Divabetic Says “Step to It” for Diabetes Control and Prevention

Aug. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- (New York, NY) The fitness benefits of walking are well documented for weight control, breathing and circulation and strong hearts and minds. Now research from Harvard University confirms walking can help prevent and control diabetes and Divabetic, a national health and wellness nonprofit for women affected by diabetes, wants people to step to it this month. “Divas in the know credit walking as a great way to develop buns of steel," says Max “Mr. Divabetic” Szadek, founder and executive director of Divabetic. “Who knew it’s also one of the best prescriptions for reducing the risk for Type 2 diabetes?”

Halle Berry, a seriously fit diva living with diabetes, is the inspiration for Divabetic’s Diabetes STEPtember outreach of wellness with a wow. On Diva TalkRadio, Diabetes Spotlight steps up first on Tuesday, September 6 at 6:00 p.m. (ET) featuring Connie Elder, founder of Lipo in a Box ShapeWear and Underology Anti-Aging Skincare.
