Physical inactivity is another top modifiable risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. The less active you are, the greater your risk of Type 2 diabetes. Moreover, physical activity helps weight loss, uses up glucose as energy and makes the cells more sensitive to insulin.

A 2011 study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that ceasing regular physical activity impairs glycemic control (control of blood sugar levels), suggesting that inactivity may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

Aim to do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity or a combination of the two with muscle-strengthening at least two days per week.

Too often, people (frequently women) do not engage in progressive heavy resistance training because they are afraid it will make them too big. This unfounded fear can prevent them from obtaining the full benefits of a strength training program. Women have fewer muscle fibers than men, especially in the upper body, and the primary anabolic (muscle building) hormone, testosterone, is dramatically lower in women than in men. Every individual’s body type is different, and some men and women (e.g., those of the mesomorph somatotype) are more genetically capable of developing muscle size because they have a greater number of muscle fibers. However, men and women rarely develop excessive hypertrophy except through the use of anabolic drugs.

Honey is made up of glucose, fructose, and minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphate, sodium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium. It is also fairly rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6.

Due to the presence of powerful antiseptic, antibacterial and healing properties, honey is used as medicine to treat many common health problems.

Ginger has been linked to many health benefits. These include reductions in nausea, muscle pain, inflammation and blood sugar levels.

Interestingly, recent research adds another benefit to the list: hunger reduction.

One study found that consuming 2 grams of ginger powder diluted in hot water at breakfast reduced the hunger participants felt after the meal.

Health Benefits of Ginger:

● Settles Upset Stomach

● Prevents Cold and Flu

● Treats Morning Sickness

● Reduces Arthritis Pain

● Prevents Cancer

● Reduces Menstrual Pain

● Treats Migraines

● Suppresses Cough

● Promotes Heart Health

● Controls Diabetes

Although it’s true that egg whites are low in calories, fat-free, and contain most of the protein found in an egg, eating the entire egg is beneficial to your metabolism. The yolk contains many metabolism-stoking nutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids and—most significantly—choline, a powerful compound that attacks the gene mechanism that triggers your body to store fat around your liver. Worried about cholesterol? New studies have found that moderate consumption of two whole eggs per day has no negative effect on a person’s lipid (fat) profile and may actually improve it.

They can impair, not enhance, your physical performance. Skip alcoholic drinks

Calories from alcohol don’t fuel muscles. And they may lead to weight gain in the form of body fat.

Alcohol works as a depressant, affecting your brain’s ability to reason and make judgments.

For endurance sports, there’s another effect. When you drink a beer, wine, or a mixed drink, your liver works to detoxify and metabolize the alcohol. That can interfere with the liver’s job of forming extra blood glucose for prolonged physical activity. Possible result? Early fatigue and slower recovery.

Alcoholic drinks don’t mix with sports. They can impair your motor skills: your reaction time and muscle reflexes, coordination, balance, stamina, speed, strength, visual perception, and more. The effects can last up to seventy-two hours. What’s more, they can increase your risk of injury and swelling after injury.

Caution about excess protein: Many people may consume a very-high-protein diet without harm. That said, extra protein is not stored in your body for future use as protein. Instead, it’s either used as energy or stored as body fat. A high-protein diet also may be high in fat. And too much protein may displace carbohydrate foods, which are especially important for endurance sports and for weight training lasting sixty minutes or longer. Side effects may include metabolic imbalance, toxicity, nervous system disorders, and perhaps problems for those with existing kidney disease. Excess protein or amino acids can be harmful for those with unhealthy kidneys, such as those with diabetes or prediabetes.

When you consume excess protein, you need more water to excrete urea, a waste product formed when protein is broken down. So, excess protein increases the chances of dehydration as well as the need to urinate—an inconvenience during a workout.
