Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest... be in health...
3 John 1:2
"Healthy lifestyle choices can help prevent type 2 diabetes, and
that's true even if you have biological relatives living with diabetes.
If you've received a diagnosis of prediabetes, lifestyle changes may
slow or stop the progression to diabetes.
A healthy lifestyle includes:
- Eating healthy foods. Choose foods lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber. Focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
- Getting active. Aim for 150 or more minutes a week of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity, such as a brisk walk, bicycling, running or swimming.
- Losing weight. Losing a modest amount of weight and keeping it off can delay the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. If you have prediabetes, losing 7% to 10% of your body weight can reduce the risk of diabetes.
- Avoiding inactivity for long periods. Sitting
still for long periods can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Try to
get up every 30 minutes and move around for at least a few minutes." MayoClinic
