The spinning sensation and dizziness you get from vertigo can limit your activities…
A diabetes diet is based on eating three meals a day at regular times. This helps your body better use the insulin it produces or gets through a medication.
A registered dietitian can help you put together a diet based on your health goals, tastes and lifestyle. He or she can also talk with you about how to improve your eating habits, for example, by choosing portion sizes that suit the needs for your size and level of activity.
Make your calories count with these nutritious foods:
Avoid fried fish and fish with high levels of mercury, such as tilefish, swordfish and king mackerel.
Diabetes increases your risk of heart disease and stroke by accelerating the development of clogged and hardened arteries. Foods containing the following can work against your goal of a heart-healthy diet.
Highly processed grains. Eat grains that are as minimally processed as possible, such as brown rice or unconventional whole grains like bulgur, millet, farro, and wheat berries.
White potatoes. Healthier alternatives include sweet potatoes, whole-grain pasta, or a whole-grain dish like tabbouleh.
Added sugar. Caloric sweeteners like white table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are moderately high on the glycemic index but are independently associated with obesity and heart disease. And it’s not just sugary desserts you need to consider. Off-the-shelf breads, peanut butter, tomato sauce, and innumerable other processed food items contain added sugar.
