Diabetes. Do you eat this way?
The development of diabetic disease is closely related to what we eat and how much.
Bad Eating Habits
First, how much. Now, I like to eat as well as anyone, but as I have gotten older I have become more aware of how much I eat. When I was younger, I started putting on weight. I wasn’t very active physically, spending most of my time in university classes and sitting at a table or desk studying. I liked to eat out at those buffet all-you-can-eat places. Not good.
I finally got control of my eating by becoming more active – walking and sometimes physical labor. As I exercised more, my appetite seemed to diminish – odd. It didn’t take as much food to quell my hunger pangs. This I learned as I began to study eating problems, that your body can regulate itself if you pay attention and don’t override the body’s signals.
It also helped that I had seen my grandfather die of diabetes, after his leg was amputated due to gangrene. Others in my family had fought diabetes, and I didn’t want to fall into the same boat.
I also learned what foods can set a person up for diabetes, if they form too large a part of the daily diet. Too much sugar and too much fat – bad news for your body. I learned to go real easy on desserts, ate very little candy, and avoided soft drinks altogether. Lean meat dishes are healthier than fatty ones.
These were some common sense things that maybe a lot of people know in theory, but putting them into practice is not easy. Many can benefit by following a proven plan, with the science behind it to show its worthwhile nature.
