THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND The conventional medical system in our industrialized world – with special reference to the U.S. – is most advanced in history. Honored with 9 out of 10 Nobel Prizes in medicine.

Let’s focus on 5 of those, as follows. Healthy diet In line with the basics of Mediterranean diet, the American Diabetic Association (ADA), in line with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and scientifically supported by the * University of Granada in Granada & the * Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute in Barcelona (both Spain) recommends nutritious consumption of, inter alia, - whole grains like brown rice/oatmeal/whole grain bread/ whole-wheat or legume pasta/wild rice/cornmeal/barley/oatmeal/amaranth/millet/100% whole grain-whole wheat flour/quinoa - fruits with special reference to apples/oranges/cherries/apricots pears/peaches/grapefruit, etc. - vegetables such as broccoli/Brussel sprouts/cauliflower/green beans/red-yellow-orange peppers/squash/onions/asparagus/salad greens - olive oil - fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids like non-fried salmon/lake trout - nuts & seeds (unsalted) - legumes like peas/beans/ black beans/white beans/lentils/chickpeas/kidney beans/pinto beans - dairy such as cottage cheese/ricotta/Parmesan/plain yogurt/low fat or fat free Greek yogurt/skimmed or low-fat milk - low fat fish - lean meat such as sirloin/white meat from chicken/turkey - protein-rich food like eggs/tuna/tofu/tempeh/skinless-boneless chicken breasts or strips/white fish filets/tofu/tempeh/sardines/skinless turkey breast …to control blood sugar. Vice-versa, (pre-)diabetics may refrain from following foods. Inter alia, - processed and fatty meats, such as bacon, hot dogs, and fatty cuts of beef and pork - salty foods - saturated fat like foods containing coconut oil or palm oil - partially hydrogenated and trans fat foods like shortening/ hard margarine/microwave popcorn/frozen pizzas,/desserts/ coffee creamer - sweet food additives like high fructose corn syrup/dextrose/maltose/fructose/sucrose - sugary foods and beverages like candy/cakes/jelly/honey/sodas/sweet tea/fruit drinks/concentrated fruit juices Healthy diet has also the benefit of weight management which plays a major role in cases of diabetes.
