Many of the complications of diabetes can be prevented if the disease is detected and managed in time,&#8221; says endocrinologist Jennifer Cheng.<\/p>\n<p>According to specialists, these are the five habits that should be avoided:<\/p>\n<p>Consumption of drinks with a lot of sugar, carbonated drinks, sweet juices, coffee or tea with sugar cause an immediate increase in blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Regular consumption of these drinks is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes&#8221;, said endocrinologist Sowjanya Naha.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting for many hours, lack of movement makes the organism less sensitive to insulin. Even a short walk after meals can help lower blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates, foods such as sugary cereals, sweets, chips and pretzels cause large fluctuations in blood sugar. Instead, fruits, vegetables and whole grains are recommended.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whole fruits are rich in fiber and nutrients that help keep blood sugar more stable&#8221;, explained endocrinologist Anastasios Manessis.<\/p>\n<p>Insufficient sleep, lack of sleep increases the stress hormone, cortisol, making it more difficult to control blood sugar and increasing resistance to insulin.<\/p>\n<p>Skipping meals, eating at irregular times or not eating breakfast can negatively affect the way the body processes sugar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important for the body to have a routine. A protein-rich breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar throughout the day,&#8221; said Manessis.<\/p>\n<p>Experts also recommend consuming more fiber-rich, nutritious foods. drink enough water, manage stress, combine carbohydrates with protein or healthy fats and do physical activity regularly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blood sugar control depends on the habits we repeat every day, not on a single choice. Even small daily changes can have a big impact on health,&#8221; concluded Naha.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endocrinologists advise that certain daily habits can make it more difficult to keep blood sugar at healthy levels, increasing over time the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, writes EatingWell. &#8220;Millions of people live with diabetes or prediabetes without knowing it.
