Type 2 diabetes has become one of the most serious health issues in our country. The unfortunate thing is that it is completely preventable.
Even the president had something to say.
Fast-food options have increased in variety and prevalence. Corporate food finds more ways to make things cheaper with lower quality ingredients. Technology advances have given us an excuse from being more active. And now we see more people struggling with their weight than ever before - including our children.
It is not enough to exercise anymore. We have to understand what food is and how it effects our bodies. We have to understand what food choices to make. We have to care about our health.
Otherwise "(d)iabetes will strike you or someone you love. Unless you strike first," according to the 2011 campaign from the American Diabetes Association for Diabetes Awareness Month.
The equation is that simple. Thankfully, the solution is too.
Do something about it now - before you end up on the wrong side of the equation.
Learn about proper nutrition.
Learn about your body and what it needs.
Teach the kids.
And if you are inspired (like me), decide to fight diabetes.
