10 super foods to help beat diabetes

There are foods and then there are "super" foods. Superfoods are generally thought of as foods that have very healthy qualities when eaten correctly (i.e., raw instead of cooked in some cases), instead of foods that have satisfying qualities but inadequate nutrition. At least, that is how I think of foods in terms of an easy classification.

When you're trying to prevent disease and possibly even fight health complications, it's important to know which specific foods can help you achieve a particular goal. For example, the below list of foods that has been designed to fight diabetes makes not only for a disease-fighting list of foods, but an optimal shopping list as well. I know many of these vegetables are not palatable to many -- but try adding some spice. Below are the best foods for fighting the onset of diabetes according to eDiets:

1. Apples
2. Asparagus
