Diabetes Prevention

Diabetes is probably the easiest of the silent diseases for you to predict.  A sedentary lifestyle paired with excess weight and the over consumption of high glycemic-index foods is a recipe for disaster that can lead to Type II diabetes.  Careful monitoring of your weight and your food choices will help you  prevent diabetes.

 

Focus on lean proteins at each meal, and restrict your sugar and starch intake.  You also need to choose fiber-rich whole grains to release glucose in a steady stream to moderate blood sugar levels.  Good food choices include:

• Dietary fibers (Whole Grains)
• Eggs
• Flaxseed oil
• Lamb
• Lean Beef
• Low-fat
• cottage cheese
• Nuts and seeds (raw): almonds, sesame seeds, hazelnuts,cashews
• Poultry
• Soy Products
• Cold-water fish
• Veal
• Yogurt
• Low glycemic vegetables
