Did you know, that by losing a little weight may help you avoid getting type 2 diabetes?<\/p>\n
This\u00a0 chronic condition that affects how your body metabolizes sugar.<\/p>\n
And diabetes is certainly something to avoid; it often worsens into other health problems like cardiovascular disease, eye damage, kidney disease, and dementia.<\/p>\n
The good news is that with some simple lifestyle adjustments, it’s not too difficult to decrease your risk of developing diabetes.<\/p>\n
A large, long-term study<\/a> of people with prediabetes found that those who lost just 7% of their body weight by eating fewer calories and exercising 150 minutes a week reduced their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58%.<\/p>\n Pre-diabetics who were age 60 or older who lost that amount of weight saw a 71% reduction in risk.<\/p>\n The landmark study suggests that losing a modest amount of weight through diet and exercise is one of the best moves you can make to dramatically improve your health today.<\/p>\n What’s a modest amount?<\/p>\n For someone who weighs 160 pounds, 7% weight loss amounts to about 11 pounds.<\/p>\n You can lose that in two or three weeks of fairly easy lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n For someone weighing 280 pounds, that’s about 20 pounds to reap the diabetes prevention effects, according to the study.<\/p>\n Here are our favourite healthy recipes that may help you achieve your goal:<\/p>\n\t\n \n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.healthysuppliesshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10778-pq6tdg.jpg?fit=400%2C400&ssl=1\")
