Diabetes Diet Menu


For those of you who have high blood sugar, focus on quality more important than quantity.

Healthy carbohydrates. Many fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, legumes, such as kidney beans, green beans, and low-fat milk. 
Foods rich in fiber. Fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, and whole whear bran and wheat. 

Eating fish at least 2 times a week. Its content of omega-3 protects the heart. Avoid cooking and frying process to benefit fully. 

Do not be afraid to consume good fats. Monounsaturated and double that of the avocado, almond, walnut, olive, and canola, have a good function for keeping cholesterol levels in the blood. However, the quantity still need to be considered because all fats are high in calories. Diabetes increases the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke by accelerating the process of blood vessel blockage and atherosclerosis. 


Don'ts 
Avoid saturated fats. Full cream milk and animal protein, such as red meat and processed meat, saturated fat is relatively high and should be reduced. Several studies have been carried out for the kind of red meat that is produced specifically, the saturated fat content is lower. Unfortunately, such meat is not commonly available. 

Avoid trans fats. Fats that are usually contained in many snacks, processed foods, margarine, should be avoided completely. 

Control cholesterol intake. The key word is 'control', rather than 'elimination'. Calculate the amount included in your daily diet (less than 200 milligrams of cholesterol per day). 

Control of salt intake. Avoid sprinkle salt, soy sauce (salty and sweet), and bottled sauces on food.
