3 Best #FRUITS FOR #DIABETICS with low Glycemic Index

[moonspirit]

Hi Moon :3

What do you think of AruAni bakery date?

Like where Armin just takes Annie out to lunch in the tiniest pastry shop in town?

Fluff will 100% ensue!

🥲

Nevermind fluff, I think Armin's gonna get poisoned by too much sugar.

Because come the fuck on, what is a bakery date if he isn't being a lovey-dovey boyfriend and accepting cutesy-sized bites of cake and pudding from his very excited girlfriend?! Like, that's tHE boyfriend dream!

(half of the reason he's taking Annie to this bakery because she'll love it, the other half is because he's excited to be romantically spoonfed)

It goes well! They're cuter than the icing on the display cakes! They get a tiny table by a corner where Armin can coax Annie into cuddling close as she orders off the menu. And can you imagine the look on HER face?! It's the girl's DREAM. He's even telling her to get whatever she likes! Diabetes heaven! The first dish comes - some kind of milk pudding that looks like a cat and almost too cruel to eat, but hell to the fuck yeah, she's picking up a spoonful and looking at him expectantly and with a slight blush, "Wanna try a bite?"

In public! Hallelujah!

T////T Armin's positively floating off to space now.

It's still good after that tho! She gets whipped cream on her nose and he licks it off. She gets sugar on her lips and he kisses it off! She's so happy and blushy and purring with contentment and Armin is mentally formulating his 12-step marriage proposal plan (ring included).

But listen... listen, it soon backfires because he doesn't realize - Annie's hellbent on trying every single thing they have in that bakery, and though it means he continues to get tiny bites of whatever thing arrives on the table like the star boyfriend he is, it also means... he's feeling sick with all that sugar.

"Hmm, now I think I'll get the Mango Foam Cosmic Shoedust Ginger Puree Health Hazard Fruit Salad."

He's terrified. Does it really have mango in it? Only Ymir knows. 500 grams of sugar in a single scoop and a guaranteed dentist appointment. An abomination, but Annie's looking at him like THIS:

He's poisoning himself for her, confirmed. RIP.

Ahhh mimi the image of cute little sena trying to charm her appa to let her eat dessert is just too cute to handle 😍 jin would try to be stern saying she had to eat her meals first but he just can't deny his princess 🥰🥰 imagine her cute voice saying "appa pweaaase??" acting all cute, He would be putty in no time 😂

The Light of Dead Stars Masterlist

“Appa, I’m hungwee.”

Jin places the lid back on the boiling pot as he waits for the ribs to soften and looks down at the little girl who’s tugging on his shirt, asking for attention. She has her signature pout on, the one she’s learned to master because, well, like you told him once, Sena’s got him wrapped around her little fingers and she eventually figured that out.

“Dinner isn’t ready yet, Princess,” he says, kneeling down. “We have to wait for a little while, okay?”

“But I’m hungwee. And I want cupcake.”

“Princess, that’s for dessert,” he shakes his head. “Didn’t appa say that dessert comes after dinner?”

“Appa also said that when I’m hungwee, I should eat.”

Sena’s pout intensifies, and if it wasn’t for her adorable cheeks that gets poofy when she does this and the adorable way that she can’t say her Rs, Jin would giggle and kiss her nonstop and tickle her to get back at her for being too smart for her own good. But this is his kid, the one he made with you, and she’s bound to be a little stubborn, fierce, and incredibly charming while trying to get her way. Just like you.

“There are tangerines here that you can munch on,” he bargains. “Uncle Yoongi got them for you.”

He takes the fruit from the bowl and starts peeling them. He stops, though, when he sees his daughter’s unchanged reaction.

“But I want cupcake. Pwease, appa? Just a small one.”

“Sena,” he says, only ever calling her by her name when he’s trying to be stern. He tries his hardest to keep a calm face whenever he does this because at any second, he knows he’ll easily give in. “We always eat dessert after dinner, okay? Can you listen to appa this once?”

She doesn’t answer, but she does harden her pout one last time and then turns around to walk away, exaggerating her steps and causing her tiny pigtails to bounce with her.

“Ooh, you’ve angered the queen,” you tease, nudging your husband by the hip. “Good luck with appeasing her later on.”

“No thanks to you,” Jin frowns. “Why didn’t you back me up?”

“Because I already said no to her yesterday when she asked for another toy,” you say. “And I would’ve been on her side. So what if she eats a cupcake before dinner? It’s still food.”

“It’s sweets! Eating it before a proper meal is not a good habit to have!”

“I always got cookies and pies before dinner behind my parents’ backs. I’m not diabetic or anything.”

“Well, I always followed my parents’ rules and we don’t want her to be breaking our rules, do we?” Jin argues.

“Not if they’re silly rules,” you counter. “It’s literally a tiny piece of cupcake, love. Something you made that she enjoys. It won’t hurt her.”

Jin massages his temples. Between the both of you, he’s the one constantly freaking out. You’re so good with her, she follows what you say, and she never seems to ever get upset with you. But like you’ve told him, his relationship with Sena is special - full of silly arguments with tons and tons of hugs and kisses. This is just one of those things that’s gonna be so natural and every bit a part of their incredibly adorable relationship because you’re right - he won’t really be able to say no.

“She hates me,” he pouts now.

“No, she doesn’t. The ribs won’t be ready in another 15 minutes. Go and make it up to her,” you order him, passing him the mini cupcake that he baked because it’s currently her favorite thing to eat.

Jin takes it and goes to the living room, trying to see if she went there or to her playroom.

“Princess,” he calls out. “Where are you? I got you something.”

“I’m hiding!” Sena yells to his amusement, now knowing exactly where she is.

He peeks inside the little tent that’s next to the couch. “Hey, Princess. I’m sorry I didn’t give your cupcake. Do you like it a lot?”

She nods, pouty lips and all. “It’s very yummy.”

“If I give you one now, do you promise to finish your dinner later?”

“Yes, appa,” she looks up now, her eyes getting a little brighter.

“Okay. Here you go,” he says, passing the unicorn cupcake to her inside the tent.

The smile she gives turns him into a puddle.

“Thank you!” She squeals, hugging him before she takes the sweets from his hand then proceeds to eat it.

It takes her 4 little bites to finish it, all the while smiling giddily.

“Did you like it?” He asks, wiping the icing off her lips.

“Yes!” She says, kissing his cheek. “I love you, appa!”

The way she looks at him is truly one of those things he treasures the most. It’s no surprise that this is one of his weaknesses. It’s also what prompts him to say, “do you want another one?”

It’s something that she obviously doesn’t pass up on.

Oc interview

I was tagged by @adelaidedrubman !

Judas King and Mary Hart agreed to sit down with Lauren Westfield for a couple preemptive interviews with her podcast and YouTube series, Case Files.

“The Chosen One, Wrath, Sinner- I think Jacob called me the executioner once…”

Upon seeing Laurens growing discomfort Judas trails off, his face growing red

gender

“Male, mostly.”

star sign

“Aquarius I think? Mary talks about it a lot.

personality type

“I dont want to be a dick but I don’t really know what this has to do with Edens gate..”

“Oh right, you’re just gonna have to bear with me on some of these, my um, my whole world has been about this stuff uncensored for like five years.”

fave fruit 

“I love oranges- more than anyone should and I had one for the first time in years the other day and I gotta say even the best batch of bliss couldn’t beat that shit.”

Lauren, while still uncomfortable makes no move to change the subject this time.

fave season

“Early fall-late summer. The rain brings a chill and I think the mountains are best when it’s wet out.”

Judas chuckled at this one.

dog or cat person

“Bears. I volunteered at a wildlife rehab center before the reapings and we had this bear, cheeseburger, a big old boy who was found by one of the senior members found him shoving trash in his face behind Chad’s old place. Burgers, fries, onion rings you name it Cheeseburger ate it. So he took him in anyways after everything went down Wade radioed in saying he had to release him because the Jacob wanted to experiment so I tracked him down. Found out he was diabetic and needed insulin so we became buddies. He’s in Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary now and I visit him every few days.”

It’s at this point Judas pulls out a phone and starts showing the staff pictures of a severely obese grizzly bear wearing a collar, at which they coo and awe. In newer photos he has lost a considerable amount weight.

dream trip 

“Climb every mountain range in North America. I met a guy when I was a kid on a hike that did that, his name was trinket and he was like 70 years old climbing the continental divide in colorado. Said he sold everything a few years ago to fund his mission. I’d like to start in the south, Saturn says the Appalachians are pretty.”

“I don’t want to assume anything but wouldn’t you be sick of mountains at this point I mean…after everything that happened in the whitetails?”

Judas laughs. “It’s not the mountains fault some lunatic decided to murder and maim a bunch of people.”

favorite fictional/real character

“Optimus Prime, they made like three more transformers movies and I made everyone promise to watch them with me when we get home.”

number of blankets you sleep with? 

“I have a weighted blanket and, okay don’t make fun of me, my baby blanket under that. It’s basically like a two foot square of worn out fabric at this point but we found it in the house after. Um. After.”

It’s at this point Judas begins to look upset for the first time during the interview. Lauren quickly asks the next question.

random fact:

“I thought it would be fun to teach boomer how to launch himself off my back but now he does it at random. It hurts, I’m sorry it’s been nice do you mind if I um. If I go sit outside for a little bit?”

dog or cat person

“Does peaches count as a cat?”

She looks past the camera and grins at someone. Laura asks who peaches is.

“Peaches, my dear, is this badass cougar we found eating so- I’m not allowed to say that am I? We found her in the Henbane.  Her owner just. Handed her to us, a trio of eighteen year old kids. She’s the sweetest thing…most of the time. She’s at Yellowstone with Cheeseburger.

[ducknotinarow]

[BaileyRichy] With a nice large smile on their beak, Bailey casually perched themselves on the edge of the shelves, where all the Strawberries were. He made sure he was under the, oh so appropriate sign reading: 'Plump, sweet, and begging for cream'.

"Oh Richy~" Bailey cooed, "Aren't you forgetting to pick something up from here~"

| muse interaction

Shopping was already one of Richard least favorite things to do, outside book buying or buying new coffee machinery. Now for rye shopping though? that he disliked, and though options on getting that shopping done existing now. Having someone else handle the actual act of going and shopping for you and you either going to pick up it up once completed or have it taken to your door step.

Richard the control freak that he was hated the idea of someone one else picking out his items. What if they didn’t know how best to check the produce? Or didn’t mind the experience dates? Or worse the store was out of an item and some how something from the Starducks, brand ended up in his home because of some random person simply wishing to collect a pay check was given the reigns of his shopping trip? Not as much as he hatred going into the store he rather suffer the mind numbing effect it seemed to bring to him. At least Richard had one plus when it came to this. He had Bailey to tag along and join in.

Not that Bailey was much help. Bailey always wanted to add in unneeded items to the cart or better said the things that caught Bailey’s eyes of course peanut butter was added and Richard left it be they did go through it a lot thanks to Bailey and Buddy’s addiction to the stuff. But a few things Richard just rolled his eyes and took back out like the dragon fruit just cause it was pink and sparkly so Bailey figured they needed it. Or the overly pink marshmallows that Richard was sure would give one diabetics just by smelling the sugar from the plastic bag they held it in. Of course, they had a whole argument in the middle of the store when Bailey tried to add in glitter. And Richard said he could just get edible glitter instead.

Because how dare Richard suggest such a thing even? Richard was starting to reconsider his earlier thought about liking when his husband came with him. How did he forget that Bailey always ALWAYS misbehaved worse than a child. Even their own child never acted as Bailey would when they were in the expected age range to do so. It didn’t matter that Buddy was an odd child they still would never fully carry an argument in the middle of the store like Bailey would. Then again so would Richard. Something he conveniently was ignoring from his recount of events going on. As they somehow did finally make it into the produce area. 

Richard was slightly slumped over the handle of the cart as he rubbed at the temples of his head. Doing his best to ignore the onlookers who heard the end of the glitter debate. Richard had to just give in and let Bailey have his way. One would think Richard would learn to pick his battles, but thing is was? Richard loves being right. And that doesn't work out too well when you are talking to an idiot. 

Richard looked to the stand nearest him eyeing the apples as he thought over what they needed at home. He was sure some apples would be good both to eat as is or for baking. Richard packed a few into the reusable produce bag before he started to move and look over the squash they had in stock. Along with tomatoes and garlic and what not. Mentalling thinking over the dinner plans he had set up and what would be needed. Richard always made everything from scratch, not a fan of the premade stuff when he could do it better after all. Produce for pasta sauce, or to cook up in a pan or roast along with meat. Feeling his mood lifted once on task again Richard had what was needed so they could finally leave and head home. As if that meant Bailey’s antics would end. But at least they wouldn’t continue here. 

“Lets go, we’re done now.” Richard calls out as he starts to push the cart forward and make way to the checklanes. 

"Oh Richy~"

“No.” Was all Richard answered with, he just knew it from the cadence of Bailey’s trill they were up to another Bailey antic. “The shopping is completed. My patience for you has worn beyond thin. And the headache I have might as well be spelling out your name. So lets go.” There was always some air of freedom of how Richard could speak to Bailey. Even with how rude he was being it wasn’t ever used to escalate. Only Bailey’s que to keep going it seemed.  

"Aren't you forgetting to pick something up from here~" 

Richard sighed “I highly doubt that I check over my list many times. I always know what to get the additions are only ever due to my husband who lacks the ability to not throw whatever catches his eyes into the cart though.” Richard continued but humored Bailey by turning to look over at them. Noting how Bailey was perching himself by the strawberries. Richard lifted a brow clearly there was something he was missing here. From the look Bailey was wearing now, still aiming for attention but not the kind given when Bailey is feeling bratty. Not more intimate kind. As if Bailey earned that. 

Richard let his gaze rise up to the sign just over Bailey’s and the strawberries. And suddenly it made sense. As Richard read over the sign reading: 'Plump, sweet, and begging for cream'.

Currently he only felt Bailey was plump, he was clearly begging for the cream with this stun as if he hadn’t been making this trip for groceries a full on stressful task. Maybe he get that same creme he was apparently begging for. Richard couldn’t help but also wonder why the hell that sign was approved. There was no way anyone read that and didn’t see a more dirty message to it. Richard was ready to just move on and ignore Bailey. But as he thought before.

There was something freeing about being married to Bailey. Bailey accepted Richard as well Richard. The fussy man with the more sour attitude. Where yes Richard was rude and many wouldn’t get that as just who he was over the result of a bad mood. Bailey knew better. 

Meaning? Pay back of course.

Richard smirked a little as he moved away from the cart, eyeing the sign as he stroked at his chin “mm sweet, plump and begging for cream?” he asks, letting his gaze drop down to Bailey and his expected gaze. Only for Richard to smugly smirk as he reached over and picked Bailey up to move out from his way as he stepped close to look over the different containers of strawberries. Lifting one up at a time to make sure he picked the best one out from the table. “That might make a great dessert idea i’m sure Buddy will love some fresh and plump strawberries to work with. Good idea.” Richard added in well aware Bailey was for sure pouting at this point. Happily making his choice he set it into the cart and continued to hold his own smug smile fully satisfied with his payback. 

“I'm sure Buddy can make a short cake or maybe just strawberries and cream for tonight. I’ll make sure they thank you for the suggestion so stop with the face.” As if that was what had Bailey so upset in the moment.

a bulgarian's guide to health (aka me tuning into my inner slavic grandma) the series! -> masterlist

where I shortly talk about some things I've learned from my parents and grandparents about everything under the sun

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? I HARDLY KNOW HER!

hypertention is BAD. like BADDDD bad. your blood pressure is the force of your blood that pushes against your blood vessel walls. when this becomes too high consistently, it's referred to as high blood pressure or hypertension. high blood pressure can be dangerous, and the higher it becomes, the greater risk you have for other types of health issues, such as stroke, heart attack and heart disease. it's also sometimes called "the silent killer," as high blood pressure often doesn't cause any warning signs. while hypertension affects almost half of all adults, many aren't aware they have it.

normal blood pressure levels are between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg

and since I'm from a family that's prone to high blood pressure and high blood sugar (and high cholesterol and diabetes and many other health issues...), I've learned a lot about it! so here are the main two methods for lowering blood pressure!

garlic!!! we love garlic!!!! we genuinely eat it with every meal, I'm not even joking.

it's good for lowering cholesterol and preventing cancer. it also acts like a blood thinner and ofcorse the star of this show - it lowers blood pressure!

allicin is the main active compound in garlic, considered the contributing factor in garlic's ability to lower blood pressure and can prevent angiotensin production (a hormone responsible for raising blood pressure by contracting the blood vessels).

by restricting angiotensin, allicin allows your blood to flow freely and easily, reducing your blood pressure. it's also believed that garlic's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability help prevent and reduce high blood pressure.

lemon!! everyone knows warm water with lemon is really good for you and here's how it lowers blood pressure!

it's found that the flavonoids (a form of plant chemicals that function as antioxidants in the body, protecting against free radicals' damaging effects) in lemon help lower your blood pressure as well. the potassium found in lemon juice can also help decrease the effects of salt on blood pressure!!

The flavonoids in citrus fruits may help reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (when blood flow to your brain is reduced or blocked) in those assigned female at birth. another benefit of the plant compounds found in lemons - limonin, hesperidin, and diosmin - have also been found to lower your cholesterol levels

An insight into switching to a vegan diet. Learn how to stick by it.

A vegan diet has been trending in the town for a while now, and it is not at all difficult to comprehend why. The proven health benefits and positive environmental impacts of this plant-based diet are enough to support the fact. These sole benefits make it an optimal approach to follow. 

What made the vegan diet’s popularity rise?

People’s growing consciousness of how their food choices affect their bodies, the environment, and animals is the main driving force behind this trend. Studies have shown that a vegan diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cancer. Due to the diet being naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants make it another major factor in following a vegan diet for weight loss.

Celebrity backing has played a crucial role in heightening the levels of this trend. With more and more stars vocalizing their support for veganism, the movement has become more mainstream and accessible to a wider variety of people. This is obvious because when a celebrity follows a vegan diet, it encourages fans to do the same.

In addition to its health benefits, a vegan diet is more sustainable and better for the environment. The diet that is healthy in itself may also turn out to be the healthiest for the world since recent studies have shown that adopting a vegan diet can reduce our carbon footprint by up to 73%. This is because animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change. Reducing the demand for animal products can help reduce the amount of deforestation, water and air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. 

Finally, a vegan diet is a great way to help animals. Eating vegan helps reduce the demand for animal products, which helps reduce the number of animals living on factory farms. This means fewer animals are killed for meat and other animal products.

These factors make the consumption of this diet appropriate to follow at every stage of life. 

What is a vegan diet?

Well, a vegan diet consists mainly of plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds. However, it should always be kept in mind that a vegan diet can be plant base, but not all plant-based diets can necessarily be vegan. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients.

A vegan diet may be low in specific nutrients, such as calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12, so it’s necessary to ensure that you get enough of these nutrients through fortified foods or supplements. 

How does a vegan diet benefit your health?

The plant-based diets are naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, plant-based diets are generally high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients, which help flourish health.

According to the facts stated by studies, people who follow a vegan diet have lower rates of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Second, plant-based diets are often more sustainable than diets that include animal products. These require fewer resources to produce, meaning they have less of an environmental impact than animal-based foods. 

At many points throughout life, such as during pregnancy, nursing, infancy, youth, adolescence, and older adults, and for athletes, a well-planned vegan diet is a good, nutritious choice. Finally, plant-based diets are beneficial for your mental health as well. Eating a variety of plant-based foods can help reduce stress and provide a sense of well-being and is often associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety. 

Overall, a vegan diet is a wonderful option to navigate for the betterment of your health, your mental well-being, and the environment. 

However, It’s important to note that a vegan diet may not necessarily be a healthier option for everyone. People with specific health concerns may need to take extra steps to ensure they’re getting all the nutrients they need, and those with allergies or intolerances may need to avoid certain vegan foods. It’s always best to work with a registered dietitian to develop an individualized meal plan that takes into account your health needs and lifestyle.

Simple tips to make the switch to a healthy vegan diet :

Transitioning to a different diet can be intimidating in the beginning, however maintaining it with the right attitude can help you finish the race strong.  

Here are a few steps which can make this shift smooth for you. 

1. Go Slow

Going for a plant-based basket is important for a healthy, balanced diet. Experiment with different recipes and flavors to find healthy and delicious dishes you enjoy. Also, try to buy organic, locally-sourced produce whenever possible to help support sustainable farming practices.

2.Take time to plan your meal

3. Cut down on meat and stock up healthy

Change the proportion of animal and plant based food on your plate rather than completely eliminating animal products. This will help you make a gradual but successful transition to a plant-based diet. 

Also, you may try some plant-based alternatives. If you’re used to having a certain type of animal-based dish, try to find a plant-based version of it. This will make the transition easier and more enjoyable. 

4. Experiment with your food by knowing it

Also, don’t be afraid to get creative with your food. Vegan cooking is versatile,and gives you the opportunity to try something you’ve never tried before. 

5. Never shy away to take help

Changing your diet might be overwhelming initially however when transitioning to vegan diet, it’s important to have a plan of action in place. Setting achievable goals for yourself and tracking your progress help you stay on track and stay motivated.

Keep reading to discover which are the 5 low-carb superfoods you need to include in your vegan diet. Connect with a reliable diabetes ayurvedic cure online retail shop to find out what type of vegetarian diet for diabetes you should go for.

Leafy greens that are rich in healthy fibers not only fill your tummy but also assist in restricting changes in your blood sugar levels. Did you know that the glycemic index of spinach is 15? Also, the low-calorie content in spinach makes it a suitable option to manage your weight, which is essential for diabetes management.

Sweet potato

Being full of carbohydrates, potatoes are a no-no for diabetic patients. But you can always opt for pink sweet potatoes or shakarkandi that are packed with good carbs that do not metabolise quickly and maintain steady sugar levels. Having glycemic index that’s less than 55, sweet potatoes are a tasty and healthy food to include in your meals in moderate proportion.

Bitter gourd

Not that fond of the bitter taste of this vegetable? Well, keeping that aside, there’s no doubt that bitter gourd is a must-have vegetable in a good diabetes diet. The anti-diabetic properties as well as insulin-resembling compounds present in karela make it the healthiest superfood for improving your system’s insulin activity.

Orange

As per the American Diabetes Association, citrus fruits have been found to be exceptionally effective in managing blood sugar levels. Oranges have large amounts of fibers too. These fibers inside this delicious fruit don’t breakdown quickly and stay in your body for a long period, incorporating eventual release of sugar. Have whole orange instead of orange juice as the former is richer in fiber content.

Chia seeds

Full of antioxidants and packed with anti-inflammatory properties, these super seeds contain loads of fiber, iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium. Chia seeds are a fantastic choice for diabetics to regulate blood sugar and prevent diabetes-related illnesses. You can soak them in water or sprinkle them over your cereals, salads or smoothies to enjoy a wholesome plant-based diet.
