Living With Diabetes
Lifestyle Changes For People Suffering From Diabeties
Diabeties is defined as a group of disorders
of the human body to produce enough Insulin to regulate the breakdown of
the blood sugar in the human body. It's normally categorized in two main
categories– Type I, Type II diabeties. Type II diabeties is also called
adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabeties and it starts occurring
when most of the muscles and other organs of the body stop utilizing
Insulin to breakdown sugar. It's caused by obesity and environmental
factors. In most cases, it's quite dangerous because it can lead to Type
I diabeties.
There is no cure for diabeties
except for leading a healthy lifestyle so that it may prolong one's
life. After being diagnosed with diabeties, certain necessary changes
must be incorporated in one's life starting with the type of diet. Gone
are the days when eating fatty, high cholesterol and high protein foods
was considered to be healthy. Instead of those types of foods one must
take fiber-rich foods in the form of whole grains, fresh fruits and
vegetables and also limit the intake of salt.
Only a balanced
diet will not have an effect until its not combined with a weight
control and daily exercise regime. For a diabetic, being overweight is a
call to have numerous health problems later-on in life. Exercise helps
in maintaining the weight but it needs to be done carefully as
complications can occur after a heavy workout. But, it's absolutely not
advisable to become a couch potato.
