In a series of corporate Get Moving With Good Nutrition (GMGN) campaigns that focus on nutrition, Herbalife Nutrition is holding another eWellness Tour 2020 by presenting the Chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition Institute, David Heber. David Heber also explained the material related to balanced nutrition balanced with regular exercise to avoid the potential for developing degenerative diseases in the future. “Balanced nutrition accompanied by regular exercise is important in maintaining body fitness. This has become a recipe for most people around the world, “he said at the same opportunity.
David Heber reminds people that it is important to avoid sedentary life patterns or habits that do not do much physical activity or do not do much movement. “This habit is a door to various degenerative diseases that will be detrimental in the future,” said Heber.
Heber explained that there have been many studies linking sedentary habits with obesity and leading to diabetes. In 2013, more than 380 million people worldwide have diabetes and it is estimated that it will approach 600 million by 2035. Although, this does not mean that everyone who is obese will have diabetes. However, a study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, United States found a direct connection between the two.
The answer to diabetes is to improve your diet and exercise more often. Simply put, avoiding diabetes is about making healthier decisions about exercise commitments and what we consume. Here are some basic principles for fighting diabetes:
1. Make fruits and vegetables mandatory in your diet, as they can reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
2. Avoid soft drinks that are very high in sugar.
3. Avoid packaged foods that are full of salt, saturated fat, and chemical preservatives.
4. Make fiber a daily part of your diet.
Adopting physical activity to avoid obesity and diabetes should not be too heavy. Just 150 minutes of physical activity or vigorous exercise each week (or 20-25 minutes a day) can help prevent the disease. By doing regular activities, you can help increase blood flow. “Physical activity must be our daily routine from an early age. Combine it with healthy food that we consume everyday. Our welfare will increase and help the country be healthy socially and economically,” said Heber.
