Did You Eat your Veggies Today?


If you let it diabetes will control your life, instead of you controlling it. Don't let that happen to you! You cannot afford to let the disease take over your body. If you let down your guard for a moment, you will lose ground. The disease slowly destroys your eyes, kidneys, and heart. Click Here!
Do you remember when you were young and your mom made you eat your spinach? They say Mother know best and it is true. You should eat your veggies. Veggies help your immune system and keep your arteries younger. They also keep your blood pressure, your lousy cholesterol and your risk of heart disease and cancer low.

I know I keep harping on this disease called diabetes, but did you know nearly 8% of the entire population of the United States has diabetes. The government has not declared diabetes an epidemic yet. They have stopped short of that, but the escalating incidence of diabetes in this country is pointing us in that direction.

This is a direct result of the increasing cases of obesity in children and adolescents.
Click Here! Kids as young as five have been reported having type 2 diabetes in which the body does not produce enough insulin to keep the blood glucose levels in check, or it cannot use insulin properly.

People we are on the verge of an epidemic. Are you one of the growing number of Americans joining the ranks of people with diabetes? Do you know the CDC (Center for Disease Control) estimates 57 million Americans have prediabetes and an untold number have metabolic syndrome?

Prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a cluster of several risk factors such as obesity, low HDL (good cholesterol), high triglycerides, and high blood pressure are present.

Do you know the risk factors for metabolic syndrome? Here they are: A waist larger than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men, blood pressure higher than 130 over 85, good HDL cholesterol lower than 40 for women and 50 for men, or triglycerides higher than 150. If you have 3 of these factors then you are diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome and are a prime candidate for diabetes.
There are some things you can do to prevent metabolic syndrome. Here they are:
1. Eat a low calorie, low fat diet.
2. Exercise
3. take a daily 500 mg dose of cinnamon.
4. Take 150mg to 300mg a day of grape seed extract to lower blood pressure.
5. Sleep 8 hours per night to lower blood sugar levels.
6. Stop eating refined carbs and sugary foods. These foods cause insulin levels to spike and signals the body to store fat and cholesterol.

Wake up America and let us fight this diabetes epidemic!
