According to a new CDC study, as many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050. This is an increase from 1 in 10 U.S. adults now. This is indicative of the growth that is happening due to our current trends. Let me give three ideas on how to limit your progression to diabetes (make sure you are part of the 2 in 3 that don't have diabetes).
1. Exercise Regularly -- Exercise has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to improve diabetes and also to eliminate your diabetic risk.
2. Lose Weight -- Better weight control will reduce the likelyhood of sugar spikes and insulin resistance that often present prior to a diabetic diagnosis.
3. Eat Good Diet -- A well balanced, nutrient rich diet can reduce the abnormal sugar spikes. In fact, it is recommended that each individual eat 4-5 small meals every day consisting of less refined sugars (donuts, cakes, ice cream, candy, soda pop, etc.)
These three points rock the current trend and should help you reduce your chance of diabetes.
