Cooking for Health: Healing foods & Cooking Techniques
Dr. Martha Howard
Description: Part of the obesity problem for kids and adults in the U.S. is a diet that makes blood sugar skyrocket after every meal or snack. This leads to insulin resistance, which leads to the "metabolic syndrome"--belly fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Learn about foods with a low to moderate "glycemic index"--a measure of how high a food makes your blood sugar rise after you eat it--how to shop for them and cook good meals with them.
