Diet and supplements for a diabetes patient? and things to avoid?
I am asking this for my mom. She takes insulin and feels sick often. She’s not too old, in her 40’s but it feels like shes 80. She often feels pain at heart, and her legs and arms
right now i believe her diet SUCKS. she’s not obese even though she eats alot of oily food, but i think it does effect her diabetes. so any tips and suggestions will help plus a complete diet plan [breakfast,lunch,snacks,dinner] and things to avoid…
thanks
Your mum needs to go on a serious diet, if she has sugar diabetes, she cannot eat oily food or any such food related to junk foods or foods that have carbohydrates,
The liver digests carbohydrates by breaking them down into simple sugars, or glucose, which stimulates the production of insulin in the pancreas. The insulin functions to get the sugar into the body’s cells to be used as energy. The two different types of carbohydrates affect the production of insulin differently—when digesting simple carbohydrates, insulin levels spike faster, and the carbs are used up more quickly for energy. This explains why many who turn to a candy bar for a quick supply of energy find that their energy levels crash when the “sugar high” comes to an end. Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest, resulting in longer lasting energy, and less of an insulin reaction in the body.
Which are found in fruits and dairy products are more easily digested by the body. They are also often found in processed, refined foods such as white sugar, pastas, and white bread. which take longer for the body to digest, and are most commonly found in vegetables (cellulose), whole grain breads and pasta, brown rice, and legumes. Foods with unrefined grains, such as brown rice, retain complex carbs, unlike refined grains, such as white rice. This is because the refining process removes some of the grain’s fiber and nutrients. Eating a serving of whole grain cereal such as oatmeal will fill you up and give you longer lasting energy than a bowl of sugary cereal due to the way the body processes and uses the carbohydrates.
Benefits of Polysaccharides in Goji Berries
One of the best best things found in Goji Berries are the high level of polysaccharides. Studies have shown that polysaccharides are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars necessary for proper immune function and intercellular communication. These polysaccharides can enhance health by maintaining normal cell growth and thus may help slow the aging process. This isn’t to say that you can eat a bunch of junk food and expect to beabsolved by topping it off with a handful of Goji Berries. It’s best to stick with a healthy diet and include foods such as Goji Berries for optimal health.
