I Have Been Assigned to a Diabetic Diet

I think it is hilarious that everyone is wondering how I am dropping the weight so fast. I have been assigned to a diabetic diet and I have included in that some juicing recipes. Just a little something to keep me nice and healthy. But the pounds have been just falling off of me. I do not mind at all, but it baffles others. I try to explain to them it is just common knowledge of being healthy.

Juicing once a day is very good for you and I have one juice recipe I use that I call the Mean Green. It is 1 cucumber, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of watercress, 1 cup of parsley, 1 carrot, and a half of a lemon. From all of that it makes about a glass of my green concoction and I have the ability to drink all of those vitamins. More than any vitamin pill will ever have in it.

 

When Do You Need High Protein Foods?

Proteins contain amino acid groups necessary for building the body tissues and repair of damaged cells. Body builders and athletes require enough intakes of high protein foods to build skeletal muscle and repair cells damaged during workouts.

Clinical estimates indicate that under normal circumstances, a human body requires a daily intake of 7gms of protein for every 10kgs of body mass. Deficiency results into Kwashiorkor among the juveniles below the age of five years. Excessive proteins are expelled from the body through the skin and the kidney.

Soy protein isolate and Whey protein concentrates are the most recommended high protein foods with over 80% protein value. Other plant sources of proteins include pumpkin flowers, beans, peanuts, and peas. The body also requires daily intakes of animal proteins. Chicken breasts, turkey breasts, fish, and meat provide the best sources of animal proteins.

Nutritionists advocate for the use of protein supplements after gym workouts and for protein deficiency illnesses.

Brownies Aren't That Bad for You

Some people seem to think that chocolate is really unhealthy, but that’s simply not the case. Sure, you’re not supposed to eat a huge amount of processed sugar every day, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a little bit. So long as you’re avoiding soda and candy, you’re not going to have too much high fructose corn syrup in your diet; you can treat yourself out to some regular sugar from time to time. Of course, if you limit yourself to actual cocoa powder and dark chocolate, you’re going to be able to make some healthy brownies that aren’t all that high in processed sugars. Once again, you’re not supposed to eat them every day of the year, but they’re not going to kill you if you have them once in a while. You can even experiment with some whole grain breading if you really want to take the healthiness to the next level.

Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil

I think not all of us are aware of the procedure known as the molecular distillation process. This is a kind of procedure where the fish oils from fishes are cleansed from any form of toxins found on the fish oil. This procedure is undertaken to make sure that the fish oil pills we are drinking is safe from contamination that can really harm us. In fact these contaminants were caused by the reckless people who throw their toxins and garbage everywhere in the ocean and seas. Due to this, fishes tend to eat this and have carried the contaminants in their bodies. That is why it is very important that fish oils must undergo this kind of procedure so that toxins like mercury will be removed from the fish oils. Thus, this will cause us to have a relief knowing that we are safe and be healthy as we consume fish oils.

Stay Alert and Energized

I am a doctor and have to work for long hours at the hospital. Since I am still doing my residency, I have to work in night shifts as well and sometimes I don’t sleep at all. I have to drink a lot of coffee to stay alert and awake but I am from an Asian back ground and black coffee is too strong for me. So I add a bit of milk to it but then my stomach hurts because I am also lactose intolerant. One day a colleague who is from Chile offered me yerba matte tea and I liked it. I noticed that since there was no milk in it, my stomach felt fine and I was also alert and energized for the rest of the day. Since then I keep a flask full of yerba matte tea with e on work and I stay alert all day long.

 

Sorting out Your Metabolism

Your metabolism is an essential; in fact a vital part of your well-being and ensuring that it remains in tip top shape will benefit you immensely. So many people experience problems with their health due to a ‘misfiring’ metabolism. The number one key to maintaining a healthy metabolic rate is to have a good breakfast at relatively the same time each day. The meal kick starts your metabolism for the day and provides you with a timely boost as well as your initial daily supply of calcium. Any list of calcium rich foods will show a number of milk and cereal products which is why we eat cereal in the morning – usually with milk. If you’re in the habit of eating a good breakfast everyday then your metabolism should be fine, though don’t expect things to be all rosy if you skip other meals. If you neglect your body’s systems, things will go wrong.

 

Some Tips to Stay Healthy

If you ever talk to a real registered dietitian then you’ll know exactly what you should be eating to stay healthy. I recommend making big pastas, currys or soups and taking some to work.

Indian food sometimes uses ghee (clarified butter) but you can make good Indian food with any flavorless oil (ground nut, sunflower etc). Fast food or anything processed with trans fats is the worst thing you can eat. Clarified butter is a lesser evil than trans fats. There is so much salt and sugar in these products it is unbelievable.

I would also get into making really nice salad dressings (expensive olive oil, mustard and vinegar) and getting into the habit of having some greens (broccoli, green beans, mangetout etc) on the side of your meal, too. If you live in an area which is conducive to cycling, you may want to consider getting a bike as a relatively painless and practical way to get some exercise. This is what I’ve always done to stay healthy and it works for me.
