What To Eat When You're Sick and Tired

June 19, 2008

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...
