Here's an interesting article on managing blood sugar levels with a healthy diet. There is lots of advice on carbs fibre the DASH diet and balancing carbs with activity.
I do like how they are encouraging healthy eating options and making the diet more interesting.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The DASH diet can help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol and other fats in your blood. It can help lower your risk for heart attack and stroke and help you lose weight. This diet is low in sodium (salt) and rich in nutrients.
The Mediterranean-style diet has fewer meats and carbohydrates than a typical American diet. It also has more plant-based foods and monounsaturated (good) fat. People who live in Italy, Spain, and other countries in the Mediterranean region have eaten this way for centuries.
Following the Mediterranean diet may lead to more stable blood sugar, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and a lower risk for heart disease and other health problems.
This is very helpful and useful information. I saw a Dietitian years ago and they taught me how to do the carb counting which I did when I was 13 years old. Thank you for posting this!ππ
