13. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is high in fiber, higher than most other grains. This means that it is highly effective at lowering bad cholesterol and very good at slowing the rise of blood glucose. The fiber consumed creates a form of barrier between the enzymes and the absorptive surface of your stomach. Steel cut oatmeal may have a longer cooking time than instant oats but it is lower on the glycemic index and thus better for your blood sugar.
