3 Tips in How to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes (Diet and Exercise)

#1 Avoid Sugary Foods

Recent studies show that men, women and children are eating 3 times more sugar cubes than the recommended daily dose. I am not suggesting to stop eating chocolates and sweets. What I am saying is to control your daily sugar intake. Children should not eat more than 6 cubes of sugar a day. Too much sugar causes obesity, teeth decay and type 2 diabetes.

#2 Walk 2 Hours a Day

Doing regular cardiovascular exercises is a good way to burn calories. Walking 2 hours a day is sufficient to maintain a good body mass index. 2 hours walk at your local park burns around 500 calories which is the bare minimum what you should aim for. You do not need to get a gym membership in order to walk 2 hours a day.

#3 Drink 3 Litres of Water a Day

Water is essential for the body metabolism, drinking 3 litres of water a day ensures that your body runs at a smooth pace. It also helps to control your blood sugar levels.
