Diabetes is known to be a family disease that can result in several types of complications related to the heart, kidneys, blindness or amputation of limbs. Though this disease is generic, there are some ways in which it can either be avoided completely, or at least delayed.
The most important thing to remember is that you must watch your weight, especially if you have a family history of diabetes. Learn to eat wisely, that is in small portions. Eating only during meals and not eating all the time is helpful. Breakfast is an important meal that must not be skipped.
Though meat, poultry and fish are essential components of one’s diet, their intake must be limited. Sweets must be avoided as much as possible. The intake of salt and sugar must also be limited. Avoid eating at restaurants or basically, outside food. In case you eat out, stick to salads and fruits.
Drink a glass of water before your meal. Moreover, exercise is a must. A morning walk must be made a regular regime of one’s life. If you are in a building where you have the option of taking either the lift or the stairs, choose the stairs.
All these measures can prevent the onset of diabetes and make one’s lifestyle healthier.
