How to prevent diabetes (Natural Cure For Diabetes)

There are currently more than 20 million people in the United States that suffer from diabetes,bringing the number to an all time high. Whn I was growing up, I remember hearing the word diabetes and automatically linking it to people my grandparents age. Those days are long gone. No one is immune from diabetes and it is now affecting people of all age ranges. We need to start making the right decisions early in life to reduce our chances of getting diabetes.

Step1

Portion control is critical. It seems like everytime we go out to eat, we are asked if we want to supersize our meal or upgrade to a large size and most times we end up saying yes. Many restaurants are now required to make nutrition information available to their patrons. However, keep in mind that nutrition information given is usually per serving. You need to stop and evaulaute how many servings are really in the meal you are consuming. You would be suprised to know that one meal that is supersized can be 3-4 servings.

Step2

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best ways to fight off diabetes. Dieting alone will not do the job. This doesn't mean you need to be at the gym everyday. A simple brisk walk after meals is enough to make a difference.

Step3

Eat the right foods. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy diet and can greatly reduce your chances for diabetes. Chicken and fish should also be consumed 1-2 times weekly. 1-2 servings of dairy per day can also reduce your risk.
