Diabetes can be Delayed with Diet and Exercise!

If you're borderline diabetic, there is still hope for you to avoid the disease. According to a 10-year study released yesterday, making changes in your lifestyle such as dieting and exercising can help you prevent diabetes.

"Millions of people could delay diabetes for years and possibly prevent the disease altogether if they lost a modest amount of weight through diet and increased physical activity," said Dr. Griffin Rodgers, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease.

Within the US is estimated that 11 percent of adults (24 million people) have diabetes. Most have type 2, the kind linked with poor diet and lack of exercise.

Bios Life Slim is a natural supplement that can help you control your blood sugar levels.

1 Butternut squash peeled, seeded and cubed. About 5-6 cups.

Instructions:

Place onion and olive oil in a large stockpot cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add squash, brown sugar and seasonings. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Add broth and cook until squash is soft. using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients in the stockpot until smooth. Add more salt and pepper to taste and cream, if desired. Garnish and serve. Approx. 6 servings.

Katharine's Tips:

1- If you are a curry lover, 1 teaspoon of curry powder would be a great addition.

2- The easiest way I have found to peel a Butternut squash is with a vegetable peeler. take long slow strokes.

3- If you don't have an immersion blender, take the soup from the pot in about 3 batches and process (carefully) in a blender until smooth.

Keep a Food Journal!

Are you writing down everything that you eat? If not, then it's time to start a food journal! Keeping a food journal is a good tool to help with your weight loss. When you write down all that you're consuming in a day, you start to be more conscious of what you eat and how much you eat. A food journal makes you stop at least once a day, and pay attention to what you eat. A food journal also helps you to see what you need to cut back. The simple act of paying attention to your eating habits is often all that is needed to initiate change and improvements in your own eating habits.
