Healthy Lifestyle Choice For Diabetes

diabetes

I have a few friends who have diabetes and one died a few years ago from it. I know it is a challenging situation that requires making educated healthy choices daily. I have a moderate form of metabolic syndrome, the precursor to diabetes, so I too, have to make these choices on a regular basis. I definitely feel the difference when I exercise, eat correctly and take my supplements. I have been fortunate enough to have met Dr. Wentz, Dr. McNamara and Dr. Strand and I hold them in very high regard, which is why I include so much of their scientific information on this site.

Is there a connection between healthy lifestyle choices and diabetes? How much of an impact do our dietary choices, nutritional supplementation and physical activity have on diabetes and obesity?

Excerpt from article: "There is no chronic degenerative disease more epidemic today than type 2 diabetes. And yet it is among the most easily prevented of all diseases. That’s because the explosion of diabetes we see today is largely the result of two trends: rapidly increasing obesity and a dramatic drop in daily physical exercise. Those trends can be reversed and the incidence of obesity, diabetes, and their complications greatly reduced."

Dr. Myron Wentz' article

" The obesity and diabetes epidemics have a common underlying cause—insulin resistance. Because of our poor diet and lack of physical activity, our bodies simply become less and less sensitive to insulin. As this insulin resistance increases, our bodies compensate for this situation by making more and more insulin. As our blood insulin levels begin to rise, we literally “tip over” into an abnormal metabolic state. Since poor lifestyles is primarily the reason individuals are developing insulin resistance, it only makes common sense that developing a healthy lifestyle, which improves insulin sensitivity, is the answer."

Dr. Ray Strand's article on Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes

Here is a great primer on Diabetes that includes a description of the condition, it's causes and healthy lifestyle changes that have been tested to affect Diabetes.
