Baby Boomers will tell you that either they themselves, or someone they know (or have known) has battled against the onset or threat of onset of Diabetes.
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC):
“Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes. Of these people living with diabetes, about 18 million have been diagnosed, and about 6 million do not know they have it. In 2007, about 1.6 million adults were newly diagnosed with diabetes, and at least 57million adults were at risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death. It is also a leading cause for complications such as blindness, kidney failure, and lower extremity amputations.”

Reports from current studies further reveal that there may be a link between the onset of depression and the risk of getting diabetes, and the onset of diabetes and the risk of suffering from depression.
The CDC has reported that:
“Depression and anxiety are two major causes of illness and death in the United States and are associated with reduced quality of life, social functioning, and excess disability.”

Consistently healthy living and dietary habits may help prevent or postpone the onset of both diabetes and depression – two reported leading causes of death for the Baby Boomer generation and their parents.
Annual check-ups in your physician’s office are highly recommended. This way any undetected ailments will show up in the blood work that is done; opening the door for honest conversations about current lifestyles and eating habits.
At times there may be a need for medicines to be prescribed, however, more and more doctors are first prescribing to their patients a renewed lifestyle of smart and healthy diets, exercise, and overall living.
For centuries people have relied on natural home remedies to prevent, fight, and cure diseases.
There has been an increase in the number of sources describing natural home remedies currently available and easily accessible that may help prevent and fight both diabetes and depression.
If you happen to be someone who is not keen on the idea of having to take prescription medicine over a prolonged period of time, you may want to look into these home dietary and exercise remedies that are being described. In any event, you should consider first consulting with your physician to make sure whatever healthy living regiment you pursue is the right/best one for your specific case.
Reclaiming your health will take a lot of work on your part….but, the benefits may just last you an entire lifetime…Get healthy & Stay healthy…
