Staying healthy even if there isn't a collapse is challenging. However, for individuals with serious diseases like diabetes can benefit from these foods. Find out what they are and how they can help post-collapse!

Avocados: Avocados may have a high fat content, but they’re still good for you in moderation. They’re loaded with monounsaturated fats. These help slow sugar release into the blood.

Club Soda: Carbonated beverages, the kind without a lot of sugar, have no carbohydrates, which helps sugar control and as well as weight control. Most now come in fruit flavors to make them less boring.

Eggs: If you’re overweight, two eggs for breakfast will help you lose weight by controlling hunger sensations and may decrease the highs and lows of sugar levels after a meal.

Chia Seed: This gluten-free grain helps control glucose, especially after meals. It increases the body’s response to insulin and may even have a beneficial effect on a number of other issues that diabetics have to deal with, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Blueberries: Blueberries help increase your body’s sensitivity to the effects of insulin. When insulin is more effective, your blood sugars go down, especially in type 2 diabetics.

Lean Meats: High-protein foods, such as meats, aren’t as problematic for diabetes as carbohydrates. Fish, lean cuts of meat, and chicken breast (skinless) are good choices. Meat is a source of Chromium, which helps insulin do its job and helps the body metabolizes carbs.

Staying healthy after a collapse is a lot easier with these tips. If you're diabetic or have family or friends who are, these foods can really make a difference when medical supplies are running low.
