July 7: The Glycemic Index and Busting Myths
We have all heard that white bread is bad and whole-wheat bread is better, but do you know why? You may have also heard that people with diabetes should avoid pasta and fruit. That nutrition myth and others will be explored. By learning a few simple rules, you’ll be an expert in choosing foods that will hold your blood sugar levels steady and give you the nutrition you need for good health. Learn to prepare some dishes that are energizing and that will never leave you with a blood-sugar spike and crash after your meal.
July 14: Keeping a Healthy Heart
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in people who have diabetes. Fortunately, the same change in diet that has been shown to be so effective in turning diabetes around also helps to protect the heart, quite dramatically. Dean Ornish, MD, was among the first to show that a change in lifestyle could be as effective as and much safer than bypass surgery for those with significant heart disease. There is no time like the present to eat to live. Fortunately, food that is good for you does not have to taste like medicine. In this class, you’ll sample cholesterol-free foods that are full of flavor and health-promoting benefits.
July 21: Diabetes Care from Head to Toe
By improving blood sugar levels, you can protect yourself from your eyes to your feet, and everywhere in between. Review the steps that are important every day, every few months, and once a year to take good care of yourself. Sample some easy dishes that are simple to prepare at home but look and taste like you fussed quite a bit. We won’t tell.
July 28: Making it Work for You
Sticking with a new way of eating can take some planning. In this class, we’ll consider occasions that have the potential to present challenges, whether it is eating at work, during the holidays, or while traveling. Foods that you make ahead of time that travel well, and/or that are good dishes for a potluck will be featured by your instructor. Participate in a “graduation” by bringing a dish for your fellow attendees to sample.
