Do you have Diabetes? Seven Tips to Take Better Care of your Feet During Winters (Rank Princess – SEO)

Did you know that if you have diabetes, you are more prone to feet related problems than a person without diabetes? This is because diabetes damages your body’s nerves and constraints blood flow to and from your feet. Failing to take proper care of your foot may even lead to serious complications! But do not panic, as here are some wonderful tips and secrets to keep your feet safe from these imminent dangers especially during those colder days.

 

The Easy Bit

Make sure you take care of your feet using basic hygienic procedures-Wash your feet with soap and dry them off immediately on a daily basis. This can do more than you think.

Not only does this regulates your foot’s circulatory system, but also prevents harmful infections from occurring through possible cuts in your feet.

Since you are constantly and inevitably in contact with the dirty ground, there is a higher chance that harmful bacteria may enter your body through your feet.

Analysing Your Feet

Damp and moist winters are the bacteria’s favourite time. So you might have to be a bit more careful about your feet.

Constantly checking your feet for scratches, moles, blister, etc., can go a long way regarding identifying an imminent problem before hand so that you may be able to counter the threats immediately.

It is important to watch for ingrown toenails as they are a bacteria hotspot too.

Also, analysing your foot means, not stressing your foot out while doing strenuous feet related tasks like walking the treadmill. It is not a healthy thing to do if your feet are in such a condition.

This being said, make sure to cover your foot up with socks or slippers. Never decide to wing it and go barefoot.

Change Is a Good Thing

Wearing something protective over your feet during winters is very useful in protecting them as opposed to going barefoot. It is also very crucial to regularly change your socks or wash your slippers because bacterial build-up in your feet is in a way quite literally “Shooting yourself in the foot”!

When to See A Doctor

Knowing when to stop self-analysing things is paramount.

While most of the times, seeking professional help is unnecessary, it is important to know when to schedule an appointment with your doctor so he/she may have a closer look at the problems you are facing.

Prevention is always better than cure, so a monthly visit to the doctor to check up on those feet will be worth it.

Some common “Doctor-Visit Worth” symptoms are skin blackening, redness, ingrown toenails, bunions, and general infections of any sort.

Wiggle.Wiggle.Wiggle

Don’t forget to shake your feet a little to keep that circulatory system kicking.

Blood flow is very important for your feet, and an individual without diabetes will not have a problem with their blood reaching their foot as gravity is working for them, but a diabetes patient will have the extra countering of tighter nerves that construct blood flow especially during the colder days.

Walking is also a good natural way of stimulating some much-needed blood movements in your feet.

Reading Is Not Enough

Though it might seem a little too simple, whatever you just read is not being followed by most people with diabetes, and as a result, they miss out on any chances of preventing something dangerous from happening to their feet.

Rest assured; these are all basic tips that if followed can decrease the chance of your feet getting affected due to your diabetes drastically.

The best part about it is that it costs nothing extra. All it takes is for you to pay a little more attention to your feet every day.

Bored of Your Diabetic Diet? 5 Desserts That Are Diabetic Friendly! (Rank Princess)

If you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, the chances are that you have already made a conscious effort to eliminate starch, sweets, and fat from your diet. Good going!

A few months of sugar-free beverages, low carbohydrate bread, and the incessant protein-packed meals would make most diabetics bored stiff. So the challenge here is in sustaining and sticking to a healthy low-glycaemic diet that controls the spikes in your blood sugar level post meals.

Desserts for Diabetics?

As opposed to common perception, a diagnosis of diabetes does not disconnect you from desserts. You just have to put in some extra effort to choose carefully, practice portion control and learn to save desserts for special occasions.

We have put together a list of some decadent desserts that are diabetic friendly. With these recipes, you are sure to wash away those low-carb food woes and take your taste buds on a special journey.

  1. Baked Peaches Stuffed with Almonds

Peaches transform magically into a comforting warm dessert when you stuff them with dried apricots, toasted almonds or walnuts, and crumbs of amaretti cookies.

Don’t forget to bake them in a preheated oven till golden and bubbly. You can serve these beauties with a helping of light sour cream or low-fat vanilla ice cream.

These are packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Riboflavin, and can be enjoyed guilt-free at 174 calories per serving.

Here are step-by-step instructions for the making of this dessert.

  1. Roasted Apples with Walnuts and Maple

Maple syrup is mixed with a dash of apple juice and unsalted butter to form a thick drool worthy glaze. Halved apples are basted with this mixture, and sprinkled with crunchy walnuts. Apples are then baked in an oven and served with frozen yoghurt and more of that decadent sauce.

All this at only 207 calories per serving. Bliss!

Click here for the detailed recipe.

  1. Fresh Berries with Maple Infused Cream

The two-ingredient sauce is the bomb here. Mix some maple syrup into the fat-free sour cream, and you have a sauce that is perfect for those rushed summer evenings when you want your sugar fix in 5 minutes or less.

Dress up some fresh berries (raspberries or blueberries will do) with this maple-infused cream, and don’t forget to close your eyes while you savour each bite!

By the way, this dish is packed with antioxidants and has an impressive calorie count of 140 per serving.

The complete recipe can be found here

  1. Grapefruit and Banana Dressed in Honey

Toss some chilled red grapefruit sections with sliced bananas, honey and finely chopped mint. This is a quick and simple recipe, but is high on taste!

Well poised at 122 calories per serving and packed with Vitamin C, fibres and potassium, this dish is a superstar.

If you need a recipe card for this dessert, check this out.

  1. Cookies and Cream Crunch

Fruits do not spell the beginning and end of diabetic desserts. So, for all the chocoholics out there, here is a stellar recipe that is sinfully delicious at only 232 calories per serving.

Combine some crushed sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies with chopped toasted pecans and a dab of low-calorie margarine. Press this mixture into the bottom of a pan and freeze for 10 minutes. Soften some sugar and fat-free vanilla ice cream and spread it over the crumb mixture in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the ice cream and freeze for at least 8 hours. Cut into squares and relish!

The detailed recipe can be found here.

Diabetics need to focus on eating a good and varied diet that you can stick to diligently. Indulging in desserts once in a while does not pull you off track in any way. So, eat Healthy and stay Decadent!

What Floats Your Boat? Explore Wildlife Destinations This Monsoon (Rank Princess)

This monsoon, you don’t have to stay at home and read travel books. Travel to the wilds with a budget that will make you smile.

Feeling the itch to travel? If rains are giving you the blues and you’re a fan of wildlife destination spots, check out these five destinations that are even more gorgeous with the rain coming down.

  1. Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand—the Spot for Royals

Jim Corbett is the place to be in India to see the majestic tiger. Three zones of the park are open for tourism even during the monsoon.

You can also be a daredevil and take an overnight stay in the jungle.

Corbett gives you more bang for your buck with kingly places to stay at, at ridiculously low prices.

Special Attractions

  • The gorgeous Corbett Waterfalls is an unmissable attraction for anyone in the area
  1. Dachigam National Park, Srinagar—a Sparkling Riverside Beauty

The exotic Dachigam is specially protected– a special permit is needed from the chief wildlife warden before entering the park.

Imagine the beauty of the Himalayas right where you can touch it. The pre-planning is well worth your time just to see the Kashmir stag, even without every other wild animal that is sure to cross your path.

Special Attractions

  • The Marsur lake which leads to a river running through the Park
  1. Ranthambore National Park, Ranthambore—Enjoy the Majesty

While tiger sightings aren’t guaranteed, Ranthambore is like a peek into the Jungle Book (but with fewer animated characters!).

Ranthambore is famous for its big cats, tigers, leopards and desert cats. Keep an eye out, and you just might catch them prowling around like they are the kings of the jungle.

As a very important bonus, you’ll find many luxurious stays that are wallet-friendly in Ranthambore.

Special Attractions

  • The population of wild elephants and tigers
  1. Periyar  National Park, Thekkady—Picturesque and Beautiful

Elephants, tigers, and bears, oh my! While Periyar is famous for elephants and tigers, the less famous sloth bear is equally as attractive as the picturesque tigers and elephants.

Since I prefer my vacations to be lazy, my favourite part of Periyar is the year-round boat safari where you can just float about and enjoy the beauty around you.

Spoil yourself with a luxurious cottage on this vacation and enjoy all the looks of envy your Facebook posts will get you!

Special Attractions

  • The boat safari, which is available even during the monsoon
  1. Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, Goa—Learning from Nature

You could be in gorgeous Goa and still scratch your itch to visit our furry and feathered friends.

Goa isn’t just a party destination; Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary has a fully functioning eco-tourism complex with people who want to help you have fun and learn at the same time.

Special Attractions

  • There is a special wildlife watchtower built near the animals’ drinking spot where people can go and watch the animals as long as they want.

Ten Awesome Things to Try in Goa (Content Strategi)

Goa is a diverse seaside destination for both those who want to kick back and relax as well as those who’re looking for adventure and fun. So, here’s listing ten amazing things to consider when visiting the perfect holiday destination.

  1. Ramada Caravela Beach Resort, Varca

If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, there’s no better agenda than this one.

Indulge in the lovely three-course buffet lunch and unwind with an Abhyangam full body massage, relaxing head & face massage, topped with a soothing steam & sauna.

Free access to the pool and the gorgeous Varca Beach pulls the entire experience together and makes it the perfect Chill-By-The-beach scenario.

  1. Oorja Wellness Spa N Café, Pajifond

Though the spa experience is everyone’s ultimate relaxation technique, Yoga is a calming way to get in touch with your inner self and appreciate life for how marvellous it is.

Immerse yourself in an hour of poise and once you are done, treat yourself to a healthy meal at their guilt-free healthy dining café. The course is for as short as a week or as long as a month and comes at a reasonable price.

  1. Liquid Lounge –Kenilworth Resort, Salcete

Goa is famous for its fantastic clubs and nightlife, and this is one of the most happening places on Friday Nights. Enjoy unlimited drinks, grills and starters along with a dance floor and kicking DJs to keep the night alive.

As a nice little touch, the Lounge offers you the option of hookah of your choice just to mix things up a bit.

Sounds fun? Then, you better get your pass ASAP.

  1. Wake Boarding and Parasailing

Cavelossim Beach is water sports central, and if you’re looking for some adventure, I highly recommend you try this.

With professional instructors to assist and teach you, experience the thrill of Wake Boarding as you whiz past the world as if running on water andParasail over the deep blue waters, with the wind rushing through your hair.

  1. Private Sailing – Rediscovery Cruise

As much as the beaches are endearing, the backwaters of Goa are the real hidden treasures of the city. This journey will take you to that promised wonder.

Sip on beer and munch on the snacks offered while you gaze at the serenity of it all. If you’re not in the mood for a beer, worry not as they do offer other beverages as well. So, munch and make some memories somewhere only you’ll know.

  1. Beach Party – Café Lilliput

You’ve not seen the uniqueness of Goa nightlife until you’ve gone to a beach party, and Arjuna Beach is your destination. Groove to deep house and the best spins by upcoming DJs.

Though the party ends by 02:00 AM, it’s an excellent way to kick start club-hopping.

  1. India Photographer’s Club: Weekend Photography Workshop

This is an interesting opportunity to learn how to take some breath-taking photographs of sceneries, people, and architecture.

The course is not limited to DSLR owners/users but is open to anyone with any sort of camera; even an iPhone.

  1. Centre of Excellence: Chocolate Making & Cake Making Diploma

If you fancy the Culinary Arts and can’t do without being productive, consider taking this course and walking away with a diploma to prove it.

You can take back with you a Cake Business Diploma or a Chocolate Making Diploma anytime between April to July.

  1. Martin’s Place, Navelim

Burnt out after a long night and sleeping past noon? Don’t sweat it, for Martin’s is looking out for you.

With Goan, Portuguese, Continental and World cuisine, you’re bound to have an out-of-this-world meal.

  1. Deltin Royale Casino Cruise

Gambling is a cheeky sport which is fun and thrilling, especially when the stakes are high. If you want to try your luck, while enjoying quality drinks and live music, then this cruise is for you.

The unique things you do to have an unconventional vacation makes it more fun and memorable than any old planned trip patched up by your agent. If you have more to add to this list or want to share your experience, please comment below.

Happy Holiday!
