Lifestyle modification: for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, lifestyle modifications are the most important aspect of treatment. Lifestyle modification involves healthy eating and exercise.
There is no such thing as a “diabetic diet” it is just following basic principles of eating the right foods (no junk food), watching your food portions (the amount of food you eat at each meal) and limiting your intake of alcohol. Read more information on healthy eating.
Exercise does not necessarily mean that you have to join the local gym or run 10kms per day, it merely means “getting active” i.e. doing at least 30 minutes of activity at least 5 days per week. Read more information on exercise.
