Diabetics Acid-Alkaline Food Chart
In the Part I of this series, we discussed the outstanding health benefits that the alkaline diet brings to humans in general, and to people suffering from diabetes in particular.
To follow an alkaline diet, people should choose their daily foods from an 'Acid-Alkaline Foods Chart'. We recently published a 'Diabetics Acid-Alkaline Food Chart' for people with diabetes who are willing to follow an alkaline diet. To use this chart, diabetics need to comply not only with the alkaline diet rule, but also with the glycemic index rule.
The 'Alkaline Diet Rule' defines the basic nutritional guidelines. This diet plan recommends that we humans make up our daily food intake with at least 80% of alkaline-producing foods, and with no more than 20% of acid-forming food items. Additionally, this dietary plan highlights that the more alkaline a food is, the better it really is; and inversely the more acidic a food is, the worse it will be for our body.
The 'Glycemic Index Rule' divides the foods we eat into four groups, depending on their potential to elevate the blood glucose. The glycemic index (GI) measures this aptitude; it varies from 0 to 100.
Group 1:
Foods that include almost no carbohydrates and that have, in consequence, a negligible glycemic index (GI~0); people who have diabetes can eat these foods without any restriction.
Group 2:
Food items that contain carbohydrates with a low glycemic index (GI 55 or less); diabetics should consume them with caution.
Group 3:
Foods that have carbohydrates of high glycemic index (GI 56 or more); people with diabetes must cut them from their meals so far as possible.
Group 4:
Processed foods; diabetics will need to consult the manufacturers� labels to find out the glycemic index.
For more information on the glycemic index of foods, diabetics may visit the American Diabetes Association and the University of Sydney websites [respectively at http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/planning-meals/the-glycemic-index-of-foods.html and at http://www.glycemicindex.com/foodSearch.php].
Diabetics Top Best and Top Worst Foods
Especially intended for people with diabetes the �Diabetics Acid-Alkaline Food Chart� regroups foods into six categories. The list opens with the top best foods and ends with the top worst.
1. Alkalizing food items with no or with a negligible glycemic index (GI~0). They make the top best foods for diabetics who can eat them freely:
Asparagus; broccoli; parsley; celery; lettuce; carob; vegetable juices; mushrooms; squash; okra; zucchini; cauliflower; garlic/onions; green beans; beets; cabbage; raw spinach; limes; avocados; lemons; goat cheese; herb teas; lemon water; stevia; ginger tea; green tea; canola oil; olive oil; flax-seed oil.
2. Alkalizing foods that have a low glycemic index (GI 55 or less). People with diabetes might eat this type of foods with moderation due to their glycemic index values:
Barley grass; carrots; sweet potato; fresh corn; peas/soybeans; olives; tomatoes; kiwi; pears; berries; bananas; cherries; apples; oranges; peaches; grapefruit; papayas; mangoes; Brazil nut; chestnuts; wild rice; lentils; almonds; coconut; hazelnuts; quinoa; soy cheese; breast milk; soy milk; goat milk; whey; raw honey.
3. Acidifying foods with a negligible glycemic index (GI~0). These foods are acidifying and, for this reason, diabetics should consume them with moderation:
Cooked spinach; rhubarb; oysters; venison; liver; cold water fish; shellfish; turkey; chicken; pork; lamb; beef; corn oil; cheese; lard; margarine; cottage cheese; sunflower oil; buttermilk; eggs; butter; tea; coffee; cocoa; wine; beer; molasses; mustard; mayonnaise; artificial sweeteners; vinegar.
4. Acidifying food items that have a low glycemic index (GI 55 or less). People with diabetes will take this type of foods with strict moderation for both their glycemic index and their acidifying nature:
Pinto beans; kidney beans; Lima beans; navy beans; prunes; cranberries; blueberries; sour cherries; plums; wheat; pasta/pastries; whole wheat/rye bread; oats/rye; sprouted wheat bread; corn; brown rice; sunflower seeds; sesame; pecans; cashews; walnuts; pistachios; peanuts; ice cream; homogenized milk; chocolate; yogurt; cream; custard; raw milk.
5. Alkalizing food items that have a high glycemic index (GI 56 or more). Because of their high glycemic index, these foods account among the worst foods for diabetics. Diabetes sufferers should avoid them:
Tofu; turnip; potato with skins; beetroot; melons; pineapple; grapes/raisins; watermelon; figs; dates; raw sugar; rice syrup; maple syrup; millet; amaranth.
6. Acidifying food products with a high glycemic index (GI 56 or more). This group includes the top worst foods for diabetics who must avoid them absolutely:
White bread; buckwheat; pumpkin; white rice; spelt; potatoes w/o skins; processed honey; soft drinks; white sugar; brown sugar.
