Looking for a healthy snack that won’t send your blood sugar levels skyrocketing? Look no further than roasted cashew nuts! Not only are they delicious, but recent studies have shown that consuming roasted cashews may help regulate glucose metabolism in individuals with insulin resistance. The fibre, healthy fats, and protein found in cashews can all work together to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood glucose levels.
Optimise the consumption of roasted cashew nuts by
• Sticking to a moderate serving size of about 1 ounce of roasted cashews per day
• Pair cashews with other foods to slow down glucose absorption, such as adding them to a salad or combining them with fruit (eg, cashews + 30g banana)
• Avoid consuming cashews that are processed, coated in sugar or other sweeteners as they may cause hyperglycemia
• Monitor glucose levels regularly to assess the impact of cashew consumption
The fibre, healthy fats, and protein found in cashews can all work together to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood glucose levels. Consuming roasted cashews in moderation as part of a balanced diet may be a beneficial dietary intervention for managing glucose levels in individuals.
