Fish Oil: The Latest Diabetes Prevention Guidelines and Fish Oil
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently announced new diabetes prevention guidelines for people at high risk for type 2 diabetes. And the good news is it’s never too late to make a change.
In type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or recognize that which it does. Insulin distributes sugar in the blood to the cells for energy. A buildup of sugar in the blood starves the cells of energy.
Over time diabetes can eventually cause harm to the eyes (retinopathy), nerves (neuropathy), kidneys (nephropathy) and heart (cardiovascular disease). However, if the disease is effectively managed, type 2 diabetics can live long, healthy lives.
The main causes of diabetes, along with age, are obesity and inactivity. Since you can’t do anything about your age the ADA recommends you begin with managing your diet and getting more exercise – two areas of your life you do have some control over.
The ADA suggest you follow a healthy low fat, low glycemic eating plan that includes salmon or other fatty fish (not fried) instead of red meat at least twice a week, low fat dairy, whole grains rather than white bread and pasta, beans and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eliminate as much fat from your diet as possible, particularly trans fats which are found primarily in baked goods – crackers, cookies, etc. The ADA also recommends you keep your daily cholesterol intake to 200 mgs.
Eating this way will help you lose some weight and just losing 7% of your total weight can greatly reduce your risk of diabetes. This eating plan will also help you maintain a healthier weight. Getting more exercise is another very good idea, However, it’s not necessary for you to run marathons. A brisk half hour walk five days a week will do just fine.
Over 20 million people in the U.S. have diabetes and that number could double since another 40 million people are estimated to have undiagnosed pre-diabetes. If you would rather not be one of these statistics, it’s not too late to change some of your lifestyle choices.
