7. 7. Fenugreek Seeds: Supporting Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
      Fenugreek seeds have a long history of use in traditional cooking and herbal practices. They contain soluble fibre and other plant compounds that have attracted scientific interest, particularly for their potential effects on blood sugar regulation.

 

Why does that matter for your eyes?

Persistently elevated blood glucose can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes can also increase the risk of other

eye complications, including cataracts.

Fenugreek fibre may help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates when consumed as part of a meal. Some research suggests fenugreek may help improve certain blood sugar measures, although the evidence varies and it should not replace prescribed diabetes treatment.

 

How to include fenugreek in your diet
Fenugreek seeds can be soaked, ground, or added to curries, soups, and other dishes. Their slightly bitter flavour works particularly well with savoury ingredients.
