Preventing Diabetes isn’t as difficult as it might seem but you have to have to be dedicated to wanting to stay healthy and fit. Here are some of the ways in which you can be preventing diabetes for yourself and your family. 

• Avoid consuming high amounts of sugar and carbs. 
• It’s important that you workout daily not just to prevent diabetes but it’s also good for your overall health and it’s a great way for you and your family to stay in shape.
• Water should be your best friend! Avoid drinking other beverages if you can and just stick to water. It’s great for your body plus it can also help with oral health. 
• If your doctor has told you that you need to lose weight then there’s probably a reason as to why so be sure you follow your doctor’s advice and lose that extra weight. Being overweight isn’t good for your health but it could become a reason you end up with diabetes if you don’t reduce your size. 
• Sometimes it can be challenging to decide what you should cook and be eating when you’re trying to prevent diabetes. If you find yourself struggling, then speak with your doctor or a nutritionist so they can help you and even map out a diet and workout plan that best fits you.
• When we see delicious tasting food in front of us, our natural habit is to want to have a lot or go for seconds. Preventing diabetes means it’s all about controlling your food portions. Yes, it can be a challenge but your body will thank you for it later!
• Eating foods with high amounts of fiber can be helpful as well. Speak with your physician before considering this option as too much fiber might not be best for everyone.
• Vitamin D is also important for everyone because, without enough Vitamin D, your blood levels can drop which can contribute to diabetes.
• Most of us love processed food because it’s convenient and easier to eat, however, it’s not the best for our health. If you and your family enjoy eating processed foods, well it’s time to cut down on it till you can eventually cut it out completely.
• In addition to drinking water, you can also drink tea, especially green tea as it is packed with beneficial antioxidants.
