What high protein food raises insulin more than most carbs? The answer may surprise you. Insulin is essential for survival, but chronically high insulin levels can contribute to obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cancer.

While many people are eating more protein and less carb to control insulin, most people don’t realize that high protein foods can also raise insulin levels. In some cases more than carbs, for example, beef has an insulin index score of 51 compared to pasta, which has a score of 40. Surprisingly, yogurt, a high protein food, has an insulin score of 115, higher than most high carb foods, such as white rice, with an insulin score of 79, and white bread, with an insulin score of 100.

Here are the top 7 beverages to avoid blood sugar control and longevity. Number 7 will probably surprise you.

In general I don’t like calorie-containing beverages, because in liquid form, if calories hit the bloodstream too quickly and don’t have the benefit of fiber to slow the absorption of calories and sugar. So the result is a spike in sugar and insulin. So consider avoiding these 7 beverages for good health; Number 1 ofcourse avoid softdrinks, like soda or pop, because of their pure sugar content and often high fructose corn syrup content. Mountain Dew for example has 11.5 teaspoons of sugar per 12 ounce can, even more than coke at 10 grams. Number 2, Diet soda. Replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners is probably worse than sugar.

Do you want to avoid diabetes naturally? This ancient herb reduces by 76% the risk of diabetes, says this scientific research.

I’ve been reversing diabetes naturally for over 35 years, and I’m the author of the ‘Peace Diet: How to Reverse Obesity, Aging, and Disease Naturally’. Of course, Diet and exercise are the most important factors in preventing diabetes. But research says this natural supplement could help, this natural herb has been used for centuries, in the Middle East, India, China, and Eastern Europe. It’s Fenugreek. In a randomized controlled study, people with pre-diabetes were given this herbal supplement before meals in order to prevent full blown diabetes. Over a period of 3 years, those who took fenugreek had lower fasting glucose and a 76% lower risk of getting diabetes compared to those who didn’t take fenugreek. The dosage was 5 grams twice a day before meals. Of course, check with your doctor before taking any new supplement. So to prevent diabetes, eat right and exercise, but also consider fenugreek.

Meta Title: Red fruits do not just look pretty. They are also packed with Quercetin that is a natural anti-histamine. Keep reading to find out what other healthy spells Quercetin has up its sleeve!

Quercetin for Stress, Blood Pressure, and Allergies

Red fruits, such as the ones pictured above, and vegetables, such as onion, are not only flavorful but also contain Quercetin. This polyphenol compound has so many health benefits that we fully expect you to start chomping on onions after reading this article! Now first things first, what are polyphenols anyway? These are chemicals that are nature’s protectors against bacteria and viruses. Other rich sources of this compound include red wine, olive oil, citrus, and apples. Maybe the proverbial bull already knew about quercetin – it would certainly explain a lot about them chasing red capes!

Health Benefits of Quercetin

Increases the resistance to oxidative stress Oxidative stress produces radicals that damage our body from the inside. The radicals are also involved in the aging process. A study on yeast cells showed that quercetin not only bolstered their resistance towards this kind of stress, it also increased their life spans! (Belinha et al., 2007)

Reduces stress and anxiety

During stressful situation, the brain produces a hormone called CRH or “Corticotropin Releasing Hormone”. This causes the adrenal glands to secrete cortosol in what is called an adaptation response. Too much cortisol can increase anxiety and depression. Quercetin helps to inhibit the excess release of CRH and helps to control stress, anxiety and even depression. (J Nutr Biochem. 2010)

Reduces Blood Pressure

Quercetin is also a substance that can help reduce blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a substance that causes relaxation of blood vessels resulting in better blood pressure control.

Decreases the hold allergic reactions have on us since they have natural antihistamines One in every 5 people is affected by asthma and allergies in the United States. Together, we spend almost 8 billion on anti-allergy medication every year! Quercetin from natural sources can help stop the release of histamines – no more runny noses!.Reduces the swelling that comes with arthritis – say goodbye to swollen joints! (Chirumbolo, 2010).

Our heart suffers the most when the balance between good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol is disturbed (Egert, 2009).Quercetin helps restore that balance by preventing plaque buildup on the walls of the arteries. No or less plaque buildup means reduced risk of heart attacks! When combined with red wine that is alcohol-free, this polyphenol can stop cholesterol from accumulating in obese people. Obesity increases the risk of heart attack.

Works against tumors and cancers (Follo-Martinez et al., 2013).Various studies have also shown that Quercetin halts tumors in their footsteps. It even lowers the risk of cancers! This chemical has also been shown to decrease the risk of lung cancers in smokers, as well as, keeping the prostate and colon healthy.

Sources of Quercetin

As mentioned before, the natural sources of Quercetin include red fruits and vegetables. This means having apples and onions will actually keep the doctor away from you. Other sources are citrus fruits, parsley, red wine, and tea. The afore-mentioned sources are quite quercetin-rich. Other foods that will provide you with a measure of Quercetin include beans, blackberries, cherries, blueberries, grapes, leafy green vegetables, buckwheat, and olive oil.

Dosage of Quercetin

According to a study published in The Journal of Nutrition, it is safe for most people to take 50-500 mg of Quercetin every day. (Egert et al., 2008 )

Things to Consider
There may be side effects to consider. The common ones are listed below:
Nausea
Upset stomach
Headache

Kidney patients, pregnant/breastfeeding women, and children should avoid quercetin since the dosage for these groups has not been researched yet. Furthermore, it is possible that it could interact with anticoagulants, chemotherapy medications, corticosteroids, and cyclosporine. Therefore, avoid intake of quercetin, if you are on these medications.
