Alpha-lipoic acid... there is probably no nutritional supplement of greater benefit to type 2 diabetics that will actually help lower blood sugar levels! Acting in the body in many of the same ways as insulin, this potent antioxidant acts inside cells, on the surface of cells, and between them. Alpha-lipoic acid enables your cellular furnaces known as mitochondria, to burn glucose safely by soaking up the excess free radicals of oxygen that otherwise might injure your cells. It protects the lining of your red blood cells from the caramelization process known as glycosylation, (the process that makes HbA1c), and it encourages the flow of fluid in your tissues so that you might even get a tighter...

In a study reported in Science News in April of 2009, researchers at the University of Michigan fed rats bred for a tendency to obesity, crushed blueberry powder and compared them to rats not receiving this powder. After 90 days the rats eating the blueberry powder had: - less belly fat - lower triglycerides - lower cholesterol, - lower blood sugar fasting levels, and - better insulin sensitivitythan the rats not fed the blueberry powder.

Eating food based on the glycemic index helps reduce your risk of chronic health conditions which include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, allergies... and more. Eating mostly low glycemic, high quality carbohydrates will help control your hunger and therefore help you with weight loss. Usually protein and fat do not increase your blood sugar levels... but be careful here as maybe they will increase your weight. The glycemic index rates carbohydrate foods according to how quickly blood sugar levels increase in the two to three hour period after eating carbohydrates. Low GI foods are rated 0 through 55 on the glycemic index scale. The scale goes from 0 all the way to 100 although...

Since a literal interpretation of diabetes is a dysfunction of the bodily process of distributing sugars through the body in order to fuel it's tissues and organs; it is only natural to wonder what kinds of food, if any, a type 2 diabetic should avoid. The answer is that there are certain foods you should avoid completely, and others that you should eat only in small quantities... but these foods are not always the ones that you may have on your diabetic most wanted list. 1. Sugar, in its refined form, is the most obvious food to avoid since it converts readily into sugar... boosting, not giving lower blood sugar levels. 2. Dairy products should be limited, but not eliminated, because they contain...

There are two reasons why glucose numbers swing during sleep or before dawn, these are known as the Dawn Phenomenon and the Somogyi Effect. The Dawn Phenomenon is: - the sudden rise in blood sugar in the early morning hours - the body's response to hormones released in the middle of the night - experienced by everyone. Our body produces hormones that negate the effect of insulin. These hormones include glucagon, epinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol, they increase your blood sugar levels by signaling your liver to release more glucose but prevent your body from using it. During the night, your body releases more growth hormone. This is followed by a surge in cortisol, which effectively triggers...

Do you know punctuality is one of the main keys to success when you have type 2 diabetes. No, I don't mean showing up for your low-carb dinner date on time. Planning meal times and meal arrangements... even if you are a casual, Bohemian type otherwise, is crucial. You need to be as regimented in your eating habits as a private in the Army. This means eating regularly throughout your day, typically every three hours... meaning you take in around five smaller meals in place of the usual three larger meals. You also need to make sure that you do eat at these times... it is very disruptive to skip a meal and try to make it up later. The reason for this is simple and rather straightforward: - if you...

One of the most difficult facts of life as a type 2 diabetic is when you don't know your blood sugar levels you can't control your condition. While it might be tempting to call a psychic hot-line to get that information, the reality is the only way a diabetic can know their blood sugar levels is by finger sticks to draw blood samples to be read by their home glucometer. Test strips are expensive, but even diabetics enjoying excellent insurance coverage often avoid testing. Often it's because the diabetes educator who explained how to self monitor did not show them the right way, the less painful way. 1. Stick here: a strong jab in the fleshy end of your finger or thumb will produce a super drop of...

It was discovered by an American Government Agency that consuming regular amounts of cinnamon can have a profound effect on blood sugar levels... in fact it lowers them! It can also boost your body's insulin production. Whilst it is clearly not a single solution to reversing type 2 diabetes it is certainly heading in the right direction.

Prevent Type 2 Diabetes: More than in any other chronic health condition the cornerstone of preventing type 2 is to prevent obesity. So how is obesity measured? Being overweight is defined...

If you don't know what the ingredients are in a skincare lift, you should not order it. You definitely should not use it before evaluating the safety of the compounds included in the product. They can affect your short and long-term health, as well as your appearance for life. Some form of urea is usually included in topically applied lifts. If you know anything about medical terminology, you may recognize urea as a waste product present in urine. It is responsible for the strong odor left behind when urine dries on a piece of fabric or carpeting. Diazolidinyl and Imidazolidinyl urea are included in many different skincare products where they serve as antimicrobial agents. In large quantities, they...

Not too long ago, a friend of mine came to me and asked for my opinion in a Network Marketing company she found on the Internet. She mentioned how she liked the company's all-natural skin & body care products, and the possibility of making extra income with it. But she wants to know how she could sell the products, since she never did any kind of selling before. That's how I came across Daisy Blue Naturals. After a quick little research, I found that Ms. Jena Thompson and Daisy Blue Naturals have been in business for over 10 years already, and has a BBB rating of A-, without any complaint history in the past 36 months. Things look good so far. After using some samples, I'd say I'm kind of impressed...

I spoke at a lecture along with two cardiologists on Heart Health for Women. I didn't wear a red dress but I had my red dress pin on! (ordered directly from the box tops of Celestial Seasonings tea!). I was grateful to not only be presenting some of my Heart Healthy Home Spa Tips, but to listen to two female cardiologists present current approaches to cardiac care. It brought back memories of my Intensive Care nursing days. I used to be an assistant head nurse of a fourteen bed Intensive Care unit. Heart attack patients filled a high percentage of our unit. If they weren't in the unit for postoperative heart surgery, they were there because of a heart attack or a serious disturbance in their heart...

Many elements are critical to sustaining life and a strong immune system. The four most important ones are: water, oxygen, sodium and potassium. In order to maintain health, they all must be in balance. All of these nutrients have to coexist in right proportions in order for a human body to function properly. Let us remember that the best nutrients are produced by nature - live unprocessed foods. People sometimes call the human body a machine. Of course, the human body is not a machine, but it can be certainly compared to one. Like a machine, the human body is made up of many systems, all of which are responsible for completing specific tasks. All of the systems in the human body work together and...

A walk in the morning dew offers great health benefits. Appreciating how it glistens in the sunlight can give us a natural high and set us up for a great day, but the health benefits go way beyond that. According to Sebastian Kneipp (1821-97), a German Priest, walking in the morning dew is considered a form of hydrotherapy. Father Kneipp overcame tuberculosis with hydrotherapies and the healing power of plants and went on to heal others with these practices. Traditional folklore tells us that young girls can wash their face in it to make themselves beautiful and older people can do the same to make themselves younger. Eastern traditions say that it revitalizes and strengthens the body, and can also...
