In other words, to many of us, the word “snack” translates as chips and cookies… if we call it something else, perhaps we could turn it into a bowl of whole-grain cheerios or an apple with peanut butter.
Anyways, I’m not a scientist. I don’t know what makes ou bodies develop autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes where our pancreases entirely give up and quit. But I don’t think there’s a whole lot of mystery behind type 2. And I think one of the first steps to treating it and preventing it, is by suggesting your son or daughter turn off the TV and go for a walk…andyou might as well join them, because adults need exercise, too.
