What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition when the pancreas in the human body fails to produce insulin. Incidentally, insulin is the hormone that converts the sugar in the food into energy. Insufficient secretion of insulin by pancreas results in excess glucose level in the bloodstream, resulting in diabetes. The blood glucose is required to be used up to provide energy and fuel to the body, in order to do its work. If the level of glucose is high, it eventually affects the body parts. A person suffering from diabetes portrays symptoms, which could be fatigue, hazy vision, excessive thirst, weight loss and an increase in appetite.

Why is it caused?

Causes of Diabetes Overweight, Stress, Genetic factors, Lack of exercise. Food or diet plays a significant role in the life of a diabetic. Selective, healthy food with adequate intake of fruits and vegetables along with regular exercise helps to keep diabetes in control.

Essentials of a Diabetic Diet

The diabetic diet has to be used wisely in combination with insulin doses or with oral hypoglycemic drugs.
The main objective of diabetic diet is to maintain the ideal body weight, by providing adequate nutrition and also regulating the blood sugar levels within the normal range. 
The diet plan for a diabetic is based on the body’s BMI, age, sex, physical activity and type of diabetes. While planning the diet certain complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels are taken into consideration. Based on the above criteria the dietician will assess the total daily calorie intake. 

As such there is no common diabetic diet plan that will work for everyone. Nor is there any particular diet plan that works perfectly for a diabetic for a long duration. Changes have to be made periodically depending on various aspects. While planning the diet for a diabetic we should consider certain important factors, like: 

• Fiber intake should at least be 40 gm/day (1.4 oz / day)
• Small frequent meals (5 to 6) are to be planned.
• Whole grain and high fibre foods should be encouraged over refined foods, sweets and fried foods and bakery products, Carbohydrates should be avoided 2 hours before bedtime.
• More of fresh fruit and vegetables should be eaten

A diabetic should have food that is high in nutrition and low in calories.

The 1800 calorie diabetic diet plan is helpful to people with diabetes mellitus. During the entire day, the total calorie intake should be 1500-1800 calories– 60% carbohydrate, 20% fat and 20% proteins. If you are on calorie-restricted diet, make sure to take 50-60% of calories as complex carbohydrate (whole cereals).
Glucose is a sugar released from carbohydrates so, in order to control the blood sugar levels the consumption of simple carbohydrates should be limited.
Also with consumption of simple carbs there is sudden rise in the insulin levels. Immediate peaking of insulin, over a period of time leads to increase in fat mass and other long standing disease conditions.

As whole grains, fruits and vegetables are in rich in fibre, a diabetic diet should majorly comprise of above food groups.

Health Benefits of a High Fiber Diet

Why opt for a high fibre diet?

Fibre is a very key component to any healthy eating plan and or diet, also known in language terms as “roughage” it is responsible for general overall health, without fibre in your diet you may end up with poor digestion, stomach problems, and other ailments.
Fibre is a carbohydrate which we are unable to break down quickly in our stomachs; this serves the purpose of pushing food more quickly through our digestive tract and eliminating waste far more effectively. Otherwise undigested food can reside in your stomach and will just sit and rot inside your stomach releasing toxins into your body.

How it helps to lose weight

This type of food takes longer to chew in your mouth so you won’t eat as much, when fibre reaches your stomach it acts like a sponge soaking up water, also it takes longer to break down than most other foods, this will give you a feeling of satisfaction and fullness, for a longer period of time this will help conquer cravings. A lot of fibre contains very few calories.

What are the health benefits?

Because of the very effective elimination characteristics of it, it can help prevent such diseases as bowel cancer, piles, stop constipation which quite a lot of people suffer with, improve overall digestion, in less civilised countries where their diets are high in fibre they tend to have less diseases than their western counterparts have.

Fibre tends to be very low in fat but can help prevent cardiovascular disease which is brought on by hardening of the arteries when fat consumption is high in your diet. Fibre tends to be a good source of vitamins and minerals which is essential for correct body functioning, and also helps prevent cravings.

How much am I supposed to eat?

The recommended guidelines are that you’re supposed to eat between 10 to 25 g of fibre per day I dare say that most of us don’t come anywhere near this figure, just recently in a tabloid newspaper it was quoted that Britons still don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables in their diet.

Studies around fiber

Fibre can be very good for your heart several studies in various countries have shown that eating a high fibre diet is a significant player, in lowering bad cholesterol the sort of fibre known as the soluble type has cholesterol-lowering properties.
The particular countries where the studies were done, their rate of coronary heart disease was a lot lower than those countries that ate less fiber.

The two types of fiber

The two types of fibre are insoluble and soluble
Soluble fibre tends to bind itself to cholesterol molecules and flushes it out of your body if there is any present think of it as a sponge soaking up all the bad cholesterol in your body.

Insoluble fiber on the other hand serves a different purpose this is purely for pushing food through your body very quickly, and keeping your digestive system functioning correctly this will help and stop problems, such as stomach cancers, bowel cancers and also stop you from being constipated as well.

Are there any problems with a high fibre diet?

Not really know although some people do say that when they changeover to a higher fibre diet it can cause them to suffer from flatulence, but based on mine and a lot of other people’s experiences, this tends to be a short-term thing rather than rather than a long-term thing. So as we can see there are more pros and hardly any cons to having a nutritious high fibre diet. So get eating those high fibre fruit and vegetables.
