A Natural Path You Can Take!

There are different types of diabetes; the three most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Strong international evidence shows diabetes prevention programs can help prevent type 2 diabetes in up to 58 per cent of cases. 

Although type 1 cannot be prevented, you can do a lot to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.

People at risk of type 2 diabetes can delay and even prevent the condition by:

• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Regular physical activity
• Making healthy food choices
• Managing blood pressure
• Managing cholesterol levels

Now let’s dive into how alternative medicine can help you prevent type 2 diabetes and take a more natural path!

Maintaining a healthy weight

Our Naturopaths Say: Designed to replace one or two meals per day to make weight loss quicker, easier and healthier.

If you have pre-diabetes, losing 5–10% of your current body weight can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes. For people with type 2 diabetes, being overweight can make it harder to manage blood glucose levels. So what does 5–10% of your body weight mean in real terms? For a 100kg person this would mean losing 5–10kg.

Regular physical activity

Our Naturopaths Say: For those who are new (or intermediate) to Yoga, this is a perfect mat for you. The ridged, light-tac surface provides the security you require to improve and maintain proper alignment. 

Yoga can do more than just relax your body in mind — especially if you’re living with diabetes. Practicing yoga may help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels while also improving circulation, leading many experts to recommend it for diabetes management.

Making healthy food choices

Our Naturopaths Say: These guilt-free noodles revolutionise healthy eating, being significantly low in calories and carbs compared to traditional wheat varieties, making them an ideal substitute for pasta and rice.

Follow a healthy eating plan for weight loss. Research shows that you can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes by losing weight by following a low-fat, reduced-calorie eating plan and by being more active. Following an eating plan can help you reach your weight-loss goal.

Managing blood pressure

Our Naturopaths Say: A highly bioavailable, high potency CoQ10 supplement to support energy production, heart function and the maintenance of healthy blood pressure and cholesterol in healthy people. 

Good management of blood pressure for people with diabetes is extremely important in decreasing the risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease and nerve damage.

Managing cholesterol levels

Our Naturopaths Say: Bergamot Cholesterol Care contains a combination of Bergamot and Globe artichoke to help support healthy cholesterol.

People with diabetes are at higher risk of developing macro vascular (large blood vessel) problems than people who do not have diabetes. As a result the risk of developing heart attacks and strokes are also higher in people with diabetes than the general population.
