Control Diabetes For a Healthier Life
Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on June 10th, 2010
Men, woman, children, and especially the overweight are getting diabetes in record numbers. What can you do to prevent or control diabetes if you already have it. The good news is that you can have a healthier life by just taking extra care in what you eat and drink.
A diabetic needs the same nutrition as anyone else, but they must control the amount and type of carbohydrate rich foods more than a non-diabetic would need to. This is necessary because a diabetics body is either not producing enough insulin or it is becoming resistant to insulin. In either case, it is essential to follow a strict diet.
The safest carbohydrates to consume are in vegetables, next would be in fruits, then beans. The worst are in white flour, potatoes, white rice, and any processed foods with added sugar. Sweetened soft drinks and even fruit juice are very bad for controlling high blood sugar.
Meat has very little carbohydrates, but the fat content has to be watched. Limit your consumption of fatty red meat and eat more fish and chicken. Nuts are safe because they have the needed good fat and plenty of protein.
Your body needs a little fat to function properly and you should get this from olive oil, cold water fish, and nuts. Vinegar and olive oil mixed with spices will make a very good dressing for salads and vegetables.
Get with your doctor and find a good dietitian that works with diabetics. This is your best insurance against the health complications caused by years of being a diabetic.
Eat healthy, get your exercise, get plenty of rest, and relax to cut down of stress.
