"Healthy eating recommendations can sometimes be overwhelming. 'What Can I Eat?' is one of the most common questions asked by those who have diabetes. Patients need a good place to turn to when deciding what to prepare for themselves or their families," said Elizabeth Mayer-Davis, President, Health Care & Education, American Diabetes Association. "MyFoodAdvisor: Recipes for Healthy Living helps assist in food and nutrition-related decisions, as they are a key component of diabetes management and type 2 diabetes prevention."
Meal planning helps improve blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. Research shows that losing weight can prevent diabetes complications, such as blindness, kidney disease, heart attack and stroke. Additionally, by losing 7 percent of your body weight (15 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) through diet and 150 minutes of physical activity per week, you can reduce your risk for developing type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
MyFoodAdvisor: Recipes for Healthy Living provides consumers with information they need to make healthy eating decisions through a platform containing recipes, one-day meal plans, cooking tips and food videos. Interactive videos provide consumers with cooking demonstrations of diabetes-friendly recipes, showing members how to use and prepare fresh, healthy foods. "The videos and recipe tips make meal planning easier. They provide practical advice for creating meals and snacks for any time of the day," said Mayer-Davis.
