Sauteed Broccoli and Okra – iCookiTravel

Sauteed Broccoli and Okra with beef meat, ginger, onion and seasoned with beef broth cube and a little bit of salt. Maybe for you it doesn’t look so tempting or appetizing but I tell you it taste so good and for a change it is not that bad. Vegetables are a healthy part of the diet of people who have type 2 diabetes. If you have this condition, you are encouraged to eat okra and broccoli. I often mentioned here about health benefits of okra for Diabetes now Broccoli as well is good for diabetes treatment and control, because of its excellent nutritional qualities. To understand how it benefits diabetics’ health, one must know a bit about diabetes. Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot absorb glucose from the food it digests.

YOU NEED…….

* 1 head of Broccoli
* about 250g Okra
* 250g Beef meat, sliced thinly
* 1 pc. Onion
* a thumbe-sized Ginger, peeled and sliced
* some Canola Oil for Sautying
* 1 pc. beef broth cube
* some salt
* 1/4 cup of water

HOW TO…….

** heat a pan or skewers, add canola oil just enough for sautying meat, onion, ginger, broccoli and okra. Add some water cover and let it cook until meat and veggies done. Seasoned with beef broth cube and to adjust seasoning I use salt. Thats it. Happy cooking and guten appetit!

Dark Chocolate with 70% Cocoa – iCookiTravel

Eating dark chocolate is good for us too my fellow diabetics. It may not taste the same as those sweetened chocolate but according to new study it is healthier for us diabetic. Dark chocolate has low sugar content and doesn’t spite blood sugar the way other sweets and candies do. In moderation of course, is very beneficial. LOL… that’s why I eat dark chocolate!

Ancient New Years tradition says that the more leafy green vegetables you eat, the more prosperity you will experience. Spinach for example is a great source of niacin, zinc, protien, fiber, vitamins A, C, E, and K, thiamine, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Spinach promote healthy hair, skin and nails too.

Oatmeal – iCookiTravel

Today’s breakfast, oatmeal with sliced apple, wild cranberry, cinnamon, yoghurt, and honey.
Oatmeal has a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Oats slimy the digested food in the intestine, making it thicker and therefore delays the absorption of sugar. This can help you lose weight, but also in diabetes, according to a study, Oatmeal are also suitable for protecting people who are at higher risk for diabetes just like me. The food industry now offers many finished products from oatmeal. However, changes with increasing processing the content of nutrients and fiber. Therefore: If someone wants to enjoy the benefits of oats, then he should prefer a little as possible processed source. Oatmeal are always made from whole grains. Whether oatmeal, oat bran or oats does not make much difference. Oats can be easily integrated into everyday life. As muesli for breakfast, as a soup at lunch, as an intermediate trunk or warm porridge in the evening. Good morning, guten appetit! 🙂
