Indian Vegetarian Diet
Balancing Blood Sugar/ Protein for good health
The Indian Vegetarian Diet and Nutrition Seminar focused on balancing blood sugar led by Dr. Shivani Sharma a board certified dietitian. It was a great opportunity for people to learn about how to create healthy balance Indian meals ensuring we meet our nutritional standards as well as having long term sustainable food choices. Dr. Shivani Sharma started off by discussing the importance of why having a stable blood sugar is important followed by causes of the fluctuation of blood sugar Afterwards, she talked about complex and simple carbohydrates and what Indian foods fit into each category. She then had an interactive discussion about how to manage blood sugar by using the PFF diet known as the protein fiber and fat diet which emphasizes pairing carbs with more protein, fiber, or fat. She patiently answered questions about diet and different ways to manage blood sugar levels. I learnt so much about how different aspects of a diet can affect your health in different ways. At the end of the session she handed out a week long diet plan and a chart showing what foods to avoid and what food to eat more of. Overall 1 had a great time and the session was very informative |
