World Diabetes Day 2022!

Change in Lifestyle can lead to a healthy life…

Diabetes is a contributor to renal disease, heart attacks, strokes, blindness, and lower limb amputation. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by a good diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking.

You may have pre-diabetes if your blood sugar level is higher than usual. The level is not yet high enough to be declared as type 2 diabetes.

However, pre-diabetic adults and kids are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes if their lifestyles are not changed immediately.

As discussed above, diet changes can help prevent diabetes. Continue reading the article to find out foods you need to cut off from your diet if you are a pre-diabetic.

Foods which should not be consumed if you are a pre-diabetic are:

Since packed beverages lack additional nutrients like fibre and protein, which can slow down digestion, most beverages cause blood sugar to increase.

2. Junk food

Experts say that persons who visit fast food outlets more frequently than twice per week gained more weight and had a twofold higher rise in insulin resistance than those who went less frequently.

3. Starchy foods

Compared to their non starchy equivalents, these contain more carbs. White potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are examples of starchy vegetables.

4. Refined grains

Grains, such as white rice, white pasta, and bread made with white flour, can raise your blood sugar levels.
