What are the key foods to avoid to prevent diabetes?

In this insightful episode of our health and wellness podcast, we delve into how dietary choices significantly influence the risk of developing diabetes, a condition impacting millions globally. Join Burt as he breaks down which foods could potentially increase diabetes risk and offers smarter alternatives for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.We begin by examining the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages, such as sodas and energy drinks, which can dramatically increase diabetes risk by up to 18% with just one serving per day. We'll also discuss the dangers of refined carbohydrates found in white bread, white rice, and pasta, which contribute to rapid blood sugar spikes and may lead to insulin resistance over time.The conversation shifts to processed meats like bacon and sausages, which are not only high in unhealthy fats but also linked to a heightened risk of diabetes. We provide healthier protein alternatives such as chicken, fish, and legumes. Additionally, we explore the effects of trans fats, found in many fried and baked goods, and the benefits of replacing them with healthier fats like those in avocados, nuts, and olive oil.We also tackle the topic of dairy and artificial sweeteners, suggesting lower-fat dairy options and cautioning against the overuse of artificial sweeteners which can still pose health risks. Plus, the episode touches on the importance of moderate alcohol consumption, as excessive intake can disrupt blood sugar and insulin levels.Packed with practical advice and scientifically backed recommendations, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reduce their diabetes risk through dietary changes. Learn how simple swaps and mindful eating can pave the way for better health and a lower risk of diabetes.
