Add Some Flavor to Your Summer
Alexandria, VA May 30, 2007
American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Forecast Shares Ideas on How to Complement Your Favorite Summer Foods in a Fun and Healthy Way
Whether it’s a picnic with your family or a barbeque with your friends, summer is a great time to enjoy a host of seasonal foods. The June issue of Diabetes Forecast highlights fresh and invigorating ways to add flavor to your favorite summer foods while eating healthfully.
Have you ever tried grilling your potatoes? Take peeled and washed potatoes, cut them into quarters, toss them in olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder and place them on the grill for several minutes until toasted and brown. This is just one of the fresh and healthy takes that Diabetes Forecast offers for this every day food.
Also included are recipes for grilled ginger pork with grilled tomatoes and grilled tilapia with tangerine watercress salad.
The article also highlights the latest products that will add flavor to your favorite foods without sacrificing nutrition such as seasoned skewers along with meat rubs and marinades that are all tasty and healthy.
In addition, the magazine’s Diabetes Advocate section discusses students’ rights against discrimination in public schools. The story features Kathy Sego of Madison, Ind., whose son, Hunter, wasn’t allowed to attend his neighborhood school due to the fact that they lacked a full-time nurse to care for Hunter’s diabetes. The district wanted to send Hunter along with all of the other students with diabetes to one central school.
At this point, Sego decided to contact the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to see what they could do about this situation. With the guidance of ADA legal advocacy, Sego was able to convince the school district officials that her son had the right to stay at their preferred school and receive proper diabetes care.
The June issue also features:
- The “Man of Steel” Ed Stabile
- The Shift-Work Shuffle
- Ask Questions—It’s Good for Your Health
