Smart Foods and Simple Habits to Keep Blood Sugar Steady

Dietitians say steady blood sugar comes from a plate built around complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and healthy fats, paired with regular meals and movement. Key foods include avocado, whole-grain bread, beans and lentils, berries, yogurt, broccoli, eggs, apples, nuts and seeds, milk, olive oil, chicken or fish, and leafy greens, while avoiding refined carbohydrates; aim for hydration and about 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly.
