Introduction
Managing blood sugar levels is essential for maintaining overall health, especially for those with diabetes or those at risk. While many focus on complex diets and medications, some simple and natural solutions can make a big difference. One such solution is the humble boiled egg. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins, a boiled egg can help regulate blood sugar levels, improve satiety, and reduce spikes in insulin. In this article, we’ll explore how incorporating boiled eggs into your diet can contribute to better blood sugar control and offer practical ways to enjoy this versatile food.
Ingredients
1-2 large eggs
A pinch of salt (optional)
Fresh pepper or other seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Boil the Eggs:
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water, ensuring the eggs are submerged.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. If you prefer softer yolks, you can boil them for a shorter time (around 6-8 minutes).
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice-cold water or run them under cold water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Peel and Serve:
Once cooled, peel the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, or any seasoning you prefer, such as paprika or chili flakes for a bit of spice.
Enjoy the boiled eggs as a snack, breakfast, or add them to salads, sandwiches, or grain bowls.
