In today’s changing lifestyle, people are increasingly falling prey to serious diseases. Diabetes is seen in most of these patients. According to Dr. Shrey Srivastava, Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine, Sharda Hospital, diabetes is a serious disease. But its risk can be reduced to a great extent by adopting the right lifestyle and diet.
Eat balanced and healthy food
The most important thing to avoid diabetes is a balanced diet. Include green vegetables, fruits, whole grains and protein-rich food in your diet. At the same time, it is important to avoid excess sugar, fatty and processed foods. With the right diet, the insulin level of the body remains controlled and the risk of sugar is reduced.
Regular exercise and weight control
Physical activity helps in controlling insulin levels. 30 minutes of exercise daily such as walking, yoga or aerobics can be beneficial. Along with this, it is also very important to keep weight under control. Excess weight and obesity increase the risk of sugar. It is important to maintain a healthy weight with the right diet and exercise.
Reduce stress and get enough sleep
Mental stress can also affect sugar levels. Meditation, yoga and breathing management techniques help reduce stress. Along with this, it is also important to get enough sleep. Doctors say that the body will remain healthy only when sleep is complete. Taking 8-9 hours of sleep a day and reducing stress is very beneficial.
Regular checkup and timely blood test
It is necessary to get blood tests done from time to time to know the initial level of diabetes. This helps to identify early whether you are at risk of sugar or not. Regular checkup and vigilance can prevent diabetes from coming and maintain health.
