Recent figures from the International Diabetes Federation
suggest that 18.9 per cent of the UAE population is living with diabetes.
The good news from
‘Diabetes-Knowledge-Action’, the public health awareness campaign from Imperial
College London Diabetes Centre under the patronage of HH Sheikha Fatima bint
Mubarak, is that diabetes can be managed or even prevented just by adopting a
healthier lifestyle.
A balanced diet and exercise combo
·
A balanced diet and regular exercise is a simple but
smart way of managing a healthy lifestyle.
·
Make it a habit to take a 30-minute brisk walk each
day
Read
labels on packaged food and drink
·
Today’s ever-stringent food labeling guidelines mean
that you can get to know what to eat – and what to avoid – by carefully reading
the labels.
·
The first ingredient makes up the largest quantity of
the food items.
·
Beware of the foods where fat, margarine, cream, oil
or sugar features among the top few ingredients.
