Doctors used to think that diabetes was something you either got or you didn’t. Prevention was believed to be impossible. Over time, though, doctors started to notice a trend in who was developing this disease and their genetic and personality traits. We have since learned a great deal about diabetes and what causes it. The good news is that there are some diabetes causes that are completely under your control. In this article we will talk about some causes of diabetes that you can control (and some you cannot) and what you can do about them.
One factor in whether or not you will develop diabetes is your age. Obviously, there is nothing you can do control this factor. Getting older is a fact of life that cannot be changed. You can control how healthy you are, at any age. Type 1 diabetes usually presents itself earlier in life. You it is possible to completely avoid type 2 diabetes by living healthfully even as you age.
Did you know that extreme stress levels can contribute to whether or not a person gets Diabetes? Studies have proven it. Studies have shown that people who are under stress regularly have a higher chance of developing diabetes. How do you deal with this factor? Remember to relax and unwind. Talk to a doctor about the ways you can deal with the stress that affects your life. There are various different ways to relieve stress, depending on its cause. Staying calm can help you avoid type 2 diabetes.
It is fairly common knowledge that diet plays a large role in the onset of diabetes. A poor diet consisting mostly of fatty, salty, and sugary foods is more likely to cause diabetes than a healthy diet. Soda pop is a particular aggressor of this disease. Simply cutting out soda will significantly decreasing the likelihood of you developing diabetes. Doing so can cut your risk by at least a third. Other diet changes should include eating more fruits and vegetables and eating less chips and candy. After a while of eating healthfully, you won’t even miss the junk.
Diabetes is a disease that can be avoided, for the most part. Type 1 diabetes is harder to avoid because it is more controlled by genetics, ethnicity and other factors. Type 2 diabetes, however, can be caused by a number of environmental factors that are easy to control. Let your doctor know if you feel you might be at risk for either type of diabetes. They will know the best way for you to prevent developing this condition.
