New York, NY (PRWEB) October 20, 2006
While most people think Thanksgiving starts the holiday weight gain, New York City Fitness Professional, Katrina McKenna, claims it starts with Halloween and that this hits people with Diabetes exceptionally hard.
Excess sugar and weight gain are the last things a person with diabetes needs. Excess weight often makes the disease worse. A major aspect of Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance or the inability of the cells to work with insulin and weight gain usually makes this worse.
Excess sugar will wreak havoc on a person?s blood sugar level. Repeatedly high blood sugar levels are the cause of most diabetic complications such as eye disease, kidney disease and cardiovascular problems.
Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death (fifth leading cause of death by disease); it affects over 20 million Americans! Another 40 million Americans have pre-diabetes. Many of these people do not even know it.
The excess sugar and weight gain can be the cause of someone with pre-diabetes becoming a full-fledged diabetic. Katrina encourages all people with diabetes, or pre-diabetes to avoid excess treats, so they do not turn out to be a horrible trick.
Some tips to reduce the treat intake:
1. If you give out candy to trick-or-treat-ers, do not buy it until the last minute. The less time it is in your house the better.
2. Buy candy you do not like. You will be less tempted buy it.
3. Give out healthy alternatives, apples, oranges, raisins, yogurt, money. With the epidemic of childhood obesity, everyone should be considering ways of reversing it.
4. Get rid of all leftovers, give them to a local homeless shelter, skinny friends, or just throw them out
5. Allow yourself to have a couple pieces (depending on size, 1 ? 2 ?fun? size candy bars) of candy, but only after having a healthy meal of lean protein, and lots of green vegetables, the fiber and protein will slow down the absorption of the sugar into the bloodstream, psychologically it is easier to be healthy most of the time if we do allow treats occasionally (1 time per week).
