The type 2 diabetes epidemic: challenge yourself to a new way of life
We love to eat tasty, juicy and greasy food, anything and everything that our heart desires or is edible. We do this to ourselves regardless of the news that diabetes is spreading at an alarming rate. Every day the number changes as we consume foods with no nutritional value for the body. Recent information just released from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows new estimates that are clearly alarming. Some of the causes are foods like tripe, pig’s feet, fried chicken, fried fish, pickled pig’s feet, and eggs. Many are unaware that eating in a hurry and not taking the time to allow our food to digest are also causes.
Advertisers make food look harmless. Then they pressure the drugs to take them once you’ve eaten that non-nutritional, processed food. With nearly 26 million Americans who are diabetic and an estimated 79 million adults who are prediabetic, a time bomb has exploded: America’s fat with a processed fork in one hand and a needle in the other.
This madness has to stop! First Lady Michelle Obama’s show on obesity and health awareness has brought this issue to light, but who is really listening? We believe that nothing can happen to our body, but we look in the mirror and think in 10 or 20 years. What have you noticed about yourself? We must change the way we eat and realize that some foods are not made to be eaten. With the advent of genetically modified foods, which allow food to be grown at a faster rate, cheaper and without nutrients, you will find even more foods that do more harm than good on your supermarket shelves. Just look at what you get in a $ 1 burger – lots of fat and calories. However, a small fresh salad costs $ 3.50. What you eat is important to your overall health.
Obesity and diabetes affect us all in some way, from family, loved ones, friends, and increasing medical costs. Let’s decide to do something about it today and make the necessary changes to begin a health reversal. Now the question should be “what do I eat and where do I start?” The first step is to decide that you are willing to make a change for life. This trip has to be yours and not anyone else’s. Then if it’s serous, go to your kitchen and remove everything that is processed from your pantry, give it away or throw it away. Make a list of good foods that are nutritious. One of the main types of foods you should start with is vegetables like turnips, collards, chard, or kale. They must be eaten daily. Make sure you have a good breakfast to start your day.
The information on how to reverse obesity and diabetes on the CDC website says that these diseases are preventable, but we must understand and receive information about the benefits of good health. One of the things you should do is surround yourself with a new beginning, which includes new friends who think like you and eat like you eat. Get rid of the idea that ‘a little bit won’t hurt’ because that’s what got you into the way you are today.
The challenge is not eating processed or fast foods for fourteen days. The results will surprise you and you will want to tell everyone about it. If you continue like this, you will see a new and healthy person. What have you got to lose? Fresh food is the only way to go. You will have great health and energy. Start your new journey today and let your doctor weed you off all those lifelong medications you thought you would always need. Yes, you can be free and enjoy your life!
