What To Eat When You’re Sick and Tired

Studies abound linking sleep apnea and diabetes.

Unfortunately, many if not most patients who get diagnosed
with a sleep breathing problem still maintain a Standard
American Diet (SAD). It’s not that they’re unconcerned
about their health. Many on the contrary exercise regularly
and try to eat as best they can. Yet when their job or
lifestyles keep them running around all day (see my article
Give Me A Break) it’s difficult to take the time to think
about what they eat.

Recently, I interviewed Alyse Levine, a registered
dietician with expertise in helping busy urban
professionals optimize their food
and lifestyle choices in order to meet their personal
health goals.

In this interview, Alyse answers some of our toughest
questions on how to eat well when you’re at risk for
diabetes like:

* How to control your blood sugar level with food and
not with medications

* When to eat and when not to eat

* How to stay motivated to eat right and to lose weight

* Foods that can help you breathe better and sleep
better

* Why some “good foods” can be bad for you

* Best low sugar, high power snacks to take with you
when you’re On-The-Go

* Tips on what to order and where to go when you’re
eating out

* How to decipher confusing nutrition labels

And much much more…
