  • stroke, and
  • heart disease.

2. Watercress is almost free of calories but is still rich in nutrients. It has...

  • four times the amount of calcium than milk
  • more iron than you find in spinach, and
  • is comparable in vitamin C to an orange.

Watercress helps protect you from macular degeneration, improves the health of your bones and boosts your immune system. Improved immunity helps stave off illness, the consequences of which make your blood sugar more difficult than usual to control.

3. Spinach is always on a superfood list - although many people don't like it. It helps...

  • protect your eyes from disease,
  • helps improve brain function and reduces the risk of dementia, and
  • lowers blood pressure.

Spinach is one of the few plant sources of zinc, a mineral that protects insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Zinc is lost in the urine when blood sugar is too high. Spinach is also a source of magnesium, a mineral shown to decrease the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

4. Carrots are a delicious vegetable either raw, cooked or juiced with other vegetables. That extra sweetness makes vegetable juices more palatable. They're very versatile when thinking about using them as part of a meal. Carrots contain carotenoids which help prevent many common cancers. One carrot per day halves the risk of lung cancer which is astounding.
