Getting Enough Water Daily

To make sure you're getting enough water:
  • Track your water intake. Try recording every glass of water or other beverage you drink.
  • Drink more water and fewer caffeinated beverages and alcohol. Both substances are diuretics that are less hydrating than water. After your morning cup, stick to decaffeinated beverages for the rest of the day. Drinking water or seltzer between alcoholic beverages can help you stay hydrated — and save calories, too, by filling you up.

Exercise can help people with large waistlines reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Scientists found that people with large waistlines who exercise were less likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes than their less active counterparts. They found that physically inactive people with large waistlines had a 5.5 times greater risk of suffering from diabetes than active people with small waists. They added that 30 minutes of exercise five times a week could help people with large waists lower their odds of suffering the illness by 4.2 times. This can be achieved through a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
