Living Life with Diabetes: Good Beginner Tips

Stay away from all the bad foods.

Try not to eat too much salt: The theory behind this is that high sodium diets cause blockage in the arteries and increase your chances of developing major heart disease. Another thing that most people don’t realize about salty diets is that it makes you crave for sweets. Because your bodies natural response is to want something sweet when you have a lot of salt.

Foot Care: Your doctor is going to tell you that you need to take care of your feet and that you should wear socks and shoes all the time. Yes this is true but if you take care of your sugar early and take care of your feet, you can use sandals and open toed shoes if you want. Some things that I found really helpful are taking walks in the sand. You use much more muscles in your feet when you walk barefoot then when you use shoes. For those who have the privilege of living near a beach like me, try going to the beach and exercising your feet by walking in the sand or even swimming in the water.

Get out of the house! Getting your source of sunlight is a good therapeutic benefit that I found to be relaxing and stress relieving. The sun is truly the giver of life. Did you know that the sun is a good source of Vitamin D. Which in turn benefits the body by boosting the immune system and strengthening muscles. Make sure you keep your sunblock close.
