There are several ways to prevent diabetes. I am not saying that these prevention can zero out your chances of having a diabetes. But doing these tips can definitely be a big help for you.
A simple lifestyle measures is undoubtedly a very effective way to prevent type 2 diabetes and its further complications:
Maintain healthy body weight.
Avoid getting obese. Here's a chart for the recommended weight in comparison to your height. Please note that your weight should match your height. Obesity can give you a lot of complications, not only diabetes.
Right now, I myself is gaining weight. But I am determined to lose some weights. So I guess, I need to do more work outs and control my diet.
Physically active.
A 30 minutes of regular activity that will help you sweat is a good start. The heavier you are the more activity you need. A morning and afternoon walk is definitely a good start.
Healthy diet.
I strongly suggest that you get our diabetic cookbook if you still want to enjoy the food that you love. But always remember, less sweets, less carbo, but more fiber and vegetables.
Avoid tobacco.
Even if you are not diabetic, cigarette smoking is ALWAYS dangerous to your health. It can cause a lot of lung and throat diseases. Getting sick if you have diabetes can lead to serious complications. So please, avoid that, if not, quit smoking.
Avoid alcohol.
Beer and some other alcoholic beverages are also not recommended. Rule of thumb when it comes to diet, a healthy diet is about natural foods. So I guess if you are in the habit of drinking alcoholic beverages, you need to avoid it, if not, quit.
