Best Diabetic Diet for Diabetes Prevention

No one's permitted to tell you there's a natural cure for diabetes.

But diabetes research clearly indicates that a super healthy diabetic diet plan, specific eating habits and regular exercise can prevent and even reverse most cases of type 2 diabetes.

And diabetes prevention and natural cure is simple. But following a healthy diabetic diet plan that includes daily exercise and excellent diabetes nutrition requires commitment and some serious lifestyle changes. But diabetes is serious business. And your health is worth it.

What NOT to do for Diabetes Prevention

Let's begin with what NOT to eat and the lifestyle NOT to live.

Although diabetes research is still ongoing, there are specific habits and foods proven to be detrimental to everyone, but specifically to anyone with diabetic heredity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. These are the things you should avoid.

Fat intake over 30% of calories

High glycemic index foods

A physically inactive lifestyle

Eating any processed bad fats

Overeating and large meals

Refined carbohydrates

Sweetened colas and alcohol

Type 2 diabetes is a disease of our "modern" lifestyle. While it was virtually non-existent several hundred years ago, it now affects millions all around the world, including a rapidly growing number of children and teens. So, think about it. What's causing this diabetes rampage?

Diabetes Prevention and Diabetic Diet

A good diabetic diet is a healthy diet. It's a low glycemic diet that's high in fiber, moderately low in fat – 25% to 30% of calories, with a focus on good fats – and high in diabetes nutrition.

The following foods are the foundation of a super healthy diabetic diet:

low fat dairy,

100% whole grains,

beans, nuts and seeds,

fresh fruits and vegetables,

lean poultry and omega 3 fish,

natural whole food supplements.

Diabetes research evidence is clear. Studies done in China, Finland, Japan and the US clearly indicate you can prevent and even reverse diabetes by rigorously taking the following steps:

Eat a low glycemic diet of healthy high fiber foods.

Reduce the saturated fat and trans fats in your diet.

Increase your intake of omega 3 with EPA and DHA.

Keep fat intake between 25% and 30% of daily calories.

Exercise at least 30 minutes every day, such as walking.

Have 4 to 6 small, healthy meals a day and don't overeat.

Maintain good blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides.

Do whatever it takes to reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Take high quality, whole food, all natural health supplements.

A good diabetic diet and regular exercise not only helps prevent and reverse diabetes, it also helps protect you from the many deadly consequences of the diseases. These include:

erectile dysfunction and impotence,

nerve damage (neuropathy),

amputations of extremities,

cardiovascular disease,

kidney disease,

hearing loss

blindness.

So, if you want to keep all your essential body parts working properly and live a long, happy, healthy, diabetes-free life, begin your new exercise program and healthier eating habits by pushing yourself away from the table – especially before that rich desert is served!
