WAYS TO PREVENT DIABETES

Get up and walk. A little moderate exercise, especially after meals is a terrific way to work off cravings, and excess calories. It helps you to sleep at night and keeps your digestion moving.

Eat a “green meal” every day. That’s right! Lots of fresh greens keep you going and they’re the best for the fiber and the digestive replenishm­ent your body needs. Try to eat at least one good serving of (approved) greens every single day.
