Diabetic Diet
Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes—is
a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high
blood sugar, either because the body does not produce
enough insulin which is needed by sugar in order to enter
the cells for metabolism, or because cells do not respond
to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar pro-
duces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent uri-
nation), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (in-
creased hunger).
Recommended daily food portion:

dried beans, peas, lentils, fruits, & vegetables.

Hypertension 
High blood pressure is a chronic medical condition in
which the systemic arterial blood pressure is elevated.
It is classified as either primary (essential) or secondary.
• “primary hypertension”, which refers to high blood
pressure for which no medical cause can be found
• Secondary hypertension are caused by other condi-
tions that affect the kidneys, arteries, heart, or
endocrine system. Persistent hypertension is one
of the risk factors for stroke, myocardial infarc-
tion, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a
leading cause of chronic kidney failure.
Dietary and lifestyle changes can improve blood pres-
sure control and decrease the risk of associated health
complications, although drug treatment may prove
necessary in patients for whom lifestyle changes prove
ineffective or insufficient.
Tips to Reduce Hypertension
1. Drink water – Drinking pure water at room tempera-
ture or warmer throughout the day can be a very effec-
tive tool in controlling blood pressure.
2. Avoid saturated and trans fats. Focus on healthy fats
like those from wild fish, which supply beneficial ome-
ga-3 fatty acids.
3. Increase intake of potassium, magnesium, and calci-
um. Include more whole, fresh plant foods in your meals.
Some potassium-rich foods include avocados, bananas,
beans spinach, and squash. Choose organically grown
produce whenever possible – organically grown foods
have a higher mineral content than commercially grown.
4. Skip the salt. 
5. Cut refined sugars. Refined sugar is often converted
to body fat, which is a primary risk factor in hyperten-
sion. Sugar itself has also been implicated in raising BP.
6. Reduce alcohol intake.
Specific Foods to avoid Hypertension
• Celery, Chili peppers – all kinds including hot sauce,
garlic, onions, ginger,
• Oats, brown rice, spinach, green peas,
• mushrooms
• Chocolate 70% +, green tea and black tea, olive
oil, sesame oil, all nuts –they are rich in magne-
sium, sardines, salmon, . Small amounts of red wine,
concord grape juice, pomegranates or pomegran-
ate juice, bananas, blueberries, or black currant
oil (found in supplements).
