Help Yourself Stave Off Diabetes and Pre Diabetes

Statistics show one out of three United States adults have pre diabetes. Nine out of ten of them do not know it. There is good news for us all. That is, a healthy diet and exercise program can cut risk of diabetes in half even for people who is high risk for diabetes already.

Testing Blood Sugar Levels

Here is how:

The year-long Diabetes Prevention Program helps people with pre diabetes stave off the disease by changing what they eat and how much they move. If these actions remain untaken, 15 to 30 percent of people diagnosed as pre diabetic will develop the disease and all it's miseries within 5 years. This program teaches you how to eat and how to do on holidays. It teaches you what to look for on labels. If you think you already know how to eat. Think again. This program will open your eyes.

Along with the program it is recommended to do cardio work outs at least 3 times per week and to do strength exercises at least 2 times per week. This routine should last about one hour at least a day and should give you more energy.

Blood sugars drop to normal. Cholesterol numbers go down and blood pressure goes down.

Diabetes is a horrible disease that strikes nearly every part of the body:
  • Eyes: Diabetes can cause blurry vision, spots, or other symptoms and can lead to blindness
  • Heart and Brain: The risk of heart attack or stroke is two to four times higher in people with diabetes
  • Kidneys: Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure
  • Brain: People with diabetes and pre diabetes are more likely to be diagnosed with dementia
  • Feet: Diabetes causes about 60 percent of foot and leg amputations that are not caused by accidents
  • Nerves: Six out of 10 people with diabetes have nerve damage that can cause problems like numbness, burning, tingling and pain in the feet or hands
Conclusion: Preventing diabetes is far cheaper than treating it and of course much more of your life will be quality life. source: January/February 2017, Volume 44, Number 1, article title: "Diabetes Defense: How To Slash Your Risk"

Preventing diabetes is just one of the major and fatal diseases a healthy diet and exercise program can help us with.

Do Low Calorie Sweeteners Cause Cancer and/or Make People Gain Weight?

Aspartame has been tested the most rigorously and thoroughly according to a former associate director for chemical carcinogenesis at the National Institute of Environmental Health Services. There is a lot of strong evidence to NOT use Aspartame.

The safest low calorie sweeteners are said to be:
  • erythritol and
  • stevia leaf extract 
New research suggests "diet drinks" are associated with weight gain. Some experts believe the artificial sweeteners trigger sweetness receptors in the brain which cause the body to prepare itself for an influx of calories even though these calories do not arrive, the body still craves them causing people to eat more overall and putting them at a higher risk of weight gain. Studies done on this reveals drinking diet drinks does NOT CAUSE people to gain weight. The conclusion is if you want to lose or not gain weight, switch from sugary drinks to diet drinks or water. (Source: September 2017, Volume 44, Number 7)

And even better is to drink a nutritional drink such as the Life's Abundance Mineral and Antioxidant drink. You can drink 16 ounces of this mix per day which is:

  • Non GMO
  • Gluten free
  • Vegan
  • Soy free
  • Dairy free
  • Naturally flavored
  • No added sugar
  • No artificial flavors
  • No artificial colors
  • No artificial preservatives

Minerals and Antioxidant Drink Mix
Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.
This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

Food is An Important Topic for Most of Us: What Lurks Behind the Headlines of the Latest Studies?

A headline or a title of any article is of course the first line of content we read. It should catch the eye as quickly as possible. This is probably why even headlines on topics as important as the latest "food studies" should draw the reader in enough to at least read the next few paragraphs after. EXTRA, EXTRA, read all about it! Below: A newsboy selling papers in 1905. Looks as if he is saying: "Extra, Extra, Read All About it!

Newsboy in 1905

Unfortunately, what the headline says "sometimes" if not a "whole lot of the time" is not exactly what the studies revealed. See the following "real" headline example:

"ALZHEIMER'S: HOW EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL PREVENTS BRAIN PLAQUES AND PRESERVES MEMORY." This was the headline in a article printed in Newsweek.

Behind the headline: "Extra virgin olive oil is the key ingredient of the Mediterranean diet that protects the brain from Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline, scientists have discovered," was announced in Newsweek in June. Now is that not a bit deceiving? Is it in fact full closure of the matter?

And that is not all. Scientists used mice that are genetically engineered to get memory loss and plaques and tau tangles that occur in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. There were other facts "researchers" did not mention in the actual studies such as "how much virgin oil was actually given to the mice that did better on memory tests and learning than the mice that got no olive oil. Don't rush out and buy a lot of extra virgin olive oil based upon this one study thinking it will "prevent" plaques and preserve memory.

According to this article in Nutrition Action News Letter, extra virgin olive oil is good for your heart, but it is way too early to say if will also preserve your memory. (source: Nutrition Action News Letter September 2017, Volume 44, Number 7)

Give yourself an extra boost of good health and try the Life's Abundance Nutrition Bundle of Supplements while maintaining a healthy daily diet and exercise routine.

Research and Exercise

Can you believe this? Research that supports skipping eating before exercise to maximize fat burning potential and plenty of it! Research yes, but not much proof that skipping eating before exercise actually helps you to burn more fat. Advice to exercise before eating is an overhyped statement. The best time to exercise is the time that works best for you, before or after eating says other research experts. You know what I do? I try to eat a little something before exercising, most preferably they say to eat some fruit. I will eat just enough to not start getting hungry pains while exercising. Then, after exercise I always drink a Life's Abundance Plant Protein Shake. This seems to work for me. Whether or not I burn more or less fat, I do not know. I just know this is a routine that helps me get through a work out without hunger pains and to recover without feeling that "let-down" kind of feeling or weak after exercise. I measure my progress by "how I feel" before, during and after exercise.


What about this one. How does exercise affect our memory and cognitive abilities?

Researchers say people who are more physically active are less likely to develop memory loss than those who are sedentary. Active people are less likely to be diagnosed with dementia and their cognitive function declines more slowly. Yet....when researchers put healthy people on treadmills several days a week for weeks or months to see if they do better than sedentary people on memory and other tests, "there usually isn't a large effect on cognitive function."

Multiple studies have been done on strength exercises. Most of them don't provide us with a whole lot of proof that doing strength exercises improve the brain as it does the body. However, we are still told what is good for the body is also good for the brain. I guess that means, "just do them and see what the end will bring." I do strength exercises mainly for "strength" in major muscles. I hope they benefit my brain as well. I will say when I exercise I feel better overall, but whether or not my brain and memory is being improved, I am just as "dense" as most of our studies prove to be. People sure do like to study things! Source: Nutrition Action April 2017 News Letter

I do feel like we are more apt to win at the game of living if we eat as healthy as we can, exercise at least some, and get plenty of rest. That seems to be the tune most everybody listens to the most these days, but to whom to we owe what is right to eat and not eat, how much to exercise and how much not to exercise and how much and not so much exercise? I suppose it is to the same researchers who like to study these kind of things.

You might try Life's Abundance Nutrition Bundle to help you be sure you eat better for overall health.
