| NUTRIENTS |
BENEFITS |
| Carbohydrates |
They strengthen muscle tissues and store glucose as glycogen in fatty tissues. The carbohydrate energy prevents the body from breaking down muscle tissues for fuel when more energy is needed. They are digested slower, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable. |
| Chromium |
It plays a role in the body's use of energy by providing carbohydrates, protein and fat. Lack of chromium is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes-like symptoms. Chromium causes insulin to function more effectively in the body, which in turn potentiates energy storage and regulates blood glucose. |
| Fiber |
It helps speed up digestion. It also helps to prevent developing heart disease, cancer, kidney stones, and diabetes by controlling the blood sugar levels. It also relieves constipation and hemorrhoids and keeps weight under control. |
| Omega-3 fatty acids |
They lower triglycerides and increases HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), which helps tone down blood pressure. They also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting. |
| Proteins |
It helps build and repair tissues to ensure proper functioning of the body's organs, including the pancreas, which produces insulin. It is also an important building block of blood. |
| Starch |
It helps improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, preventing diabetes. It lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promotes "good" bacteria and suppresses "bad" bacteria and their toxic products, thus, preventing heart disease. It also promotes bowel regularity. |
| Water |
Water has no calories, is low sodium and contains no fat or cholesterol. It is the best supplement for someone with diabetes. |
| Zinc |
It helps regulate and control the blood sugar levels and enhances cell production in the immune system. |

| SUBSTANCES THAT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE BODY |
HARMFUL FOOD |
ADVERSE EFFECTS |
| Cholesterol |
| Meat (liver, heart, other organs) |
| Dairy (milk, cheese, butter, cream, eggs) |
| Seafood (shellfish) |
|
| High cholesterol can also be a predictor of diabetes; elevated cholesterol levels are often seen in people with insulin resistance, even before they have developed full-blown diabetes. |
|
| High sugar |
| Baked Goods (Chocolate bars, frosted cupcakes, pastries, candies, honey, cookies, biscuits) |
|
| This can present the most serious problems for a diabetic and will cause their blood sugar to rise rapidly. |
|
| Saturated fats |
| Meat ((beef, hot dogs, sausage and bacon, red meat) |
| Dairy (cheese, milk, ice cream, butter, cream) |
|
| Too much saturated fat might decrease the pancreas's secretion of insulin. Insufficient insulin might then cause a chain of events leading to overload of sugar in the blood. |
|
| Sodium |
| Meat (chicken, beef, frozen dinners, instant meals) |
| Condiments (salad dressings, chilli sauce, grill spices) |
| Snack Foods (crisps, cookies, canned foods) |
|
| It is very important for diabetics to lower salt-sodium chloride-intake, as all too often diabetes is complicated by high blood pressure, a major cause of both heart disease and stroke. |
|
Trans fats |
| Baked Goods (cookies, biscuits, pop tarts, granolar bars, peanut butter) |
|
| Trans fat is poison to the human body and causes diabetes. It is an artificial human-engineered oil that your body is not designed to handle. Type 2 diabetics have damaged cell membranes that interfere with the transport of glucose from the blood stream into the cell for nourishment. A normal healthy cell membrane has lots of omega-3 fatty acids as a major part of its structure. If you have lots of trans fats and not enough omega-3 in your diet, the trans fats will replace some of the omega-3's. This spells trouble for glucose metabolism and once it gets worse, you will develop diabetes. |
