"It isn't about living better sometimes...it's about livingWELL anywhere for a lifetime"
Changing your lifestyle could be a big step toward diabetes prevention — and it's never too late to start!
Tip 1: Get more physical activity
There are many benefits to regular physical activity. Exercise can help you:
-
Lose weight
-
Lower your blood sugar
-
Boost your sensitivity to insulin — which helps keep your blood sugar within a normal range
Research shows that both aerobic exercise and resistance training can help control diabetes, but the greater benefit comes from a fitness program that includes both.
If you're overweight, diabetes prevention may hinge on weight loss. Every pound you lose can improve your health.
Tip 2: Skip fad diets that can derail progress and focus on making healthier choices.
Healthy eating:
When you think of managing blood sugar, odds are you obsess over everything you can't have. While it's certainly important to limit no-no ingredients (like white, refined breads and pastas and fried, fatty, processed foods), it's just as crucial to pay attention to what you should eat. Lets us show you how!
