Our Health

When we think about our health, we really don’t. I am a 53 year female. Although I think about my health, I really don’t. A few months ago, I started having some medical problems. I went to have a physical. My doctor told me I was diabetic.

At first, I was in denial. But that wasn’t the problem. After telling my doctor there was something really wrong with me, she sent me to another doctor who said I was packed and needed a laxative. Knowing that was not the problem, I told him that whatever was wrong with me, it must be in the blood. Because they are doctors, sometimes they don’t listen to you. I was so sick that I literally could not get out of bed most of the time. My feet, knees, elbows, wrists and ankles hurt so bad. I had temperatures to100.6.

Instead of spending money running to the emergency room, I used cold packs and ate ice to bring down my fevers.

Then one day, I woke up where one of my wrists were totally swollen and no use Click To Read More

COLUMN BY ANNETTE SYM – ASIAN COOKING AND DINING

Asian cooking has become common in most Australian kitchens. Stir fries, curries and spicy meals can so easily be made at home now with a variety of pastes and sauces available in our local supermarkets. I recently visited Manly in Sydney and was watching an Asian chef making a dish. He threw in a huge load of oil then as he progressed with his cooking a good amount of salt was added then some coconut cream to finish the dish off. What worries me about eating out is that the people who ordered this dish are probably in ignorant bliss thinking that an Asian stir fry is probably a healthy choice. That particular one the chef was cooking was not. The fat count would have been sky high and the amount of salt would be a worry if that person has either diabetes or high cholesterol.   Cooking from home means you can monitor and control what you use and how the dish is cooked. How I would have cooked that Asian stir-fry would Click To Read More

Diabetic Diet

If you are one of the many people who are affected by any kind of diabetes, you know that you cannot eat just like a normal person does and stay healthy. This doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy great food like everyone else, though!

It is important to consult a doctor or a nutritionist to help you plan out your diet, especially if you have diabetes. There is no “One size fits all” solution, so there is no way you can just read an article and get all the information you need to construct a diet. When you go to a doctor or a nutritionist, they will make you a whole diet, based on your weight, insulin intake, and other requirements. It will be broken down into calories, carbohydrates, protein and fat. This breakdown is called your macros.

Now, there are two main schools of thought about the optimal diet for a person with diabetes. Some say that you should have a diet of about 75% carbohydrates, where others believe that a lower carbohydrate diet, Click To Read More

If you are an obese person seeking to lose weight there is a great chance that you would have come across the south beach diet. The south beach diet is pretty much similar to the Atkins diet; the primary emphasis in the south beach diet is on the proteins rather than carbohydrates. When a person consumes a higher percentage of protein, the body begins to have less response to carbohydrates; which can decrease the weight.

On the Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program the diet focuses on weighing protein consumption (4 ounces twice per day) along with eliminating carbohydrates, sugar and some high fat dairy products. The Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program forces the body to burn fat at an accelerated rate without losing mucle.

The south beach diet is divided into three phases.

After each phases the person can add some carbohydrates to his diet.
