Joan Yankowitz on healthylivingtimes.com suggests that there are 7 changes that you can make to your daily lifestyle that may prevent you from developing Type 2 diabetes:
1) By putting less food on your plate, you will gradually eat less and start to lose weight. Drink a glass of plain water or a sugar-free drink before eating to lessen your hunger pains.
2) Reduce your fat intake by grilling or baking foods instead of frying.
3) Read food labels and check the Glycemic Index of the food you are eating to make better choices.
4) Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Keep a bottle of water with you and sip frequently throughout the day.
5) Choose a healthy snack rather than a chocolate bar.
6) Use skimmed rather than full-fat milk in hot drinks.
7) Exercise is good for health. But, if you are not used to exercising, then start in moderation by walking each day for 15 minutes until you gradually get into a regular exercising pattern.
