Create a Healthy Nutrition Plan with NewAge for Diabetics

Nutrition for diabetics is simply a healthy diet that helps control blood sugar. Here’s how to get started, from meal planning to carb counting.

Nutrition for diabetics involves eating healthy foods in moderate amounts and adhering to regular meal times.

NewAge products are naturally high in nutrients, low in fat and calories. We can use them to get started: Moa, Giving Greens, Slenderiiz, Omega Q, PureNourish and Power boost. In fact, this nutrition is the best nutrition for everyone.

Why do we need to create a healthy eating plan?

In case of diabetes or prediabetes, doctors usually recommend consulting a nutritionist to create a balanced diet or adapt to the problem. This plan helps control blood sugar (glucose) levels, weight management, and risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and blood lipids.

When we consume an excess of calories and fats, the body creates an unwanted spike in blood sugar. If blood sugar is not controlled, it can lead to serious problems. If blood sugar levels are high (hyperglycemia) and persist, it can lead to long-term complications, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage.

Blood sugar can be controlled through healthy eating choices and habits.

For a type 2 diabetic, losing weight can also help control blood sugar and provide a host of other health benefits. NewAge nutrients give us the ability to control weight naturally, safely and stably.

What does nutrition mean for diabetics?

At Centro Cauce we can help anyone who wants to develop a healthy, balanced diet program adapted to the health goals, tastes and lifestyle of the person. We offer solutions to improve eating habits, such as the choice of necessary foods, doses corresponding to the needs of constitution and activity…

First of all, we need to choose healthy carbohydrates, foods rich in assimilable and non-irritating fiber, fish and good fats.

Healthy carbohydrates

During digestion, sugars (simple carbohydrates) and starches (complex carbohydrates) are broken down into blood glucose. The carbohydrates present in NewAge products are well balanced, of the highest quality and will not destabilize blood sugar levels.

On the other hand, refined carbohydrates should be avoided at all costs such as:

  •  Processed products such as: cookies, cakes, sweets of any kind (custard …), chips …
  •  Refined cereals such as  white rice…
  •  White pasta and bread…
  • Jams and jellies…
  • Refreshments…
  • Alcohol…

NewAge products rich in healthy carbohydrates :

  • Elite 4 g per sachet
  • Giving Greens 3 g per serving
  • Original noni per 60 cl = 9 g
  • Powerboost 6 g per serving
  • Purenourish 1.9 g per serving

Dietary fiber

They are part of a food of plant origin, consisting of complex mixtures of carbohydrates of the cell wall (parietal polysaccharides such as celluloses, hemicelluloses, pectins, lignins) or cytoplasm of plant cells (cytoplasmic polysaccharides, reserve carbohydrates such as gums and mucilages), and which cannot be completely broken down by digestive enzymes.

Fiber is essential for the proper functioning of intestinal transit and for health in general, as it is metabolized by the intestinal microbiota into products that influence all its metabolisms and all its main functions, such as immunity, various liver metabolisms, brain function, trophicity of the intestinal mucosa, satiety, etc.

Dietary fiber consists of non-starchy polysaccharides (starch, starch and dextrin are not dietary fibers, as they are digested by salivary, gastric, intestinal and especially pancreatic amylases) and other plant components such as cellulose, resistant starch, resistant dextrins, inulins, lignins, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans and oligosaccharides.

Daily fiber requirement: 30 g

NewAge products rich in fiber :

  • Giving Greens 2 g per serving
  • Powerboost 2 g of dietary fiber  per serving
  • Purenourish 7.4 g of dietary fiber  per serving

“Good” fats

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help lower cholesterol levels.

Purenourish 1.2 g of polyunsaturated fats and 0.5 g of monounsaturated fats per serving.

Omega Q from NewAge

Omega Q from NewAge contains omega-3 fatty acids which are polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or timnodonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or cervonic acid are of the omega-3 group.

The absorption of omega-3 helps to normalize cholesterol levels. At the same time, to decrease the level of blood triglycerides. But also, to decrease the level of blood pressure as well as the heart rate. Omega 3 also decrease platelet aggregability and has an anti-inflammatory effect…

Coenzyme Q10 is useful in case of :

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Blood pressure
  • Cholesterol
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Muscle weakness
  • Migraines

Foods to avoid in nutrition for diabetics

Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke by accelerating the development of clogged and hardened arteries. Foods that contain the following can defeat the purpose of a heart-healthy diet.

Saturated fats

Avoid high-fat dairy products and animal proteins, such as: butter, beef, hot dogs, sausages, bacon.  Also limit coconut and palm oils.

Trans fats

Avoid trans fats found in processed snacks, baked goods, butter and margarines in sticks.

Cholesterol

Sources of cholesterol include: dairy products and high-fat animal proteins, egg yolks, liver and other organ meats. Try not to ingest more than 200 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per day.

Sodium

Consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day and less when blood pressure is high.

How to put it all together in one place

How to get carbohydrates

Because carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, they have the greatest impact on blood sugar. To help control blood sugar levels, we will use Slenderiiz.

What are the results of nutrition for diabetics?

A healthy diet is the best way to control blood sugar and prevent diabetes-related complications. If we need to lose weight, NewAge’s weight management program helps us achieve this specific goal.
