Reduce risk of diabetes
Studies have shown that up to 90

genetic.
Since diabetes leads to other
medical problems, reducing the risk
of diabetes helps reduce the overall

Unfortunately, 35 percent of all
adults in the United States already
have prediabetes or metabolic
syndrome due to insulin resistance!
