To stop or reverse prediabetes, consider the following lifestyle changes:
Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-fat foods.
Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight (5-7% of your body weight) can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make necessary adjustments.
Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can increase your risk of diabetes and other health issues.
Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to monitor your progress.
