A
healthy diet is a way of eating that that reduces risk for
complications such as heart disease and stroke. A good meal
plan should fit in with our schedule and eating habits. The
right meal plan will help you improve your blood glucose,
blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers and also help keep
your weight on track.
When you make healthy food choices, you will
improve your overall health and you can even prevent complications
such as heart disease, some cancers, and hypertension. People
with diabetes have to take extra care to make sure that their
food is balanced with insulin and oral medications, and exercise
to help manage their blood glucose levels.
Healthy eating includes eating a wide variety
of foods including vegetables, whole grains, fruits, non-fat
dairy products, beans, and lean meats, poultry and fish.
People with diabetes can eat the same foods the family enjoys.
Everyone benefits from healthy eating so the whole family
can take part in healthy eating. It takes some planning but
you can fit your favorite foods into your meal plan and still
manage your blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.
Make sure your choices from each food group
provide the highest quality nutrients you can find. In other
words, pick foods rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber over
those that are processed.
