Diabetes Health



Did you know that keeping your weight under control, staying active, and eating a healthy diet can prevent most cases of type 2 diabetes?

Choosing to eat more whole grains and healthy fats adds even more protection. A diet rich in whole grains can help lower the risk of diabetes and also reduce your appetite. Additionally, research has shown that a lower fat diet can also help delay the onset and severity of diabetes.

Being a healthy weight is the best thing you can do to lower your risk of diabetes. Need to lose weight? Try eating smaller portions s-l-o-w-l-y.

Regular exercise alone can cut the risk of diabetes as well as keep you at a healthy weight.
The secret is to choose things you enjoy and do them every day for at least 30 minutes, four times a week.

And whatever you do, cut back on those refined carbs and sugary sodas!
