<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
February 2019 Edition of Today's Dietitian shared some interesting details about Sapodillas and Jackfruit. Though they may not be as common in the market compared to banana or oranges, these fruit are still worth a try. I enjoy sapodillas but I have not had the pleasure to sample a jackfruit. </div>

Diabetes is a serious lifestyle disease where <b>blood sugars are always high </b>because the body cannot change the carbohydrates in food into energy for the cells. <u><b>Type II </b></u><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(</span></b><u><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">TII) </span></b></u><u><b>diabetes</b></u> was called an old person disease but due to changes in the way children and teenagers live their life and poor food choices they are getting the condition.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3lfStNb3zF7CCv-xAqCstfAdetbq4Wbr1sLjoN8k08P_97_Tl_9NhGGXeoQLLNtdjC9Wq1khCgklMLWD-ARNUk8Uaj-tKBawYDCBR2o9U1cBXNpKXzeeHjH9v_Pk1EHvt0iTZCejBJKnO/s1600/diabetes5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3lfStNb3zF7CCv-xAqCstfAdetbq4Wbr1sLjoN8k08P_97_Tl_9NhGGXeoQLLNtdjC9Wq1khCgklMLWD-ARNUk8Uaj-tKBawYDCBR2o9U1cBXNpKXzeeHjH9v_Pk1EHvt0iTZCejBJKnO/s320/diabetes5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Some signs of diabetes are dry mouth, itchy groin, urinating a lot and rapid weight loss without trying. Being fat or fluffy, doing little exercising, playing computer games all day long, and eating the wrong foods everyday are the major causes of diabetes type II in teenagers.
If left alone diabetes type II would damage all organs in the body, this would not be good for any young person.<br />
<br />
<br />
Therefore, eating healthy meals, nutritious local fruits and veggies and doing regular exercise are very important to controlling diabetes.
Here are some things a diabetic <b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(</span></b><u><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">TII)</span> </b></u> teenager can do help manage their condition:<br />
<br />
1. Eat a healthy breakfast filled with fresh fruit, oatmeal, or healthy cereal, egg whites or fish and low-fat milk or yoghurt.<br />
<br />
2. Eat 3 to 4 balanced meals (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner) to keep blood sugar normal<br />
<br />
3. Have fun and enjoy sport activities (cricket, aerobics, football, basketball, swimming, etc.) with family and friends.<br />
<br />
4. Give up salty snacks, sugary drinks, carbonated beverages, fried foods and fast foods.<br />
<br />
5. Lose 10 to 20 pounds if fat. Too much fat in the body makes it hard to keep blood sugar levels normal .<br />
<br />
6. Drink more water since it is refreshing and visit the doctor regularly.<br />
<br />
<b>FOOD MYTH</b>: Fruits are bad for diabetics because they are packed with sugar.<br />
<br />
<b>FOOD FACT:</b> Yes, all fruits have natural sugar. Once fruits are eaten in small portions (roughly 1 medium fruit) at time and not by the bucket, they will not disturb the blood sugar levels of a type II diabetic. However, fruits coated with sugar or soaked in in heavy syrup should be avoided.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>①</b> <b>Indulge in Milk Alternatives</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nutrition-wise, not all <a href="http://thehealthnutcorner.blogspot.com/2012/07/commercial-non-dairy-milk-substitutes.html">non-dairy milk alternatives</a> are created equally. Calcium-fortified soy milk often comes out on top due to, its nutrient-profile being similar to milk. Given the controversy surrounding soy consumption, the second best milk would be fortified hemp milk. If neither of these interest you, your other option is to forgo the milk alternatives. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Reason being, options such as almond, rice, coconut and 7-grain milks contain little protein, and often laden with water. Nevertheless, read the ingredient list, compare prices and the Nutrition Facts to help select beverages that provide ample amounts of calcium, protein, vitamin D and B12 per serving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice is a fruity way to meet calcium and vitamin D </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">needs. It is essential to choose an orange juice that contains both vitamin D and calcium because vitamin D is required for the body absorb calcium.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As such, always choose unsweetened or 100% fortified orange juice (no-sugar added) and limit consumption to 6 fl.oz for children and 8 fl. oz for adults in a sitting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here are some brands to look out for <a href="http://www.tropicana.com/#/trop_products/productsLanding.swf?TropicanaPurePremium/22">T<span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #333333; line-height: 25.6px;">ropicana Pure Premium</span></a><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #333333; line-height: 25.6px;"> ,<a href="http://www.floridasnatural.com/our-juices/orange-juice-plus-calcium-with-added-vitamin-d.php"> Florida' Natural Orange Juice</a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fortified cereals are a great way to get the micro-nutrients normally present in dairy</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> since most can</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> be eaten dry as a mid-morning snack or mid-afternoon snack. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Seeing, that this category of food can be hidden sources of added sugar and sodium.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All grains start out as a whole-grain containing the bran, endosperm and germ <span style="font-size: x-small;">(see whole-grain image above)</span>. Due to processing, the bran and germ parts are often removed, resulting in the whole-grain becoming a processed or refined grain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The primary issue with this is that, at leas<a href="http://www.health-foodie.com/2010/02/how-healthy-are-whole-grains-really/">t 60%</a> of the nutrients in grains are found within the bran and germ. Nutrients such as zinc, vitamin E, phosphors, potassium, thiamine, folate amongst others. Non-nutrient fibre is also found. When these two parts are removed, the nutrient value of the grain is reduced and can lead to nutritional problems when the overall diet is unbalanced. </span><br />

You get sick less often. You grow and become strong. If you give your body poor fuel, it won’t work as well. You might have less energy or get sick more often.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Insoluble fibre </b>is also commonly referred to as 'roughage'. Once consumed, insoluble fibre moves through the stomach, small intestines and large intestines intact and untouched. e.g. Think about when cooked or raw spinach is consumed. This type of fibre, helps add bulk to stools and improve the strength of the muscles lining the intestines.</span></span></i><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Recommendations:</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>(1)</b> Increase fibre intake slowly but gradually, this gives the colon time to adjust to influx of fibre.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> and increase the amount of water consumed in the day. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>(2) </b>Water, is absorbed by the colon as such make stools softer and easier to move; thus reducing risk of constipation.</i></span><br />
