Fret not, however! You can prevent diabetes from entering and wrecking your lifestyle as you know it.

Preventing diabetes is not at all difficult and a few positive lifestyle changes will go a long way as far as prevention is concerned.

Exercise

It is so so so important to not be a couch potato and exercise for a decent amount of time everyday!

Exercising can be anything – playing with your kids, swimming, yoga, playing a sport or even just going for a walk everyday.

Exercising doesn’t necessarily mean sweating it out at the gym; it could be anything that doesn’t involve just sitting idly!

So move your back off the couch if it tends to stay there for too long and start exercising regularly to keep illnesses away.

Eat Healthy

Food – not just things to satisfy cravings but the means of changing your life. This is something we, at Scientific Nutrition, firmly believe in.

Of course foods satisfy your natural cravings and have the ability to tickle and arouse your taste buds, but it can do a lot more than this!

A man is what he eats – so eating healthy will make you healthy.

Start eating more veggies, fruits and reduce the consumption of unnatural foods or processed foods and you would have done well for yourself.

Eat Less And Eat More

Confused?

What we mean is eat smaller portions and eat more frequently.

This is a very common advice given to diabetics so that their sugar levels don’t spike or plummet.

But this is generally a good thing to follow.

It prevents your from staying hungry, overeating and helps considerably in losing weight.

Stop Smoking, Seriously!

If you smoke, let me say this to your face – You are the most selfish person ever!

The consumption of carcinogenic (cancer-causing) tobacco and the addiction to nicotine are the worst things you can possibly do.

Smoking isn’t only damaging your lungs and your entire system, but also the systems of each and everyone around you.

So Stop Smoking – for the complete betterment of everyone!

An occasional glass of wine doesn’t hurt

A connection between the prevention of not only diabetes but also heart diseases has been established.

However, if you are not in to drinking any sort of alcohol, let this not be an encouragement to start! 😛

And we all know what happens what when you lose the count of pegs of whiskey you have had, right?

So avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and alcohol addiction. Drinking occasionally is absolutely fine.

So follow these tips and keep yourself and your family away from Diabetes.
