6 Ways to Reduce the Risk of Diabetes
4. Cut down on those drinks
If you are someone who drinks more than once in a week, bring down the drinks to once in a month or twice in a month. And even when you are drinking make sure you stick to two drinks at the most.
5. Drop those extra pounds you are carrying
Try to exercise and reduce the extra pounds you are carrying especially around your stomach. Stomach fat is also a cause for diabetes as it brings down the production of insulin in the body.
6. Add fiber and whole grains to your diet
Fibers and whole grains do not carry a lot of calories and also take a longer time to digest. They also make you feel full. Thus your craving for food and to eat more in shorter periods of time becomes less.
Little changes in your diet and lifestyle can go a long way in bringing down the risk of diabetes. You do not have to let go of eating everything, but you can eat in minimal quantities and increase the number of times that you eat. Cutting down on snacking and junk food will also help you ward off diabetes at least by a few years. Prevention is always better than cure, make these small changes now to stay diabetes free and healthy.
