Diabetes Prevention

I want to share an article I read (Life Extension) magazine written by Dr. Eric Braverman, 'Preventing Diabetes'.

Diabetes, the silent disease, can be predicted. If you're overweight, consume a lot of high glycemic-index food, and a life style that is not active, you'll develop Type 2 diabetes. You can prevent developing the disease if you monitor your weight and choose the right food.

For each meal, eat lean protein and control your intake of sugar and starch. Choose a fiber rich whole-grain to release glucose in steady flow to a reasonable blood sugar levels.

When choosing food, consider the following: Dietary fiber, eggs, lambs, lean beef, nuts and seeds such as almonds, sesame seeds, hazelnuts, cashews, poultry, soy products, veal, low-fat cottage cheese, fish, and yogurt.

Consider dietary supplements such as chromium, cinnamon and alpha-amylase inhibitors, such as white kidney bean extract (may also support a good blood sugar level).

I hope this information will help you to be free from this silent disease called diabetes.

To your health,
Alma
