  															Do we seriously need a day to remind ourselves about our health? Health should be our priority every day with every meal. When we are sick, life becomes meaningless. 
This year the World Health Organisation has decided to focus on diabetes and ways to curb it’s rise worldwide. Over 350 million people have Diabetes  and the number is likely to double in the next twenty years. There has also been a substantial rise in juvenile diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, amputation and kidney failure!  
To make sure, you are not a part of this statistic, find out 6 ways you can reverse or prevent diabetes and other disease

  																			1.  Go Plant based
                                                 
A high fat diet promotes diabetes. All animal products including dairy  are full of fat and lack fibre. Lose weight while eating well by  avoiding animal products.

  																			2. Go Organic  
                                                 
Pesticides in our foods and preservatives in packaged foods, are hormone disruptors. These promote diabetes.

  																			5. Be positive 
This is a key factor to good health. Our mind controls our body and keeping the mind healthy, keeps the body healthy too. 
                                                 
 																			6. Get your Vitamin D & B12 checked
