Pre-diabetic adults are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes however, they can often stop it from progressing further with the correct lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>Consuming healthier foods, increasing physical activity, and losing extra weight may help avoid future health complications, like nerve, kidney, and heart damage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Three Tips To Help Seniors Can Prevent Diabetes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #1. Physical Activity: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Physical activity may help someone lose weight and lower blood sugar, reducing the need for medications. <em>Aerobic exercise and strength training<\/em> are recommended for increasing muscle strength and reducing joint pain. <em>Group swim classes<\/em> can include cardio, strength and endurance and cause less stress on stiff joints. Of course, <em>walking<\/em> is always free and can be more fun with a walking buddy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">It\u2019s recommended that seniors exercise 150 minutes per week. When broken down into smaller times, that&#8217;s like 30 minutes 5 times a week. If you\u2019re looking for active senior fitness or exercise programs, start with your doctor\u2019s approval and then get started by calling a local community or senior center for info.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #2. Lose the Extra Weight: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Diabetes may be prevented with diet and extra weight loss. Start a recommended diet by speaking with your doctor or nutritionist about food for weight loss.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #3. Make Healthier Food Choices: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Food is thy medicine! What you consume impacts your overall health. Start developing healthier habits now. Learn to recognize normal portion sizes, which foods have more fibre, and limit or remove sugary and salty foods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Increase water intake by replacing juice and soda with fresh water that includes citrus fruits, berries, cucumber slices or sprigs of mint. Know what whole foods are and add fruit and vegetables to your daily diet, but keep from buying or eating foods with longer ingredient lists. Those long lists are sure signs that they aren\u2019t healthy choices and are filled with additives, preservatives, and chemicals.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
