Suggested ingredients and their health benefits....

Apple Cider Vinegar - Bragg’s apple cider vinegar with “the Mother” includes the culture of beneficial bacteria and raw enzymes that promote digestive health. When ingested, apple cider vinegar can improve the level of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices of the stomach. Hydrochloric acid breaks down the food and digestive enzymes split up the proteins to support healthy digestion. Typically, people with high blood sugar have lower levels of stomach acid. Additionally, your stomach needs to be highly acidic to kill bacteria and pathogens that may enter your body through your mouth.

Almond Flour - Almond flour contains lots of nutrients and vitamins, including vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber. Almond flour is gluten free, making it a popular alternative to wheat flour in gluten-free baking and cooking. Almond flour is also low in carbohydrates and high in fat.

Chia Seeds - Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which can improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels and promote intestinal health. Fiber takes longer to digest and makes you feel satisfied longer, which is how it can help with weight loss and decrease your risk of developing diabetes or heart disease.

Coconut Milk - The Glycemic Load of coconut milk is low. It is only 4.81. This is a low value, and it indicates that the blood sugar levels will rise but at a very slow pace, which is harmless for diabetics and blood sugar concerns. (https://www.beatdiabetesapp.in/is-coconut-milk-good-for-diabetics-5-benefits-daily-limits/). Coconut milk may aid in weight loss, increases insulin sensitivity, it's good for your heart, boosts immunity and it enriches the health of skin and hair. And it's delicious!

Coconut Oil - A growing body of research shows that adding coconut oil to your diet and personal care routine could be one of the easiest ways to improve your health, and well-being. Around half of the fatty acids in coconut oil are lauric acid. Lauric acid is particularly good at killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi when applied topically. When you ingest coconut oil, it reacts with enzymes to forms a monoglyceride called monolaurin. Monolaurin is great for killing harmful pathogens. In addition to keeping all kinds of nastiness at bay, both of these substances have been shown to kill the bacteria and very dangerous pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida. Candida is the overgrowth of yeast quite common in those with high blood sugar.

Coconut Sugar - Coconut sugar contains healthy fats that are known to help prevent high cholesterol and heart disease. Inulin is a type of dietary fiber that helps keep your gut healthy, prevent colon cancer, and balance your blood sugar. While standard table sugar is pure sucrose, coconut sugar only contains about 75 percent sucrose. Nutritionists tend to treat coconut sugar like regular table sugar and recommend limiting how much you have.

Cranberry Concentrate - Cranberry juice and extracts may boost immunity, lower blood sugar in people with diabetes and protect against cancer, heart disease, stomach ulcers, cavities and gum disease.

Goji Berries - This fruit offers high amounts of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, riboflavin, potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, and zinc. Goji also provides high levels of many antioxidants, but especially beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Goji is a nightshade, related to the tomato, potato and eggplant, and offers many of the same antioxidants.

Research has looked at goji for a range of proposed health benefits, including immune function, metabolic syndrome, and neurological disorders - although not necessarily weight loss.

A few cautions: If you take Warafin (a blood thinner), talk to your doctor before consuming any products containing goji, because it may cause an interaction. Goji berries may also interact with diabetes and blood pressure drugs. When eaten in moderation, goji berries appear to be safe. Before adding goji berries or supplements to your diet, discuss any concerns with your health care provider.

Ground Flax - With its mild, nutty flavor and crisp, crunchy consistency, flaxseed is a versatile ingredient that can enhance the taste and texture of almost any recipe. Just one serving provides a good amount of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, along with several important vitamins and minerals.

Hemp Seeds - Mineral depletion is among the side effects of sugar consumption. Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA. Hemp seeds are a great source of magnesium, which helps regulate your heartbeat and is linked to the prevention of coronary heart disease. They also contain Linoleic acid, which one study found reduced participants' cholesterol levels by 15% and may act to reduce blood pressure. Hemp seeds have a wonderful nutty taste.

Lemongrass Essential Oil - Lemongrass essential oil comes from the fragrant leaves and fibrous stems of Cochin grass, also known as the lemongrass plant. doTERRA Lemongrass oil is distilled from fresh lemongrass grown on family farms in Southern India. Lemongrass oil may lower blood sugar levels, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Lemongrass used aromatically can decrease blood pressure.

Madagascar Vanilla Essential Oil - A perennial climbing vine that grows up to 75 feet, the Vanilla planifolia plant is in the Orchid family, with yellow-white flowers that produce odorless pods or beans. Plant blooms must be hand pollinated, and it takes three to four years for the vanilla plant to begin producing beans that must be harvested by hand. The beans then go through a time consuming and labor-intensive process to allow them to fully develop their aroma and flavor. Afterward, the beans are ground into small pieces and, to preserve the natural vanilla aroma, pressurized CO2 is used in a two-step extraction process that captures the aromatic constituents from the beans to create the absolute. Use Madagascar Vanilla as your personal fragrance. It's wonderful in smoothies. Try a few drops in a your bath with some Epsom salts.

Matcha - Matcha helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making it ideal for diabetics and those with blood sugar issues. There appears to be a direct connection between antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic activity. The natural sugars (polysaccharides) in matcha help to stabilize blood sugar levels, and to protect against insulin spikes, thus stabilizing blood sugar levels. Polysaccharides from green tea in concentrated form are used in the treatment of diabetes in China.

Miso - Some studies have shown that miso soup can help improve the body's ability to control blood sugar. One 2021 study found that women with type 2 diabetes who consumed miso soup every day had lower HbA1c levels than those who didn't.

Quinoa - I never tire of recommending quinoa to my nutrition counseling clients. It's a great mix of blood stabilizing nutrients, such as protein and fiber, while also providing the fill-me-up feeling that starchy foods are known for! Add quinoa to soups, salads, and wraps. Quinoa is also great as a warm breakfast cereal with a few raspberries, slivered almonds and a bit of honey.

Sea Salt/Mineral Salt - Sea salt is a general term for salt produced by evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes. It is less processed than table salt and retains trace minerals. These minerals add flavor and color. Sea salt is available as fine grains or crystals.

Soba Noodles - Please check the ingredients on your Soba Noodles. They should be 100% buckwheat and no wheat. Buckwheat may moderate blood sugar levels, making it a healthy choice for people with type 2 diabetes. What’s more, it may boost heart health by improving blood pressure and your blood lipid profile. it is recommended that you limit your serving to about 1/2 cup. I'm including it in your recipes but you may want to substitute your noodles with cauliflower rice to lower your carb intake if you have any concerns.

Stevia - Stevia is a low-calorie sweetener that has antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. It’s been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unlike artificial sweeteners and sugar, stevia can suppress your plasma glucose levels and significantly increase glucose tolerance. It’s also not an artificial sweetener, technically speaking. That’s because it’s made from the leaves of the steviaplant.

Tahini - Tahini is rich in polyunsaturated fats and bioactive plant compounds called lignans that have been shown to improve insulin secretion. In human studies, sesame consumption has been linked to improved serum glucose, hemoglobin A1C and insulin concentrations in patients with diabetes.

Tamari - Tamari is a liquid condiment and popular soy sauce substitute produced through the fermentation of soybeans. Unlike regular soy sauce, little to no wheat is added during this process, resulting in a final product that is free of wheat and gluten.

Adding a dash of tamari to your dishes can add a salty, rich flavor to foods. It works especially well in stir-fries, dips, sauces and dressings. Plus, although soy sauce and tamari are often used interchangeably, other ingredients like coconut aminos can also be used as a tamari substitute as well to bring a savory deep flavor to foods.
