Newswise — As the busy holiday season approaches, it's nice to know that some gifts are just a mouse click or a phone call away. Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston offers a variety of cookbooks, a convenient exercise video and other helpful publications in our newly updated Online Store (https://store.joslin.org/). Joslin's cookbooks, filled with tempting healthy dishes and our exercise video make thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list" whether they have diabetes or not.
Joslin's video, "Keep Moving!"¦Keep Healthy with Diabetes!," is a great gift for people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Because this video shows the exercise routines being performed in two ways simultaneously " sitting in a chair and standing up " it is a versatile tool for people at all physical levels. "This is a unique resource, especially for those with type 2 diabetes. It also is beneficial for those struggling with their weight and those who either should not or cannot embark on a high-impact exercise routine. This video is a great tool for people who assume that fitness is unattainable," said Cathy Mullooly, M.S., R.C.E.P., C.D.E., a Clinical Exercise Physiology Specialist at Joslin.
"There is no such thing as a 'diabetic diet,'" says Karen Chalmers, M.S., R.D., C.D.E., of Joslin Clinic's Nutrition Services. "People with diabetes follow healthy guidelines that include all foods, which everyone can follow. The healthy recipes in Joslin's cookbook are tantalizing enough to please every palate."
Cooking at home can become a five-star restaurant experience when using recipes from Joslin's cookbook, the Joslin Diabetes Great Chefs Cook Healthy Cookbook. Cooks from restaurants spanning the globe offer over 130 recipes, such as Creole Fish with Grilled and Smoked Tomato Relish that will appeal to almost any critic.
Those who like to entertain will be inspired by The Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook. The 200 delicious recipes allow cooks to get creative in the kitchen with healthy dishes. This cookbook, a winner of the prestigious James Beard Award, is complete with menus for almost every occasion, including a holiday dinner party that finishes off with a Filo Tulip with Pear Sorbet.
The Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook is just the right gift for those who crave speed and simplicity in healthy cooking. All 175 recipes, including Shrimp Fajitas or Turkey Scaloppine Marsala, can be created in just minutes.
The Joslin Diabetes Healthy Carbohydrate Cookbook inspires those who enjoy cooking vegetarian-based meals. All 175 recipes, like the Artichoke and Feta Pizza, are easy-to-prepare, low in fat and high in fiber.
All of these cookbooks were co-authored by Frances T. Giedt and Bonnie S. Polin, Ph.D., both of whom live with diabetes, and by nutritionists from Joslin's Nutrition Services Department. Each book contains menus for various calorie levels and provides a nutrition analysis of each recipe including calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, sodium and carbohydrate choices.
