You may never visit Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Iceland, but you may want
to copy their diet if you want to avoid Diabetes.

If you follow the news, then you may know that the number of Americans getting
prediabetes and diabetes are astronomical and many doctors only suggest
making dietary changes to combat it.

That’s great advice, but what type of diet?
Vegetarianism, veganism, carnivore or fruitarianism.
Well, to lower blood sugar and prevent becoming diabetic, researchers
from a number of reputable nutritional organizations say follow the
“Nordic diet.”

The Nordic diet emphasizes fresh produce, whole grains, fish and low-fat
dairy. Researchers also say that following this type of diet for only 6 months,
lowers blood sugar considerably and greatly reduces your risk of diabetes.
It works (the diet) because it doesn’t contain processed foods, excess sugars
and saturated fats, while its healthful plant compounds and nutrients improve
insulin sensitivity.

Also Important:
In addition to the Nordic diet, there’s also something else you can do to lower
diabetes risk and it’s been popular in the U.S. for about 7 years.
What is it?
Intermittent Fasting.

That’s right, eating your calories within say 4, 6 or 8 hours and then fasting
the other 20, 18 or 16 hours.
Researchers say that eating your last meal at least 4 hours before bedtime
lowers blood sugar levels considerably.
Another reason it works:
Production of the sleep hormone melatonin, which suppresses the output
of blood sugar-balancing insulin, ramps up at night. Eating earlier,
before melatonin rises, keeps insulin stable, lowering the risk of overnight
blood-sugar spikes.

So, if you have a family history of diabetes or you’re eating the
SAD (standard American diet), then you may want to try the 2 strategies
listed above.
