Here are my top five picks to help fight diabetes, cardiovascular disease, migraine headaches, and arthritis. To your health!

Diabetes

1. Soybeans (combo of protein, high-quality carbs, and soluble fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels)
2. Wild salmon (provides protein, omega-3 fats, and vitamin D)

4. Beans (slow-release carbohydrate with soluble fiber and magnesium)
5. Almonds (great low-carb snack; also provides unsaturated fat, protein, and fiber)

Cardiovascular disease

1. Wild salmon (thins the blood and lowers triglycerides)
2. Bananas (rich in magnesium and potassium; helps manage blood pressure)
3. Brussels sprouts (rich in soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol)
4. Oatmeal (rich in soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol)
5. Sunflower seeds (3 heart-healthy ingredients: soluble fiber, plant sterols, and folic acid)
