1. Methi or Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek seeds help in lowering the blood sugar by absorbing carbohydrates and slowing down the digestion. They are high in soluble fibre and hence lower the blood glucose level and improve the glucose tolerance capacity of the body. Fenugreek seeds contain saponins which reduce the absorption of cholesterol from fatty foods. Consuming nearly 100 grams of fenugreek seeds can significantly contribute in lowering the bad cholesterol and triglycerides.

How to consume:

As fenugreek seeds are quite bitter in taste, one can consume it in powdered form. Take half teaspoon fenugreek seeds powder with lukewarm water every day on an empty stomach for better results.
