Cinnamon Grand’s diabetic-friendly menu
At Cinnamon Grand, even diabetes patients have a chance at healthy
indulgence with the diabetic-friendly menu available at the hotel’s
every restaurant##A menu that includes poached salmon with horse-radish
sauce and steamed orange modha fillet with herbs, not to mention
cinnamon apple turnover and black forest trifle does not seem like the
average diabetic menu, and for good reason. Accordingly, the team at
Cinnamon Grand has once again outdone itself in creating a happy balance
between typically decadent indulgence, and healthy, smart food options
which are often less appealing.
The result is a comprehensive, nutritious, healthy and appetizing
array of over 30 dishes to choose from. Each of Cinnamon Grand’s
restaurants has its own diabetes menu, and simply because the food
featured is healthy, it can by no means be labelled as Spartan. Whether
one’s preference is Italian, sea food, fusion, fine dining or hearty pub
grub, there is an impressive variety of dishes to be sampled; and
diabetics who love their food need no longer feel deprived at the
thought of having to hold back when dining at the hotel.
Every 10 seconds, a person dies due to diabetes related causes,
totaling a staggering 3.8 million deaths a year, at the hands of
diabetes. Considering this, and the fact that a healthy diet can
contribute to the prevention of approximately 80 percent of Type 2
diabetes cases, it is apt that increased smart, healthy eating options
are made available to diners.
Compiled with the combined insights of dieticians, doctors and other
luminaries, the menu takes into account the nutritional requirements of
a diabetic. As in the case of a healthy individual, a diabetic must
consume a variety of different foods and in the right proportions to
help maintain as healthy a diet as possible. Proteins are just as
important to a diabetics diet as vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates.
The Diabetic Menu provides a lower carbohydrate, sodium and fat
alternative to customers with or without diabetes that are conscious
about selecting healthier food choices.
“With this in mind, we have detailed each type of item in the menu
with the total amount of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fibre,
cholesterol and sodium, so customers know exactly what they are
consuming,” commented Executive Chef Chaminda Liyanage.
The Diabetic Menu is available at all Cinnamon Grand restaurants for
lunch and dinner. |
