Being physically active is a good idea for everyone, but it is especially important for people with diabetes. According to experts with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “being active makes your body more sensitive to insulin which helps manage your diabetes.”

Other additional benefits include maintaining a healthy weight, losing weight, sleeping better, improving your memory, lowering your blood pressure, and feeling happier.

For those that suffer from diabetes, experts say that the goal is to get approximately 150 minutes of exercise each week. One way to do this is to get about 20-25 minutes of exercise each day, including about 2 days of a full-body workout – or using as many body parts as possible that you can during your workout.

Some great ways to get your 20-25 minutes per day include:

  • Walking briskly
  • Doing housework
  • Mowing the lawn
  • Playing a sport
  • Swimming
  • Biking
  • Dancing 

All these activities work your larger muscles, increase your heart rate, and make you breathe harder which are all good for you and important goals for fitness.

As with any exercise program, be sure to consult your doctor before starting physical activity. Your doctor can also steer you towards activities that are the best for you.

The summer months and grilling always seem to go hand-in-hand. Because this is a popular cooking method in the summertime, experts remind us that there are ways to grill safely and to avoid cookout germs.

 

  • When handling raw meat, make sure you separate it from other foods. Wash your hands immediately after handling raw meats.
  • Throw out marinades/sauces that may have come in contact with raw meats.
  • Clean your grill and check all tools before cooking with them.
  • Use a food thermometer and check the temperatures that each meat should be cooked until (can be found using a Google search)
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking

For years now, smoothies have been increasing in popularity. Whether you are mixing one up on the go for breakfast, or are blending one for a quick lunch, these delicious concoctions are a great way to fill you up without adding any empty calories.

A study published in the journal, Nutrients, stated that individuals who drank a smoothie during their day felt fuller and did not eat later in their day versus other subjects who chose whole fruits over smoothies.

And while people have been making smoothies for years, a new smoothie hack has surfaced that makes the smoothies even healthier without sacrificing any flavor…

Use cauliflower instead of banana for the same creamy texture and less sugar!

Ever since the very first fast-food restaurant – White Castle – opened its doors in 1920, Americans have had an unhealthy obsession with fast food.

According to the CDC, more than one third of all Americans eat at a fast-food restaurant daily. And with more than 200,000 fast-food options, it is becoming more and more difficult to give up those tasty treats.

While experts have been speaking for years about the unnecessary dangers of fast-food consumption, new studies have shown that a regular diet of fast-food items is even more harmful than ever and is causing harm to parts of your body that you may not have thought of with each delicious bite.

So, what happens if you give up fast food? 

Experts say that you will be at lower risk for heart disease and diabetes. And you are also at lower risk for Alzheimer’s Disease. 

Studies show that the hallmark Alzheimer’s protein – beta amyloid is higher in those with higher junk food diets. And with less blood sugar, experts say that you will not just lose weight, your mood will also improve. 

A fast-food diet can damage neurons and even cause depression. 

So, the best way to cut your unhealthy obsession with fast-food? Experts say, start small. If you attempt to cut these foods out “cold turkey,” they you may experience symptoms of withdrawal – like mood swings, depression, and irritability.

Planning for hurricane season can be extremely stressful for those living in areas that are prone to being struck by these natural disasters. This year can be especially difficult in planning and preparing, because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, many places are still closed and/or have different guidelines in place that may not have been in place before. 

But if you take the time to go over some important family preparedness steps with your family, friends, loved ones and neighbors, then things do not have to be as stressful on you. 

Public health and emergency response professionals offer the following advice when it comes to helping you prepare, sheltering in place during a natural disaster, and safely evacuate if that is something that you need to do.

  • Give yourself plenty of time to prepare your food, water and emergency medicine supplies, for you and your pets. Because supplies may be in demand in some areas, you may have a hard time finding the items you need.
  • Pay attention to local guidance regarding evacuations and sheltering in place for you and your pets. Again, things may have changed even since last year and you do not want to find out that your evacuation route is no longer the route when the weather is already changing.
  • Find out if your local public shelter is open.
  • Follow every day preventative measures if you do need to shelter with family or in a public place. Respect everyone’s personal space, wash your hands regularly and cough/sneeze into your arm to prevent the spread of illness.
  • Follow safety precautions when evacuating and be sure to follow all signage as posted.
