Reversing Type II Diabetes With Your Diet

If you or anyone you know has been diagnosed with type II diabetes you're not alone. Diabetes is one of the oldest known diseases and with each year that passes by, the number of people diagnosed is only increasing.

This should come as no surprise, especially for those living in the United States where most of us are conditioned to eat very low quality foods from birth, that only taste good due to the alarming amount of sweeteners and preservatives within the foods.

According to the World Health Organization, there are over 171 million people suffering from diabetes worldwide. This number is increasing each and every year and is expected to double by the year 2030.

For this reason, becoming educated on your diet and what foods to avoid is extremely important.

Reversing Diabetes With Diet

The first thing you must understand is that diabetes is reversible with the correct lifestyle changes such as being very strict on your diet and exercise routines.

Everything you put into your body must be for the purpose of helping you to recover. The times of enjoying a hamburger, french fries and soda are over.

Fortunately, finding a good diet to follow for diabetes is much easier than you think. However, following a diet plan can be frustrating. One only needs to stick to some of the most common, readily available foods such as plenty of organic fruits and vegetables.

However, most of us know plenty about which foods are healthy for us, but which foods should we avoid?

Soda Pop

By far the most important food to avoid. Under no circumstances should anyone be drinking soda pop, especially those with diabetes.

Soda pop is nothing but poison to your body. The centers for disease control have said diabetes is an epidemic, so then why aren't the soda pop companies aware of this? Do they even care?

Soda contains more sugar than any other beverage. It's main ingredients other than water is nothing but sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

Avoid these beverages like the plague. Stick to water, fresh organic juices and avoid alcohol at all costs.

All Foods Containing High Fructose Corn Syrup

Next time you're at the grocery store, take a look at the ingredients list of everything you want to buy. Almost everything these days is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. And we wonder why diabetes is increasing each and every year?

If it has this ingredient, don't buy it. It's so popular because it is the cheapest way for companies to sweeten their products, it's also extremely addictive which is why it can be so difficult for people to stop drinking soda.
