Diabetes: The silent pandemic?

Hi

In my community, there are very few households with senior citizens, in which one or more of those senior citizens do not suffer from diabetes type 2. And not only diabetes. It is normally accompanied by high blood pressure.

Doctors agree that it is the modern lifestyle that give rise to diabetes type 2. Furthermore, in my community, many senior citizens, when they retire from work, do not keep actively busy. They do not walk or do other exercise. I must add, the majority. There are a few who have realized that their health is also in their hands, and not that of the doctors alone. They realize that being healthy is more than popping pills or drinking medicine.

It for these reasons that I want to start a fitness club in my community. So many of my community are overweight or obese. It is claimed that being overweight or obese increases the risk to contract diabetes type 2 tremendously.

I suppose that knowledge is power, and I need to share the knowledge, with those who are ignorant. I would appreciate it if there is anyone out there who reads this post, who can guide me in starting a fitness club.

Thanks

greetings until next time.

PS I have been hampered in my training, by a severe head cold/flu. So the last time I trained was actually last Saturday. I am looking forward to getting back into my program tomorrow morning, with a bit of power walking.
