Nopal is a food that has undoubtedly offered us a wealth of nutrients for many years. We can enjoy it in various ways, but especially in a good Mexican dish. We share the benefits it has for people with diabetes:

• Nopal has a hypoglycemic effect, as it stabilizes and regulates blood sugar levels, making it an effective tool in the prevention and control of diabetes.
• Additionally, thanks to the fiber it contains, it helps eliminate excess cholesterol, preventing much of it from being absorbed and thus not accumulating in veins and arteries.
• Nopal contains vitamins A, B complex, C, minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, fibers, and amino acids that help eliminate toxins.
• The insoluble dietary fibers it contains absorb water and speed up the passage of food through the digestive tract and help regulate bowel movements.
