Does Bio-C Help To Stay Away From Diabetes?

dear sir,

my husband is obese. he is 113kg and his age is 31. for the past 5 days he is walking in treadmill for 20 min per day. each day he burns 80 calories. . is this enough?
before 3 months we checked is sugar level, it was normal. may be he hate swets and he avoid them. but even though im scared as he is obese..
what should i do to protect him from diabetics?
he is talking omega-3, garlic heart, fruit and vegetable concentrate and bio-c of amway. does this help. is it true that bio-c helps to stay away from diabetics?

Bio-C will not prevent diabetes. The only way he can reduce his risk is to lose a lot of weight. Doing the treadmill is helpful for burning calories and making his heart and lungs stronger, but by itself is not enough to reduce the obesity. He also needs to follow a low calorie balanced diet and change his eating habits. You might want to talk to a nutritionist or dietitian for the best advice on what kind of meals he should be eating. Avoiding sweets is just a small part of what is necessary. The balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins needs to be correct for best weight loss and health. Hope this helps.
