Diabetes is a kind of disease that affects the way your body handles glucose (sugar.) We have two types: Type 1 and Type 2. In Ghana, the foods that we eat are virtually the same each and every day. It's either rice which comes in different forms such as waakye, omotuo or rice porridge. The carbohydrate foods are basically yam, cassava and bread.

In a person with diabetes, there are very important food nutrients and components needed such as:

Calcium, Potassium, Fiber, Magnesium and Vitamins

These can be gotten from

Green Leafy Vegetables such as Kontomire
Fruits such as oranges, mango, water melon
Tomatoes
Beans
Fish (especially salmon)
Limit alcohol intake
Limit drinks or foods with added sugar
Hope these help. Thank you.

FOOD SUPPLEMENTS ••

** HIDDEN RISKS IN SUPPLEMENTS**

~ Now that nutritional supplements have become big business,many pharmaceutical companies have jumped on the bandwagon and are manufacturing multivitamins ,omega- 3 fats( fish oils pills) and many others that are sold in huge quantities at healthy food stores, discounted stores and supermarkets.

~ But many companies are more concerned about their profits than your health, and they choose the cheapest option rather than the healthiest one. The evidence is in the PILLS themselves.

******Taking supplements can appear like a quick fix solution but it just doesn't replace a healthy balanced diet.NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SUBSTITUTE FOR HEALTHY BALANCED DIET...By enjoying a variety of foods which provide energy ,protein,fibre,Vitamins and other natural ingredients in addition to minerals,a healthy balanced diet have greatest beneficial effects on health that supplements can not fulfill.

~ Indeed there can be potential health consequences of taking too much of these food supplements.

~ Most mass- produced nutritional supplements contain poor quality synthetic nutrients, which are not nearly as healthy for you as are natural nutrients and may,infact,be harmful. These man- made multivitamin and minerals supplements are usually made from mineral salts,which are poorly absorbed by your body and therefore vastly less effective but very expensive.

~The manufacturers seem to believe that they can standardize ,process, and manufacture vitamins in the same way they manufacture prescription drugs,which, indeed ,not a natural process. The result is an inferior quality supplements- and usually toxic excipients( fillers) that you didn't expect to make it into your daily tablets.

~ Some big pharmaceutical companies even use ingredients such as toxic partially hydrogenated soybean oil as fillers for their soft gels containing fish oils,Vitamin E and others.

~The companies might also add artificial colours, which may have been extracted from coal tar,and put them in their tablets and capsules.and many people may have some sensitivity to these chemicals, so in these cases,the supplements are having a dual effect,causing unhealthy side effects while it delivers inferior vitamins and minerals.The larger the tablet,typically the more binding agents and fillers they contain..

**** Beware of these food supplements.
