Make conscious choices and eat healthy to stay fit

People with diabetes know that their diet should be limited and selective. After all, keeping diabetes under control is in your hands. You need to avoid sugar and processed foods and load your meals with healthy alternatives. After medication, only your diet and lifestyle can help you control this condition.

What happens when you are diabetic? Basically, diabetes occurs when your blood sugar or blood sugar level is too high. So, you need to take the help of foods and make dietary changes that help you avoid blood sugar spikes in the body. Right? To understand the importance of proper diet and lifestyle in diabetes management, nutritionist Nmami Agarwal shared a video on Instagram.

In the caption, she wrote, “Diabetes management: how diet can help control sugar levels in the body!”

In the video, she explains, “Excessive thirst, frequent urination, a sore that won’t heal, among other things, are all signs of high blood sugar. There are times when you have tried all the drugs, but your sugar level is high. During such occasions, have you ever tried proper diet and lifestyle management?

Now, do you wonder how diet can help when medication can’t?

Nmami says, “Your body doesn’t get sugar just from added sugar. In fact, your body gets sugar from every food you eat, including dal, roti, and sabzi. Basically, the end product is glucose/sugar.

She says you need to understand the science and identify what to have when and how to avoid glucose spikes. It is therefore obvious that drugs alone are not enough!

The nutritionist says that consulting an expert and getting advice on diet and lifestyle will help. You will see the change in yourself very quickly once you start focusing on your diet and thus making the necessary lifestyle changes.

Nmami Agarwal often shares health and diet tips on social media. She lists five foods you must include in your diet during the current winter season. Pinni, she says, is a must because this traditional Punjabi delicacy is rich in iron and magnesium. Moreover, it keeps your body warm. You must savor the gajak as it is prepared with sesame seeds. Gajak is loaded with calcium and b-complex vitamins. Ghee is another superfood that you must use to make winter treats at home. Also, regularly include ghee in your meals. Also eat seasonal vegetables and they will help you stay healthy.

Make conscious choices and eat healthy to stay fit.
