Diet And Exercise Habits <\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes and care. There cannot be a better combination of words in the world of diabetes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Your doctor may examine and advise you on diabetes during your visits to his clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

But you are your doctor for 24 hours all through the months and years with diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many times a day do you think about the word diabetes?<\/span><\/p>\n

You can fight it with proper care.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two words that stand uppermost in diabetes care are diet and exercise!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are disciplined in these two areas, half of your battle is won!<\/span><\/p>\n

In your diet,\u00a0 50 to 60 percent of daily calories come from carbohydrates, 12 to 20 percent from proteins, and not more than 30 percent from fats.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for diet, let the balance weigh heavily in favor of fruits, vegetables, and lots of fiber.<\/span><\/p>\n

More intake of fiber will help you immensely. Give up the idea of eating large meals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take in small quantities when you are hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extremely high or low blood glucose levels need to be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for losing weight, “slow and steady wins the race.”<\/span><\/p>\n

You have already consulted your doctor, you strictly go by the norms given to you, and you lose two pounds per week. Very good! That’s good progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

The risk of heart disease and liver problems is there for diabetics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food items that are major sources of saturated fats must be avoided. Olive oil is often recommended as a good source of monounsaturated fat, the healthiest type of fat.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must remember the following points, which are your lifelines:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Maintain the normal blood glucose level.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. You have the possibility of heart and liver diseases. Limit your food items from this point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Maintain the desired level of weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

With all the emphasis on diet, research on various types of foods for diabetes patients is still going on unabated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers in this area are the most confused. They are certain about the effects of certain types of food. There are many different opinions.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the researchers are sure that cooked foods raise blood glucose levels higher than raw foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether foods with sugar raise blood glucose higher than foods with starch is still uncertain!<\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes care will always be a hot subject until there is a real cure for it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
