Did you know that rougly 80% of all Type 2 Diabetes cases can be prevented by changes in your diet and exercise? If you have Diabetes in your family as I do, you will want to make those changes before you are diagnosed with it. Increasing your activities can be as easy as taking the steps instead of the elevator, parking away from the building and walking. Increasing exercise by 30 minutes or more can turn your health around.
Eating better can be challenging but definitely worth it. You can begin slowly by omitting the second piece of pie or leaving some food on your plate. We were all raised to finish all of your food on your plate. Our moms said finish all of your food. That carries over to our adult life. If you can’t do that then prepare the plate with smaller portions.
