It is one of the bitter truths of a sweet life. Diabetes is
one of most prevalent diseases in today’s time. It is now crucial to act than
to think. There is great hope and with lifestyle modifications we can stall the
onset of Type 2 diabetes.
We can blame partly on the environment we live in, and
largely on our emerging unhealthy lifestyle. It is no wonder to call diabetes a
‘lifestyle’ disease. In today’s stressed life, we are so obsessed to achieving
everything in a short span of time. And, that is one of the reasons why we always
feel stressed. Besides, consumption of unhealthy food that contains high amount
of fat and less fiber has made things worse to a greater extent.
Type 2 diabetes and
its occurrence
Type 2 diabetes can occur at any
age. This type of diabetes occurs when there is excess of sugar and cholesterol
in the body. This type of diabetes is strongly associated with high B.P, high
cholesterol and an apple body shape which is characterized by the accumulation
of excessive weight around the waist.
This is the most common form of diabetes across the world. Though type 2
diabetes usually affects adult people, many new cases have been found where
younger people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Young people who are
overweight or obese are more vulnerable to such type of disease.
Physical exercise and balanced diet – the most effective solutions
With our hectic life schedule, we
want to eat just anything to satisfy our appetite. Well, this habit is not just
unhealthy it leads to several problems including diabetes. If we really want to
avoid this disease then we will have to stick to a balanced diet. Even though
we are so busy in our lives, we can manage our time. Say not to junk food and
never skip your breakfast. Eat more green veggies, fiber rich foods including
seasonal fruits, dry fruits, etc. Exercise can effectively improve insulin
efficiency, and thus control blood sugar levels. In addition, exercise provides
inner strength to the body and muscles.
Prevention is better than cure
Even though a person is diagnosed
with borderline or pre-diabetes, he or she can prevent diabetes with lifestyle
changes. Lifestyle changes mean, we have to change our bad habits such as late
night sleep, smoking, drinking excess alcohols and sedentary lifestyle. If we
control on each of the things mentioned, we can sure prevent diabetes. In
addition, physical exercise is the most important aspect.
