Dear peeps,
it's October 2010 and the month is dedicated to Health Awareness. With this note I just like to ask all of you to take a stand for a health issue or a relevant cause that you personally believe in. Unfortunately, we are living in a time of too many incurable diseases, but on the other hand there are risks that you may decrease simply by being informed about.
I would like to raise my voice for Diabetes awareness.
I don't want to flood you with pages and articles about diabetes. There are thousands of sources that you could use to read and learn about diabetes symptoms and treatment. I'm asking you to be responsible to the information you find and make sure you take an action on time.
However, I would like to share a few basic tips to stay healthy and/or to have a good future living with diabetes:
1. BE FIT: do some sports / make a daily walk through the park / stretch or dance even if you have no where to do it, but under the shower. KEEP MOVING!
2. EAT WELL: supply your body with varied food / make sure you deliver your body the complete range of supplements it needs / take vitamins during the autumn
2.1. Living with Diabetes Type 1 allows you to consume sugar, but you must take good care of your diet plan and measure your blood sugar regularly.
2.2. Diabetes Type 2 is better maintained without consuming sugar. Of course, there are plenty of substitutes on the market that replace chocolate, but make sure you consume only as much as your diet allows. A little hint: CINNAMON is highly recommended to diabetics in order to decrease the levels of their blood sugar. Bonus tip: Avoid gape & beans.
3. REGULAR BLOOD TESTS: It is recommended to have some blood examines at least once a year.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS!
TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE!
ANNA
