Search our diabetes-friendly food database and get science-based nutrition guidance to make informed food choices.
Can eating a healthy diet help control diabetes? This question led me down the path of studying diabetes. I started learning about blood sugar, glycemic index, glycemic load, carbohydrate content in food, fiber, fat content, and how these affect blood sugar.
I have read many articles from diabetes.org and cdc.gov to better understand diabetes and the impact of food on it. I also researched various foods and collated the nutrient values of each food from USDA FoodData Central.
I created eatforhealing.com to allow users to easily look up the nutrient values of various foods. I also created visual indicators that make it easier to understand whether a food may be suitable for diabetes and hypertension.
Eatforhealing.com is not just a website about food. It is a project that allows me to combine my interests in life sciences, food, medicine, and research. My goal is to expand the website and its features so that it satisfies the needs of users looking for information about their favorite foods.
I hope to make a real difference for people who are struggling to separate facts from fiction and misleading labels. Healthy foods are often promoted as the latest fad, but the real facts can be hard for the average person to understand. I hope to empower users with clear information and make it easy to access. Please help by sharing feedback and suggesting foods that may be missing from the website.
