Learn a Healthy Lifestyle

The Charantia 30-Day Challenge’s healthy lifestyle program consists of 3 key areas which participants are encouraged to follow strictly for the next 30 days:

  1. 30day_eatrightEat Right. What we eat directly affects our blood sugar. A good diet is the corner stone of a healthy lifestyle. For diabetics, nutritionists recommend sticking to a low-fat, high fiber diet to help keep their blood sugar at safe levels.
    Generally, you should eat more whole grains, vegetables and beans; less meat and fatty foods. Choose whole foods (whole wheat, fresh fruits and vegetables) over processed foods like canned, instant and fast-food items which carry many unhealthy compounds.

  2. 30day_exerciseExercise Regularly. If your blood sugar is below 240 mg/dl, regular exercise can benefit you in many ways. It helps you lose weight, improve circulation, reduce cholesterol and lower high blood pressure. Most importantly, exercise helps your body respond better to insulin. When combined with a healthy diet, exercise is your first defense against high blood sugar levels and the complications it brings.Talk with your doctor or exercise therapist about your exercise program. Generally, diabetics are best suited to low-impact activities, which increase physical activity and metabolism without subjecting the person to the risk of injury or strain.
