2. Consuming Processed Foods

There is an irrefutable connection between processed foods and diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. A recent study says diabetes must also be added to that list.

• A mere 10 percent increase in the quantity of ultra-processed food in your diet can increase the risk of diabetes by 15 percent (JAMA Internal Medicine).
• Junk food consumption result in weight gain, which also increases the risk of getting diabetes.

Low-quality food makes you inactive and obese, which can trigger diabetes and even insulin resistance.
