There is no single miracle food or even a dietary supplement that will by itself, help to prevent Type 2 diabetes, or reverse the disease.
However, the right overall balance of foods in your eating plan, and especially the overall amount of food, can offer substantial help.
That said, are you trying to increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables? If so, a salad is a terrific way to get the job done.
Salads will not only incorporate a load of fresh vegetables but, depending on the salad you are preparing, you can also add in fresh fruit as well.
It's a win-win for optimal health all around but also for helping to lower your blood sugar and your weight.
If you're tired of your usual bland salad however, you need to liven it up a bit more.
The following recipes will do just that.
Feel free to add diced chicken breast to either of these salads if you need to get in more protein, for example, if you are serving the salad as the main course and not a side salad...
