Overweight diabetes patients outlive slimmer ones - study

Patients with type-2 diabetes who are overweight but not obese outlive diabetics of normal weight, scientists reported on Monday, in another example of the "obesity paradox."

n my own experience, I have been training myself with a personal training plan for more than five years and I think it works since the very beginning. I am having a diet for both diabetic and fat people. Maybe you should start with healthy vegetable and fruits. Those are rich in protein, of course vegie-protein. It boosts your energy.

A kind of vegetable which gives high levels of protein is green bean. You can easily look for it in the supermarket nearby. I'm in love with green bean. In reality, green beans may provide instant relief from discomforts of diabetes. Besides, the rich-fiber contents of green bean make it very beneficial for vegan.

The journey of being a vegan as for me is amazing. I stop eating meat for a while and I realize it brings me so many health benefits.
Nice to share with you!
