healthy meal

Eating healthy food can control the blood sugar level of everyone, especially people with diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that develops when blood sugar or glucose levels are higher than normal in the human body.

Balancing meals and opting for healthy food choices can improve health condition and prevent future complications. Here is a list of some food items which can be included in your meal chart to help you lower sugar levels in the body:

Green leafy vegetables

Green leafy vegetables are extremely healthy and full of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Vegetables like spinach, kale, cabbage and broccoli have fewer carbs that increases blood sugar level. They can be eaten as salads, side dishes, or drink as juice or soups.

Fatty Fish

Fatty fish is one of the healthiest food in the world. It contains omega-3 fatty acids called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna and trout can help diabetic patients to decrease the risks of complications like heart disease and stroke.

Whole Grains and Wheat

Whole grains have higher levels of fibre as compare to white grains. Eating a high fibre diet is important for people with diabetes, as fibre slows the digestion process. It helps in keeping blood sugar levels stable. Some items of whole grains that can be included in your diet are brown rice and whole-grain bread, whole-grain pasta.

Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits such as oranges, grape and lemons have antidiabetic effects. One can get vitamins and minerals from the citrus fruit without worrying about getting extra carbohydrates. Antioxidants like hesperidin and naringin are responsible for the antidiabetic effects in oranges. Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C and potassium.

Berries

Berries are rich antioxidants that can help prevent illness including heart disease and cancers. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries – all contain high levels of antioxidants, fibre and other vitamins and minerals. They can be included in breakfast recipes, eaten as a snack or used as frozen berries in a smoothie.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes have a lower GI scale than white potatoes which are a great alternative for diabetic people. They are also a great source of fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. Sweet potatoes can be enjoyed in many ways, including baked, boiled, roasted, or mashed.

Beans

Beans are another food option for people with diabetes. The plant-based protein can full your stomach while reducing carbohydrate intake. Eating beans helps in blood sugar regulation and maintain blood pressure and cholesterol. They also contain iron, potassium, and magnesium. People can use beans in a salad, hot stew etc.

Why Nissan’s new Z car could be its next GT500 challenger

Why Nissan’s new Z car could be its next GT500 challenger
By:

In taking the covers off its Z Proto concept car, Nissan may have provided us with a first glimpse of its next-generation SUPER GT car.

Nissan’s Z Proto is the successor to the 370Z, launched back in 2008, and pays homage to the manufacturer’s line of ‘Z’ machinery dating back to the 240Z of the 1970s. It boasts a three litre twin-turbo V6 engine, although power output has yet to be revealed.

While it’s worth noting that the Z Proto is not the final production model, it has been tipped to go on sale as early as next year, potentially with the ‘400Z’ moniker.

As far as SUPER GT goes, it’s no secret that the current-generation Nissan GT-R is old – in fact, launched back in 2007, it will celebrate its 13th birthday in December. The GT-R has been the base model for Nissan’s GT500 cars since the 2008 season, in which time it has gone through no fewer than five iterations, updated in line with the evolving regulations.

By contrast, the NSX has served as Honda’s GT500 base model only since 2017 (albeit in 2014-16, the outwardly similar 'NSX Concept’ was used), while SUPER GT fans will hardly need reminding that the Toyota GR Supra is in its first year of GT500 competition.

The current GT-R should remain in service at least until the end of the 2022 season, but with a fresh rules cycle commencing in 2023, it seems likely that Nissan would leap on the opportunity to introduce a new base model if there were a suitable one available.

While the GT-R brand name still carries plenty of weight with fans worldwide, it should be remembered Nissan retired the iconic R34 GT-R at the end of the 2003 JGTC campaign and ushered in the 350Z, which went on to win the title in 2004 with Satoshi Motoyama and Richard Lyons, and spent four seasons in service before the current GT-R came along.

Using the new Z would also put Nissan in line with the Supra, which sits in the same segment of the market and whose low, sleek bodywork appears to be an ideal fit for the current GT500 regulations, which make use of a common tub.

Looking at the timeline of the Supra, it was officially unveiled in January 2019, a year ahead of the GT500 version making its race debut. So, assuming a similar timeframe, a production version of a new Nissan sportscar would ideally be rolling off the production lines no later than early 2022 – which appears to make the Z the only option in the short-term.

There have been plenty of rumours that a new GT-R is in the works, but depending on who you believe, this may not arrive until the latter half of the decade. Indeed, recent Japanese media reports suggest that the current R35 platform will be given one last hurrah with a special ‘final edition’, potentially coming along in 2022.

NISMO, the motorsport arm of Nissan, is remaining tight-lipped on the matter. Approached for comment, a NISMO spokesperson would only say: “Regarding the base model, we will announce when the right time comes.”

It might be a while until Nissan announces anything official, but considering its age it would certainly come as little surprise to see the current GT-R retired after 2022, and the Z moniker entering GT500 battle once again in the years to come.

One person was taken into custody after a federal officer was shot outside a courthouse in Phoenix on Tuesday morning, officials said.

The injuries to the federal officer, who was hit about 11:30 a.m., were not life-threatening, the FBI said and police said.

A person was taken into custody in connection to an assault on a federal officer, the FBI said in a statement. The agency did not provide additional details.

The FBI said Tuesday afternoon that there was no information suggesting a continued threat to public safety, and that it was an ongoing investigation and no other information could be released at that time.

A court security officer was shot outside the federal courthouse in the city, police said.

The guard's bullet-resistant vest absorbed the impact, U.S. Marshal David Gonzales said according to NBC affiliate KPNX of Phoenix. The station reported that the officer was expected to be OK.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey tweeted that he was praying for the officer's full recovery.
