Diabetes Prevention
Many medical professionals think that changing one’s lifestyle can help avoid Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
Healthy lifestyle choices can cut the risk of Type 2 diabetes in half, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Here’s how:
Healthy diet: Drink lots of water and eat a well-balanced diet rich in veggies, whole grains, and lean meats.
Frequent physical activity: Try to get in at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.
Keep your weight in check: Try to maintain a healthy weight. Even a little weight loss can lower your risk if you are overweight. Steer clear of alcohol and tobacco: Steer clear of or use these substances sparingly.
