Fitness motivation. Prevent diabetes!

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. To us, exercise is nothing short of a miracle. -- Cher

A lot of people always say to me: Joe, I do not have time to eat healthy and prepare healthy meals. I am always asking them: Well, do you have a time to be sick?

Did you know that more than 5 million people have diabetes and don’t even know it? Did you know that diabetes is reaching epidemic levels in children and adults? Did you know that physically, diabetes is related to the fast foods that we eat?

Last weekend I spent with people uptown talking about how we can prevent diabetes with right nutrition and exercise.

Did you know that nearly 9 out of 10 people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes are overweight? If you are overweight, losing some weight could help you better manage your diabetes.

If you have pre-diabetes (higher than normal blood glucose levels but not yet diabetes), you only need to lose a modest amount of weight - for example, 10 to 15 pounds for a 200-pound person - to prevent type 2 diabetes. You can do it by building up to 30 minutes of physical activity a day 5 days a week and following a low-calorie, low-fat eating plan.
Big Rewards: Preventing type 2 diabetes means peace of mind and a healthier and longer life without serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputations.
Everybody can loose 10-15 pounds. Now it is up to you my friend to choose option to be sick or healthy. It is your choice.
