April is here to remind us to be aware of our ultra processed food intake👍🏻

Ultra processed foods are made for convenience and long shelf life..but are slowly causing health problems like diabetes, heart diseases, high BP, fat gain, fatty liver, depression and more.

Here are some common ultra processed foods we see around:
-Packed chips
-Sugary breakfast cereals
-Instant noodles and cup noodles
-Hot dogs, chicken nuggets
-Frozen pizza
-Fast food
-Custard pudding cups
-Flavoured yogurt
-Candies
-Gummies
-Packed cookies

Lets be aware of these choices..and work on swapping and picking healthy minimally processed, lower jn additives and whole foods as much as possible..comment or DM 👍🏻 if you are ready to be aware of ultra processed foods around you this month✅

Most glucose spikes in Ramadan are not caused by fasting but due to absence of Ramadan care which is:
✔ structured meals - balanced plate with vegetables carbs and proteins👍🏻
✔ glucose monitoring
✔ sufficient hydration..by sipping water, soups, laban, hydrating foods between iftar & suhoor and limiting sugary drinks & caffeine
✔ medication review…Pre-Ramadan medical assessment is needed every year..most importantly the timing of medication or insulin needs to be reviewed.

If you or a loved one is fasting with diabetes, this is a reminder..like share and save for reference👍🏻

🧠 Low glucose
💧 Dehydration
😴 Sleep debt
⏰ natural circadian dip
🥖 weak suhoor

= 4 PM crash

Fixing the above helps lowering the system shutdown🍀

Plus if you have diabetes, check your glucose — tiredness may signal low or high sugar.

⛑️Blood vessels diseases are a single or combination of these diseases - heart attack, stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure and more.
🚨These diseases are rising in older as well as younger people.
⛑️Here are the 5 major risk factors for blood vessel diseases:
🚩Obesity and central fat deposits
🚩Diabetes type 2 (>20% of patients)
🚩High blood pressure (around 47% of patients)
🚩High salt and unhealthy fat intake
🚩Low physical activity and smoking
All of which are preventable👍🏻👍🏻

❤️Cardio vascular diseases isn’t just a medical problem but a lifestyle issue.

✅ The earlier we address diet, movement and metabolic health, the fewer lives we lose too soon🫶🏻

DM or comment if you have or know someone having any of these cardio vessels related issues👍🏻
