Diabetes - Living in health
Many people are already starting to catch up with the knowledge
that your energy is directly proportional to what you put into
your body (A.K.A. food).
Studies have shown that if you eat a high "raw" vegetable diet,
your energy will increase tenfold and you will have more vibrant
health in your life. It is recommended to eat as most vegetables
as you can. Once you have tried this, and once you have felt the
improved wellness of following a healthy diet, it will be hard
to go back.
When people say they are tired, that they have back or neck
pains, when they say they caught a cold, this are all sympthoms
of having your PH balance lowered. In return, your body starts
to accumulate more and more cholesterol as a defense mechanism
to "trap" the acidity of your body. This in return starts to
cause diseases.
This is when diabetes comes in. 80% of the diabetic population
are obese. One of the main goals in the diabetes diet is to
lower your weight and maintain it. You must keep this is mind.
In addition to bringing you to your ideal weight, the purpose of
your diet is to maintain regular glucose levels in your body, to
protect your heart by maintaining healthy lipid (cholesterol and
triglyceride)levels, and to control blood pressure.
These are the
basic guidelines and purpose of a diabetic diet
but there are other things you want to consider, depending on
what type of diabetes are you treating and the specific
conditions of each person.
For example, a simple heart healthy diet can work great for
people with type 2 diabetes, but a type 1 diabetes person may
require a different kind of diet. These are things your doctor
or nutritionist will design specifically for you.
What a person may not know, is that when studies have been
conducted on similar people with different diets, the most
important factor in getting great results was not the diet
itself. The biggest most important factor in maintaining good
health lies in being attentive and focused on the diet itself.
In other words, any healthy diet works if patients work at it.
Intricate dietary methods are available for control of blood
sugar in type 1 and more severe type 2 diabetes. If one of these
approaches works in controlling glucose levels, there is no
reason to choose another. Each of them can be effective, but
because regulating diabetes is an individual situation, everyone
with this condition should get help from a dietary professional
in selecting the best method. You must start to live in health.
