Health Note November is American Diabetes Month This year s theme for American Diabetes Month is Eat Well, America!sm The key message being shared is that eating well is one of life s greatest pleasures, and enjoying delicious, healthy food can help in managing diabetes. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. According to the American Diabetes Association, one in 11 Americans have diabetes, and another 86 million adults are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can cause devastating effects such as blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other serious health problems if it s not controlled. The good news is that people who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes such as eating healthy, increasing physical activity, and losing weight. Eating well to maintain a healthy weight is one of the most important things one can do to lower the risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It can seem hard to make healthy food choices, particularly if you are on a budget and short on time. Here are a few simple tips you can use to help you and your family eat healthier: 1. Set aside some time to plan your weekly meals. You might want to start with just a few days. 2. Stock your pantry with plenty of healthy basics, including brown rice, whole grain pasta, crackers and cereals. 3. Remember that fresh fruits and vegetables are usually healthier than canned or frozen, but it is better to have canned or frozen fruits or vegetables than none at all! 4. Buy leaner meats (such as chicken, turkey and lean cuts of pork or beef such as sirloin or chuck roast) and lower fat dairy products (like low-fat or skim milk and yogurt). 5. Buy whole grain breads and cereals. 6. Save money by buying less soda, sweets and chips or other snack foods.

Su nota de Salud Noviembre es el Mes Americano de La Diabetes El tema de este año del Mes Americano de la Diabetes es!come bien, Estados Unidos!sm El mensaje clave que se está compartiendo es que el comer bien es uno de los más grandes placeres de la vida y disfrutar comida deliciosa y saludable puede ayudar a controlar la diabetes. La diabetes es una de las causas principales de discapacidad y muerte en los Estados Unidos. De acuerdo a La Asociación Americana de la Diabetes, uno de cada 11 Americanos tienen diabetes, y otros 86 millones de adultos tienen un alto riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2. La diabetes puede causar efectos devastadores como la ceguera, daño a los nervios, enfermedad de los riñones, y otros problemas de salud serios, si no se controla. Las buenas noticias son que las personas que tienen alto riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2 pueden disminuir el riesgo por más de la mitad si hacen cambios saludables tales como comer saludable, aumentar la actividad física y perder peso. Comer bien para mantener un peso saludablemente es una de las cosas más importantes que podemos hacer para disminuir el riesgo de la diabetes tipo 2 y las enfermedades del corazón. Quizá le parezca difícil escoger alimentos sanos, particularmente si tiene un presupuesto limitado y poco tiempo. Aquí hay algunas sugerencias que le ayudarán a usted y su familia a comer más sano. 1. Dese tiempo para planear las comidas de la semana. Quizá puede comenzar con unos pocos días. 2. Llene la alacena con muchos alimentos básicos saludables, entre ellos arroz integral, junto con fideos, galletas y cereales de grano integral. 3. Recuerde que por lo general, las frutas y vegetales frescos son más sanos que los enlatados o congelados, pero es mejor tener frutas y vegetales enlatados o congelados, que no tenerlos! 4. Compre carnes con menos grasa (como pollo, pavo y cortes magros de cerdo o res como solomillo o filete de aguja) y productos lácteos con poco contenido de grasa (como leche y yogur descremado o con poco contenido de grasa). 5. Compre panes y cereales de grano integral. 6. Ahorre dinero comprando menos bebidas gaseosas, dulces y chips u otros bocadillos.
