Bad lifestyle habits are one of the important factors in the occurrence of diabetes, and there is a very apt metaphor in the medical community, that is: genetic factors will load the bullet, and lifestyle habits will pull the trigger!
So what are the bad lifestyle habits that cause diabetes?
These include: overeating, excessive mental stress, lack of exercise, poor mood, poor sleep, obesity, etc., which are the main causes of diabetes.
Specifically, it is manifested in the following aspects
1. Poor eating habits
Studies have found that the dietary structure that leads to the increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes includes: low fiber and high saturated fat, trans fatty acids, refined carbohydrates, high sodium, red meat, sugary drinks, etc., such as fast food, snacks, fried and fried food, etc.; eating too fast can also lead to excessive food intake and obesity, which in turn increases the possibility of diabetes; overeating will increase the burden on pancreatic islet cells, resulting in damage to pancreatic islet cells; in addition, skipping breakfast, partial eating, Habits such as having too much dinner can increase the incidence of diabetes.
2. Lack of exercise
Lack of exercise can reduce the body's sensitivity to insulin, which can also cause obesity and increase the likelihood of diabetes.
3. Staying up late or not getting enough sleep
Sleep medicine has confirmed that chronic sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality over a long period of time can reduce insulin sensitivity and increase the risk of diabetes.
4. Emotions and stress
Nowadays, people often face multiple pressures such as work, life, and emotions.
Experts suggest that if this kind of bad mood and stress exists for a long time, it will cause pancreatic β cell dysfunction, so that the tendency of insufficient insulin secretion will eventually be fixed, and then induce diabetes.
The above four lifestyle habits are not only suitable for the prevention of diabetes, but also a "treasure book" for sugar lovers to control sugar. Many veteran sugar lovers know that if you leave your lifestyle, it is difficult to control your blood sugar to an ideal level even with the best medications.
A sugar friend once said:
He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 36 and was in a heavy mood and depressed for a while. Fortunately, after adjusting his mentality, he began to receive treatment, supplemented his diabetes knowledge, and actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment and used insulin.
At the same time, controlling diet and exercising is really difficult at first, and now we have to start eating three meals a day and mix them reasonably. From never exercising to starting to get up early to participate in sports.
In this way, three months have passed, insulin has been stopped from the initial 28 units per day, the weight has dropped from 200 pounds to 160 pounds, blood sugar, blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol and other indicators are all normal, and I am very happy!
This just verifies what sugar friends often say: diabetes is not a "disease", but a healthier lifestyle!
Eat more light and less greasy diet, which is also the healthiest way for human beings!
Reminder
People over the age of 40, especially high-risk patients with a family history of diabetes, need to actively participate in diabetes screening and lifestyle interventions.
In addition, if an abnormality is found through a home blood glucose monitor, you should go to the hospital in time for a glucose tolerance test to confirm whether you have diabetes, so as to achieve early diagnosis and early treatment.
