Reversing Diabetes Through Healthy Lifestyle

Type 2 Diabetes- one of the fastest growing chronic diseases in the world. But, it is also the most simple condition to reverse through a health lifestyle- eating healthy, getting physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight.

When someone is diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, cells become insulin resistant and increase blood sugar. The increase in obesity, consumption of processed food and sedentary lifestyles contribute to this Type 2 Diabetes epidemic. This is an issue that should be treated with nutrition and healthy lifestyle, before it gets to the point where it can no longer be reversed. If left untreated, you increase your risk for heart attack, stroke and kidney problems. 

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes:

• Thirst
• Increased hunger

If you start feeling these symptoms, see a doctor and get started on healthy lifestyle changes to reverse those symptoms and avoid getting Type 2 Diabetes.
