Baked or Broiled Fish
Some types of fish, such as salmon and herring, contain essential nutrients for brain and heart health. Both of these fish contain Omega 3, a fatty acid that may also protect your body from the damaging effects of diabetes. Even without the connection to diabetes, these nutrients are extremely important for overall health–and overall health can directly impact your risk or severity level if you have the disease.
Fish is also quick and easy to make, and is ideal for busy families who are pressed for time. For an easy dish, place halibut fillets into a porcelain baking dish and sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice and salt. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and serve on a bed of fresh romaine lettuce.
