Tips To Dodge Diabetes
One of the best ways to prevent diabetes is to manage your weight; lose extra pounds. Eat healthier; cut carbohydrates to lower blood sugar, especially white flour, sweets, added sugars, juices and sweetened beverages. Replace unhealthy carbs with unsaturated fats, such as olive or avocado oil, nuts and fish. Eat non-starchy vegetables. Exercise regularly; aim for 30 to 60 minutes a day of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking. Exercise helps manage blood sugar levels. Know your blood pressure, A1c and cholesterol numbers. Manage stress; stress can increase blood sugar levels. Limit alcohol intake, and if you smoke, quit.
