Promo Praise: Better’n Eggs Fit2Fight Diabetes & Twitter Party

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. Crystal Farms Better ‘N Eggs has teamed up with health and wellness expert Bob Green to raise awareness about this preventable disease that affects more than 25.8 million children and adults in the US.

Type II diabetes can be prevented and even stopped with the right nutrition and fitness routine. My husbands grandmother had type II diabetes and because of her severe rheumatoid arthritis she had trouble getting around, making fitness out of the question. She was also reliant on other people to do her cooking and unfortunately, they interpreted a diabetic diet as just not including sugar. Sugar free candy or sugar free pop. There are still so many misnomers regarding the how people with Type II Diabetes should eat. I wonder if she would have had access to information like the Bob Green, Best Life Diet, if she would have lived longer and felt better.

Crystal Farms® Better’n Eggs ® and AllWhites® are fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low-calorie alternatives to shell eggs. They are both made of real eggs and are a great source of Lean protein can help balance a diabetic diet while controlling hunger and blood sugar levels.
