One of the best natural remedies that help normalize blood sugar levels is bulgur groats – scientists explain its effect by the combination of a large amount of fiber and phytonutrients.

High blood sugar levels threaten health with dangerous disorders, including damage to blood vessels, deterioration of heart and kidney function. At the same time, eating healthy and wholesome foods can help normalize its level and protect against such problems.

Some foods can be considered ideal in this regard – they not only help to achieve normal blood sugar levels, but also exhibit many other health-promoting properties. Scientists consider bulgur to be one of these foods.

“Bulgur is a whole grain with minimal processing, very rich in dietary fiber, has a positive effect on heart health, weight loss, and blood sugar control. Several studies have demonstrated the ability of whole grain products to improve the body's overall sensitivity to insulin,” said its experts.

According to them, thanks to the large amount of fiber, bulgur promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids that support intestinal health and proper digestive function. Due to this feature, the total amount of energy absorbed from food is reduced – thus, the groats prevent spikes in blood glucose levels.

In addition, bulgur can be considered an ideal groat for maintaining healthy heart function – it contains an impressive amount of minerals that have a positive effect on the condition of the heart muscle. Doctors recommend choosing groats with large grains, which require long cooking.
