Diabetes is a long-term chronic health condition that affects how the body converts food into energy. It is one of the most common illnesses in the world.
Gagan Dhawan, Founder and CEO, The New Me – a series of books and kits that urge people to have a healthier lifestyle, said, ” India is home to 77 million diabetics, the second-highest globally, with China topping the list. Diabetes is prevalent in the form of type-1 and type-2, wherein type-2 is more common. About 90% of people suffer from type-2, wherein the body becomes insulin resistant, and in type-1, the pancreas is attacked by our immune system not to produce enough insulin. Even though there is no cure for diabetes, many studies promise that it can reverse type-2 diabetes using the body’s natural healing abilities. It is now a proven fact that a diet based on whole plant foods reduces insulin resistance and improves glycemic levels.”
Exercise: Regular exercise aids in muscle toning and stress reduction. Swimming, cycling, and brisk walking are also beneficial in lowering blood sugar levels.
