Diabetes Nutrition with Shelf Life

February 26, 2021 By Toby Smithson Leave a Comment

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Canned foods, if we select no added sugar or salt, provide a convenient and dependable source of nutrition virtually any time. You may be surprised to know that some foods are more nutritious canned than fresh. So let’s talk about Diabetes nutrition with a shelf life.

Welcome back to DiabetesEveryDay. I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes care and education specialist, Toby Smithson.  If you haven’t already, make sure to subscribe to my channel and log onto my DiabetesEveryDay.com website to sign up for my newsletter.

Sesame-Infused Steamed Haddock

February 18, 2021 By Toby Smithson Leave a Comment

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Eating healthy can still be delicious! That’s one of our main themes here at DiabetesEveryDay, and you’re fortunate that we have generous friends who allow us to share their healthy recipes. This Sesame-Infused Steamed Haddock is superb, and it’s from the new book DASH Diet for Dummies (John Wiley & Sons, 2021) by friends and fellow Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Roseanne Rust and Cindy Kleckner, along with Dr. Sarah Saaman.

Two-thirds of people with diabetes have hypertension (high blood pressure), and the DASH Diet is the answer to both. Try this simple dish, and you will agree (by the way, the authors offer several options to Haddock – watch and see).

Thrilled to receive #covidvaccine #2. 
Aside from my happiness of no snow, no freezing temperatures, I’m also glad to live in a small town where it literally took me 10 minutes to drive to the vaccine clinic at the local hospital. #stayingsafe #stayinghealthy
