WHAT CAUSES TYPE-2 DIABETES?

GULPING DOWN FOOD MAKES YOU 2 1/2 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP TYPE 2 DIABETES THAN SOMEONE WHO EATS SLOWLY, BECAUSE IT TURNS ON THOSE GENES EVEN IF YOU'RE THIN, EXERCISE AND DON'T SMOKE.

THERE ARE 2 POWERFUL APPETITE-REGULATING CHEMICALS WHICH OPERATE IN THE GUT AND BRAIN.- LEPTIN ANS GHRELIN. GHRELIN LEVELS INCREASE BEFORE MEALS SIGNALLING THAT IT'S TIME TO EAT & TO KEEP EATING. LEPTIN LEVELS INCREASE AS YOU EAT, UNTIL YOUR HUNGER IS SATISFIED. IF YOU SHORT-CIRCUIT THEIR COUNTER-REGULATORY DANCE, GLUCOSE LEVELS GO SCREWY, YOU OVEREAT AND YOU CHANGE YOUR GENE FUNCTIONING. 

THERE ARE 3 FAIL-PROOF TASTY  TRICKS TO LET THESE HORMONES DO THEIR WORK.

MUNCH 6 WALNUT HALVES, A QUARTER OF AN AVOCADO OR A HANDFUL OF ALMONDS 30 MINUTES BEFORE A MEAL. THE HEALTHY FATS SLOW STOMACH-EMPTYING; YOU EAT LESS & FEEL FULL.

SPEND 30 MINUTES OR MORE WHEN EATING A FULL MEAL. SAVOUR FLAVOURS, ENJOY CONVERSATION & GET TRIM !

EAT SMALLER MEALS MORE SLOWLY & MORE OFTEN. ENJOY FOODS, LIKE 100 % WHOLE GRAINS, HEALTHY FATS, LEAN PROTEINS, FRUITS & VEGETABLES, SIX TIMES A DAY TO STABILISE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS & LET GHRELIN & LEPTIN DO THEIR WORK.
