    La diabetes y la alimentación: Cómo planificar y cocinar comidas sabrosas y saludables 

    New

    Esta publicación explica cómo planificar y preparar comidas saludables y sabrosas para personas con diabetes, destacando que manejar la alimentación no significa renunciar al sabor, sino hacer elecciones equilibradas que ayuden a mantener estables los niveles de glucosa en sangre. Presenta el Método del Plato para la diabetes como una herramienta visual sencilla para estructurar las comidas y guía al lector a través de cinco pasos prácticos: comenzar con un plato de tamaño adecuado; preparar verduras sin almidón con sabor utilizando diversas técnicas de cocción y recomendaciones según sean frescas, congeladas o enlatadas; elegir y cocinar proteínas magras de manera inteligente; seleccionar alimentos con carbohidratos ricos en fibra; y optar por bebidas sin calorías, incluyendo ideas para aguas saborizadas naturales. También ofrece orientación sobre cómo combinar adecuadamente los alimentos en el plato y el uso de endulzantes y sustitutos del azúcar. Además, se informa que la Asociación Americana de la Diabetes pone a disposición recetas gratuitas y saludables en su sitio web para apoyar a las personas que viven con diabetes. El objetivo es brindar herramientas prácticas, culturalmente relevantes y sostenibles que faciliten el autocuidado y promuevan una alimentación saludable a largo plazo.

    Disfrute las fiestas con alegría y cuide su salud

    New

    Esta publicación ofrece orientación práctica para que las personas con diabetes puedan disfrutar de las celebraciones sin comprometer su salud. Reconoce que las fiestas, las reuniones familiares y los eventos religiosos son momentos importantes en la cultura, y que la comida tradicional suele ocupar un lugar central. Por ello, brinda estrategias sencillas y realistas organizadas en dos momentos clave: antes y durante las celebraciones. Antes de las fiestas, se recomienda planificar comidas y compras, utilizar el Método del Plato para la Diabetes, cocinar con anticipación, buscar recetas más saludables, mantenerse activo y establecer metas pequeñas y alcanzables. Durante las celebraciones, se sugiere mantener horarios regulares de comida, no saltarse las comidas, llevar un platillo saludable, elegir con inteligencia en el bufet, comer despacio, planificar el consumo de postres, seleccionar bebidas adecuadas, monitorear los niveles de glucosa y realizar actividad física ligera, como caminar después de comer. El objetivo es proporcionar herramientas prácticas que permitan disfrutar plenamente de las tradiciones mientras se mantienen niveles de glucosa bajo control y se protege la salud.

    Comer fuera de casa cuando tiene diabetes

    New

    Comer fuera de casa es una actividad común por motivos sociales o de conveniencia, y las personas con diabetes pueden disfrutarla sin descuidar su salud. Sin embargo, los alimentos de restaurante suelen contener más calorías, sodio y grasa, lo que puede dificultar el control de la glucosa en sangre. Además, al comer fuera, no siempre se sabe cómo se preparan los alimentos, lo que añade un reto adicional. Para apoyar una mejor toma de decisiones, se recomienda aplicar estrategias prácticas como planificar con anticipación, controlar las porciones, hacer pequeños ajustes en los platillos, elegir opciones más saludables según el tipo de cocina, y tomarse el tiempo para hacer preguntas sobre la preparación de los alimentos. Estas acciones permiten equilibrar la conveniencia con el bienestar y favorecen un mejor manejo de la diabetes en la vida diaria.

    Best Practices of Integrated Mosquito Management

    This circular provides a basic summary of the best management practices of integrated mosquito management. These practices begin with education and communication and progress through surveillance, source reduction, larviciding, and adulticiding. The circular presents guidelines that communities can use to help develop the most effective mosquito management program possible with the resources available. Using these practices will help to minimize pesticide exposure to pollinators and other non-target pests.

    Seguridad para Trabajadores Hispanos de Jardineria

    Los hispanos representan la minoría más grande de los Estados Unidos con 42.7 millones de habitantes. Los trabajadores hispanos predominan en la industria de la agricultura urbana del estado de Georgia y conforman casi las tres/cuartas partes del total de obreros del estado. Los supervisores deben garantizar la comprensión e implementación de la seguridad laboral. Es imprescindible reconocer las barreras de comunicación para mantener un área de trabajo donde predomine y se haga efectiva la seguridad laboral. Use demostraciones, dibujos, materiales bilingues, y si es posible, un intérprete. Este manuscrito fue preparado originalmente por Ellen M. Bauske, Karen A. Maqueda y Alfredo D. Martinez-Espinoza.

    Safety for Hispanic Landscape Workers

    Hispanic workers predominate in Georgia’s urban agriculture industry, comprising almost three-fourths of the workforce.

The original manuscript was prepared by Ellen M. Bauske, Karen A. Maqueda, Alfredo D. Martinez-Espinoza. Reviewed by Alfredo D. Martinez-Espinoza.
