Diabetes and obesity


How to avoid diabetes in obesity:


Diabetes and obesity are at an all time high in America. Many times they're connected because being over weight places you at risk for diabetes. I guess you could say diabetes is like the cousin you wish wasn't in the family at all. Diabetes is a scary disease and can make you wish you would have avoided it when you had the chance.

Instructions:

1:When a person has both diabetes and obesity they're really in trouble. However, there's a possibility of getting rid of both if they lose the weight, keep it off and change their lifestyle. The only thing that could hinder them would be if the diabetes runs in the family this could make it harder.

You can also be thin and get diabetes this usually happens because of genetics. It used to be a disease that occurred later in years, but now that our diets are so bad this isn't true anymore. So, you can be thin and young and get diabetes.
2:There are ways to avoid diabetes and obesity, so why not do what you can while you can? Why take the chance? After all, diabetes can get so bad you can lose a limb! As you can see it's not to be taken lightly, especially if it runs in the family. First of all, since diabetes and obesity are so closely related if you make these lifestyle changes it will help you to avoid both of them. It's up to you and nobody else to do what you need to do before you get diabetes, become obese or both
3:Let's start with desserts it's time to get rid of the refined sugar and replace it with fruit. While you're at it eat smaller portions and eat on smaller plates.
Prepare healthy snacks and bring take them with you everywhere you go. Plan your meals, keep a schedule and eat several small meals a day, never eat large meals or eat watching TV.
Don't skip meals, especially breakfast, hungry people overeat and eat things they shouldn't. Eat only lean meat/fish and not much of it and begin to eat a semi-vegetarian diet. Also, watch your calories and keep track of all you eat and drink. Eat 200-500 less calories a day until you reach 1500, no less than 1200.
4:As you adjust your diet it's also important to cut back on sodas, coffee, tea etc. and a little at time replace them with water. Drink plenty of water to flush toxins out of your system, at least 8 glasses a day. These are not habits that you change all at once, but one at a time.Changing your lifestyle to avoid diabetes and obesity can't be a rush job or you will overwhelm yourself and give up. Instead it's done by tackling one small goal at a time until you're where you want to be. This doesn't mean you can put it off that would be a mistake. In fact, you should begin as soon as possible.
5:While diet is a big part of what needs to be done it's not the only part. You also need to keep active and begin an exercise program. It's best to choose something you enjoy, so that you will do it regularly. This means at least 3-5 days a week for 30-60 minutes. It's terrible what diabetes and obesity will do in a person's life if they don't do something to prevent it. Preventive health care is the key and you are only one who can use it to unlock the door and live a life of good health and happiness.
