Live lean.  Try to avoid salt, sugar and oil laden foods as much as possible.  Anything with preservatives and run the other way. Of course, you've got to couple this with cardio and muscle toning. Try walking around 45 mins every day.

A certain percentage of any population will be naturally immune to a particular disease, including HIV. There is no way known, as yet, you improve your immunity to HIV and any attempt would entail great risk. Foods might help, but the risk is too great. Play it safe.

Anyone can get Diabetes.  People who have a family history of diabetes just have a higher risk of also developing the disease later in life than someone without family history.  Also, having a healthy diet in early life decreases chance of getting the disease.  My father is a diabetic and recently developed DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis) which is very serious (usually results in coma or death), and can happen just by a Diabetic getting a cold.  I believe it is very important to read on DKA and on being a healthy diabetic.  It is a very serious disease and some people do not notice until it is serious or too late.

first off, do NOT take anything anyone says here as medical advice.  You need to talk to a doctor.  Diabetes is serious and it is unique in each person.\n\ndepending on what type you have, you might be able to adjust your diet, exercise more, or make other lifestyle adjustments.  But, seek a doctor's advice first.

Eat your vegetables, lead a helathy life. The nutrients that one gets from food are more than enough to fortify our bodies against diseases.

Interesting theory.  There are some similar theories around diseases like asthma.  Basically, by challenging your immune system, you make it stronger, a la Nietzsche "What does not kill me, makes me stronger."  \nI don't know the answer to your question, but I wouldn't be surprise if they did.

Cut back on sugar and fats. Sugars become fat if you don't burn them off. Also, try to exercise more. If you are type 2, chances are you can control your sugar with diet, exercise and maybe some prescriptions. But you have to be careful because you don't want to become insulin dependent. Also, diabetes can lead to other serious health problems if not taken care of. But most people with Type 2 live normal lives.\nGood luck!

Diets of any kind can be hazardous if you are diabetic.  You are dealing with the issue of insulin resistance, which can make attempts at weight loss frustrating.\n\nInsulin resistance in basic terms is the body's reluctance to give up its stores of fat.\n\nIn terms of diet bars, I would recommend the South Beach ones.  They have the fewest harmful ingredients and have the lowest glycemic index.  \n\nAs far as alchohol goes, it would have to be something like Bicardi or some other beverage that does not contain the sugar Maltose.  Even wine contains sugar.  The issue isn't the alcohol, it is what else is contained in the drink.  Look for drinks that say 'low carb'.  I don't drink that much, so no specific names some to mind.  Stay away from the beer, wine coolers and wine.\n\nHere are a few tricks I have used to stabilize the blood sugar and to break down that insulin resistance.  Like Cinnamon?  Smother your food with it.  Cinnamon contains natural componds that stabilize the blood sugar and cause your fat cells to give up their fat stores.\n\nFish.  Susbtitute the beef and pork with fish.  Fish has omega 3 oils which lower the bad cholestoral and trigyceride levels in your blood.  They also have the effect of stabilizing blood sugar.\n\nLastly always undergo any diet regimen under the supervision of a doctor.  Make sure you monitor your blood sugar levels.  Who knows, taking off those pounds may reverse the diabetes or at least make it easier to manage.\n\nHernias can persist unchanged for years.  My father has had an umbilical hernia all of his life.  He is now 70 years old.  Only your doctor can give you the best answer.\n\nGood luck and God bless.

There is no cure for this yet, but they are working on it.  If you haven't been diagnosed, then eat healthy and exercise regularly.  I know I sound like a commercial, but this is the only way to better your chances of not becoming a diabetic.

Limit your carb intake. The body turns all carbs into sugar. With simple carbs; sugar, honey, syrup, etc. the body converts these quickly causing your blood sugar to spike so avoid these. Complex carbs like rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. take longer to convert so your blood sugar doesn't spike, but it will still go up. You also have to be careful not to eat too much protein. Protein won't effect your blood sugar, but will effect your kidneys which are already working overtime trying to get rid of the excess sugar. Make an appointment and talk with a dietitian. In the meantime practice portion control. That's where most of us get in trouble. 1/2 Cup is a serving of starch like corn, beans, pasta, potatoes. 1 Cup is a serving of raw veggies and 1/2 Cup cooked veggies = a serving. 1 oz. of meat = 1 serving of meat. Watch your diet and talk with a dietitian and you should be able to control your diabetes without having to go on meds. OH and always carry some hard candy with you in case your blood sugar gets too low. Good luck with this.
