24.01.2022 Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency can be fairly common, so the next time you see your doctor, ask for a test to check your levels. Research linking vitamin D and type 2 diabetes indicates numerous benefits that may include: >Improved blood sugar regulation... >Improved insulin resistance >Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress >Improved metabolic function >Decreased risk of heart disease Plus, it helps support your body in other ways too.
23.01.2022 Research shows that a HbA1c of 6%, which is considered "normal" level, provides the best protection against diabetes complications. 7% is good, 6% is even better if you can achieve that over time.
23.01.2022 Try adding a couple tablespoons apple cider vinegar to your daily routine. Not only does it directly benefit diabetes health, it also boost digestion and encourages healthy gut bacteria. Dilute it in water before drinking.
22.01.2022 How much water are you drinking? Aim for 1.5 litres a day, or about 8 glasses. If you don't like plain water, add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime.... Another idea is to boil up a fruity herbal tea blend and refrigerate it - makes a great refreshing drink while you still get your quota of (almost) water!
22.01.2022 Avocado is an extremely healthy food. It's full of heart healthy monounsaturated fat, is low in carbs, contains a ton of fibre, and a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
22.01.2022 You've probably heard of the terms 'insulin' and 'insulin resistance' but you may not know what role insulin really plays and why this is so important. As you can see in the image, insulin acts as a key to unlock cells in the muscles and liver so that glucose can enter, removing it from the bloodstream so glucose levels become lower. If we become insulin resistant, insulin has difficulties unlocking the cells, so the glucose can't enter the cells, which means glucose levels... remain higher. This can promotes more insulin to be released, but it doesn't help, it only makes the cells become more resistant. You can lower blood sugar and insulin by eating a carb-controlled diet. Regular exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity so the insulin key works better.
22.01.2022 Herbal teas can provide many health boosting benefits.
22.01.2022 Research has shown eating an average 56g nuts each day may help reduce HbA1c levels and fasting glucose levels, plus they have shown many other health-boosting benefits too - even a small dose each day of these nutrient dense superfoods is something to be enjoyed. Nuts don't have to be eaten plain. For something different, replacing meats with nuts in a stir fry or salad is a great and easy way to get more of them. Natural nut butters are fine too.
22.01.2022 Sleep is absolutely essential to healthy bodily function for brain function, mental alertness and focus, mood stability, healing and repair of blood vessels, immune function, and hormonal regulation which is the most important factor a person living with type 2 diabetes. Aim for 8 hours of sleep each day. If you can improve your sleep quality even a small amount it will help improve your health!
18.01.2022 The quality of the food you eat is very important to how your body functions. Cut out as much processed and packaged food as you possibly can and head to the fresh food sections of the grocery store. In the fresh food section you’ll find foods that are ‘nutrient dense,’ which means foods that contain more vitamins, minerals and nutrients that can help optimise your health.... Nutrient dense real foods include foods such as dairy products, seafood and fish, meat, eggs, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables.
17.01.2022 Add a small handful of nuts to your daily menu. Research shows nuts: > contain heart healthy fats that may reduce risk of heart disease > May improve insulin sensitivity... > May assist with blood sugar regulation > May reduce inflammation > Help regulate your appetite Nuts are low in carbohydrate but contain fibre, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and valuable polyphenols. What great little nutrition-rich packages they are!
16.01.2022 A barbecue is a great way to entertain people, and eat delicious food that is healthy too. Skewers of all kinds can be created with your favourite marinated proteins, packed with veggies and BBQ to perfection. Serve on their own or with a side salad for a very satisfying meal.
15.01.2022 Including a range of fresh or dried herbs in your meals not only adds flavour and aroma, it adds an abundance of health benefits too!

12.01.2022 Salads can be made in all kinds of ways - take this one as an example, it looks simple but it's so flavoursome.

09.01.2022 It can be surprising to see the difference in carbs in a category of foods. Take baked beans as an example, for 1/4 can they range from 6.4g carbs to 16.6g! Here's the break down (carbs per 1/4 can): SPC 6.4g... Coles Smart Buy 7.9g Woolworths generic brand 8.4g Heinz 9.7g Coles generic brand 11.8g Woolworths Macro brand 13.9g Watties 16.6g Always check out the labels for the best options. :)
06.01.2022 There are substitutes and alternatives for all high carb foods. Cauliflower mash works just as well but instantly slashes the carbs!
06.01.2022 If you're looking for a lower carb alternative for a wrap, try using lettuce leaves. Iceberg or large cos leaves work the best! Lay them out on foil, then load up and wrap. :)
06.01.2022 Coffee contains health-boosting antioxidant properties that have been shown to decrease triglycerides, promote liver function, reduce cognitive decline, and increase metabolic rate. Coffee is a suitable drink as long as it's not loaded with added sugars. If you need a sweetener, try something like natvia sweetener (a stevia/erythritol blend), or monkfruit sweetener. Also be aware, coffee can raise blood glucose in some people.
