food for diabetes

Traditionally eaten in many parts of India, banana stems are packed with flavour and nutrition. According to this research paper, they are also great for weight loss and controlling diabetes.

Dr Monika Garg, a scientist at National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI) in Mohali, Punjab, has developed three new varieties of wheat - black, blue, and purple - which can reduce blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels and body fat levels.

They are so versatile, you can have them with salads, bread, yoghurt or plain water!
