Greetings from ortho clinic, a diabetic diet in india is similar to a healthy balanced diet recommended for individuals with diabetes worldwide. The key principles of a diabetic diet involve managing carbohydrate intake, incorporating a variety of foods, controlling portion sizes, and promoting regular physical activity. Here are some general guidelines for a diabetic diet in india: 1. Carbohydrate management: - opt for complex carbohydrates such as whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat, millets), legumes, and vegetables. - limit the intake of refined carbohydrates like white rice, white bread, sugary drinks, and sweets. - monitor the quantity of carbohydrates consumed and distribute them evenly throughout the day. 2. Portion control: - control portion sizes to maintain a healthy weight and manage blood sugar levels. - use measuring cups, spoons, or a food scale to accurately measure portions. - include a variety of foods from different food groups to ensure a balanced diet. 3. Emphasize fiber-rich foods: - consume high-fiber foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. - fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels, improves digestion, and provides a feeling of fullness. 4. Healthy fat choices: - choose healthier sources of fats like nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish (such as salmon) rich in omega-3 fatty acids. - limit saturated fats found in red meat, full-fat dairy products, and fried foods. 5. Include lean proteins: - include lean protein sources such as skinless chicken, turkey, fish, low-fat dairy products, tofu, and legumes. - protein helps in building and repairing tissues, and it doesn't significantly impact blood sugar levels. 6. Limit added sugars and sugary drinks: - minimize the consumption of sugary foods, desserts, sweets, and beverages. - opt for naturally sweet foods like fruits and limit the intake of fruit juices. 7. Regular physical activity: - engage in regular exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or any activity recommended by your healthcare provider. - physical activity helps in improving insulin sensitivity and managing blood sugar levels. It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and it's advisable to work with a registered dietitian or a healthcare professional to create a personalized diabetic diet plan based on your specific needs, preferences, and any other health conditions you may have. They can provide you with detailed guidance and help you make appropriate dietary adjustments. Please contact whats app mobile for free dietary reversal for diabetes.

keep the skin lubricated or moisturized. Use ointment (such as petroleum jelly), cream, or lotion 2 to 3 times a day. Moisturizers should be free of alcohol, scents, dyes, fragrances, or chemicals you know you are allergic to. Having a humidifier in the home may also help. Moisturizers and emollients work best when they are applied to skin that is wet or damp. These products soften the skin and help it retain moisture. After washing or bathing, pat the skin dry and then apply the moisturizer right away. Different types of emollients or moisturizers may be used at different times of the day. For the most part, you can apply these substances as often as you need to keep your skin soft. Avoid anything that you observe makes your symptoms worse. These may include: foods, such as eggs in a very young child. Always discuss with your health care provider first. Wool, and other scratchy fabrics. Use smooth, textured clothing and bedding, such as cotton. Sweating. Be careful not to over dress during warmer weather. Strong soaps or detergents, as well as chemicals and solvents. Sudden changes in body temperature and stress, which may cause sweating and worsen your condition. Triggers that cause allergy symptoms. When washing or bathing: bathe less often and keep water contact as brief as possible. Short, cooler baths are better than long, hot baths. Use gentle skin care cleansers rather than traditional soaps. Use these products only on your face, underarms, genital areas, hands, and feet, or to remove visible dirt. Do not scrub or dry the skin too hard or for too long. After bathing, it is important to apply lubricating cream, lotion, or ointment on the skin while it is damp. This will help trap moisture in the skin. The rash itself, as well as the scratching, often causes breaks in the skin and may lead to infection. Keep an eye out for redness, warmth, swelling, or other signs of infection.
