For Diabetics and for Everyone - Doable Steps to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes

iabetics and matter-of-factly, everyone can prevent and reverse diabetes. Some ways to do so we might have heard already over and over again. Knowledge is power but to apply what we have learned is another thing. At least, we start with knowing.

For those who are diabetics, they still can prevent and reverse diabetes from getting worse. The devastating yet manageable disease can by all means, be prevented by applying some healthy practices. If you happen to have diabetes already, these practices can still be of help to reverse it.

Exercise

Without exercise, it shall be hard to put diabetes under control. Exercise is indeed one of the most effective ways to lower insulin resistance. If you are just starting, consult your doctor or health professional on which workouts to start with.

Get rid of sugar and grains

If a patient with diabetes does not watch the food he is taking, treatment of diabetes shall fail. Diet is a serious issue for diabetics to manage the disease. To prevent and reverse diabetes, stay away from grains and sugar as much as possible. Grains and sugar especially fructose are culprits for disadvantageous insulin reactions in the body. Avoid much pasta, rice, cereals, breads, corn and potatoes.

Diabetics may even avoid some fruits that have much sugar, until such time that their sugar levels become safe.

Eat the right foods

Take a balance diet, one with protein, fats and carbohydrates. The ratio should be safe for your own genetic biochemistry. Start with determining your proper nutritional type from which you shall know your maximum carbo/fat/protein ratio.

Keep track of your fasting insulin level

Fasting Insulin levels should be 2 to 4. The higher it is, the worse is the insulin sensitivity. Diabetics should note that this is extremely important equal to fasting blood sugar; one of the factors to prevent and reverse diabetes.

Maximize Vitamin D

It is interesting to know that maximizing vitamin D can treat type 2 diabetes, at the same time can save your children from getting type 1 diabetes for pregnant women. It is important also that children get enough amount of vitamin D at an early age to get rid of diabetes risk.

Vitamin D can be obtained from direct exposure to the sun at certain hours of the day. Some sort to supplements which in this case, should be approved by your doctor or health professional.

Stronger immune system

For diabetics and non-diabetics alike: building a strong immune system is one way to prevent and reverse diabetes, and in fact, any disease. The body is full of bacteria – good an bad alike. More good bacteria is of course better to make the body’s immune system stronger and the better the body can function healthfully for you.

Accumulate good bacteria to your immune system by eating healthy foods such as fermented foods like raw organic cheese, natto, cultured vegetables and miso.
