Execute your “prevent defense” correctly against Type 2 diabetes, and you’ll defeat the disease. Mess it up and you’ll have to contend with complications that come from chronic elevation of blood glucose levels. 

Taking 10,000 steps a day and ditching added sugars and syrups, as well as highly processed foods and red meats (especially processed red meats), are essential parts of your defense. 

The Journal of Nutrition reported that 100% of whole grains such as wheat, rye, and oats help block diabetes. Each 1/2 ounce serving ad day can lower your risk by 11% for men and 7% for women.

Eating a bit less than 2 ounces of these whole grains daily can lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Now there’s a prevent defense that really works. 

 Want a stronger defense, add fiber and rich broccoli and nuts (walnuts and pecans).
