Diabetes Type 2 - Please Change To A Fresh New Diet!

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Type ii diabetes is characterised by Type two Diabetes patient’s inability to use insulin properly. Insulin is a substance produced by the pancreas that helps the body maintain a steady blood sugar level and bring energy to a person’s cells that need it. However, when the body of people with Diabetes 2 is no longer sensitive to insulin, patients with Diabetes 2 have difficultyin maintaining an even level of blood sugar. Unlike diabetes type 1, type 2 is usually even less responsive to doses of supplemental insulin. Even though it is sometimes prescribed, if the body is not recognizing it, adding further amounts are not always an effective treatment.

Therefore, even though medicines are not always a good choice for Type two Diabetes treatment, there are certainly many things that a individual with Type 2 Diabetes can do on his/her own to help control Type ii diabetes. Although not as easy as taking a dose of medication, making healthy changes to your diet and exercise routine are a much more cost effective and long lasting treatment option. Although there is no widely accepted cure for Diabetes 2, many doctors and researchers alike do realize the role that nutrition and maintaining an ideal body weight play in keeping their patients healthy.

To best approach your disease, adhering to an appropriate Diabetes 2 diet is critical. No matter where you are in the course of the disease, whether having just been diagnosed, or having lived with Diabetes 2 for awhile, it is always a good idea to find out what sorts of foods have the largest effect on your blood glucose levels. A useful and easy way to do this is to pay attention to a food’s glycemic index. This number indicates how rapid it is processed by the body and, therefore, how much of an effect it has on the level of your blood sugar.

Although reducing high glycemic foods may not be absolutely necessary, it is a good idea to minimise them if you can and to learn ways to prevent the large insulin spike associated with them. As an illustration, many doctors propose one ensure sure that sufferers with Type II Diabetes make sure to constantly pair a protein rich food along with a more high carb fooditem in order to counteract the high glycemic load of a richly carb-laden item. Another critical point is to eat at regular intervals throughout the day without waiting too long between meals and to make sure to eat only small to moderate amounts of food at each meal or snack. Learning about various dietary tactics such as these will go a long way in helping to manage your Diabetes 2.

Prevention Is Not Hard In Type Two Diabetes! Says Who ?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

How can you prevent development of type 2 diabetes? Many people face the risk of developing this disease every year. If someone in your immediate family has the disease, you have an increased risk of getting this disease. However, that doesn’t mean that you will develop it. The first method for preventing this condition from developing is getting out and moving. Experts recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity at least five days a week. It helps with weight loss and weight maintenance. Physical activity actually brings down levels of blood glucose and it helps break down insulin resistance.

 

Another method for preventing the development of type 2 diabetes is getting more fiber in your diet. Fiber is a non-digested part of food that actually helps regulate how fast the body digests food. It also helps with weight control since you feel fuller faster. Research shows that it helps lower the risk for heart disease. Whole grains are another thing to add to your diet to prevent the development of diabetes. Research shows that in some cases adding whole grains to your diet lowers blood glucose levels. While no one is sure why, it is a reason to get it into your diet. When looking at the food package, make sure that a whole grain is the first ingredient. If it is not, then skip to the next one.

 

Losing weight is another way to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. The good news is dropping as little as 5-10 % of your present body weight can have a greater impact on your likelihood of preventing Diabetes. When combined with exercise, that small amount of weight loss will drop your chances of developing diabetes by over half. Do not take the easy route of the fad diet to lose the weight though. The healthiest way to lose the weight and keep blood sugars on an even keel is by changing your diet in healthy ways. Add more healthy foods to your diet. Limit the amount of the fats and sweets. Eat smaller portions. All of these help you lose weight without the fad diets.

 

A sedentary lifestyle combined with excessive weight is a recipe for developing Diabetes 2. When you add a family history of it, your chances are astronomical. Taking steps early and quickly will help slow it down or even prevent it. Why take the chance? Make the changes and keep the wolf away.

Type 2 Diabetes - Your Bit In Controlling Your Condition !

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Type two diabetes is a condition that can oftentimes be managed through good diet and exercise alone. Although medication is sometimes required, there is a lot that you can do to prevent further complications and to hold off on prescription treatment for as long as possible. Much more than diabetes type 1, type 2 is highly responsive to lifestyle changes. Especially if one has been consuming in a diet of high fat, high sugar foods and has not undertaken much exercise in the past, they will very likely see a major improvement once they make some positive changes.

 

Type ii diabetes is characterized by the body’s inability to properly process insulin. Insulin is generated by the pancreas and has a critical role in keeping an even blood sugar level. When food is eaten, insulin is produced and then signals sugar to be taken out of the bloodstream in order to be put into the body’s cells. Both forms of diabetes are due to a malfunction of this system, but in very different ways. Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin. Due to this, they are required to regularly administer the substance to make up for their insufficiency. This keeps the whole system running smoothly.

 

However, Diabetes 2 is quite different. With this condition, one’s is able to produce insulin, but the body does not properly recognize it. Therefore, one’s blood sugar level never gets regulated as it does not get the signal to transfer the sugar from the blood stream to the cells. Although heredity has a part in the predisposition to this condition, it is, more often than not, poor lifestyle choices that are responsible for its development. Luckily, this means that it can be controlled and prevented as well.

 

Especially if you have genetic risk factors, such as a medical history of diabetes, if you are over 35 years old, or had a low birth weight, it is important to pay attention to the foods that you eat and to maintain a healthy weight. More than anything else, committing to healthy food and lifestyle choices can help in regulating blood sugar and possibly even curing the disease. Although the exact cause is not yet known, it is well documented that leading a healthier life which includes a nutritious diet as well as a good amount of exercise, allows you to have a great amount of control over preventing and managing diabetes type 2.

Monday, February 15th, 2010

NATURAL FOOD REMEDIES FOR IMMUNITY & ENERGY

UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN REALLY ACQUIRE AIDS & WHAT YOU CAN DO TO OVERCOME! Please Help Get The Word Out & Save Friends!

We are more vulnerable to smaller microbes (bug appearance) than outside bugs like the “Kissing bug”, Rocky Mountain Tick, mosquitos, etc. than we realize.A lot of people endure their bites despite the fact that others experience shock or probable death. It is probably best that our eyes only see what they do or we would become very alarmed. The primary determinant of immune potency is whether your immune system is capable of protecting you or is it sub performing.Our immunity function is not only a protection against these intruders but also vital in supporting our body’s reservoir of energy.

 

Did you know that we all walk around with many bacteria, virus and microbes. When our Immunity is Strong, then all the microbes don’t stand a chance. Don’t wait to give them a chance! Now, before it becomes serious!

The energy and natural balance re-established through 100% natural proven remedies are available in your kitchen. If you have AIDS then this course of action will take a modest amount of time to get used to. Understand the condition took awhile to get to this stage, so the solution needs time to be worked on until your immune system wins, reconstructs, managing all your internal soldiers (T cells, White cells, Red cells) into a “Shock & Awe” victory. There are definite foods and herbs that enhance soldier numbers radically while amplifying their function.

Beneath you will discover essential information and entrée to a natural, thriving method to re-establish your body systems to optimize your body’s immunity.  

THE AIDS DIET- FOODS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU & FOOD TO AVOID

It is very important understand the reason behind this condition and what led to the eventual downfall of the human body. Usually, we find an individual will choose a lifestyle that causes imbalance. The imbalance will result in the body characteristics fitting into a particular body type. The principal constitution sub-types are not difficult to understand. There are 6 basic types:


cold <———————–> hot
damp <———————-> dry
deficient <——————> excess

Usually, all of us fall into one body type. Those in good health will sustain or reside in the center of each of these constitutions.

  • For instance, (1), A healthy person will maintain his body temperature, neither too hot or too cold, ideal would be slightly neutral-warm.
  • Secondly, (2), the damp type has a system that has difficulty eradicating excess fluids which the person would benefit by eating diuretic foods
  • Thirdly, (3), a deficient person needs to be determined what she is deficient of. Is it vitamins, minerals, energy, sleep, disregarding foods and variety that would assist balance, etc.

The primary goal is to move your constitution to the center or neutral. This is where healing takes place. Additionally, a successful outcome requires a patient to take responsiblity and consciously involved in their treatment.

Here is where the master herbalist, specializing in traditional Chinese  medicine, focusses because 90% of all imbalance stems from what we are putting in our mouths. Either it is too much of one food or foods from one constitutional type. I recommend you consult a master herbalist with more than 10 years experience that is trained in assessing your constitution.

Best Breathing Exercises

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

What is the link between how we breathe and how healthy we are? What parts of our lifestyle increase or decrease the risk of Cancer and other chronic illnesses? What role does Optimal Breathing play in illness prevention or healing? Would you pass a breathing test? Such are the kinds of questions and answers under review here together with some further suggestions about the benefits of other natural healing methods

Let us start by saying that there is more to breathing then just sucking in air
now and again! And there are certainly advantages for health.

Preventing and healing of cancer

All of us probably know someone who is affected by cancer, whether they have
cancer now or have had it in the past or someone in their family or in their circle
of friends

At this very moment, as I write, a close member of my family has just been
diagnosed with cancer of the salivary gland that is already a stage 4 (cancer has 5 stages) which has necessitated drastic surgery and has left the muscles on the right side of her face not working. Over 20 yrs ago I had cancer of the cervix which was removed via drastic surgery and my own mother died of a cancer that had spread into the lymphatic system. An uncle of mine died of skin cancer some years ago.

So this potentially deadly disease has certainly affected myself and my dearest
ones and perhaps people you know also. However in this age of information it is now becoming more and more possible to actively particpate in our own healing and prevention as we come to understand much more about the causes and contributory factors of cancer and what we can do to support the healing process naturally and alongside other conventional approaches

With this in mind se the list below which has been compiled to show some of the major areas, activities
food and choices of how we live which are often linked with an increased risk of contracting cancer. The link may not always be a direct one but the above factors are all associated with cancer in some way.

Watch Out For The Following:

1. Fatty foods in the diet from fatty meat. A consistently high fat, high protein diet
2. Too much coffee, tea and fizzy drinks
3. Aflatoxins i.e fungal products found in foods like peanuts and soya
4. A diet that doesn’t include a sufficient amount of minerals, vitamins and iodine
5. Nitrosamines and amines which can be found in food that has not been refrigerated, in processed meat and
cheese
6. Sluggish colonic movement
7. Overeating (associated in 35% of all cancers) and being overweight
8. Certain types of mushrooms.
9. A diet that includes too many sugary and refined or processed foods
10. History of any previous cancer
11. Diabetes
12. Early sexual activities - particularly cervical cancer
13. gene history, the family you come from, what sex you are, your occupation
14. Estrogens
15. Some hair dyes
16. Chronic infections, viral flu, colds, rashes and diarrhea
17. Drugs such as antibiotics, aspirin, water tablets, immunosuppressants,
amphetamines or antihistamines
18. Excessive drinking and smoking
19. Excessive exposure to chemicals in the environment, industrial fumes,
solvents, asbestos and hydrocarbons
20. Prolonged stress, depression, unexpressed anger
21. Over exposure to cold, heat and radiation.
22. contaminated and not so pure drinking water.
23. Consistently poor or shallow breathing

All of these factors when taken either singly or as a whole can overtax the body’s ability to cope and lead to an increased risk of toxemic conditions and to acidosis which is an environment in which anaerobic organism thrive.

If you have poor breathing it may not cause cancer directly but since cancer is
anerobic and is unable to thrive where there are high concentrations of oxygen, anything
that brings more oxygen into the body and blood is good. Poor breathing patterns can seriously affect your physical health as well as your
emotional and mental wellbeing.

Oxygen acts as a natural antibiotic so what better action can we take than to learn how to breathe at optimum levels

To have the best chance of success with any cancer program, make sure you
practice and develop your breathing.

How Good is YOUR Breathing?

Take the F.REE Breathing Test and Evaluation!!

How well or poorly we breathe will have an effect on whether or not we suffer from heart attacks, cancer, asthma, bronchitis and so on. So are peak performance such as in activities requiring mental acuity, athletics, acting, speaking or singing. 

Crab-like cancer

The origins of the word, cancer, lie in the Latin term for ‘crab’. Cancer was
described by Hippocrates as a ‘crab like’ illness, who observed that cancer, by
nature creeps and spreads throughout the body, eventually bringing death. Now cancer is more usually defined as an uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. In fact cancer is a general term that covers more than one disease, more like a hundred, however what is common to them all is the action of abnormal cells multiplying uncontrollably.

because cancer is anaerobic it is unable to survive in the presence of oxygen. This explains
why the one organ that buckles under stress, the heart, in fact nevr falls victim to cancer. The heart absolutely thrives on a good supply of oxygen.

How Optimal Breathing Helps

Deep breathing exercises fill the lungs with a plentiful supply of oxygen enabling the body to work at full capacity for optimal health and giving the best chances against contracting more serious diseases such as cancer

The thing to remember though is that as the body uses its oxygen supply it also produces, as a by product of the process, lots of free radicals which themselves can cause damage and this is where antioxidants comes in.

What antioxidants do

Antioxidants which are present in some foods slow down or reverse the oxidative damage to our
body.They work at eating up or mopping up the free radicals and through this action they prevent or repair any potential or actual free radical damage.

Antioxidants can be gained from taking vitamins through food or supplements, mainly carrots, fruits, cabbage, nuts, fish, grains, eggs and some superfoods such as Acai Berry and Saw Palmetto.

Other common antioxidants include flavonoids from pomegranate and purple grapes, lycopene from tomatoes, lutein from dark green vegetables, and lignan from oats and rye

Natural Alternative Treatments

More alternative treatnments which can support healing from cancer include inner cleansing
destressing, elimination of parasites, changing negative into positive thoughts, optimism and self confidence. Lowering stress and Changing one’s attitude has a direct bearing on theimmune system and five of the best ways to do this are laughter, daily positive affirmations, listening to relaxation music, walks in nature and various meditative practices

Being too hypervigilant, usually connected to some past trauma which puts the body on hyperalert, or thinking negatively
feelings of guilt, putting blame onto others, being over critical of self, in combination with poor
hygiene and toxic overload can create an environment that invites a flood of
unfriendly bacteria and other organisms into the body. Eventually the body’s immune
system, electro-chemical and energy system and the body’s vital life flow becomes
overwhelmed by overload, blocks and chaotic disruptions.All of this may encourage cancer
and other serious conditions to take hold.

EFT and Tapping

This popular discovery relies on a process of light tapping on some acupuncture points (without the needles) to release any blocks caused by stress and past trauma.

It is a process that you can easily learn and apply whenever you are in pain

To summarise

A positive attitude, good nutrition, proper breathing and body energy balancing
protects you from cancer and other serious illnesses. Remaining relaxed and calm is preferable to being angry or having consistent feelings of guilt. Optimal Breathing can contribuite to a lowered risk of cancer, healing of cancer already present and better overall health.The more time you spend breathing optimally and with a positive outlook and feelings of empowerment the healthier you are likely to be. These are skills you can develop and practise
