World Diabetes Day

Hello all you sugar lovers!!!

Today is World Diabetes Day. Check out these web links for further information about diabetes.

• It is estimated that approx 191,000 people in Ireland have Diabetes. WOW! that's almost the same as the population of Dun laoghaire Rathdown!(pop.194k) 

• 366 million people worldwide have diabetes compared with 30 million 25 years ago. (source: www.diabetes.ie, 2011) 
• The rise in type two diabetes is directly linked to poor diet (too much sugar and fat, too little fibre) and inactive lifestyles. 
• As the SafeFood advert reminds us we can stop the spread by sticking to a healthy diet low in refined foods and high in fruit and vegetables and wholegrain foods. Everybody young and old should be physically active for about 30 minutes every day. 
• This means raising the heart rate by doing cariovascular excercise such as running aerobics or football to name just a few options. Check out this site for more advice and ideas about getting active. http://www.getirelandactive.ie/

Let us know what you think about this issue by responding in the comment box below.
