FRUITY NUTRITION FOR DIABETIC SENIORS BY HOME CARE ASSISTANCE FORT MYERS

ONE OF THE TOP MOST CAUSES OF DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES IS DIABETES. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE RIGHT KIND OF FOODS WHICH ARE HIGH IN NUTRIENTS AND LOW IN GLYCEMIA TO PREVENT OR CURE DIABETES. FRUITS ARE A RICH SOURCE OF LOW-GLYCEMIC FOOD. WHETHER FROZEN OR FRESH, FRUITS ARE PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS AND CAN ALSO SATISFY THE SWEET CRAVINGS. IT IS BEST TO AVOID CANNED FRUIT OR OPT FOR THE ONE WHICH DOESN’T CONTAIN ADDED SUGAR.

FRESH FRUIT: AS ADVISED BY HOME CARE EXPERTS AT HOME CARE ASSISTANCE, THE DIABETIC FRIENDLY DIET CONTAINS 3-4 PORTIONS OF FRUITS DAILY. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO INCLUDE THESE 4 PORTIONS OF FRUIT IN YOUR SENIOR LOVED ONE’S DIET PLAN. THESE FRUITS CAN BE CONSUMED IN THE ORIGINAL FORM OR THEY CAN ALSO BE USED IN SMOOTHIES AND LOW-FAT MILKSHAKES. HERE IS A LIST OF SOME FRUITS AND WHY THEY ARE SO EFFECTIVE FOR DIABETES.

BERRIES: BERRIES ARE AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF FIBER AND ANTIOXIDANTS THAT ARE EXTREMELY NUTRITIOUS FOR THE SENIORS. THESE NUTRIENTS CONTROL THE BLOOD SUGAR AND HELP BOOST THE NATURAL INSULIN IN THE BODY. BLUEBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, IN FACT, ANY BERRY IS GOOD FOR DIABETES. CHERRIES: CHERRIES, ESPECIALLY TART CHERRIES ARE NOT ONLY GOOD FOR CONTROLLING BLOOD SUGAR; THEY ARE ALSO GOOD FOR HEART AND OVERALL HEALTH OF YOUR LOVED ONE. CHERRIES AND CHERRY JUICE ALSO HELP IN MAINTAINING BETTER SLEEPING PATTERNS. A HANDFUL OF CHERRIES OR A CUP OF CHERRY JUICE WOULD DEFINITELY HELP YOUR ELDERLY LOVED ONE TO SLEEP MORE FITFULLY. CHERRIES CAN ALSO HELP PREVENT SOME CANCERS.

PEACHES: PEACHES CONTAIN VITAMIN A AND C. RICH IN POTASSIUM AND FIBER, THIS FRUIT SHOULD BE CONSUMED ONCE A DAY. APRICOTS: DIABETIC SENIORS SHOULD EAT APRICOTS FOR OBTAINING VITAMIN A AND FIBER. APRICOTS ARE A VERY DELICIOUS WAY OF SATISFYING THEIR SWEET TOOTH AS WELL. ORANGES: ONE ORANGE IS BALANCED ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A DAY’S VITAMIN C. IT IS ALSO GREAT FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AS IT LOWERS THE BLOOD PRESSURE. ORANGES ARE HEART HEALTHY FRUIT AS WELL. PEARS: RICH IN VITAMIN K AND FIBER, PEARS ARE GREAT FOR A DIABETIC MEAL PLAN AND THE OVERALL HEALTH AS WELL. KIWI: ANOTHER YUMMY OPTION FOR VITAMINS, FIBER, AND POTASSIUM. IF YOUR ELDERLY LOVED ONE HAS A MORE SAVORY TASTE THAN THE TANGY TASTE OF KIWI WILL DEFINITELY WIN THEIR HEART. ENSURE THAT, YOU OR A CAREGIVER AT HOME CARE INCLUDE SOME FRESH KIWIS IN THEIR DIET.
