Healthy Foods

Hi folks. I am here to talk about the law in eating healthy foods. This is my research from health books that you have to eat nutritious food composing one-thirds protein, two-thirds carbohydrates and a small amount of oil.

Good sources of protein are skinless chicken, turkey, fish, lean meat, egg whites, low-fat dairy products and tofu.

You get good carbohydrates from vegetables and fruits while grains, pasta, cereals, potatoes, corn, carrots, banana and raisins are not so good because they have a high insulin effect.

Good fat is mono-unsaturated. You find this in olive oil, nuts and omega 3 fats from fish and fish oil.
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).

My understanding is high insulin means you have low blood sugar and low insulin is high blood sugar. You have to maintain to balance the insulin (or blood sugar) to have a healthy diet so we check on the symptoms:

The symptoms for high blood sugar are the need for frequent urination, drowsiness, nausea, extreme hunger or thirst, and blurring of the vision.

For low blood sugar the symptoms are shaking, fast heartbeat, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, extreme hunger, weakness and tiredness, and irritability.

So the symptoms are basically the same. I dunno because these symptoms are also seen in other diseases. When you are feeling unwell is you have a problem. Check first if it is emotional problem. When you sure it is not an emotional problem then check your food diet.

I guess when you feel weak and tired is you have to eat more good carbohydrates and protein and when you feel the need for frequent urination is you have to eat more good carbohydrates and protein.

I think it is better go to the doctor for expert advice.


I like Pesto but you need healthy oil so you need to use olive oil. 

Basic ingredients:
1. Herb - basil, spinach, kale, garlic scores, parsley, cilantro, arugula
2. Nut - pine, almond, walnut, pecan, macadamia
3. Garlic - vary the amounts
4. Cheese - parmesan, romano, asiago and other hard cheese
5. Olive oil

Directions:
Blend ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped. 

Uses:
Toss pasta with pesto and veggies like tomatoes, broccoli and artichokes, stir teaspoonful into hot soup before serving, spread thin layer into french bread for snacks or melt over fish and steamed vegetables.
