Diabetes: lower your blood glucose:
The trending obesity epidemic leads to an increase in the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes. This year, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Diabetes Surveillance System reported a prevalence of diagnosed diabetes of approximately 11.3 percent of adults. Among the 37.3 million patients, 28.7 million people are diagnosed with diabetes while 8.5 million are still undiagnosed. Approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes most often develops in people over age 45. However, more and more children, teenagers, and young adults also develop it. So, how can we deal with the emerging trend?
According to the book UnDo it written by Dean Ornish M.D., and Anne Ornish, simple lifestyle changes can reverse most chronic diseases. Type 2 Diabetes is one of them. Nutrition and physical activity are important parts of a healthy lifestyle when you have diabetes. Also, the U.S. News has ranked 40 diets based on inputs from a panel of health experts and identified those that are most effective for people living with diabetes No.1. Is Mediterranean Diet and No 2. Is Flexitarian Diet. These two simple, healthy, and straightforward diets are recommended by the top clinics/hospitals in the US.
Following the principles of the guideline of Mediterranean diet and Flexitarian diet, MenuToHealth combined the features of the Mediterranean Diet and Flexitarian diet, based on Dr Zhu’s professional experiences. For instance, we emphasize some features like:
• DAILY consumption of vegetables, fruits;
• Healthy fat;
• WEEKLY consumption of fish;
• poultry, beans, and eggs.
• Seeds and nuts.
• Special ingredients.
• and NO intake of red meat.
MenuToHealth also takes the advantages of the global diets and benefits of foods to create the unique menus. For example, we added typical Asian foods which will lower the blood sugar into our menus. Meanwhile, we also add more insufficient trace minerals faced by type 2 diabetes patients such as the vitamin C, vitamin D, chromium, zinc, and selenium in addition to decreasing the blood sugar. In summary, the benefits of MenuToHealth meals include weight loss, decreasing risk of Type 2 diabetes, or management of pre-diabetes.
