Dr. Carlos Jaramillo: Did you know that there are effective strategies to prevent diabetes, a disease that for a long time was considered unavoidable and linked solely to genetics? Contrary to what we have often been taught, type 2 diabetes is preventable and not necessarily a fate sealed by our genes. Below, we explore six fundamental steps to avoid this condition and promote a healthy life. The first step to move away from the risk of diabetes is to modify our eating habits, specifically, the frequency with which we eat. The popular belief that eating small portions several times a day activates the metabolism is a myth. In reality, this habit can increase insulin resistance due to the constant stimulation of this hormone. Reducing the number of meals to two or three times a day allows our body to rest between meals and decreases the likelihood of developing insulin resistance. Secondly, it is crucial to avoid the consumption of refined sugars, honeys, syrups and artificial sweeteners. These products stimulate insulin production and can contribute to fat accumulation, a risk factor for diabetes. Choosing natural foods and moderating the consumption of flour and sweets can make a significant difference in our metabolic health. Exercise, especially that which promotes muscle mass gain, is third on our list. Muscle is a tissue that consumes a lot of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity. Therefore, an exercise routine that includes strength training can be a powerful ally in preventing diabetes. The fourth step focuses on the importance of a balanced diet, particularly when it comes to protein consumption. It is essential to avoid excess, as the body converts excess protein into glucose, which can increase blood sugar levels. Maintaining an adequate balance is key to avoiding liver overload and insulin resistance. A diet rich in healthy fats, such as avocado, coconut, nuts and seeds, is the fifth step in preventing diabetes. These fats have a minimal impact on insulin stimulation, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Incorporating these foods into our diet can be beneficial for our metabolic health without resorting to extreme diets such as ketogenic diets. Finally, the sixth step focuses on smart carbohydrate choices. Opting for plant-based carbohydrates, especially green vegetables and greens, instead of refined carbohydrates, can have a positive impact on our health. These foods provide essential nutrients without causing abrupt spikes in insulin levels. - Please share if you like it. - ????BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER AND ENJOY UNIQUE BENEFITS????: / @drcarlosjaramillo - BUY MY BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTS HERE: https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/ - MY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/shop/drcarlosj... - PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://bit.ly/ProductosAmazonCJ - COURSES AND WORKSHOPS: https://cursos.anialife.com/ - LEARN ABOUT THE BEST PROTEINS AND SUPPLEMENTS IN SAVVY: https://bit.ly/2ML3khs - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL IN ENGLISH: / @drcarlos - Dr. Carlos Jaramillo and the Institute of Functional Medicine seek to ensure that you always have good habits and, above all, clarity about how daily decisions They cause a large part of the diseases that humanity suffers today.
