Are you overweight and suffering from diabetes? BEWARE! It is very important to maintain the weight to control diabetes. Along with diabetes, obesity can cause many serious diseases, including heart attack, fatty liver, kidney failure, heart failure and diabetic retinopathy. Research suggests that patients with type 2 diabetes who lost their weight, the risk of diabetes is significantly reduced.

By controlling your weight, you can control up to 75% of your diabetes. Since diabetes is a deadly disease, it can be said that if you lose weight, many more years are added to your life.

remedies for obesity
Reduce carbohydrates
Carbohydrate foods increase blood sugar in the body, hence
diabetic patients should avoid them. Do you know that carbs increase weight too? So if you reduce your intake of carbohydrate foods, then both your
diabetes and obesity will be controlled simultaneously.
According to experts, diabetes patients should not consume
more than 45% of their daily calories from carbs. For this, you should eat
fruits that do not increase your blood sugar. Apart from fruits, vegetables and
coarse grains also have a good amount of fibre.
Reduce calories but
don't skip breakfast
Diabetes patients should consume fewer calories than normal
people. But when it comes to reducing calories, people often skip breakfast.
But doing so can be dangerous for diabetes patients. That's why doctors
recommend including a protein-rich diet in your breakfast. Fat burning is
accelerated by the intake of proteins. Apart from this, keep in mind that
instead of saturated fat, eat foods with unsaturated fat.
Unsaturated fat: You will get almonds, walnuts, flax seeds, canola oil, avocado etc. Whereas eating too many fried foods and junk foods give you saturated fat, which is harmful to the body.
Most important -
exercise
Your weight will not decrease until the fat stored in your
body is not destroyed (by melting). Diet can speed up the process of burning
fat, but you cannot burn fat. Therefore it is very important to exercise to
burn it. According to the World Health Organization, at least 300 minutes of
exercise a week is necessary for every person. According to this, you must do
at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. In these exercises, you can do aerobics,
strength training, cardio etc. If you can't do any of these, then walk 40
minutes daily at a fast pace. This too will prove beneficial for you.
