We have to make some changes…
According to a study, if current obesity trends don’t start to change, one in every three American adults will have diabetes by 2050.
Diabetes lies at the heart of a lot of issues, it is the main cause of blindness, lower limb amputations, heart attack and stroke, dementia and cancer.
The rise in obesity could cause a double or even triple in the amount of people with diabetes. Diabetes is often the result of poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working on a plan to halt diabetes in its tracks.
They are planning to do more outreach and educate people living in communities where healthy food and exercise is not easily available.
Everyone should be more aware of their diet and let’s get exercising!
