Dietary protein is vital to our health. It plays a key role in muscle building and tissue maintenance, red blood cell formation, hormone synthesis, and hair and fingernail health.
Protein is very important in promoting healthy sugar metabolism. This is important for all of us , but especially for diabetic patients. Research indicates that eating moderate amounts of protein at regular meals and snacks helps to promote your blood sugar levels.
Here is a list of my favorite proteins: eggs, fish(halibut, sardines, salmon), cheese, cottage cheese, beans, chicken, and steel cut oatmeal.
When its difficult to get the proper amount of protein, I recommend a protein shake using Standard Processes Powered Whey Protein Mix. This protein powder mix can be used in a shake or just sprinkled on your food. This contains 15 grams of protein per serving. It supplies just 80 calories and contains no artificial flavorings found in most protein powders.
Ask your HealthFirst Doctor about your protein intake.
