Ginger, an All-Star Food for Diabetes

 


Ginger root is rich in zinc, which is a co-factor in many of the thousands of biochemical reactions that our body continuously performs. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties as well as immune boosting properties making this a well-rounded and tasty addition to any meal and a boon for diabetics. It is also good for sex drive

Sources of zinc include oysters, calf’s liver, venison, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. (Are you starting to notice a pattern when it comes to All-Star foods for diabetes?) More sources of zinc are lamb, pecans, split peas, egg yolk, lima beans, almonds, walnuts, sardines, and buckwheat.
