Mia Clark thinks the Mediterranean diet keeps meals tasty while nevertheless being ideal for controlling diabetes. Mia says, “It’s all about fresh, whole foods; and lowering salt doesn’t mean you lose taste.”
Why Low Sodium?
“High sodium can increase blood pressure, which isn’t great for diabetes management,” Mia notes. She accentuates tastes using herbs, spices, and citrus rather than salt.
Recipes to Try
Greek Chickpea Salad: “This is my preferred!,” Mia calls out. Toss olive oil, lemon juice, a little of pepper, red onion, parsley, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas. It’s reviving and high in fibre.
Salmon Made with Herbs and Crustings: Before baking salmon, Mia seasons it with dill, oregano, and garlicky mixture. She guarantees, “It’s so flavourful; you won’t miss the salt.”
Noodles from zucchini topped with pesto: Substitute spiral zucchini for regular spaghetti. Top with homemade pesto composed of fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan sprinkle.
The Advice of Mia: “Cooking at home allows you control over elements,” Mia counsels. She also advises closely checking labels on purchased packaged goods. “Low-sodium does not always indicate healthy.”
Mia exhorts everyone to have fun experimenting. “Once you get the hang of it, low-sodium cooking is easy and delicious!!”
