LOWER YOUR RISK OF DIABETES

Many people think they need to lose tons of weight to lower their risk for diabetes but actually, just losing ten or fifteen pounds can greatly reduce your risk even if you do not exercise. So, it is recommended that you pay close attention to the calories you are eating and where you may need to cut back in order to lower your risk even more. Also, it has been shown that eating greens such as a salad before eating your main meal can help control your blood sugar levels and in turn reduce your risk of getting diabetes.
It is also important to exercise whenever possible even if you do not lose weight. You will feel and be healthier and lower your risk of diabetes and other diseases. Try walking instead of driving and standing instead of sitting. This will help you feel better, keep your blood vessels healthier and keep you happier.
