Drinks to avoid if you’re living with diabetes

Over four million South Africans are currently living with diabetes. While it’s the second leading cause of death in South Africa, the condition can be managed with medicine and good lifestyle choices. One of the most important is following a healthy diet, which includes watching what you drink.

Unhealthy drinks

Alcohol, fizzy, sugary and energy drinks aren’t healthy options, especially if you’re living with diabetes. High in sugar and carbohydrates, they can cause spikes in blood sugar and poor blood glucose control.

Sustained high glucose levels can increase the risk of complications such as damage to the nerves, kidneys, heart, and eyes. Alcohol can also interfere with diabetes medicines.

The South African government recommends a threshold of 4g of sugar per 100ml can. Yet, a 100ml can of some cold drinks and energy drinks contains over 10.5g of sugar. Fruit juices also have a very high sugar content.

Diabetes-friendly drinks

There are many options that won’t compromise the health of those living with diabetes. These include:

Sugar and milk-free tea or coffee
If you enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, take it without milk, cream, sugar or syrup, as these additions can affect blood sugar.

Herbal teas
Green, ginger and chamomile teas, for example, are free of sugar and carbohydrates and higher in antioxidants, which promote good health.

Water
Water is the best option. Not only does it prevent dehydration, but it also helps to manage blood sugar levels. Try adding fresh fruit like strawberries and lemons to your water for a better taste.

Staying hydrated is important, but, especially if you’re living with diabetes, you need to avoid alcohol, fizzy, sugary and energy drinks. Keep to the right choices, and you can protect your health.

OUR KIDNEY DESERVES THE BEST.

HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE:*

1. Delaying going to a toilet. Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible.

2. Eating too much salt. You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.

3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys. More meat equals more kidney damage.

4. Drinking too much caffeine. Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering. So you should cut down the amount of coke you drink daily.

5. Not drinking water. Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their functions well. If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them through the kidneys. Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily. There is an easy way to check if you are drinking
enough water: look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the colour, the better.

6. Late treatment . Treat all your health problems properly and have your health checked regularly. Let's help ourselves...God will protect you and your family from every disease this year.

(3) Avoid these Tablets, they are very dangerous:

Share this with your loved ones.

*Important Health Tips:*

1. Answer phone calls with the left ear.

2. Don't take your medicine with cold water....

3. Don't eat heavy meals after 5pm.

4. Drink more water in the morning, less at night.

5. Best sleeping time is from 10pm to 4 am.

6. Don’t lie down immediately after taking medicine or after meals.

7. When phone's battery is low to last bar, don't answer the phone, because the radiation is 1000 times stronger.
