BOOK EXCERPT
Diabetes Diet
The diabetic diet is a very important aspect of natural diabetes treatment since the diabetic foods can aid blood sugar regulation. Dietary modifications that you can institute to complement your conventional diabetes mellitus treatment include:

1. Begin your day with a high fiber breakfast cereal as it is an excellent source of water soluble fiber which reduces the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed and thus maintains steadier blood sugar levels. Increase the benefits of your breakfast by adding a cup of chopped fruit to your cereal.

2. Increase your intake of beans as they are rich in water soluble fiber which reduces the rate at which the blood glucose rises after meals. This helps with the stabilization of blood glucose levels throughout the day. They are also filling and thus valuable when trying to limit your calorie intake.

3. Increase your intake of vegetables to 5 servings each day as they are rich in nutrients and fiber which reduces the rapid rise in blood sugar levels after a meal. Vegetables are also filing, low in fat and calories and thus help one lose excess weight. Note that 1 serving is I cup of raw or ½ cup of cooked vegetables.

4. Increase your intake of magnesium which may help achieve better blood sugar control by eating ample spinach and broccoli every day.

5. Increase your chromium intake as it may be beneficial in blood sugar regulation by eating cheese, meat, brown rice and other whole grains.

Health Tip - Understanding Diabetes and Glycemic Index (eBook Health Tips Guide)- Learning to eat carbohydrates that have a lower glycemic index is one ... having a more nutritionally balanced diet Review

For the person who has had trouble with weight in the past, the switch to low glycemic index carbohydrates will be a welcome change. Often people eat either because they need energy or because they feel they are hungry, but the way these carbohydrates work in the body will help with both of those issues and thus a person can eat less, maintain a high energy level, and feel full longer between meals. It will take a little time to become used to the transition, but once you learn new eating habits, you will not want to return to your old way of eating.
