Diabetes Prevention: 5 Tips for Taking Control

• Get more physical activity – Just 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days a week can help to maintain good health.
• Eat plenty of fiber – Fiber helps to regulate blood sugar and appetite.
• Choose whole grains – Whole grains take longer to metabolize, which helps to regulate blood sugar.
• Lose extra weight – Studies found that losing about 7% of initial weight and exercising regularly can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 60%.
• Opt out of fad diets –  Establish sustainable eating habits with nutrient-dense foods that will help with long-term effects.
