Carbohydrates have definitely gotten a bad rap, there's no doubt about it. The misconception that carbohydrates are bad, or that they are fattening, prevents people from consuming a properly balanced diet. Carbohydrates are essential for good health. They are the preferred fuel source for your brain and nervous system. The best carbohydrates to include in your diet are unprocessed, high-fiber, and nutrient filled carbohydrates that get digested slowly. These carbohydrates are termed “whole grains.” Whole grains are the key to a healthier life!

And now, a massive new Harvard School of Public Health study shows they can save your heart and your life. The study was featured online, January 2015 in JAMA Internal Medicine. The study compared whole grain intake from the diets of more than 100,000 Americans for 25 years to uncover the whole-grain connection (the correlation between whole grains to the risk of all-causes of death, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality.) The study vanquishes the belief that all carbohydrates are nutritionally evil! They found that whole grain intake was associated with up to 9% lower overall mortality and up to 15% lower cardiovascular disease-related mortality (death from heart disease and strokes.) For each serving of whole grains (28g/day), overall mortality dropped by 5%, and by 9% for cardiovascular disease-related mortality.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been telling us for years to increase our consumption of brown rice, whole wheat bread, high fiber cereals, and other grains like buckwheat, brown rice, barley, bulgur, quinoa, and oatmeal. Now is the time to try branch out and add more whole-grains and even try a new taste – millet, amaranth, spelt, quick cooking farro.

Очень важно после еды сразу подвигаться - быстрая хотьба, попрыгать, потанцевать, любая физическая активность снизит сахар в крови - рекомендация диабетолога. У меня диабет беременных, слежу за питанием и за хлебными единицами, получается, что лоу-карб диет.
Я сейчас делаю тесты сахара в крови до еды и через час после еды и вижу по тестам - попрыгала 10 минут после еды или нет. Разница очевидная.
Еще важно наращивать мышечную массу.
