Dos and Donts for Diabetic Diet
Don’t Let Diabetes Ruin Your Life!
|
All diets have a list of what you can do and what you should not do. The Diabetic Diet is no different.
Below you will see a list of “Dos and Don’ts” for Diabetic Diet. |
The “Dos” on a Diabetic Diet:
• DO drink plenty of water each day.
• DO eat at least 3 servings of fresh vegetables daily.
• DO eat at the same times everyday.
• DO switch to low fat milk.
• DO eat 20 – 25 grams of raw onion everyday.
• DO ingest cinnamon daily.
• DO eat a daily allotment of fresh fruit.
• DO try to switch to herbal tea rather than caffeinated tea
You may notice a few odd things on that DO list. If you are wondering why you should be eating raw onion daily, you should understand that onions contain properties that actually fight against diabetes.
It aids in the digestion as well as serving as a diuretic. Cinnamon is another spice found to help control blood sugar. It has been suggested that boiling some cinnamon sticks in water, then drinking this “cinnamon tea” will lower your blood sugar.
Now let’s have a look at the DON’TS of the Dos and Don’ts for Diabetic Diet.
• DON’T overeat at any time.
• DON’T eat or drink anything containing a lot of sugar.
• DON’T overdo it when adding salt to your food.
• DON’T eat fried or fatty foods.
• DON’T have more than 2 cups of regular coffee or tea daily.
• DON’T drink whole milk.
• DON’T eat cheese high in fat.
• DON’T eat lots of rice, potatoes, bananas or carrots. These will raise your blood sugar.
These seem to be pretty self-explanatory. You can replace the sugar with things like honey, and artificial sweeteners that are on the market today. If you are trying to find another way to replace those fried foods you may love, try baking or broiling instead.
Use the above Dos and DON’Ts for Diabetic Diet list when planning your daily meals. It might just make things a little less complicated as well as keeping your diabetes under control.
