The choice of healthy foods
Knowing what you can eat can be confusing.
Everywhere we hear news about what is good and bad for you. Some basic principles have survived many fad diets and resisted the passage of time.
Here are a few tips to choose healthy foods for you and your whole family.
Grains and vegetables with starch
If you are going to eat grains, select the ones that are most nutritious. Choose whole grains, because they have many vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber.
Fat
The amount of fat you consume depends on many factors, but more important than total fat is the type of fat you eat. There are "healthy fats" and "unhealthy fats."
Dairy products
Including dairy products in your diet is an easy way to consume high quality calcium and protein.
Foods with protein
Meat and meat substitutes, such as soy and cheese products, are excellent sources of protein. The biggest difference between the foods in this group is how much saturated fat and total fat they contain.
Understanding carbohydrates
Nowadays, we hear about carbohydrates all the time.
Foods that contain carbohydrates can raise blood glucose. If you are aware of how many grams of carbohydrates you consume and set the maximum limit you can eat, this will help you maintain the desired level of blood glucose.
Sugar alcohols
Sugar alcohols are a type of sweetener with reduced calories. Sugar alcohols have fewer calories than sugar and have less effect on glucose (blood sugar) than other carbohydrates.
Low Calorie Sweeteners
When you have diabetes, including sweets in your diet requires careful planning.
Sugar and desserts
If you need something to satiate your craving for something sweet, try eating a fresh fruit or fruit salad. If you decide to include a dessert in your meal plan, make sure it's in small portions
