    The visual aides help, Pythie. It's better than the list of foods I was going to write.
    Good Job.

    By balance, it means a variety of foods. Judge by color, the darker the color, the more vitamins. Consume your grains, eat high fiber and avoid processed foods.....

    Besides eating lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water, it's good to get rid of all the "white stuff".....granulated sugar (including brown sugar), white flour, white bread, white rice, white pasta.  These foods have no nutritional value.

    That's what my Dr said concerning diabetes.

    A healthy diet should always be balanced with exercise, as prescribed by your medical professional.  The healthy diet should also be balanced by your medical professional. 


    You may also need to eliminate certain types of food altogether and it may be advisable to supplement with a multiple vitamin and/or specific supplements.

    Exercise! If you are a couch potato a diet won't be much help! Get up walk around! It will do wonders!

    my Dr. told me that too, concerning diabetes

    A healthy balance or combination of carbohydrates, protein and fibre, check portion sizes, it's often very surprising how much we over eat on protein foods such as meat, there is a lot of good information on diet and nutrition just google it, and don't forget to get some sunshine

    yes, protein foods, such as lamb ;-)

    exercise. plus it's the best medicine.  walk walk walk walk walk. walk 15 minutes away from your house then walk back home, everyday, will add years to your lungs, heart, health, beauty (men and women).  my doctor said 50% of meals should be fresh salads/veggies.

    That is depending of your age. If you are very young you should eat all sorts of food ( no junk food).


    I am no doctor but you can get good advice at  or 


    Good luck
