Food That People Above 45 Should Eat And Avoid by kingchris30(m): 2:08am On Apr 13, 2018
What we eat as human being matters a lot. As a matter of fact our health is partially dependent on what we eat and how we eat.
For Instance Diabetes is a disease that is so much sensitive on what we take as our diet. And if we are to control it we need to watch what we eat. Below are some basic things about our diet that we need to take note of.
• Avoid products made from refined wheat flours.
• Eat as much salad as possible, but without rich, creamy, high-fat salad dressing.
• Fruits can be taken as recommended by dietitian; avoid juices.
• Consume fruits a couple hours before or after meals.
• Prefer oats porridge along with milk in breakfast.
• In case you cannot have coffee/tea/milk without sugar, substitute it with honey.
• Avoid whole milk, egg yolk, red meats, and high-fat foods.
• Prefer skimmed milk, egg whites, de-skinned chicken.
• Avoid visible fats like ghee, oil, butter in your daily diet.
• Include anti-diabetes foods in your diet, like bitter gourd, string beans, onion, garlic, cucumber, etc.
• Restrict intake of meat and salt in your diet. It will help control body weight and diabetes.
• No restriction on soy and fish for patients suffering from diabetes.
• Avoid white bread, potatoes, sweets, rice, and sugary foods.
• Exercise on a regular basis. It keeps the person fit and assists in controlling diabetes. Jogging, brisk walking, swimming, or light exercising can be beneficial.
• Never walk bare feet as it can result in injury, which might take ages to heal.
• Never miss meal after insulin or oral hypoglycemic drug.
• Unless recommended by your physician, do not alter the dosage of your anti-diabetes medication.
• Make a fixed-time schedule for your meals, and try not to deviate from it, if possible.
• Avoid rich, starchy, oily food as it is difficult to digest.
• Do not consume heavy meals. Instead, distribute your meals in smaller courses across the day.
• Try not to take stress, it will worsen the situation.
• Check blood glucose levels frequently.
We should try as much as possible to be sure of anything we do or eat. We can always talk to our doctor, friends or people that can help. We all want a healthy life and that why we are creating all these awareness.
Thank you for your time.

WHY YOU NEED TO EAT AVOCADOS
lets see some of the health benefit of this wonderful fruit and why every man and woman need it. Avocados have been called "America`s new favorite fruit." Turns out, avocados are popular for good reason. Not only are they delicious, they`re packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can help keep you healthy.

Better Than a Banana

Your body needs potassium to work normally. For example, the mineral helps keep your heartbeat steady. Most people think of bananas when they think of this nutrient. But ounce for ounce, avocados have more.

Protect Your Eyes

Avocados have lutein and zeaxanthin, which absorb light waves that can harm your vision. People who eat lots of foods rich in these antioxidants are less likely to have age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. Most of an avocado`s antioxidants are found in the darker green flesh that`s closest to the peel.

Help You Lose Weight

A half-cup of guacamole has about 6 grams, almost 1/4, of your daily fiber needs. Fiber helps you feel full, so you`re less likely to overeat. And although avocados are high in fat, it`s mainly healthy monounsaturated fat. Research has found that this type of fat in your diet can help trim your waistline. Instead of chicken salad with mayo, try chickpeas with mashed avocado.

Boost Your Mood

In a cup of avocado slices, you`ll get about 118 micrograms of folate, which is almost a third of what most adults need daily. People who don`t get enough of this B vitamin could be more prone to depression -- and less likely to respond well to antidepressants. Folate also plays a role in preventing birth defects, so expectant and new mothers are encouraged to get more.

Power You Up

These green gems are packed with a variety of other B vitamins, too, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), and niacin (B3). These help your body convert the food you eat into energy. Avocados are especially rich in niacin, which can fight inflammation in the body and protect your arteries by improving cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Good for Your Heart

Speaking of your blood vessels, the American Heart Association recommends that the majority of the fat you eat be unsaturated, like you`ll find in avocados, rather than the saturated fats in foods like red meats and whole-milk dairy foods. Early research now shows that avocados in particular can also help lower "bad" cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure.

Save Your Brain

Avocados give you a good dose of vitamin E, which may help protect against Alzheimer`s disease and slow decline in your memory and thinking skills. This may have to do with vitamin E`s antioxidant properties -- it can help fight cell damage caused over time by things like pollution and radiation from the sun.

Strengthen Bones

On average, people eat half an avocado at a time. That gives an adult 15% of their daily vitamin K needs. This nutrient may help improve bone density and prevent fractures. Toss avocado pieces into a spinach salad with salmon, tuna, or egg for even more vitamin K along with vitamin D, another nutrient that`s essential for bone health.

Healthy Blood Sugar

Because they`re low in carbs and sugar and high in healthy fat and fiber, avocados check all the boxes as far as being friendly for someone with diabetes. If you don`t have it now but are worried about the future, here`s some good news: Eating a plant-based diet (that includes avocados) could drop your chance of developing type 2 diabetes by about 20%, according to a Harvard study that tracked 200,000 people for 20 years.

Skin Care

Whether you eat it or make it into a mask, avocado is great for your skin. Its antioxidants, like vitamin C, can help keep your skin looking youthful by smoothing out wrinkles. And the same nutrients that protect your eyes also protect your skin from UV damage. Avocado paste may help wound healing, so you could slather it on a sunburn.

Fight Cancer

Avocados have oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (also found in olive oil and nuts) that can slash the odds of breast cancer, according to a study of more than 4,000 women. And a compound in avocados called avocatin B can kill leukemia cells, according to a lab study. Scientists are even looking into whether the papery husks that surround avocado pits have anything helpful.

Improves Prostate

Beta-sitosterol, a kind of plant sterol, may help relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate. (It`s part of the family of phytonutrients that help block your body from absorbing "bad" LDL cholesterol.) Avocados have more than four times as much beta-sitosterol as oranges, the next richest fruit source.

Team Player

Certain nutrients -- like vitamins A, D, E, and K, and the antioxidant lycopene -- are fat-soluble, which means your body will absorb more of them when you eat them along with some fat. Enter the avocado, which just so happens to taste delicious with tomatoes. Try it with pink grapefruit, watermelon, or cantaloupe, too.

Thank you for time

Some Myths and Facts about Type 2 Diabetes

Myth 1: Kids don’t get type 2 diabetes

Facts: Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult-onset diabetes. But you can get it at any age. Doctors are seeing more kids who have it.

Myth 2: You can prevent it

Facts: This disease doesn't start suddenly. Some people are first diagnosed with prediabetes (also called impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose). Lifestyle changes like weight loss, eating a healthier diet, and getting more exercise can often ward off full-blown diabetes. If you're at high risk, taking supplements is of wonderful help. But you have to be willing to make lifestyle changes, too.

Myth 3: Lifestyle changes can cut your diabetes risk

Facts: In a recent study, people at high risk for type 2 diabetes were put on a weight loss and physical activity plan for 3 years. Researchers found it lowered their chances of getting the disease by 58%. The news was even better for people age 60 or older their odds went down by 71%.

Myth 4: This drink this can make you less likely to get diabetes

Facts: People who often enjoy a cup of coffee may be less likely to get type 2 diabetes than those who don't. Experts say the benefit isn't related to caffeine, but to other things in coffee -- like antioxidants or magnesium and chromium. They all help your body use insulin. Still, no studies have proven that drinking it prevents the disease.

Myth 5: Some factors make you more likely to get type 2 diabetes

Facts: High-sugar or high-salt diets are only risk factors if they lead to obesity. Others include age, family history, inactivity, and ethnicity -- people of African, Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Latino heritage have a higher risk. But even having one or more of the risk factors doesn’t mean you’ll get the disease.

Myth 6: people with diabetes always have symptoms

Facts: Almost a third of people with diabetes (not just type 2 diabetes) don't know they have it.

Myth 7: Diabetes cause other health complications

Facts: Over time, high blood sugar can cause eye problems and blindness, heart disease, nerve and blood vessel damage, kidney disease, and other major health problems. There's no evidence that diabetes causes prostate cancer or arthritis. But depression is twice as common among people with diabetes as everyone else. But it's not clear which comes first, or that one causes the other. High blood pressure is often a complication of diabetes. People who have it are also more likely to get gum disease.

Myth 8: There is no symptom

Fact: People with high blood sugar are often extremely thirsty. Other symptoms include dry mouth, being hungry more (especially after you eat), peeing more, fatigue, blurred vision, and headaches. Type 2 diabetes can also cause itching, numbness, and tingling in your hands and feet. You may notice that wounds heal more slowly than they used to. You could gain weight without knowing why, get frequent yeast infections, and have sexual problems.

Myth 9: People who have it can’t eat sweets

Facts: Good news! Dessert is not off the menu. You do need to watch your weight and eat a healthy, balanced diet. But you can have sweets in moderation, and as part of a healthy meal plan.

Myth 10: Diabetes can kill

Facts: Type 2 diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. It accounts for 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of heart disease. If you have it, your overall death risk is about twice that of people your age who don’t.

Myth 11: The cause of diabetes is too much sugar

Facts: Insulin is a hormone that helps your body turn sugar into energy. When you have type 2 diabetes, your cells don't respond to it like they should. This is called insulin resistance. When it happens, sugar backs up in your blood. Your pancreas makes even more insulin to get rid of the sugar. So you wind up with too much of both.

Thank you for you time, have a lovely week.
