Prediabetes Detox Diet

The Prediabetes Detox was created by naturopathic physician Sarah Cimperman, ND.

Prediabetes means having high blood sugar and/or insulin levels. It increases your risk for developing diabetes as well as a variety of chronic illnesses including heart disease, cancer, and dementia.

Studies have shown there is a direct link between toxins in our food and diabetes.

In this book you will learn how to reverse prediabetes by….

• Avoiding toxins
• Balancing your blood sugar
• Cleansing your body

Prediabetes Detox Diet Basics

The Prediabetes Detox Diet outlines a lifestyle guide including an eating plan, nutritional supplement regime and exercise program.

Participants should follow the prediabetes detox program for two to eight weeks until your blood sugar levels are normal.

Avoid Fast Carbs to Balance Blood Sugar

Fast carbs are the most dangerous foods for people with prediabetes. They are quickly digested and rapidly absorbed, which increases blood sugar and triggers release of high amounts of insulin. This in turn can trigger weight gain, food cravings and fatigue.

Slow carbs come from nonstarchy whole foods and have a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. They include fibrous vegetables like:

• Asparagus
• Cauliflower
• Lettuce
• Peppers
• Onions
• Zucchini
• Tomatoes
• Broccolli
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Beans

Inflammation and Diabetes

Chronic or long-term inflammation promotes diabetes and may be caused by a number of factors.

One of the most important is the consumption of unhealthy fats such as heat-extracted vegetable oils, margarine, fried foods, and roasted nuts. Pro-inflammatory fats are also found in meat, eggs and dairy products from grain-fed animals.

To reduce inflammation you should choose foods that are sources of healthy fats such as:

• Green leafy vegetables
• Wild caught fish and seafood
• Grass-fed meat
• Free-range poultry and eggs
• Butter from grass-fed cows
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Raw nuts and seeds

Detoxification for Diabetes Prevention

Studies have identified six different toxins in food and water that are associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The detox program outlined in this book can assist with the elimination of these toxins.

Exercise Helps Prevent Diabetes

Exercise helps reverse prediabetes by reducing inflammation, lowering blood sugar and making cells more sensitive to insulin. It also supports detoxification by burning fat, mobilizing toxins and increasing lymphatic circulation.

Once your health becomes more balanced you may be able to reduce this to three hours a week. It is important to undertake a combination of cardiovascular activity, strength training and stretching. For people with high blood sugar the combination of aerobics and strength exercises is more powerful than either one alone.
