Sweet Truths?

Google - Bookmarks


Divadish has always cooked Heart Healthy foods that supports the Mayo Clinic Eating Lifestyle .Eating this way eliminates the so called myths to what you can eat on many diets.

These myth's are for Diabetes and information is from Dr. Brulinda Narario, MD.
Here is a short list of some of those myths that are out there:

Myth 1.You need to give up starchy foods and sweets.
Most of the time you want to eat the whole grains, veggetables, lean meats or beans. But occasionaly you may have that 1/2 cup of ice cream you will have to adjust your diet to adjust for it but you can have it. Same for that cookie, piece of cake, always adjust your intake afterwards.

Myth 2. Managing diabetes means hours of exercise:
Not necessarily. While it is true exercise reduces blood glucose, you don't have to be a gym rat! 10 minutes walking, moving your body, standing while eating, moving your arms in circles, taking the stairs, parking your car further away in parking lots, all of these extra things add up significantly it is the little things that make the difference.

Myth 3. You can't prevent complications from diabetes:
A British study of 5,000 people with Type 2 Diabetes showed those who reduce their A1C ( average blood sugars) over a two - three months saw a 1% decrease in the risks of complications.

Remember you are in control of your health each and everyday, but we are only Human and sometimes do not follow all  the rules, the right information and asking your Dr's for help plus getting yourself a good Heart Healthy Diet all of these things and just trying to do it consistently makes the difference between Disease today or not.

These are but some of the things you can do daily but your eating is always the biggest key to all of our  heath issues. Good food is our foundations and without a good strong one we are all weakened. I hope this information is helpful and useful to everyone.
