After 2 months of exams, module submissions and journal appraisals, I am happy to announce that I have been certified by the Stanford University Medicine in Nutrition Science. It has been my life long advocacy to educate patients with evidence-based approach to nutrition in the outpatient setting to prevent and control chronic diseases. For nutrition counseling, weight loss program and wellness consult, feel free to set an appointment at the clinic. Prevention is always indeed better than cure!

NUTRITION 101 ep 2

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are also carbohydrates?
Yes, you heard it right!

Particularly beneficial forms of carbohydrates in the diet are the polysaccharides present in more complex whole foods such as:

1. Whole grain foods (whole wheat bread, barley, oats, and brown rice)
2. Legumes (lentils and beans)
3. Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli and cabbage)
4. Root vegetables (carrots and sweet potatoes)
are all excellent sources of vitamins, fiber, and complex carbohydrates

These complex carbohydrates also help slow glucose release into the bloodstream (often due to fiber), resulting in a more even distribution of blood glucose after eating, less of a spike of insulin from the pancreas, and less of the rapid release and absorption effect that occurs with foods that are rich in simple sugars.

✅YES to fiber rich Carbs, ❌NO to refined Carbs
Make the switch today 🧘🏻‍♂️☺️
