How To Prevent Type 2 Diabetes by Dr. Robert Osgoodby

prevented by watching their weight, eating a healthy diet,

moderate exercise, and not drinking and smoking. Being

overweight is the number one reason people contract diabetes -61%

of all cases are attributed to obesity and weight problems.

Some other interesting facts: Overweight women cut their risk by

24% simply by walking regularly. There is a direct correlation

between the amount of exercise and instances of diabetes. The

more exercise, the less instances. Those who did 7 or more

hours a week of exercise had a 29% lower risk than those who did

not exercise or exercised less than 30 minutes per week. Eating

a diet that is high in fiber, low in fat and low in partially

hydrogenated oils (french fries, commercial baked goods) also

significantly decreases your risk. If you already do not do so,

become a label reader!

Pepper may not just be for seasoning. Capsaicin is a protein

compound found in pepper and peppers significantly lowers blood

sugar levels and increases insulin levels. Researchers have not

concluded if the pepper compound acts by increasing the release

of insulin, or by slowing it's breakdown. Large doses of aspirin

also lower your blood sugar and is an effective treatment of

diabetes, but researchers warn that that the large doses required

have detrimental side effects (intestinal bleeding, dizziness,

nausea) that outweigh the benefits.

There are many diseases and illnesses you have no control over,

but type 2 diabetes is highly preventable by watching your

weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking or

drinking.
