(HealthDay News) -- Living a healthy lifestyle can cut your risk of diabetes by as much as 80 percent, researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health report.<\/p>
It has been clear that diet, exercise, smoking and drinking have an impact on whether one is likely to develop type 2 diabetes, but how each individual factor affects the risk had been unclear.<\/p>
\"The lifestyle factors we looked at were physical activity, healthy diet, body weight, alcohol consumption and smoking,\" said lead researcher Jarad Reis, a researcher from the U.S. Division of Cardiovascular Sciences at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.<\/p>
\"For each one of those, there was a significant reduction in risk for developing diabetes,\" he said. \"Having a normal weight by itself reduced the risk of developing diabetes by 60 to 70 percent.\"<\/p>
For example, eating a healthy diet reduced the risk by about 15 percent, while not smoking lowered the risk by about 20 percent, he said.<\/p>
The more healthy lifestyle factors one has, the lower the risk for developing diabetes, Reis noted. Overall, risk reduction can reach 80 percent, he said.
