Learning is one of the biggest stumbling blocks we have with eating and diabetes.

By learning when you should eat, how much you need to eat and what to eat, you can take excellent care of yourself. When making food choices, choose wisely so that you can lose unnecessary weight, lower you risk of diabetes complications and even feel good from day to day.

Our goal with diabetes is to keep our blood glucose levels at healthy levels and to prevent damage to our body caused by those unhealthy levels of glucose, cholesterol and blood pressures. This can be maintained with good eating and physical activity habits along with proper medications if prescribed by your health care professional.

When taking diabetes medications, it is best to follow schedules for physical activity, meals and snacks. Some medications allow for flexible schedules while others do not. Discuss your diet and medication routines with your doctor.

The risk of developing heart disease is two times that in people who have diabetes than in people who do not. High cholesterol levels raise that risk. Lowering the amounts of saturated fats and cholesterol and maintaining optimal body weight can help lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating and Diabetes definitely go hand in hand here.

With you doctors help and with monitoring results:

• Determine how many times you need to eat per day
• Determine how many snacks you can eat per day
• Determine your physical activity levels required to maintain

Remember that conditions can change as time goes by, never stop monitoring and never stop working with your health care professionals. Keep up with your diet and diabetes plans and follow them with care.

It is your life and you should make it as comfortable and as productive as you can. You can always take medications, but there is no substitute for self care.

Tips from Diabetes And Me… Always Move - Keep It Physical

by Randy Wood

Diabetics strive daily to live a life of normalcy. For many it is a very difficult and troubled road. For all, diabetes is most definitely a lifestyle altering disease.

There is consistent and ongoing research through doctors, clinics, researchers and special facilities diligently searching for cures to diabetes and ways to control and prevent the disease.

Lifestyle Center of America, a residential health center provides workshops through a revolutionary program that includes a preventive plant based diet, easy to follow physical activity program and other lifestyle choices to help overcome the effects that diabetes and other chronic diseases impose on our lives.

I have had the privilege of reading and actually using their cook book, “The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cook Book” created by Bonnie House, Diana Fleming, Ph.D., LDN, Linda Brinegar, Linda Kennedy, and Ian Blake Newman.

The research and work that has gone into this cook book along with its ease of use and information provided makes this book exceptionally valuable to those living with or touched by diabetes.

The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook is very easy to follow and use and is loaded with information so that diabetics know what to eat, why to eat it, how to prepare it, how to cook it and so much more.

The menus provided are an excellent guide for your day to day meal plan needs. You can follow the suggested plan or change it up based on your desires and tastes. They have even put together the list of equipment you need in your kitchen to prepare your meals. They have provided complete nutrition details to aid in optimizing your food intake to your needs. They have developed so many delicious and tasteful recipes covering every aspect of our normal eating habits from breakfast, lunch and dinner to deserts. The ingredients used in cooking are explained in detail and are easy for most people to get. And it tastes good!

As most people today are consuming so much fast food and easy to grab meals, living a fast and hurried lifestyle, it’s no wonder we are at the degraded levels of health that we are. Diets and lifestyle changes do not come that easy to most. The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook can help make that change in your life much less stressful. All you have to do is choose to do it.

According to new studies, eating a low-fat vegan diet may better help manage type 2 diabetes than traditional diets. A vegan diet is plant-based and consists of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. It avoids animal products, such as meat and dairy. Such diets can also help people suffering from diabetes with their fight against other complications that seem to follow, like weight gain and high cholesterol leading to heart problems.

I recommend “The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook” and I am using it. I hope you will do the same for your life.
