Nuts about nuts: more superfoods to fight your diabetes

Squirrels have the right idea: nuts are an important source of nutrients.

Here's your long anticipated post, the remaining four super foods. The previous post's super foods were six fruits and vegetables. In this post, the four remaining foods includes: fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, whole grains, nuts, and fat-free milk or yogurt.

An average person needs 6-9 ounces of fish per week. Fish with omega-3 fatty acids contain saturated fat, the healthier of fats.

Next, whole grains contain many nutrients which include magnesium, chromium, omega-3 fatty acids, and folate.

Nuts also contain the omega-3 fatty acids. Alongside the saturated fat, nuts contain magnesium and fiber.

Finally, fat-free milk and yogurt are the last super foods. They are not only essential to strong bones and teeth, they also have vitamin D.

Here are the ten super foods to a healthy diet. Diet, exercise and safe diabetes medication (specifically, ones that do not cause severe side effects, increased risk of bladder cancer, or heart problems) are the key to maintaining your health.
