Lowering the Risks of Type 2 Diabetes

This November, let us learn more about a common disease that may sound familiar to all of us – diabetes.

Did you know that diabetes is divided into two types? Type 1 diabetes happens when the body cannot produce insulin, while type 2 happens when there is insufficient proper insulin produced. Type 2 diabetes is the more common category. And because this disease can lead to further health complications, understanding its prevalence and risk factors can help you avoid or reduce the chances of acquiring one.

There are different diabetes prevention programs, and here are the highlights that may reduce your risks of developing type 2 diabetes.

Normal weight range
Are you within the normal weight expected for your age or body type? Diabetes has a higher chance of occurrence for people exceeding their normal weight ranges. To reduce your risk, aim to lower your excess weight. Manage your pounds or kilograms and stay within the healthy zone.

Regular physical activities
Do you perform physical exercises, or are you engaged in physical activities that work your bone and muscles? Regular exercises keep your body healthy. If you are not physically active, consult your physician on the best strategy to start getting more active. Remember to start slowly to avoid risks to your body.

Enough portions from the right food groups
Are you eating the right healthy meals in the appropriate serving size? Managing health and nutrition is about quality and quantity. Excess on both ends cannot do any good. By maintaining the right portions, you ensure you are eating enough without risking excess weight gain.
