The US Dietary Guidelines Just Got Updated: Here’s What’s Different (美國膳食指南剛剛更新: 以下是不同之處)

America’s new dietary guidelines just dropped, and while they aim to simplify healthy eating, they brought back the pyramid again, but is now upside down.
Here’s what the updated guidelines highlight:
🥩 Protein is prioritized: Aim for 1.2–1.6 g protein/kg to support muscle, metabolism, blood sugar, and fullness. However, higher intakes aren’t for everyone, especially if you have kidney disease.
🥑 Healthy fats are encouraged along with the whole fat dairy: Avocado, Omega 3 rich seafood, and olive oils are recommended, but butter or beef tallow are also accepted along with full fat dairy products with no added sugar, shifting away from the seed oils. Of course not everyone can tolerate dairy, and people who have high cholesterol, there are definitely still more evidence on Mediterranean diet for heart health.
🚫 Ultra-processed foods are called out: Avoid ultra processed foods that are high in salt, sugar, and additives.
🍭 Minimizing added sugars: No more than 10g of added sugars per meal. Limit food and beverages with artificial flavors, dyes, preservatives, and low calorie non-nutritive sweeteners. Reducing added sugar matters, but it is not enough without prioritizing fiber rich, accessible foods.
🌾 Whole grains > refined carbs: Whole grains support heart health, blood sugar control, and gut health, yet fiber remains under emphasized. Also, Glycemic Index is not taken into consideration, especially for diabetics.
🥦🍎 Vegetables & fruits remain essential: Fruits and vegetables are key, but access and affordability are rarely addressed.
Gut health and fermented food new focus is placed on the gut microbiome with recommendations for fermented food like sauerkraut kimchi Kiefer and miso to support gut flora.
Vague alcohol guidelines: specific daily drink limits (previously one for women and two for men) have been removed in favor of a general suggestions to “consume less alcohol for better overall health”
The guidelines are not all bad, it’s definitely going toward the right direction, but it is not one size fit all especially for people with different chronic conditions.

美國最新飲食指南剛剛發布, 指南再次啟用了膳食金字塔, 只不過這次是倒置的。
以下是更新後的指南重點:
🥩 優先攝取高質量蛋白質:建議每日攝取 1.2-1.6 克/公斤體重的蛋白質, 以支持肌肉生長, 新陳代謝, 血糖穩定和飽腹感。然而, 並非所有人都適合攝取更多蛋白質,尤其是腎臟病患者。
🥑 指南鼓勵攝取健康脂肪和全脂乳製品:建議食用酪梨, 富含 Omega-3 的海鮮和橄欖油, 同時也接受奶油或牛油, 以及不添加糖的全脂乳製品, 並減少食用植物油。當然, 並非所有人都能耐受乳製品, 對於高膽固醇患者來說, 地中海飲食對心臟健康的益處仍有更多證據支持。
🚫 指南建議避免食用超加工食品:應避免食用高鹽, 高糖和高添加劑的超加工食品。
🍭 減少添加糖的攝取:每餐添加糖攝取量不超過 10 克。限制食用含有人工香料, 色素, 防腐劑和低熱量非營養性甜味劑的食品和飲料。減少添加糖的攝取固然重要, 但亦要優先選擇富含膳食纖維的食物。
🌾 全穀物優於精緻碳水化合物:全穀物有益於心臟健康, 血糖控制和腸道健康, 但膳食纖維的重要性卻常被忽略。此外, 升糖指數(GI)也常常被忽略, 尤其對於糖尿病患者而言。
🥦🍎 蔬菜水果仍然必不可少:水果和蔬菜至關重要,但獲取途徑和價格卻很少被提及。
腸道健康和發酵食品:新的焦點放在腸道微生物群上,建議食用酸菜, 泡菜, 克菲爾和味噌等發酵食品來支持腸道菌叢。
酒精攝取量指南模糊不清:先前針對女性和男性設定的每日飲酒量上限(每天一杯, 每人兩杯)已被取消, 取而代之的是「為了整體健康, 減少飲酒」的籠統建議。
這些指南並非完美, 它們無疑朝著正確的方向發展, 但 如果你有慢性疾病, 還是需要個人化的建議

The 3 Biggest Lies About Type 2 Diabetes 關於二型糖尿病的3個最大謊言

Managing your blood sugar is hard enough. The myths around it make it even harder. Here are three common misconceptions that stop people from getting better control over their blood sugar and what the science actually says:
❌ “I can’t eat fruits.”
✔️ You can enjoy fruit. Eating small amount of low Glycemic Index (GI) fruits such as berries, stone fruits, and citrus) is totally okay. Also, pairing fruit with meals or protein helps keep blood sugar steadier, and the fiber in whole fruits actually supports better glucose control.
❌ “I have to cut out all carbs for my diabetes.”
✔️ You don’t need to eliminate carbs completely from your diet. Carbohydrates affect blood sugar, but the type, portion, the order you eat them, and what you do afterward all matters. Choosing fiber-rich carbs and pairing them with protein and healthy fats helps prevent spikes. Also, insulin resistance is the true root cause of type 2 diabetes, which is caused by too much saturated fat, not carbohydrates alone.
❌ “Type 2 Diabetes can’t be reversed.”
✔️ While diabetes isn’t cured overnight, many people significantly improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity through sustainable lifestyle changes. With consistent habits and medical guidance, A1c levels can improve, medications may be reduced, and energy can return. I was able to successfully help many clients lower their A1c from 10+ down to less than 6. So it’s definitely doable!

控制血糖已經夠難了。而圍繞血糖的種種誤解更是雪上加霜。以下是三個常見的誤解, 它們阻礙人們更好地控制血糖, 而科學的真相是這樣的:
❌ “我不能吃水果。”
✔️ 你可以享用水果。少量食用低升糖指數(GI)的水果 (例如莓果, 桃子, 杏和柑橘類水果) 是可以吃的。此外, 水果餐後吃或配搭蛋白質類食物一起吃, 有助於保持血糖穩定, 而且水果中的膳食纖維有助於更好地控制血糖。
❌ “我必須完全戒掉碳水來控製糖尿病。”
✔️ 您無需完全從飲食中去除碳水。碳水確實會影響血糖, 但碳水的種類, 攝取量, 進食順序以及餐後的活動都很重要。選擇富含膳食纖維的碳水, 並與蛋白質和健康脂肪搭配食用, 有助於防止血糖飆升。此外, 胰島素抗性才是二型糖尿病的真正根本原因, 而胰島素阻抗是由過多的飽和脂肪引起的, 並非僅由碳水化合物引起。
❌ “第2型糖尿病無法逆轉。”
✔️ 雖然糖尿病無法一夜之間治愈, 但許多人透過持續的健康生活方式改變, 可以顯著改善血糖控制和胰島素敏感性。透過堅持良好的生活習慣和接受專業的醫療指導. A1c水平可以得到改善, 藥物劑量可以減少, 精力也會恢復。我曾成功幫助許多客戶將A1c水平從10以上降至6以下。所以絕對是可行的!

⏰ 設定鬧鐘開啟您的睡前程序:如果您想早起鍛煉,那就從前一天晚上早睡開始。您只需倒推一下準備睡覺的時間即可。睡前 1 小時關閉電子螢幕也很有幫助。有意識地按時睡覺可以提高睡眠品質, 促進恢復, 並提升第二天的精力。
💧 每天至少喝 8 杯水:充足的水分有助於消化, 專注, 改善情緒, 減少食慾和排毒。前一天晚上準備一瓶溫水放在床頭櫃上, 這樣您就可以在下床前先喝兩杯水, 開啟美好的一天。
🥗 優先攝取蛋白質和膳食纖維:這種組合可以穩定血糖, 保存或增加肌肉, 優化腸道健康, 並延長飽足感。每餐至少攝取 30 克蛋白質, 每天至少從水果, 蔬菜, 豆類和全穀物中攝取 35 克膳食纖維。
☀️ 早晨曬太陽 + 餐後活動:晨光可以重置你的生理時鐘, 而餐後短暫散步則有助於消化, 預防胰島素抗性。胰島素抗性不僅對糖尿病患者至關重要, 還能預防阿茲海默症和失智症, 以及延緩大腦老化。
🏋️‍♀️ 每週至少進行 2-3 次肌力訓練:增強肌肉可以促進新陳代謝, 維護骨骼健康, 並讓日常生活更加輕鬆。即使只是散步, 也可以嘗試穿上負重背心。
🧘‍♀️ 管理壓力(深呼吸, 聽舒緩的音樂, 使用按摩槍/按摩球, 泡瀉鹽浴, 泡腳, 哼唱, 冥想, 寫日記, 成人著色等):這些簡單的放鬆儀式可以刺激迷走神經, 向神經系統發出安全信號, 幫助身體恢復。

Smart Ways to Support Your Gut While Eating Heavy Holiday Meals to Avoid Feeling Miserable Afterward 如何在享用節日大餐後, 呵護腸胃, 避免不適

New Year celebrations usually mean big portions, rich food, late nights, and eating past your normal routine. Bloating doesn’t only mean you “overdid it” or failed at balance, it just means your digestion might need a little extra support. These simple, realistic habits can help your body handle heavier meals so you can enjoy the food and still feel okay after:

1️⃣ Drink Diluted Apple Cider Vinegar or Take a Digestive Enzyme: Before or after meals, dilute 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar with 4oz of water or take a digestive enzyme can help support stomach acid and break down food more efficiently, reducing bloating and discomfort.
2️⃣ Eat Until 80% Full: Stop eating when you feel comfortably satisfied, not stuffed. Leaving a little space in your stomach helps prevent pressure, reflux, and that heavy post-meal feeling.
3️⃣ Ditch Iced Drinks: Cold drinks can slow digestion by tightening the stomach and diluting digestive enzymes. Choose room-temperature water or warm tea to keep digestion moving smoothly.
4️⃣ Self-Massage as a Reset Button: Gently massage your belly in a clockwise direction for 1–2 minutes. This can help release trapped gas, ease pressure, and signal your body to relax.
5️⃣ The 100-Step Rule: After eating, take a slow 5–10 minute walk (about 100 steps). Gentle movement helps food move through your gut and reduces gas and bloating.

✨ Enjoy the celebration without the regret. Support your gut and start the New Year feeling lighter and more comfortable.

新年慶祝活動通常意味著大份量的食物, 油膩的菜餚, 熬夜以及打破正常的飲食規律。腹脹並不一定意味著你「吃太多」或飲食失衡, 它只是表明你的消化系統需要一些幫助。以下這些簡單實用的習慣可以幫助你的身體更好地消化豐盛的食物, 讓你既能享受美食, 又能感覺舒適:

1️⃣ 飲用稀釋的蘋果醋或服用消化酵素: 飯前或飯後, 用4安士的水稀釋1湯匙的蘋果醋或服用消​​化酵素可以幫助胃酸分泌, 更有效地分解食物, 從而減輕腹脹和不適感。
2️⃣ 吃七八分飽: 吃到感覺舒適即可, 不要吃到撐。胃裡留一些空間有助於防止胃部壓力, 胃酸倒流以及飯後沉重的感覺。
3️⃣ 避免冰飲: 冷飲會使胃部收縮並稀釋消化酶, 減緩消化。選擇常溫水或溫茶, 以保持消化順暢。
4️⃣ 自我按摩, 重置身體: 用順時針方向輕輕按摩腹部1-2分鐘。這有助於排出積氣, 緩解腹脹, 並讓身體放鬆。
5️⃣ 百步法則: 飯後慢走5-10分鐘(約100步)。適度的運動有助於食物在腸道中蠕動, 減少脹氣和腹脹。

✨ 盡情享受節日, 告別不適。呵護腸道健康, 以更輕鬆舒適的狀態迎接新年。
