You’ve probably heard since you were a kid that you should eat your vegetables. Well, there are a lot of good reasons why everyone should be sure to include vegetables as part of their meals, especially people with diabetes.
Vegetables are powerhouses of nutrition that play a role in lowering the risk for or in managing some diseases. Vegetables can help manage blood pressure, lower your risk of heart disease, prevent some cancers, promote gut health, fight infections, and manage weight. They also provide energy and nutrients that are important for brain health.
The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) Nutrition and Wellness team includes registered dietitian nutritionists who curate and create tools and resources that translate the science of the ADA’s Standards of Care in Diabetes and the Nutrition Consensus into accessible education to help improve individual and community health.
