Dear
Friends,
We
at Grass-Diabetes wish you are taking good care of yours and your near &
dear ones.
For
majority of us, health is not in our top of minds when we get up every day
unless we have come across to health’s complicated ways of saying that it the
first most important aspect of our life. We really wish you to stay healthy and
enjoy the life.
So,
how has been your week? I remember, we were supposed to discuss on “Controversy
on Diabetes & Pizza” this week, diabetes or no diabetes it’s indeed a diabet-licious topic. Don’t you think so?
But, I’m going to hold that for a while, because, we Indians we have a much
more important thing to talk about this week - India’s 64th Republic Day!
After
getting republic, India has grown and progressed on various fronts, be it
agriculture, infrastructure development, healthcare research, economic
liberalisation, defence capabilities, education reforms, space exploration, industrial
output and many more. As we are about to celebrate our 64th republic
day, India has witnessed over the years its growth and recognition as one of
the strongest upcoming economy which the world can’t deny, we have everything
to cherish for yet miles to go before we sleep.
The social and political structure of India is witnessing a paradigm
shift which we are witnessing. Our team of diabetes specialists wishes you all
a very happy Republic Day and also wishes to see us all thinking and acting in
the best interest of our country.
When
you think of the best way to contribute, the first step you should consider is
to take care of yours and yours family’s health. The proactive measures are the
best investment you can take for long term health benefits. Consider starting
with an active lifestyle with moderate exercises, good eating habits, selecting
nutrient food, and knowing your current health conditions.
Coming
to our diabet-licious discussion,
“Diabetes & Pizza”, let me start with the fact that the Type 2 diabetes do
gets affected by what food you eat. If you are diabetic, the pizza you eat to
fill your stomach makes your blood sugar take a boat ride like on a stormy sea.
Yes, eating pizza can make your bold sugar go hay wire. Why? Cause, Pizza
contains high saturated fat food which causes insulin resistance, though
temporarily, which in turns slows down the initial blood sugar rise. Since the
high fat content slows down the carbs, the blood sugar doesn’t rises as quickly
as it would have done otherwise, but your insulin has done its work. It’s a chain process which continues for hours
to come. Eating pizza for diabetics needs a lot of involvement about how much
you know about your carb intake. Depending upon your diabetes level, when you
have a less saturated fat food, like say taking one-two slices of pizza, you
don’t have to bother much. Pizza or no pizza, if you take any high saturated
food content you may have to deal with the above boat ride of blood sugar.
Being a diabetic, if you love to follow the ancient lifestyle routine try to
avoid the pizza’s or such high fat food content. Controversy or no controversy,
it’s mostly up to you to totally avoid eating those delicious cheese laden
round-in-a-square-box food :) or eat it in moderation or just say, “heck with
the boundaries”, just don’t forget your insulin.
If
you aren’t diabetic but are afraid to think of diabetes every time you eat a
pizza, just take a quick visit to www.Grass-Diabetes.com, and register to know the
risk of diabetes for yourself, you can also see the age at which you may get
diabetes. Remember, it’s the proactive way of winning from this disease.
So,
at this republic celebrate with India, celebrate your health, probably you can
have some dark chocolates, it could protect you against diabetes.
