Changing Your Diet Can Prevent Diabetes

The epidemic of type 2 diabetes is growing, forcing an enormous burden on health care worldwide. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) stresses that the number of people with type 2 diabetes is estimated to double to 300 million by 2025.

However, there is hope at the end of the tunnel. Research published by the BMJ has found that ‘changes to diet and lifestyle are as effective as drugs in preventing the development of diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance, sometimes known as pre-diabetes.’ It is thought that by solely making adjustments to both your diet and lifestyle, you can reduce the risk of diabetes by 50%.

Hannah Sutter, the founder of GoLower, reinforces the belief of the BMJ. She claims that “not only can anyone on the brink of type 2 diabetes work on preventing the disease but those with diabetes can reduce or eliminate the need to take additional insulin or drugs by changing their diet. Type 2 diabetes is caused by an over-production of insulin, by avoiding certain foods that stimulate the release of large quantities of insulin you can help in the prevention and management of diabetes. Foods which do not trigger a large insulin release are rich in all the essentials we need to live, such as Omega 3, vitamins and minerals and, of course, protein and fibre.”

GoLower’s mission is to contribute to a healthier lifestyle and is dedicated to providing consumers with the best and most natural products available. GoLower bars are low in sugar and glycemic index and high in fibre, making them perfect for diabetics and those following a variety of diets. They are fortified with zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. These nutrients are needed by the body to fight off disease by maintaining a strong immune system, sustaining a healthy heart and making you feel more energetic.
