Meat and Diabetes

There is a definite link between meat and diabetes and consuming large quantities of red and processed meats can cause diabetes 2:

As there are more calories and fat in red meat than plant food and to avoid diabetes people need to include vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds and this includes having low amounts of animal, products.

Also, what type of meat that people eat matters as they need to stick to very lean meat such as the breasts of turkey or chicken. Then the best beef cuts to eat is sirloin, flank steak, then there’s tenderloin and chipped beef. People can also eat lean pork such as tenderloin, ham or Canadian bacon and other types of meats that are suitable are veal (except cutlets) then there’s wild game such as venison, rabbit, duck, and goose (skin off).

Then the types of meats to avoid are beef spare, ribs, products made of pork, products made from ground lamb, and processed meats such as:

Sausages, and frankfurters, then there’s salami, corned beef, and luncheon meat as well.

Best Substitutes for Dairy Milk

Milk from the dairy is thought to be good for our bones because of its calcium/protein content as calcium and protein work together to store calcium in bones.

Calcium is also required to restore the body’s pH if it becomes too acidic and when this occurs calcium is taken from the bones.

Bodies also need Vitamin D for it to be able to absorb calcium, and phosphorus but then dogs and people can be dairy intolerant.

We can also get Vitamin D from eating various types of seafood like tuna, or salmon, or sardines and herring to name a few other than the sun, and there’s mushrooms as well. Some calcium can be obtained from plants such as green leafy veggies. Though some people don’t like eating salads.

Or they may think veggies are expensive and feeding dogs vegetables can be very controversial.

Then getting back to people they may not like adding milk to their teas.

Or coffees and another thing that I heard that people may do is eat the cereal but leave the milk in the bowl.

People may not be aware that a dog’s nutritional needs falls somewhere between being a carnivore (meat eater) and an omnivore (plant and meat eater).

This means that a dog has a more varied diet than a cat as the normal pH range for a dog is 7.0-7.5 while a cat is slightly acidic being known as a true, carnivore.

While the normal pH reading for people is 7.0 – 7.5 too.

However, dogs cannot eat everything that people can eat. Then getting back to people the best substitute for dairy milk, are soy or hemp milk. There is also oat milk, rice milk, and milk from nuts such as almond, cashew, coconut, hazelnut, or macadamia.

Dogs may have an allergy to nuts, though a little bit of oat milk can be given. Also, some people like giving their dog yoghurt. As it is a source of probiotics and because their dog enjoys it however, there is probiotics and prebiotics in fruit and vegetables too.

Why is Porridge So Good

I’ve heard recently that eating breakfast is important. As it prevents diabetes but then what else is equally important is:

Knowing what to eat and porridge is a food that can, prevent diabetes.

It is also heart friendly and can be eaten if a person has acid reflux or hemorrhoids and it can be made from different grains such as rolled oats, quinoa, and brown rice.

Though it can be also made from buckwheat, spelt, or amaranth and either spices or fruit could be added. This meal also has iron (metabolism) copper (healthy bones), and it also has manganese, (blood sugar management) and also contains zinc.

Then if the porridge is made from rolled oats it contains complex carbohydrates (fiber) that releases its energy slowly.

Fiber can be either soluble or insoluble and can help with constipation. Consuming rolled oats can help us get through the day by making us feel fuller.

So, that we may eat less. The food also has plant protein as well as beta glucan (prebiotic fiber) that is needed for maintaining gut health. It can also keep the blood sugar and, blood pressure healthy.
