Prawns such a great choice for diabetes?

Most fish and seafood is low in unhealthy saturated fats, trans fat and cholesterol. The fat that it contains is mostly healthy, unsaturated fat.Seafood is a natural source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.It’s packed with high-quality protein and does not have any carbohydrate, so it will not cause blood glucose to rise.

Meal Idea  

Can make a prawn salad with natural bee honey. Mix some light canned tuna with a bit of canola mayonnaise, lemon juice, freshly ground pepper and diced celery. Serve your salad on whole wheat crackers or as a sandwich on whole wheat bread. Add some mustard, sliced tomato, and crunchy lettuce for extra flavor and texture. Have it for lunch with an apple or mango and some carrot sticks with hummus.

         

Recipe 

Ingredients

• 1 (4-pound)  salt
• 24 unpeeled jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soya sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 5-10 curry leaves 
• 1 teaspoon bee honey

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°. Pour salt in an even layer in a shallow roasting pan or large cast-iron skillet. Place pan in oven at 400° for 30 minutes or until salt is very hot. Arrange shrimp in a single layer over salt. Cover with foil; bake at 400° for 5 minutes or until shrimp are done. Combine the rind and remaining ingredients; serve sauce with shrimp.

Hint

Experts said that the following three toxic substances are more worthy of attention to

First, some toxic substances are naturally existed in the food such as puffer fish meat. Second, the toxic substances naturally exist in some food but people have found a way to detoxify them, such as the bee honey and soya, which can be detoxified through thorough heating. Third it mainly includes the pollutants especially the biological contaminants.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise us to eat more seafood by replacing of some of the meat and poultry in our diets with a variety of fish and shellfish. Try to include a variety of seafood in your diet, and shoot for 2 or more servings per week. 

Sugar and Brain

Sugar cravings that strike after a meal may be due to serotonin, a feel-good brain chemical that’s associated with an elevated mood. 

Eating a sugary dessert causes serotonin levels to rise in the brain, which can make you feel calmer and happier.

There are basic physical reasons why we crave something sweet after a meal. Something sweet afterwards is the body’s way of trying to create balance. Eating salty food makes us feel like we “have to have” something sweet or we won’t feel at good.

For many people, eating dessert after meals is a habit. Rather than a physiological sugar craving, the desire occurs simply because you’re used to ending your meal with a sweet. It’s something you want versus something your body actually needs. Unbalanced meals that lead to an uneven blood-sugar level may also be to blame. For example, a meal comprised primarily of refined starchy foods that are quickly digested (e.g. white bread, white rice, refined cereals) will cause your blood sugar (glucose) to spike after eating. Soon after eating, this glucose soar is followed by a drop, causing you to crave sugar.

Finish your meal with a nutritious sweet dessert. Try a baked apple with dried cherries and maple syrup, homemade rice pudding or stewed fruit or honey mixed sugar free foods. Eat balanced meals. Add slowly digested, or low-glycemic index, carbohydrate foods to meals to help keep your blood-sugar level stable after eating. Low GI foods include 100-per-cent stone-ground bread, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato, new potatoes, legumes and most types of fruit. To suppress appetite longer after meals, include a source of protein at breakfast, lunch and dinner such as egg whites, Greek yogurt, poultry, fish, lean meat, tofu and legumes.

සූර්ය ශක්තිය ලබමින් ස්වාභාවික ශක්තින් හා එක්ව වැඩෙන ආහාර නිරෝගී බව වඩවයි.රෝග අහුරයි.ආයු වඩයි.

The main difference between organic and conventional food products are of course the chemicals involved during production and processing. The conventional food production practices involve the use of a number of chemicals which have a devastating effect on the environment and food products have dubious effects on human health. the sun gives heat and energy to the plants, enabling the plants to make their own food. Then as animals eat plants, they gain the energy from the sun indirectly and the plants' energy directly. 

Strict avoidance of all chemicals in all stages of production makes organic food much more environmentally friendly because the use of all natural production methods eliminates the risk of soil and underwater contamination, and helps preserve biodiversity and wildlife both of which have been seriously affected by the human actions, primarily urbanization and intensive agriculture.

Paying attention to the body's natural rhythms is probably more important to our health than we realize. It's not just eat and sleep deprivation that affects our well-being, but it's also the alteration of our biological rhythms that can interfere with so many body functions, making us more prone to health problems like infection, mood problems and even heart disease. Living organisms evolved an internal biological clock, called the circadian rhythm, to help their bodies adapt to the daily cycle of day and night (light and dark) as the Earth rotates every 24 hours.

Plants use their circadian clocks to detect the length of days. When their clocks sense shorter fall days, they signal the plant to produce seeds and drop their leaves. When the clocks sense longer days in the spring, the plants grow flowers or fruit. Biological clocks also help plants prepare for sunrise by raising their leaves and getting ready to perform photosynthesis to convert sunlight into food. And internal clocks play a role in the opening and closing of leaf pores and the nighttime folding of leaves to prevent water loss.

Pure Honey with Garlic and Dates

Health Benefits of Honey 

1. Prevent cancer and heart disease: Honey contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.

2. Reduce ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders. Recent research shows that honey treatment may help disorders such as ulcers and bacterial gastroenteritis. This may be related to the 3rd benefit…

3. Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-fungal: “All honey is antibacterial, because the bees add an enzyme that makes hydrogen peroxide,” said Peter Molan, director of the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand.

4. Increase athletic performance. Ancient Olympic athletes would eat honey and dried figs to enhance their performance. This has now been verified with modern studies, showing that it is superior in maintaining glycogen levels and improving recovery time than other sweeteners.

5. Reduce cough and throat irritation: Honey helps with coughs, particularly buckwheat honey. In a study of 110 children, a single dose of buckwheat honey was just as effective as a single dose of de xtromethorphan in relieving nocturnal cough and allowing proper sleep.

Health Benefits of Dates

1. The massive health benefits of dates have made them one of the best ingredients for muscle development. People consume dates in several ways, such as mixing the paste of the dates with milk, yogurt or with bread or butter to make them even more delicious. The paste is beneficial for both adults and children, especially during a time of recovery from injury or illness.

Health Benefits of Garlic

1. Garlic may help improve your iron metabolism. That's because the diallyl sulfides in garlic can help increase production of a protein called ferroportin. (Ferroportin is a protein that runs across the cell membrane, and it forms a passageway that allows stored iron to leave the cells and become available where it is needed.)
