(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 13, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- As the craze over the mobile game Candy Crush Saga wanes, addiction to sweets continues to grow. With the increasing number of diabetics over the years, it seems like diabetes has made itself a home in almost everyone's lives. And with the growing number of processed foods, making the healthy choice seems like a burdening task. To help society become stronger and healthier, kitchenware brand Finesseur will be offering some helpful tips on how to keep diabetes at bay, or even out of one's life completely.
"Diabetes is not a joking matter, and it is far from being sweet when it comes to how diabetes attacks one's body. With the rising rates of diabetes in the country, it's clear that something must be done to address the issue. And we believe that one step to achieving a goal, like fighting diabetes, revolves around having sufficient information to help people make better decisions when it comes to their health," Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery says.
Diabetes is a chronic disease which occurs when the body isn't able to produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Diabetes can also occur when the body cannot effectively use the insulin that is released. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 347 million people known to be afflicted with diabetes in 2013. Diabetes was also responsible for an estimated 3.4 million deaths in 2004 and in 2010. Long term effects of diabetes include severe damage to nerves and blood vessels, heart disease, skin problems, stroke, vision imparity, and even amputation.
As the threat of diabetes becomes more real and dangerous than before, being proactive towards one's health is more of a necessity today. "In this day and age when turning to fast food and processed food is increasingly becoming an acceptable alternative, if one wants to lead a healthier life, one must work doubly hard for it. That involves choosing the right and healthy foods, leading a more active lifestyle, and keeping a positive attitude. A healthier lifestyle demands that one pays close attention to the meals they prepare. No longer is it okay to just turn to processed foods. If you want to stay healthy, cooking your own meals is the best way to go. We hope that the information we will release, accompanied by the use of a practical measuring tool such as our food scale, can help customers achieve better nutrition," Montgomery says.
Taking the path towards better nutrition and a healthier lifestyle is a choice that is often difficult to start, and most of all, maintain. But the prevalence of diabetes today, along with other diseases, makes the demand to choose a healthier lifestyle more urgent. It is crucial to be armed with the correct information and the right tool to put this information into practice.
