To reduce prediabetes naturally, consider the following lifestyle changes:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit refined carbs and sugary foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Weight Management: Losing even 5-7% of your body weight can significantly reduce your risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

These changes can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
