Diabetes Types: The Three Types of Diabetes

2010-10-09T07:15:00.000-07:00

Diabetes, for a long time, was assumed to be one disease. Diabetes is now known to take several forms. All diabetes types are fundamentally similar, but differ in many important ways. The two main forms of diabetes are Type 1 and Type 2 (there are other less common types of diabetes). Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are characterised by glucose not being able to enter cells. As a result, they share many symptoms. All types of Diabetes have the same symptoms associated with them - excess sugar in your blood and urine. Pre-Diabetes is where a higher than usual blood-sugar reading is present. Once known as 'Juvenile Diabetes', Type 1 diabetes is where the pancreas loses its ability to create insulin. Type 2 Diabetes – aka NIDDM (Non-Insulin-Dependant Diabetes Mellitus) is the type of diabetes characterised by high blood-glucose caused by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Type 3 diabetes is differentiated as when the brain stops producing insulin or there is a reduced capacity for brain-cells to accept brain-secreted insulin. Gestational Diabetes –GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus) is when high glucose level develop in pregnancy. Diabetes Insipidus occurs when the function of the pituitary and its secretions are impaired, rather than the pancreas and insulin.

Breakfast Grains –Improve Your Health

2010-10-07T06:08:00.000-07:00

Breakfast is the first meal of the day and many people are trying to choose healthier foods. When you first wake up you need to drink water and some fruit juices would be healthy as you wake up dehydrated after a night’s sleep. Some people like to move around and maybe exercise before they eat healthy breakfast foods, but it isn’t healthy to skip breakfast all together.

Using fresh fruit is always a good start as it contains fructose rather than glucose. Frozen Banana Pineapple Cups, trail mix, fruit smoothies and steel cut oats are some great healthy choices to begin your day. Recipes are included in this article...

Soup Recipes –Easy, Delicious, -Good for You

2010-10-06T06:08:00.000-07:00

Soup recipes are delicious and a wonderful way to make a good meal year round, even though we think of eating soup more in the cooler weather. The advantage of making soup in the summer is you can make it with fresh vegetables in a larger quantity and freeze bags of soup for those winter days. There is no vegetable in a can that tastes like one that is fresh. The first four soups can be vegetarian.

The first four soups can be vegetarian. I have included 2 videos and several good recipes.

What Have They Done to our Food?

What Have They Done to our Food?

I am a believer that you will live longer by eating natural food created by God. When we give our bodies what it needs it will thrive and naturally heal itself. I mean, we are what we eat, right? Well if that is true, then we need to be careful of what we eat from our local grocer. Did you know that over 60% of what we eat is genetically modified (also called genetic engineering) food.

I am personally against genetic engineering an wrote an article called What Have They Done to our Food.

What are your thoughts about genetically altered food.

Also, here are a couple of book reviews that I wrote about The Future of Food and Food Inc.

2010-05-17T08:03:00.000-07:00

Bad Effects of Smoking: "Are you a heavy smoker? I suppose that you already knew that smoking is very bad for your health. Do you believe that smoking actually lessen your life span for about 7 minutes per cigarette stick? Deadly ingredients composed of nicotine and other substances are poisonous and can harm our body in various ways. Below are the different bad effects of smoking.

Smoking can lead to various cancers
Smoking an average of 3 cigarettes per day can cause cancers when you get older or in some cases at middle age of 40 to 50 years. Lung cancer is the most usual turnout of smoking habit but it is also the supporting culprit for colon cancers, cirrhosis, tumors and many diseases. Many teens are aware of the bad effects of smoking but instead of avoiding them, they indulge this vice.

This Is Why You're Fat (And How to Get Thin Forever)

2010-05-01T22:21:00.000-07:00

One of the biggest challenges we have as we age is our weight. But let's face it, being over weight does put a huge factor in how long we live. And even though we all know how important it is to eat healthy and exercise, most of us find this very difficult.

This is why I want to share Jackie Warner's new book This Is Why You're Fat (And How to Get Thin Forever) with you. She is so down to earth but very clear with exactly what we need to do to lose weight and inches. Plus she helps us understand why it isn't our fault that we are fat, but it is our fault if we stay fat!

Food Inc. - The Movie

2010-03-15T18:28:00.000-07:00

Food Inc. - The Movie

This movie is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. I is a real wake-up call for people who don't really pay attention to what they eat. The reason it is scary is because the there is so much that the public isn't aware of. As I watch this movie it reminds me of another movie called Super-size Me. I wrote about that movie on my "Is Fast Food Killing You Slowly Lens".
The bottom line, is that we need to educate ourselves and be aware of what we are putting in our mouths. Sometimes people just eat to eat without even thinking.

So if you suffer from insomnia or don't get a restful sleep, you really should get some help.

Are Doctors Lying About the Cure for Heart Disease?

2009-08-15T20:11:00.000-07:00

"The People" have had enough apparently!

An "insider" revealed today that the "World of Medicine" is scamming people - and even worse: with the help of "law-makers!"

It seems that "money" (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding Heart Disease - its control, management, and even its cure!

That's right: "cure!"

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it's against the law to say the word "cure" when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it's very much okay to say that something "treats" or helps "offset" the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say "cure" (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a "healthcare" industry and not a "healthcure" industry?

It's simply because no one's out to "cure" anyone because there's little money in doing so.

Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone's really out to do for you these days - as doing so means you being "forced" to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)

Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you're cured - and that's that (over and done!)

But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old "good folks" armed with "real answers" and "real solutions" are stepping up and are NOT afraid of "Uncle Big-Bully Brother!"

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he's helped others overcame "naturally" the condition known as "Heart Disease!"

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as "no longer having the disease at all!" (Something that's pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! - and now which may even be against the law!)

But it's not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because "Uncle Sambo" has actually started using "Gestapo" tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering "cures" have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!

So, if you're wise and want to find out about this while it's still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:
