02  Avocado
03  Green Tea
04  Chia Seeds
05  Oatmeal
06  Blueberries
07  Strawberries
08  Olive Oil
09.  Eggplant
10.  Walnuts
11.  Guava

Get this: Studies suggest that those with high levels of vitamin C in their systems may also have the lowest incidence of diabetes. But before you reach for that orange to stay healthy, consider this: Guava provides 600% of the day’s vitamin C in just one cup! A small round orange, on the other hand, packs just 85%. Although the tropical fruit packs 4 grams of protein per cup, Smith suggests pairing guava with an additional source of protein—like nuts or a low-fat cheese stick—to ensure blood sugar levels remain even keel. 

12.  Beans
13.  Cherries

Cherries are packed with anthocyanins, an antioxidant that helps lower blood sugar levels in diabetics. In fact, a Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry study found that anthocyanins could reduce insulin production by as much as 50%! And get this: Cherries can also help whittle your middle. They’re so efficient at zapping fat that we’ve named them one of the 30 Best Foods for 6-Pack Abs!

15.  Unprocessed Wheat Bran
16.  Sardines

You already knew that nutrient-packed leafy greens like kale, bok choy and spinach should make a regular appearance in your diet, but were you aware that they can help keep you aches and pains at bay? It’s true—and it’s all thanks to their high levels of sulforaphane, a compound that blocks enzymes linked to joint destruction and inflammation. 

20.  Beets
21.  Beet Greens
22.  Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are packed with potassium, a mineral that can lessen the effects of sodium on blood pressure. They’re also rich in carotenoids, powerful antioxidants which help stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance, which prevents calories from being converted into fat. (Woohoo!) Roast them up as a side to grilled meats or fish, or slice and bake them into healthy fries, drizzled with coconut oi;.

23.  Dark Chocolate
24.  Whole Grain Bread
25.  Pork Tenderloins
