Pre diabetes treatment
in 3 easy steps

Pre diabetes treatment is very simple and can be done in three easy steps.

Well it is easier said than done. I know that whatever involves behavioural changes is sometimes next to impossible to do.

However the secret to getting it done is to follow the lead of little kids and make it fun.

Now for the Pre diabetes treatment in 3 easy steps:

STEP 1:

Healthy eating:

In the modern society that we are living in where everything is so fast with ready cooked meals and everything else already done.

It is hard to go back to the basics and eat only all natural foods.

However, that is exactly what we have to do if we want to eat healthy.

Healthy eating involves getting the freshest ingredients and preparing the meals from scratch.

That way you know that only the best ingredients that are of great nutritional value are included.

My friend once told me that he only eats foods that he can recognise on supermarket shelves and can pronounce.

In doing that he will cut out all the junk, if he cannot pronounce the ingredients it is probably not good for his health.

According to the American Diabetes Association the ideal diet for a healthy diabetes free life involves eating foods that are low in saturated fats, low in calories and high in fibre.

This diet should include lots of different vegetables and whole foods.

There is this little secret I was told some years ago; ensure that each of your main meal has at least five colours on the plate.

In doing that it ensures that your main meals includes a variety of foods and are well balanced (this is just a rough guide- always follow the advice of your licensed health care professional).

STEP 2:

Exercise / Physical Activity

As a result of numerous studies carried out it was identified that by doing only thirty minutes of exercise or physical activity per day you will reduce the level of bad cholesterol (low density cholesterol) and increase the level of good cholesterol (high density cholesterol)in your blood.

Exercise also lowers your risk of heart disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Physical activety is also helpful to prevent atherosclerosis in diabetics.

Exercise does not have to involve going to the gym. It could simply be just dancing while you do your house work.

If you are a bit more sophisticated you could do tai chi, salsa or simply join a top end gym.

The important thing about doing exercises is that you should make it fun.

If it is fun you will enjoy yourself and be willing to continue doing it and receiving the benefits.

STEP 3

Lose excess weight

Any weight loss is good if you are overweight (as long as it is not too rapid a weight loss).

In a study, of overweight pre-diabetic participants, called the Diabetes Prevention Program it was revealed that participants who lost 5 to 7% of their body weight cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% (this weight loss was in association with a healthy diet of course).

It was also revealed that weight loss was the main predictor of reduced risk for developing diabetes. How does this work?

It is believed that weight loss and physical activity lower the risk of diabetes by improving the body’s ability to use insulin and process glucose.

Losing weight has other benefits like making you look fabulous, feel great and even improve your self confidence.

Pre Diabetes treatment Conclusion:

In a report by The New England Journal of Medicine, it was demonstrated that 91 percent of all cases of Type 2 diabetes could be prevented through healthy lifestyle changes and the introduction of a well balanced diet.
