Diabetes is nothing new for human beings, but it was relatively rare before the 20th century. It is commonly called a disease of modern living, I call it a disease of over eating. In most cases this epidemic can be traced to a person’s lifestyle.

The start of production line factories, spilling out prepared foods that were cheap and lifeless as far as nutrition was concerned, was just the start of our diet problems. When we just had some meat and mostly root vegetables with maybe some beans, we didn’t get all the fat and sugar that makes up our diet today. And soda, I can not say enough bad things about it. Fruit drinks are not much better, they over load your system and your poor pancreas can not keep up with this onslaught for ever.

With our modern lifestyle, a wife is not able to spend most of the day in the kitchen, so prepared and partly prepared food is the common fare at most tables. Prepared food is not as filling as meat and potatoes, so we naturally eat more and wash it down with a sugar filled drink. It is a wonder we even survive.

Think of how it was in the old days, when there were usually three generations at the table. There must have been much more talk and good solid food to give our system both nourishment and comfort.

We can not go back to those days, but we can watch our diet, get plenty of exercise, socialize and lower our stress load.
