1) Chicken is an excellent lean protein choice for diabetics, and it can help slow your digestion, which, in effect, aids your glucose control. Chicken can also aid your nerve health due to its wealth of micronutrients, including a variety of antioxidants like NIACIN, PYRIDOXINE, RIBOFLAVIN, and THIAMINE.
2) Avocados supply monounsaturated fats, including OLEIC ACID, which has been found to reduce neuropathy-associated inflammation. Unsaturated fatty acids also improve the transmission of signals between neurons. Plus, avocados contain beneficial carotenoid antioxidants which can reduce the risk of macular degeneration.
3) Beans contain all 9 essential amino acids, which protect your nerve tissues against oxidative stress. And they supply B VITAMINS, which are utilized by the body in the maintenance of the nervous system. Beans are also rich in MAGNESIUM, which aids nervous system regulation.
4) Blueberries are an excellent source of VITAMIN C, which is critical to the health of nervous system cells and tissues, as it has been found to stimulate the growth and health of MYELIN, the insulating protection layer surrounding nerves.
5) Broccoli is an excellent source of multiple B VITAMINS, especially FOLATE, which has been found to help prevent multiple diseases of the central nervous system, including Alzheimer’s disease. It also contains MAGNESIUME, which works to regulate neurotransmitters, and calcium which helps generate neuronal electrical signals while also initiating and regulating the responses of nervous system tissues during an injury.
