Diabetic Health Clinic Newsletter – 28/7/2013

Greetings,

Food, food and food,  it is such a central part of our lives.  Today the availability of food is higher than it ever has been.  Even the so called 3rd world countries which are now in a developing phase have an incredibly high availability of foods.  There is a video on Globesity that you can watch which will highlight the issues at hand.  Although we have a huge availability of foods they are foods which are causing us damage.  Lets have a look at some facts.

1. Most foods today are made in a factory which means that they have been processed, that being the case it means that these foods are full of extracted ingredients and chemicals.

2. Extracted ingredients are derived from plant food.  An example of this is high fructose corn syrup, in corn and in the context of the whole food this substance is safe,  however as extracted high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) it is dangerous, especially for diabetics.

3. Extracted ingredients are mono-nutrients, all of which cause imbalances in the body.

4. Our processed foods, which are put together from these mono-nutrients are known as high energy, low nutrition foods, in other words they pack in a high sugar load.

5. Even foods considered by many as quite healthy produce a big sugar hit. These are foods like pasta, breads, healthy looking breakfast cereals, healthy snacks etc.

6. The safest way to eat is whole foods, as grown, plant based meals.  These are safe for you health and a life saver for diabetics.

 This week we added more recipes.  These are all based on whole foods, as grown meals.  Our kitchen areacontains only meals based on whole foods and there is now plenty of interesting and delicious recipes.
