Another hiking day for the three of us, my niece and daughter with my doggy Mary and her mom Riyana my daughter’s dog.
Hiking day and walks around Puchberg
👩🍳I’m a type 2 diabetic hiking is also recommended, as it lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases and increases physical and mental well-being. However, diabetes patients should keep an eye on their blood sugar levels when hiking to avoid fluctuations in blood sugar. Sport is important for diabetes patients. Moderate but regular physical activity improves the performance of the heart, the oxygen supply and lowers the blood sugar level. Endurance sports are particularly suitable for people with diabetes mellitus. However, they should not strive for records, but pay attention to their energy reserves. Hiking is a popular sport, in Austria and Germany around 40 million people are active hikers. Diabetics can also practice hiking, as can walking. 👩🍳Thank you so much for dropping by and please like, share and subscribe for more Videos and recipes around the Globe and Eating and Hiking as Medicine on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL.——-Dolly here
Feeling like sorry 😐 for myself since July 25, 2019. The day I tried to be strong but it doesn’t work for me.🥺 I thought I am, until now I’m still fighting. I should always remind myself:
“Don’t let the critics let you down.” ——-unknown
“Choose the hills wisely on which you must do battle.” ——-unknown
Thanks God of reminding me,
He is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore I will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it’s water roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. • Psalm 46:1-3
Slowly but surely my blog helps me out with my struggles. It makes me happy. 😌 Every time I want to post or write something here it eases me.

Today it’s holiday, celebrating the assumption of the blessed virgin Mary. But I’m on duty and take note with normal working hours, eight hours duty. But We had fun at work with my colleagues. Sima brought us today some fruits to share with. She came late at work for one hour and I was telling her up to now she ‘s allowed to come late at work as long as she will bring us something to eat just like today. 😀
Sima’s fruits brought at work today! – iCookiTravel
Fruits such as ripe mango, just like our very own Philippine Mangoes , “yung hinog ang tamis-tamis”! Sa akin yung buto na dalawang piraso, (not in picture). Nectarines, Melon or sugar Melon and Grapes. What a great time to spend breaktime at work with colleagues like her. I’m so fortunate indeed! By the way, Sima is from India, not Austrian but living here in vienna for more than a decade too.
From Internet: “Forget five a day, eat 10 portions of fruit and veg to cut risk of early death.” 😀
I’m always telling you how I love markets; from iconic to local markets, flea markets, farmers markets, street markets as well vintage markets. Here what I got for the last few days from farmers markets. Farmers who came to Vienna to sell their products.
Today I visited again flea market near the airport and I got these plums and nectarines both for only one euro per kilo. Not too sweet but good enough for my shrimps paste (Bagoong alamang) for dipping. Yes! you read it right Folks. I used to eat it with “bagoong alamang guisado”. I’m a Filipina 😀
Plums and Nectarines from Hungarian farmers!
Studies proven that a fresh plum contains 113mg of potassium that helps manage high blood pressure. While nectarines are rich in fiber and vitamin C also low in calories that can be good for diabetics as well. So it will be good for me too, lalo na parehong iniingatan ko ang aking kalusugan. Ugaliing kumain nito na makakatulong sa mga may diabetes at high blood pressure na gaya ko.
My third whole watermelon this summer!
Soon summer is gone, but still lusting for this actually my third whole watermelon on this summer season. Watermelon is not only water but provides high levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and just a small number of calories.
Huge eggplant from farmers market.
You just never know what you#re going to find at the farmers’ market. This past Sunday as I was visiting the flea market outside Vienna, I stumbled to this huge eggplant.
Family of huge eggplants from Flea Market
Unique range of health benefits from eggplant, again manage diabetes, reduce stress and even prevent cancer and more. Hubby grilled this for me I ate with sliced tomatoes and red onions seasoned with shrimp paste (Bagoong guisado) eaten with whole grain bread. No rice for me, since 2013 and if ever just brown rice. Good for watching diabetes and hypertonie.
Cooking with my baby girl, this baby girl is now 23 years of age, I can’t belive time flies and things change.
PECHAY and SHRIMPS, lunch time – iCookiTravel
Hello everyone, today’s lunch at home Pechay with shrimps with lots of crushed garlic. Why lots of crushed garlic? Because if you are watching your health particularly diabetes and hypertonie, like blood pressure can be at least alleviated by the frequent consumption of garlic over a long period of time. So here I used a whole head of crushed garlic, I Love it!
A whole head Garlic for PECHAY and SHRIMPS – iCookiTravel
Pechay, Bok Choy or Chinese Cabbage whatever you want to call it. There are a lot of health benefits that can found in this crunchy, green leafy vegetable. It is now my habit to include it in my weekly menu plan for at least twice a week. Knowing that pechay contains law calories and carbohydrates. In additional it has potassium, a mineral which is responsible for prevention of hypertonie and the regulation of blood pressure. Sounds good ha! So take it away from me Folks specially for those who are suffering from diabetes and hypertonie with matching high cholesterol. Jesus Christ!

Sport groups: Being there is everything. Moving is healthy, movement in the group is healthier – for body and mind.
GYMNASTIC
On the sport field, in the gym just like from photo above during my gymnastic hour with my colleagues, at the ice rink or the swimming pool is not only room for exercise and sports, but also for fun, conversations, friendships and dreams. Beside that we all know just as important as a healthy diet is sufficient movement too. The basis of any treatment of Type 2 diabetes is the improvement of lifestyle in terms of optimization of diet and exercise. So take it away from me Folks 😀
Just as important as a healthy diet is sufficient movement
Diverse effects.
Exercise is important for health. This finding is an all-natural principle. A person has to move has always been to live on, and his whole organism is dependent on physical activity to operate as smoothly as possible. Inadequate exercise leads to regression of physical structures and reduced performance of the various organ systems.
Gymnastic exercises and muscle building workouts are the best help for the musculoskeletal system . Muscles not only support the skeleton and joints , they shall by force transmission to the bone, only that movements are possible at all. They also include the myoglobin protein material which serves as an oxygen reservoir. This is what I do for at least once a week after or before work at Baxter Wellness with my colleagues.
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Good to know specially for those who are suffering from high blood preassure, with high cholesterol and diabetic like me. 😦
Aerobic exercise also lowers important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The blood pressure drops , blood flow is improved, the cholesterol values are changing in favor of the healthier (HDL) – cholesterol, glucose metabolism is affected positively and thus facilitates weight reduction.
The importance of movement reveals itself alone in the fact that the increase in sedentary activities to more and more damage to the spine and the joints leads. Gymnastic exercises promote overall flexibility and extensibility and prevent postural spinal and joint damage. Both exercises and muscle training should be carried out strictly under the supervision of an experienced trainer or therapist. That’s what we have at Baxter Wellness.
The ideal exercise program for the promotion of health is certainly in a combination of endurance sports, gymnastics and weight training with a focus on endurance. Sports as medicine – an activity that is worthwhile. So take it away from me Folks! 😉
