WARNING:  Lowering Blood Sugar to Curb Diabetes Can Increase Risk of Death

What mainstream medicine has been telling us about diabetes for years is completely … wrong!

You’ve heard it said before … and most doctors routinely recommend it … keeping your blood sugar (or blood glucose) under control is one of the most important measures you can take to avoid diabetes.  And if you already have diabetes, reducing your blood sugar can delay the onset of complications.

Here are 4 simple tips you can follow:

1.  Eliminate heavily processed foods.  This means any kind of junk food, including fried and sugary foods.  They help fuel diabetes and keep it alive.  Practically all of these foods are high-glycemic, which means they spike your blood sugar and, as a result, your insulin levels.  Also, if it’s packaged and comes in a box or bag, chances are it’s not good for you.  Packaged food always come with multiple ingredients, including hydrogenated oils (trans fats) to give it a long shelf life.

2.  Eat more protein.  Your focus should be on eating foods that have 1 or 2 ingredients.  That means getting the bulk of your calories from protein.  Good sources are grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, organ meats, and wild-caught fish.

3.  Eat healthy fats.  Make sure to get healthy fats in your diet, too.  Great sources are wild-caught salmon, olive oil, almonds, avocados, and egg yolks. Check out this pharmaceutical grade Omega 3

4.  Get plenty of fruits and veggies.  The majority — if not all your carbs –  should come from fruits and vegetables.  Eat fruits with the skin intact, as it provides a good source of fiber.  Stay clear of starches, grains, and any other kind of carb that’s been heavily processed.

Omega 3 caught the attention of researchers approximately 20 years ago – and they discovered that one of the many benefits of omega 3 is HEART HEALTH.

Studies showed that the benefits of taking Omega 3 is for both for heart disease and cholesterol.

Omega 3 fatty acids are what is called poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Studies have shown that a diet rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids can help lower your triglycerides and also help increase HDL cholesterol, which is the good cholesterol.

Omega 3 has many more benefits that have been researched by scientists!  But, remember, this information is for interest only, and never to diagnose or treat!

Fish Oil Facts

Message   Researchers at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, published a study demonstrating that increased fish oil consumption and decreased vegetable oil consumption curbed the body’s overproduction of prostanoids.

Prostanoids are valuable chemicals, as they help regulate blood pressure and reduce allergic reactions. But when prostanoids are produced excessively, it leads to inflammation of organ and other bodily tissues. This inflammation can cause redness, pain and, in some cases, visible swelling. Many believe that cellular inflammation is a major cause of multiple illnesses and disease states.

Researchers are hopeful that these findings will lead to new, more effective anti-inflammatory drugs, as current treatments are frequently accompanied by many side effects.

While the recent trend indicates a drop in the number of Americans suffering from heart disease (nearly a quarter fewer for the period of 1993-2003), still nearly a million deaths are due to this, the most common form of fatal illness. And with Baby Boomers reaching the age associated with the onset of noticeable heart disease symptoms, physicians fear that trend may soon be reversed. Read more »

According to the LA Times, Omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cell aging

Researchers from UC San Francisco reported today that people with heart disease who had high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood had a lower rate of shortening of telomere length–a marker for aging–compared with similar heart patients who had the lowest levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

A telomere is a structure at the end of a chromosome that dictates the replication and stability of the chromosome. Shortening of the telomere means the cell is aging.

What are Omega-3 fatty acids?

Omega-3’s belong to a group of fatty acids known as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because the body does not manufacture them, Omega-3′s are classified as “essential fatty acids” (EFA’s), as it is essential they be obtained from food.

There are three important Omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are found in fish, while ALA is found only in plant foods such as flaxseed meal. The body can convert ALA into small amounts of EPA and DHA, but recent studies have indicated that our bodies are somewhat inefficient in this conversion.

Therefore, it is necessary to supplement your diet with these nutrients in order to significantly change your levels of Omega-3’s.
