March is National Nutrition Month by the Academy o

March is National Nutrition Month by the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics (The American equivalent of the @bda_dietitians ). They’re slogan is “Eat Right Bite by Bite” and they set out a four week plan to support everyone in making informed food choices, and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
😁Why not try one of these challenges this week to see if you can boost your nutrition & health…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1️⃣Challenge 1: High-five!⁣🖐⁣
See how many portions of fruit & veg you’re having. Getting your 5-a-day? In the UK, we know that on average we only tend to get about 2 to 3 portions of our 5-a-day… much lower that the recommended 5 portions. That’s a lot of goodness being missed! As a loose guide, a portion is small handful of dried fruit, a comfortable handful of fresh, tinned or frozen fruit, or a generous handful of veg/ salad/ beans/ lentils/ pulses. And sorry… potatoes/ plantain/ cassava etc. don’t count. Please be aware that people with type 2 Diabetes may choose to opt for more vegetable/ salad options. Other health conditions may make you opt for other specific choices).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2️⃣Challenge 2: Hi Hydration!⁣🥤⁣
See how much you drink for a day. Are you reaching your 6-8 cups, or 2 litres of sugar-free fluid a day? Is it spread throughout the day, or bunched up? Keep track for one day & see what’s going on. Dehydration could be the reason for that afternoon energy slump, that post-work headache, or those post-dinner munchies. Please be aware that this may not apply if you are on fluid restriction for health reasons.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3️⃣Challenge 3: Step it up!⁣🚶⁣
See how many steps you’re doing for one day. Are you reaching your recommended 10,000 steps per day as part of a healthy lifestyle? Tracking steps is an objective way (i.e. not influenced by our emotions, thoughts, feelings etc.) of seeing if we do this. You can use a pedometer, a wrist device or your phone (just make sure you keep it in your pocket the whole day!)⁣⁣

⁣ After a long chat about food labels and clever

⁣
After a long chat about food labels and clever marketing in clinic last week, we’re sure that this person was not alone in being confused.⁣ ⁣
🍪 Sugar free biscuits? Sounds great but let’s have a closer look:⁣ ⁣
🍪 McVities Dark Chocolate Digestive:⁣
83kcal per biscuit, 24% fat, 13% saturated fat, 61% carbs, 27% sugar⁣ ⁣
🍪 Gullon Sugar Free Dark Choc Digestive:⁣
61kcal per biscuit, 21% fat, 7% saturated fat, 63% carbs, 0% sugar⁣ ⁣
🍪 The Gullon biscuit is also almost 20% smaller than a standard biscuit (one of the reasons for lower calories) but apart from sugar they’re nutritionally really similar.⁣ ⁣
🍪 If you’re someone with any type of diabetes then you need to also be looking at carbohydrates on a food label, both for carbohydrate counting and for impact on blood glucose. Although the sugar free biscuits are very low in sugar they’re still going to affect your blood glucose levels, to pretty much the same extent as the normal biscuit.⁣ ⁣
🍪 I’ve got no idea what the sugar free biscuit tastes like but considering both of these aren’t exactly health foods then my suggestion would be to enjoy a standard biscuit every now and then…⁣

🍝 Apart from thinking about where to get your pasta, hand sanitizer and toilet roll from, if you're someone living with diabetes this an important time to know your sick day rules.⁣
