If
you are overweight or obese, choose sensible ways to prevent or
delay the disease:
-
Avoid crash diets. Instead, eat foods that are low in fat, salt,
and sugar and high in fiber, such as dried beans and peas, fruits
and vegetables, and whole grains.
-
Increase your physical activity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of
exercise most days of the week. Check with your doctor before you
begin any exercise program.
