Walking outdoors everyday greatly contributed to overall health
Why is it that type 2 (aka adult-onset) diabetes has become an epidemic even for young children? For instance, 1 in 3 of all American children born in 2000 will go on to develop type 2 diabetes at some point in their lives. There is a clear path that lead to this problem.

—Animal and dairy foods increased dramatically.
—There was also an incredible increase in poor quality carbohydrates in the form of breakfast cereals, donuts, candy bars, cakes, sweets, pizza, etc.
—An increase in excessive use of high fructose corn syrup (and more recently agave nectar) as a food additive and sweetener.
—A rapid increase in mass-marketed cold foods and beverages such as ice cream, cold and iced drinks, and yogurts.
—Outdoor activity, especially walking, has been replaced by sitting indoors.
As these trends and patterns continued to take hold on a larger scale, habits and food choices based around grains, beans, and vegetables also dramatically decreased.
People with type 2 diabetes willing to change their dietary and lifestyle practice notice dramatic improvement within days or weeks. The following four steps will help you avoid or reverse diabetes. The steps are the same for both.

Eating at this hour of the day resets your metabolism and biological clock in relation to blood sugar daily.
—Plan meals around grains, beans, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and fruits.
Millet cooked with sweet vegetables, miso soup with wakame, onion and other vegetables, azuki beans/lentils with onions and carrots, steamed, unyeasted sourdough bread with organic peanut butter, and peanuts are particularly helpful for type 2 diabetes.
—Walk outside for at least a half hour everyday.
—Avoid long baths and showers.
Diabetes is a disease of deep de-mineralization, and long bathing time depletes valuable minerals.
Hi Denny,
very interesting thoughts about lack of minerals and diabetes. If you saw inside children’s lunch boxes as I do each day at work, the lack of minerals would be no surprise. Many kids have nothing that actually resembles food in their lunch boxes – sometimes I will count 5 – or even more – pre-packaged items in there. It’s a sad state of affairs here in Australia, as it is there in the US for your children.
Another thing I notice here is that many kids live close enough to school to walk but most actually don’t. The same goes for adults who could walk to work. I would be overjoyed if my town had more bicycle lanes – the car would vanish from my life immediately!
