Healthy Eating
Cooking in
a tasty
yet diabetes-friendly
manner
can be a
challenge for
people with
diabetes and their
families. The same
is true for people
with other medical
conditions that
require a special
diet, or even for
those simply looking
to incorporate a
healthy diet as part
of their lifestyle.
The dietitians and dietary staff at Memorial Medical Center (MMC) have excellent ideas on making your meals both healthy and appealing and tailoring your menus for specific dietary needs.
Lives Made Better will regularly feature articles and recipes from the dietitians and staff. The menu and recipe provide an example of a delicious, well-balanced meal that is compatible with a diabetes diet and other healthy eating plans.
MMC’s dietitians are available for personal dietary consultation. You might want to discuss with your family doctor the benefits of advice from a registered dietitian for your individual circumstances.
