Lower your risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes by following these simple steps:
*A recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that having a daily dose of peanut butter may help ward off Type 2 diabetes. Just one tablespoon of peanut butter eaten at least five times per week can reduce your risk by 30%. Try it on a whole-wheat English muffin, apple, or banana!
*Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables - one study found a 22% lower incidence of diabetes among people who do.
*Avoid processed, prepackaged snacks.
*Eat at least two servings per week of brown rice and you'll lower your risk by 11% compared to those who ate less of this healthy grain. Additionally, brown rice will help you to feel fuller and more satisfied. Make a healthy stir fry and add lots of veggies!
*Try a seasonal pumpkin yogurt parfait. Preliminary research from China indicates that pumpkin extract may help to regulate blood sugar, as well as offering protective benefits to the pancreas. Just mix 1 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt of 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree. Top it off with some sliced almonds or a bit of granola.
*Take care of your overall health and wellness by getting regularly checked by a chiropractor. Call or email the professionals at West Loop Chiropractic today to schedule your new patient exam. 312.850.2225 or adjustme@westloopchiropractic.com
