“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”—especially for diabetics. Apples are full of soluble fiber (pectin) that slows sugar absorption. They also help you feel full longer, which can prevent overeating and blood sugar swings.
Pro tip: Eat apples with the skin on for maximum fiber.

Good for digestion
Help improve insulin sensitivity
Have anti-inflammatory compounds that benefit heart and metabolic health

Choose fresh oranges over juice to get:
Controlled sugar absorption
Antioxidants that protect blood vessels
Hydration from natural water content
