counselling session. Limit the intake of high carbohydrate/starchy foods like
pasta, chapati, anjera, ugali, potatoes, sweet potatoes.
2. Remember the amount of the foods consumed matters more than the type
and the colour of the flour used.
3. Vegetables should be used in larger amounts- this can be Sukuma wiki,
cabbage, spinach, pumpkins, kunde, mchicha
4. Proteins use meats, chicken, fish, eggs and alternate with beans and ndengu
5. Use healthy amounts ant types of fats when cooking. If possible some ffods
can be boiled, vegetables can be steamed, and avoid deep frying foods.
6. Avoid sugary and refined and sweetened foods. Eg avoid sodas, packaged
juices, biscuits, cakes etc.alternatively drink water and take whole fruits.
7. Stay active- take walks and exercise to keep your body healthy
8. Most importantly remember to take your medications as instructed by the
doctor
