Are You At Risk Of Contracting Diabetes

It is unbelievable, but today there are at least 20 million people living
with diabetes in America and the sad part is that it was possible to prevent
and heal pre-diabetes and diabetes type 2 naturally with balanced nutrition,
and basic exercise.

People at risk of getting the disease drop by a staggering 60 percent if
they manage to lose just 10 pounds by following a healthy diet and engage in
regular exercise such as walking, according to a report published in the New
England Journal of Medicine. (May 3, 2001).

Pre-diabetes

This term means that you are at risk for getting type 2 diabetes and also
heart disease.
The good news is if you have pre-diabetes you can reduce the risk of getting
diabetes type 2 and even return to normal blood glucose levels if you follow
the guidelines in this article.

Type 2 diabetes

Formerly called adult-onset diabetes, this is the most common form of
diabetes. This form of diabetes usually begins with insulin resistance, a
condition in which the body cannot use insulin properly. People can develop
this type of diabetes at any age and is usually associated with today's
modern lifestyle of fast food, stress and no exercise.

Being overweight and inactive increases the chances of developing type 2
diabetes dramatically. Traditional treatment includes taking diabetes
medicines, aspirin daily, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol
with prescription drugs.

But with modest weight loss and moderate daily physical activity, you can
delay or even prevent type 2 diabetes and lead a normal life. Lets look at a
few steps you can use straight away in your daily life that will make a big
difference to your condition.

Strength Training - Researchers have reported a 23% increase in glucose
uptake after four months of strength training. Because poor glucose
metabolism is associated with adult onset diabetes, improved glucose
metabolism is an important benefit of regular strength exercise.

Nowadays you do not have to live in a gym to put on functional muscle. Short
High Intensity sessions performed once a week is all that is required to
improve glucose metabolism and lose weight.

The strength training technique I use requires just twenty to thirty mins
per week. Gone are the days of the five-day a week program with 6 to 12 sets
per body part that, method has never worked. One short intense
strength-training workout a week will elevate your metabolism more than you
ever thought possible.

The two main components of this technique are the intensity of the exercise
and the recovery after the exercise. Infrequent, short, high intensity
weight training sessions, followed by the required amount of time to recover
and become stronger is what is needed to increase functional lean muscle and
improve glucose metabolism.

Nutrition - The way to lose body fat and maintain muscle is to have a food
program for life. Quality food and more energy output are the basics you'll
need to go for. Bulk foods that fill you up and don't fill you out, foods
that are low in fat and sugar which
aren't refined should be the ideal.

Small frequent meals should be consumed during the day each containing a
little protein to maintain muscle and energy levels. Foods with vital
vitamin and mineral supplements should also be taken on a daily basis. A
high quality broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement should also be
taken on a daily basis.

As before get the calories from high quality food but if you can't, utilize
a blender to make concoctions from skim milk with whatever additives you
want to use, just as long as you keep count of the calories for your daily
total.

Now use these blender mixtures and solid food for your daily feedings.
Spread it out over many small meals a day instead of the traditional three
meals a day. The way to keep track of weight loss is to buy a calorie
counter and record your daily calorie intake for a week.

Exercise - Fat is burned from the body when cells oxidize to release energy
in the form of exercise. When the exercise is done slowly to moderately then
the majority of energy is taken from the fat stores.

The key to effective aerobic training that burns off maximum fat is
long-term consistency not intensity. It doesn't matter if you run a mile,
jog a mile or walk a mile you will burn exactly the same amount of calories.

The best exercise by far for the purpose of fat-loss is fast walking either
indoors on the treadmill or outdoors. Other aerobic activities are the
treadmill, bike, climber or any other training gear found in or out of the
Gym.

Make no mistake about it you can do a lot to lower your chances of getting
diabetes. By exercising regularly, reducing fat from your diet and losing
weight can all help you reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes?

I guess your not not up on the latest research.

Too bad.
