Almonds

Start your day right by adding a handful of these nutrient-rich nuts to your first meal.

Research suggests that a daily serving of almonds (30 grams/23 almonds) may improve both short-term and long-term markers of blood sugar control in those with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes. It is also believed that when almonds are consumed along with a meal, monounsaturated fatty acids in almonds help slow down the release of glucose into the bloodstream thus, preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar levels 1. So, embrace this healthy nut - include almonds in your cereal, or add them to your bowl of oats/porridge or just munch on a handful to enjoy a tasty breakfast!
