Health Tips
Small, everyday habits that help lower your diabetes risk.
Where to start
Food is one of the easiest places to begin
You don't need a strict diet. Small swaps, like more vegetables and whole grains and less refined sugar, add up over time and are easier to keep than a total overhaul.
All tips
Involve family or friends in your health goals. Support makes healthy habits easier to stick to.
Keep a bottle of water within reach today. Staying well hydrated supports nearly every function in your body.
Swap a sugary drink for water today. It's an easy way to cut extra sugar.
Take a 10-minute walk after a meal. It helps your body manage blood sugar better.
Try a few slow, deep breaths when you're stressed. Chronic stress can affect your blood sugar just like diet and activity do.
Write down one small health win each week, like a walk you took or a meal you cooked at home. Celebrating progress keeps you motivated.
You don't have to give up foods you love. Start by noticing your portion sizes, since even healthy foods add up in large amounts.
