December 15th, 2009The Importance of Fish in Diabetic Recipes – Learn How to Have a Healthy and Balanced Diabetic Diet
December 14th, 2009When you have diabetes there are certain foods that can help or hinder your health. Each food may have its pros and cons, but the main idea is that everything is good in moderation. Fish is often recommended in the average diet, and here is a guide to how this relates to diabetics. In a balanced diet, which is extremely important for diabetics, fish is great for adding protein. It also has other benefits of the oils contained within the fish known as ‘omega 3′. These oils are made of polyunsaturated fat and are found in fish such as salmon and sardines. They are good for lowering the fat in your blood and protecting against cardiovascular disease. Fish in general is a great low-fat way of adding protein to your diet. If you have diabetes then you will be at higher risk of cardiovascular disease meaning that it will be a good idea to eat oily fish twice a week, as opposed to the general recommendation of oily fish once per week for those who do not have diabetes. Oily fish may be higher in calories but they are recommended even for those trying to lose weight. They are also a great source for vitamin D. If you think you do not like fish then there are ways to include different types of fish that may appeal to you. Some fish are strong tasting, but others are less fishy and therefore more appealing to those who do not normally eat fish.
Good Diabetic Breakfasts Can Help Maintain a Healthy Diabetic Diet and Keep You Going All Day
December 11th, 2009When you have diabetes whether its diabetes type one or type two, you should be prepared to start making meal plans of what you will eat every day. Whilst main meals can become the focus of any diabetic diets, the truth is that meals throughout the day will need to be monitored. As well as eating three healthy meals, you may want to reduce the portions and start eating snacks throughout the day to help keep up a constant blood glucose level. The start of any day should be with a healthy breakfast. It is essential to get going for the day, and it is important you do not skip breakfast. Before you were diagnosed with diabetes you may have had a certain routine of what you ate, and this may not need to be altered too much. Most breakfast cereals will be fine and healthy for you to eat as well as toast and breakfast muffins. At breakfast time you will want to make sure that your appetite is satisfied, making porridge a great choice for your breakfast meal. You can also have a portion of fruit at this time to help contribute to your intake of fruit and veg and maintain a balanced diet. If you usually sweeten your food you should avoid this, but you can use fruit as a substitute for sugar. Fruit juice may not be the best option for the morning as it can help to affect your blood sugar levels quickly, so avoid it or limit the levels you drink.
