During our summer vacation it turned out that my father has type 2 diabetes, which requires a balanced diet in order to manage the blood sugar level.
ReplyDeleteHe enjoys a variety of dishes, but the diet is mostly based on nutrient-dense foods, like fruits (apple, berries), vegetables( cucumbers, spinach), whole grains (oats, brown rice), nuts, protein-rich foods (chicken, seafood). Unfortunately he needs to avoid some foods entirely, such as high fat meats, sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, milk or cheese.

My friend had a gastrointestinal diseas, so he had a fat-restricted diet.
ReplyDeleteThis diet limits you the intake of fatty food such as margarine, mayonnaise, dressings, oils and gravies. The diet usually includes whole wheat breads, lean cuts of meat, skim milk, low-fat cheese products, eggs, vegetables, and other food items prepared without extra fat.

Three years ago I started having problems with my skin. After many tests, I found out that I have streptoccocus bacteria due a poorly treated ear infection. Because of this bacterium I got a lot of acnee on my face. The doctor prescribed a strict diet. I couldn't eat dairy products, sugary products,chocolate,gluten free products, fatty foods. Now I have just a sugar free diet and I don't eat products with cacoa.

Five years ago my aunt has diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She was in the hospital for like a week, beacuse her state was not that great. After she got all the pills accommodate to her illnes, she got a special diet from a nutritionist. For example she was not allowed to eat sugar, candies, desserts, which contain sugar, or other ingredients, that increase the blood sugar level quickly. She also should to measure her blood sugar level 5 times a day.
