Healthy Eating

| Friday, March 27, 2009
It is very easy to finish a handful of chips containing 160 calories, but do you know how long does it take for you to burn it? If you really want to slim down by eating healthy, then you should avoid munching junk food now. If not loaded with too much sugar, they are usually loaded with fat! To be healthy, always choose to have fiber-rich, low-fat, and less sugar diets. One can truly possess or enjoy good health by avoiding the following:

- sugars in any form
- cakes of all kinds
- pies and pastries
- chocolates, chewing gums, and candies
- softdrinks and other juice drinks
- honey and molasses or syrups of all kinds
- ice creams
- jams, jellies, and marmalades
- sweetened condensed milk
- catsups, banana or tomato
- chips (potatoes, corn, etc)
- alcoholic beverages (esp. mixed drinks)
- beers, regular or light
- wines, red and white


We have a history of diabetes. I think I already mentioned that before in my previous posts. My father passed away with a diabetic complications, my uncle also suffers from the same sickness, which is, according to his doctor, a lifetime illness. For him to control his blood sugar, I bought some ampalaya capsules and my aunt cooks tortang ampalaya almost always.

In my case, of course, I don't want to be diabetic. Nobody wants to get that condition, so I am asking same old question to myself: How can I be healthier?

I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or GDM last year and my doctor told me that there is a possibility for me to get the same disease in the future if I can't control my diet and exercise to maintain a normal blood sugar level. I used to be very slim, though. Not anorexic, but just very slim, until my late years in college. I only gained weight when I started working. After giving birth to my adorable Aşkım, I just want to be in a healthy shape through proper diet and exercise. I learned eating according to my blood type, balancing my diet, and watching my calorie intake though.
