Do you think your diet and lifestyle have contributed to your health as a senior?

Southern Comfort asked:

Did drinking alcohol, smoking, exercise or lack of lead to your current health problems? or the health porblems of those you know your age? My mother is 73 smikes, drinks and is diabetic and couldn’t care less. The average age expectancy in my family is mid to late 70’s for smokers and drinkers. The others lived to be an average of 84.

Diabetic Foods?

Roxas of Organization 13 asked:

I was just wondering what kinds of foods a Diabetic would eat? I am new to the Diabetic thing and I wasn’t completely sure what to eat and what to avoid (including snacks other than the main meal). I know that I can’t have any chocolate (unless it was in small dosages or sugar free candy over a period of few days) and I also know that I can have diet pop. Does anyone know what foods would be okay to have (or the foods that I can actually eat at any meal during the day)?

Any good low carb,low calorie, low fat, recipes?

musiclover asked:

I’m on a diet and a diabetic, looking for some new recipes to try out – low sugar, low carb, etc.  However, I want something that tastes good, with not too many vegtables in them.  Can anyone suggest anything – appitizers, main dishes, side dishes, desserts?
