Cooking with Type ii Diabetes: Exposing the Common Myths

Maintaining a healthy diet is vital to our general health and wellbeing. Eating the right foods help us combat illness, reduce stress, and provide assistance to prevent serious disease. However, for those with type 2 diabetes, making healthy food choices can be both frustrating and confusing. Because diabetes type II is a serious disease, debunking the next myths may actually help to save the lives of numerous.

Myth 1: Diabetes is due to consuming too much sugar.
Though the cause is not totally understood, diabetes is considered to be the result of genetics and lifestyle factors. With diabetes, the body is unable to properly convert food into glucose, which uses insulin to provide the cells with energy. Being overweight can make type II diabetes more likely to occur.

Myth 2: Diabetics can't eat sweets.
Consuming a piece of cake will not cause a medical emergency. Although sugars might be empty calories and cause weight gain if eaten in considerable amounts, when eaten in moderation, sweets can be a part of a healthy diet, especially when joined with exercise.

Myth 3: Diabetics must consume special diabetic foods.
A balanced and healthy diet for those with type II diabetes is quite similar to a healthy diet for anyone - limit the fats, use salt and sugar moderately, and consume wholegrain foods. Lean protein, vegetable, and fruit also help complete a balanced diet. Many foods marketed as "diabetic" foods still usually raise glucose levels in the blood.

Myth 4: Carbohydrates are dangerous for diabetics.
Starches are a significant part of a balanced diet. Carbs may have a significant effect on blood glucose levels, so they should be consumed in moderation. Carbs contain essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so eradicating them from the diet is not a healthy idea.

Myth 5: Fruit might be consumed freely because it's healthy and natural.
Although fruit is chocked filled with nutrients, consuming too much of it, especially simultaneously can prove problematic. Also, dried fruits like dates may be high in fat and full of calories. Fruits like these should only be eaten sparingly.

Now that the myths concerning the diet for those with type II diabetes have been exposed, diabetics and non-diabetics alike can make wise decisions regarding food. Combined with proper medical care and exercise, food can continue to certainly be a necessary tool to maintain our bodies healthy.
