What You Must Know About Diabetes
Diabetes is diagnosed when the body's blood glucose (a type of sugar) is too high. Diabetes develops when the body fails to make enough insulin (a hormone that is important in controlling the body's glucose level) or fails to appropriately use insulin.
Symptoms: Weight loss, excessive hunger and thirst, lack of energy, frequent urination, feeling tired, vision problems, and confusion.
Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children and adults under 30 years of age. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin and control their diet and weight.
Type 2 diabetes is much more common than Type 1. It usually affects people over 40 years of age. This type of diabetes can often be managed in the early stages by losing weight, exercising and eating a low-calorie, balanced diet.
There are four things you need to take care of to prevent and/or to recover from diabetes - Lifestyle, Dietary, Cleansing and Genetics. In order to heal your body, you will need to work with and understand the role each of these tools synergistically plays in recovering your full health.
Try to get more active, not only to control your weight and your diabetes, but to reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
If you are overweight, losing weight will help you control your diabetes. You should aim to lose weight slowly over time rather than by drastic dieting. Even if you don't manage to get to your ideal weight, losing a small amount and keeping it off will help you.
Food can make all the difference to the management of diabetes. A healthy balanced diet helps with blood glucose control, weight management, blood pressure management and the control of blood fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides.
Control your blood glucose levels by taking foods that are high in fibre, like wholemeal bread and wholemeal cereals to help maintain the health of your digestive system and prevent problems such as constipation.
Eat more fruit and vegetables ?Eaim for at least five portions a day to provide you with vitamins and fibre as well as to help you balance your overall diet. A portion is, for example, a piece of fruit or a serving of a vegetable.
If you are overweight, aim to lose weight slowly over time (1-2 lbs per week) rather than crash dieting.
Natural healing of Diabetes begins with cleansing, to detoxify your body. It takes time to clean a body that has been accumulating toxins over a lifetime, but the rewards will be well worth the time and effort. Cleansing the body of accumulated toxins enables proper functioning of all systems, and a natural state of health will return.
The late, world-renowned biochemist Roger Williams, Ph.D., who first wrote the book, Biochemical Individuality, in 1956, taught us "that nutritional status can influence the expression of genetic characteristics".
As Bishop and Waldholz pointed out in their book Genome, "aberrant genes do not, in and of themselves, cause disease. By and large their impact on an individual's health is minimal until the person is plunged into a harmful environment. . . . ".
In other words, how you take care of your body through nutrition, lifestyle and environmental factors largely determines your health.
The next crucial piece of this puzzle that you need to have is that your body "knows" exactly what to do and how to do it properly, as per its genetic "program". Inside of your body are approximately 100 trillion+ (100,000,000,000,000) cells. Every one of these cells is working every day to bring perfect health to your body. You can be healthy.
