How to Prevent Diabetes

Drink more milk.

What do I mean by that? It turns out that dairy milk, cheeses, and yogurts are rich sources of calcium, a mineral that increases insulin secretion and may reduce insulin resistance. According to Dagfinn Aune from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, High intake of dairy products was associated with a significant decrease in the risk of type-2 diabetes. 







Moringa is also one of the good source of calcium.  In fact it has per gram 4 times calcium in milk.
