Three ways to keep diabetes at bay
Posted on Oct 26th 2007 7:00AM by Jacki DonaldsonDiabetes can be prevented. Do you know how? Surprise: Diet and exercise.
According to the website HealthyUpdates.com, about 54 million American adults have pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered diabetes. These people can prevent their conditions from evolving into type 2 diabetes by employing these three strategies.
1. Eating right. Studies show an increase in fiber, whole grains, and cereal can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
2. Moving. Exercise can reduce insulin resistance.
3. Losing Weight. Exercise plus weight loss cuts the risk of developing diabetes, says data from the National Institutes of Health's Diabetes Prevention Program. It only takes a loss of four to six percent of body weight to make a difference.
