Diabetes rates are rising

Shortly after the 1992 food pyramid was announced by the USDA the obesity rates quickly rose in all states within a few short years. Oftentimes obesity increases your risk of having a diabetes. Here are some startling statistics that you might not know about yet. First of all, diabetes affected 11 million Americans in 1990. A decade later, the number rose to a staggering 16 million. That is a full 40% increase within a short span of merely 10 years. Furthermore, during that very same period of time, the obesity rate in the United States nearly doubled, as it went from 12% to 20%.

The latest statistics released last year have since put the number of obese Americans at a shocking 57% of the people in the country.
By consuming food according to the food pyramid you are eating high level carbohydrate foods. Some people might think that all the bread is equal in terms of quality. Well the fact is that cheap food is often refined and contains many chemicals such as preservatives. Many people decide to buy the cheaper product over greater quality not knowing that it might contain refined ingredients that are not healthy at all. Recent medical studies show that consumption of refined carbohydrates such white bread and rise raise the risk of diabetes 2.

In short, keep your weight down and diet healthy to avoid putting yourself into a situation whereby you might get affected by a serious case of diabetes.
