Diabetes Management Tips
Rather than explain to you what you already know about the types of diabetes and what it is, I am going to ask you to consider the humble water bottle and its dramatic effect on your health.
Drinking water is one of the healthiest commodities you can give to your body. Keep a water bottle with you. Start out with it frozen in the morning if you will be gone all-day. As the ice melts, refill it with water and have it handy wherever you are. Water will dull your appetite, keep your body regular, and give your face and skin the moisture they need to look and feel healthy. Want to avoid diabetes? Try some of these simple steps to reduce your risk.
• Try a different form of exercise or physical activity. If you have been using a stationary bicycle, put a leash on your dog and take him for a walk. Enjoy the sunshine, say hello to your neighbors. When you get home, you will not only feel better, but you won’t be as tempted to eat.
• Listen to music while you eat. Surrounding your dinner table with relaxing sounds will not only keep you from overeating, it will also give your family a quiet time to share the day with one another.
• Using smaller utensils might help you to eat less by taking smaller bites. Teaspoons, salad forks, or a child’s utensil set might fool your body into thinking it is getting more food, even though you are eating less.
• Remember, it takes twenty minutes for your brain to get the signal that you are full. That means we should eat slow!
• Add a salad to your meal. This will help you fill up faster and you will not want to eat as much of your main entrée. Always keep a healthy snack with you; you won’t have to buy a food item that will be high in calories, salt, or fats.
