Health, according to the World Health Organization, is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”.[1] A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep,[2] and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

Diabetes or obesity management – you can never go wrong with pulses! All you need to do is select what suits your needs the best.
We all know dietary changes can help you or a loved one deal with any health issue. Unfortunately, diabetes is rapidly turning into one of the biggest health burdens, and we have our diets to blame for that! There are many diets that are recommended when it comes to diabetes. And a must-have in every diabetes-friendly diet is pulses.
Not many know that pulses help to keep your blood sugar levels in the normal range. The carbohydrates, fibre content, and high protein percentage in the pulses tend to slow down the breakdown of the carbohydrates into glucose in the blood, which won’t lead to a spike in blood sugar levels.
According to research, pulses help in the management of blood sugar levels, owing to their low glycemic index and high fibre content. So, it is imperative for those with diabetes to include pulses in their diets.
Here are 5 must-have pulses for diabetics
