Do you worry about getting diabetes? I know I do as diabetes is a problem within my family. I personally do not have diabetes at this point time but I watched my father contract diabetes in his mid-50s and eventually died from complications related to diabetes at age 63. The advice and going to offer you is from my personal experience only and I am not a physician.
I've researched many different diseases in my quest to learn more about how our bodies work and there has been too overriding factors that help avoid or control several problems that can occur with the body. Those two factors are diet and exercise. If you have a poor diet or do not exercise properly your chances of contracting diabetes raises dramatically. Now if it's hereditary you may still get diabetes at one point or another until you get diabetes issue to everyone you can to help keep it at bay.
I personally have taken the point of exercise and proper eating seriously. Let me offer you some pointers that I follow every day. First I believe it's important to get out and exercise at least five times a week. I like to take a good 30 to 60 minutes brisk walk every day. It's really wonderful if you get your family involved with it. I find that my son or my wife like to go with me each day. The company helps make the walk of by very quickly. They will also motivate you to get out many just don't feel like getting it. I also like the difference in rhythm of the walk between my son and my wife. My son is 16 years old and likes to walk very fast. So when I walked with him, I get a very vigorous workout. My wife on the other hand is only about 5 feet 6 inches in her stride is a lot smaller than my son's. Walks with her are not as strenuous, but still worthwhile and enjoyable.
Next I really have to watch what I eat. Gone are the days when I can binge on hamburgers and hotdogs. I still enjoy hamburgers and hotdogs here and there but I have to watch how money I eat over time. Also I do try to get more vegetables and fruits in my diet. Plus I think having a good multivitamin helps a lot too. I've also been toying with the idea of taking antioxidants as well. I try to make sure it eat at meal times only and only take one helping. To be honest, I do cheat on their helpings. But also make myself responsible to stepping on the scales everyday to check my weight. If I start seeing my weight climb, I know that I'm starting too much and I have to ease up on eating a bit.
So that's how I protect myself against diabetes. Only time will tell that works in the end but right now it helps me feel great.
