Santo Remedio founder and renowned cardiologist Dr. Juan Rivera is on a mission to help hispanics avoid diabetes and the deadly complications that come with it, especially heart disease.
Hispanics are over 50 percent more likely to die of diabetes than caucasians.
One of the reasons is the insidious, constant inflammation that diabetes creates in the body, which can lead to heart disease and heart attacks.
To manage diabetes, or avoid it altogether, the key is controlling your blood sugar levels. High blood sugar is a hallmark of diabetes, and it, more than anything, is what creates the chronic inflammation that is so damaging.
Luckily, studies have shown that eating a diet high in dietary fiber can help manage blood sugar levels and lead to a healthier heart, especially if taken before meals.
So how do we get the right amounts of dietary fiber in our busy lives? Here’s Dr. Juan explaining exactly how, with even more information on how to fight or avoid diabetes and heart disease.
Let’s get healthier together,
Your friends at Santo Remedio
