    Considerations for the Small Market Vegetable Producer

    Renewed

    Growing vegetables as either a part-time or full-time enterprise can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Not only can you produce fresh food for your own table, you can provide supplemental income to your family’s budget.

Items to consider before becoming a small market grower include time commitment, capital, available resources, licensing, insurance, taxes, and marketing. This publication is intended for general use audiences, including farmers and those considering entering small market vegetable production.

    Guía práctica para hacer compras saludables cuando se vive con diabetes

    New

    La diabetes es una condición crónica que requiere un manejo continuo para mantener niveles saludables de glucosa en sangre y prevenir complicaciones. Las decisiones que se toman al hacer las compras influyen directamente en la alimentación diaria, pero este proceso puede resultar confuso.

    Para facilitarlo, se recomienda planificar con anticipación, revisar los alimentos disponibles en casa, elaborar una lista y evitar compras impulsivas. También es útil considerar cómo se integrarán los alimentos en las comidas, aprovechar ofertas y organizar las compras de forma eficiente. Elegir alimentos saludables y comprender la etiqueta nutricional—incluyendo el tamaño de la porción, calorías, grasas totales, carbohidratos totales, fibra, azúcares añadidos, proteínas y sodio—permite tomar mejores decisiones. Estas estrategias ayudan a simplificar las compras y a apoyar un mejor manejo de la diabetes.

    Los carbohidratos

    New

    Los carbohidratos son los nutrientes que más influyen en los niveles de glucosa en sangre, por lo que es importante comprender su impacto al vivir con diabetes tipo 2. Sin embargo, puede resultar difícil identificar la cantidad y calidad de carbohidratos en alimentos procesados o empacados. Además, términos como “carbohidratos netos” o “efectivos” pueden generar confusión y llevar a percepciones equivocadas sobre ciertos productos.

    Por ello, es fundamental entender qué son los carbohidratos, cómo se clasifican, qué son los azúcares añadidos y cómo interpretar la información en las etiquetas. Aprender a identificar fuentes de carbohidratos más saludables permite tomar decisiones más saludables y apoyar un mejor manejo de la glucosa en sangre.
