However, when I reviewed this topic, I found that my fruit intake is way more than my vegetable, which means my sugar consumption is out of proportion. Hence I decided to present this article from the website eatright.org. Below are highlights which you might find applicable to your healthy choice of food.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat a variety of foods. Choose foods from each food group every day, and don\u2019t be afraid to try new food.<\/li>\n<li>Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Fruit contains fiber, vitamins and minerals and can satisfy your sweet tooth. Include more non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, asparagus, carrots and broccoli each day. Choose whole fruit rather than juice.<\/li>\n<li>Choose healthy carbohydrates. Eat at least three servings of whole-grain foods each day such as brown rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, whole-wheat breads.<\/li>\n<li>Eat less fat. Choose lean meats, poultry and fish whenever possible. Bake, broil, roast, grill, boil or steam foods instead of frying them.<\/li>\n<li>Cut the salt. Use less salt, more pepper, herbs and seasonings.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid skipping meals. Skipping meals can make you more hungry, moody and unable to focus. Find an eating pattern that is healthy for you.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on your food. Pick one place to sit down and eat at home. Eating while doing other things may lead to eating more than you think.<\/li>\n<li>Watch portions to manage your calorie intake. Portion control is a good habit to follow. Think before you go for a huge plate or second serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I purposely keep it simple this week so that you can review the above tips and at least pick half of what might be helpful to you.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Your homework from the Care Ministry this week: review the list of above and follow at least 2 new tips that you have not tried before.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Love to hear from you: kunlouis@gmail.com<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Sheila Kun RN, BSN, MS, CPN, FCCP When you read the title \u201cEating right with diabetes\u201d, you probably would say: \u201cThere is nothing new.\u201d I would agree that the information is not totally earth shattering.
