What’s in Season: Bell Peppers

Are bell peppers spicy? Bell peppers aren’t spicy, as they don’t produce capsaicin, the chemical that causes the burning sensation in your mouth when eating jalapeños or other spicy peppers. Green bell peppers are unripe red bell peppers and are less sweet. Red bell peppers are produced by allowing green peppers to ripen on the vine. Nutritional Benefits of Bell Peppers One cup of green bell pepper has just thirty calories, seven grams of carbohydrate, and almost three grams of fiber. The low carbohydrate count makes green bell peppers a great choice for those who have diabetes and need to

What’s in Season: Strawberries

Nutritional Benefits of Strawberries One handful of strawberries has just 30 calories and two grams of gut-healthy fiber. They’re a good source of potassium, manganese, and vitamin C, which is great for the immune system and tissue repair in the body.

Are You a Meal Kit Candidate?

What to Expect From a Meal Kit Unlike meal delivery services, meal kit companies are like your virtual sous chef. Depending on the company, they deliver a box filled with all the components of a meal, ready for you to put together according to their recipe. For people who like the idea of home-cooked meals but don’t have the time or energy to do the shopping or meal planning—or have little experience preparing meals—having all the ingredients delivered in a box and ready to put together can be a valuable service. For those with type 2 diabetes, it can offer additional benefits, according to

The Diabetic Dessert Dilemma

So, where does dessert fall into a healthy diet? Dessert is an indulgence, a part of the pleasure of a day. But the person with diabetes must plan for it, understanding that it’s all about moderation and portion control—and they’re not necessarily the same thing. Moderation includes portion control, but it also means being discriminating in what you eat. In the context of dessert, it could mean looking for sweets that are mostly made with real fruit or dark chocolate. It means seeking out desserts that are airy—made with lots of egg whites, like angel food cake and sponge cake—which cuts down

How to Keep the Crunch in Your Life

But even as you eat less of these fatty, salty foods, there’s good news. Changing your diet doesn’t have to lead to a crunch-less snack time. Here are some suggestions for great substitutions: Popcorn. Who doesn’t love popcorn? Surprise, it’s actually healthy for you (whole grain and all) and it’s a good source of fiber. Because of the volume, it’s also low in carbs. Just 15 grams in three cups. Choose air-popped popcorn to avoid the fat and limit fatty, salty toppings. Enjoy, but avoid excessive portion sizes. And try some non-fat toppings, like chili powder, cinnamon, curry powder, or dried

What’s in Season: Sweet Potatoes

Nutritional Benefits of Sweet Potatoes One cup of sweet potatoes contains six grams of fiber, and over 700% the daily value of vitamin A. They’re also a great source of vitamin C, manganese, B6, and potassium. Sweet potatoes are also rich in antioxidants, which protect the body from free radicals. Excess free radicals in the body can lead to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and premature aging. Eating more foods rich in antioxidants, like sweet potatoes, can help reduce the risk of chronic disease and inflammation in the body. The fiber in sweet potatoes can help keep the digestive

The Best Cereal for People with Diabetes

Hot vs. Cold Cereals Most cold cereals are filled with refined grains and sugars, scarce nutrients, preservatives, and lots of empty calories and carbohydrates (carbs). And you’re no doubt going to want to eat more than the suggested portion amount on the nutrition label. Hot cereal, like oatmeal made with rolled or steel-cut oats or other whole grains, are high in fiber and have a low glycemic index (GI). This means that these carbs are digested and absorbed more slowly, thus they create a smaller incremental rise and fall in blood glucose (blood sugar). For those who are trying to better

What’s in Season: Spinach

Why You Should Be Eating Spinach Spinach is full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. But it’s also rich in oxalate, which can cause kidney stones in people who are at risk, so consult your doctor about including spinach in your diet. Dark, leafy greens, like spinach, are beneficial for our hair, skin, and bone health. Spinach can also help with blood glucose (blood sugar) management in those with diabetes. It’s a good source of vitamin C, plant-based iron, potassium, and magnesium. To better absorb the iron from spinach, pair it with a food high in vitamin C, such as strawberries or bell peppers

How to Make Winter Comfort Foods Healthier

Strategies to Make Comfort Food Healthier There are a few strategies for doing this: substituting ingredients, reducing the quantity of unhealthy ones, and changing the cooking technique. Let’s talk about soup. There may be no food as comforting as thick creamy soups, with their cream, butter, and cheeses. Ways to make soup healthier: Substitute olive oil for the butter when sautéing the ingredients. Use light whipping cream or milk to replace the half-and-half that thickens the soup. If the recipe calls for cheese, choose a low-fat variety or simply reduce by a third or a quarter the amount
