1. Stop eating all refined sugars. This means giving up all foods made with HFCS (especially soda) or other refined sugars. Sodas and HFCS have caused 130,000 cases of diabetes this year.
2. Get sunshine or vitamin D. More than 70% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D deficiency promotes diabetes (and cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, immune suppression). So if you really want to prevent diabetes, boost your vitamin D levels with either daily sunshine or quality vitamin D3 supplements.
3. Avoid all processed foods. Avoid eating refined anything. That includes white breads, processed meat (which strongly promotes diabetes) and dairy products. Switch from cow’s milk to almond milk. Reduce or eliminate cheese from your diet. If you eat meat, eat only fresh unprocessed meat; never eat processed packaged meat because it contains sodium nitrite, a chemical that destroys pancreas function.
4. Consume large quantities of daily superfoods. Make a superfood smoothie including organic dark green leafy vegetables, organic berries and blend with almond milk and coconut oil to make a super delicious meal high in antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals.
5. Exercise a little bit every day. Even just walking 30 minutes a day can have a huge impact on preventing diabetes. The key is to make it a daily activity.
