Dr. Oberg explains what a whole food diet is and how it can improve type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Oberg:
Whole foods diets, we believe, are a key way to both prevent and treat diabetes by really focusing on a low glycemic index or a low glycemic diet that’s very low or free from refined carbohydrates and at the same time very high in micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals that we find in fruits and vegetables. The body is getting the nutrients that it needs to work optimally.
The whole foods diet that really emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, beans, it’s a great way for not only improving your health while you have diabetes and reducing your blood sugar, but for preventing most chronic diseases.
