1. Get rid of refined sugars
There’s a debate regarding whether sugar can cause diabetes or not (the opinions are mixed), but it’s definitely not a good (and healthy) idea to sip on soda and munch on candy bars all day. In fact, numerous studies have shown that added sugar consumption can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Plus, you don’t really need a degree in nutrition to find out that most processed foods like donuts, pastries, white bread, and cakes contain tons of refined sugar and refined grains, all of which can easily harm our overall health; eating such foods increases your risk of obesity, therefore type 2 diabetes.
As stated by a study which was published in the Journal of Endocrinology, consuming way too much glucose-containing sugar could lead to increase levels of inflammatory messengers, known as cytokines. Since we’ve already highlighted that inflammation could be a type 2 diabetes factor, you should stay away from this type of food.
