HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH: SUPERFOODS

The American Diabetes Association offers a list of 10 superfoods that people with diabetes may want to consider incorporating into their diets.

Berries are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and fiber.

Citrus fruit delivers part of the daily dose of fiber and vitamin C.

Sweet potatoes are packed full of vitamin A and fiber.

Whole grains such as pearled barley and oatmeal are good sources of fiber and potassium.

Nuts, even just an ounce, can go a long way in providing key healthy fats.

Fat-free milk and yogurt add calcium, and many of the fortified products are a good source of vitamin D.

Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, is a good choice.

Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, are so low in calories and carbohydrates that you can’t eat too much.

Beans, such as navy, black, kidney or pinto, are high in fiber with about a third of the daily requirement in a half-cup.

Tomatoes, whether puréed, raw or in a sauce, provide vital nutrients such as vitamin C, iron and vitamin E.
