Which is Adequate food for diabetics?

For many years it was considered that a diabetic's diet was very restrictive in that it eliminated sweets and starches. Currently, if the patient is in a state of diabetes controlled by insulin injections or medication, may have a quite varied diet and that will have a great effect on their quality of life. Some people may become depressed because they can not eat things they like, hence the importance of diet of the diabetic, said nutritionist Sara Abu-Sabbah in Health in RPP.

There are four basic points to consider before you know what a diabetic should eat. The person must be a healthy weight and if you climb, you should use a specialist to recommend what to do to get off. Each diet will be personalized according to the level of weight that the patient has.

Another important point to consider is physical activity, should be a tension but not aerobic exercise such as walking for 35 to 45 minutes daily. A third point has to do with the timing of meals.

Generally an adult consumes three meals a day but in the case of diabetes is recommended up to six meals a day because outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner should not be small snacks rich in sugar or simple carbohydrates. It may be a small piece of cheese or almonds or peanuts that trigger sugar levels. It is mandatory consumption of vegetables, preferably raw because they contain fiber that carries the fat and gives us a good supply of minerals and vitamins. Do not exceed four fruits a day. Must be accompanied with lunch or breakfast. Should not be consumed in juice. It will be preferable to avoid grapes and ripe bananas. Also raisins, figs and dates.

The patient can consume controlled sugar but brown and white, but also cereal grains, like brown rice, for example. Potatoes should be boiled or baked.

Meats should be low in fat and should be consumed more than three times a week. Can also be used to fish and for that you have a number of recipes. Things to avoid are fried foods.

The person may consume wine, two glasses full. Do not forget that too much hurt.

Also avoid products that are packaged despite bearing the letterhead of comprehensive because they contain preservatives and refined elements that will ultimately raise the level of glucose in the blood. In the case of sweeteners for diabetics to remember that although they are recommended for diabetics can not be consumed at the whim and sprees.
