Health Hint – Fruit and Fiber
Now you just KNOW that I am always aware of healthy tidbits regarding our lives but now with a much keener eye to the health of a diabetic, since Carter has been diagnosed with Diabetes. Our goal is to maintain his health without insulin so that means diet. It has never been truer that “we are what we eat”.
FRUIT: Did you know that one cup of strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange? They are also an excellent source of fiber, which helps your body maintain normal blood sugar levels.
And on the FIBER note … that is something many of us do not eat enough of each day. In order to keep toxins moving through our colon the average adult needs to eat 25-30 grams of fiber daily. Whole fresh fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of fiber. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet?
