Hello, friends! 💙 Did you know that you hold tremendous power to reduce your risk of developing diabetes, especially type 2? Here are simple, effective habits you can start today to live stronger, healthier and more vibrant:
✅ Top Health Tips for Preventing Diabetes
Move your body — Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days (walking, dancing, cycling). Regular exercise helps your body use insulin better and keeps blood sugar in check.
Choose wholesome foods — Focus on whole grains, fresh fruits & vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats and limit sugary drinks and ultra-processed snacks.
Keep a healthy weight — Excess body fat (especially around the belly) increases the risk of insulin resistance. Even modest weight loss makes a big difference.
Avoid to***co & limit alcohol — Smoking and heavy drinking both increase your risk of diabetes and related complications.
Get regular check-ups — Know your numbers: blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol. Early detection of any changes means earlier intervention. According to World Health Organization (WHO), many people are living with undiagnosed diabetes.
