I have Pre diabetes What should I do

I have Pre diabetes what should I do? This is a question we received last week. When you are pre diabetic it is a warning sign that the pancreas is being overworked. It is also a very dangerous path to be on. I believe that the most important word with high blood sugar is time. Time is what destroys the diabetic. If you are saying “I have pre diabetes what should I do? This post is your wake up call to action.

Being on the borderline of high blood sugar is a warning that your pancreas (which is responsible for insulin) may be given out. It can also be a sign that the cells of your body are becoming insulin resistance. What this means is that the insulin is not causing the cells to remove the exist sugar. The cells are resistant. The bottom line is that the excess sugar in your bloodstream is not being removed and this can cause deep damage to your body.

Why is this so dangerous? It is so because living with this poison high glucose levels can mean the loss of your eyesight, kidneys and liver. I have Pre diabetes what should I do? Is a great question and the answer is to fight back!

Time is not on your side

Time is the diabetics worst enemy, every day you allow the poison high glucose to sit in the bloodstream you are risking the loss of your body parts.

Guest post from Nagina How I Kept 40 pounds off

Here is a motivational article from Nagina about getting healthy and regaining your strength and losing weight after having a baby.

Her story does strike a cord with me too since I am also in the process of trying to lose my post-baby  weight, so I am also sharing my weight-loss story here.  I recently started working out with a fitness instructor who has been teaching me cardio and weight training exercises and she has also been monitoring my diet and giving me good tips about portion control and healthy eating ideas. The main thing she asked me to focus on is that to eat small portion meals every 3-4 hours and try to skip the carbs every alternate days. We are still working on that and I hope that eventually I will be where I want to be in terms of body weight and fitness level.  The main thing is not to lose focus and keep doing the exercises on a daily basis and stick on to the diet plan.

 Thanks Nagina for the wonderful post. You are an inspiration to everyone especially new moms :)  Do check out her blog for healthy recipes and inspirational posts.

How I Kept 40 pounds off

 

Nagina lost 40 pounds without changing her life and feels so much more energy today. She wrote a guest post for Gita’s Kitchen to share why eating food is so important to losing and keeping unwanted weight off.

 

Over 40 pounds more and 3 years ago, I never would have believed I would have as much energy and feel as good as I do today.

After I gave birth to my daughter Aliyah 3 years ago from last Saturday, my back ached with the extra weight from pregnancy, I was sluggish and tired, and I didnt feel like myself. I was scared I would never lose the weight and I would keep hurting. 3 months after I gave birth to her, I started on a hopeful path to lose weight and gain back energy and strength.

I changed my eating and got to the lowest weight in my life, beyond my wildest dreams. I went 20 pounds BELOW my pre-pregnancy weight. I saw results FAST. And I felt better than I ever had felt.

Why you MUST eat food you love for long-term results

With my Indian background, eating flavorful food is almost mandatory. At our family dinner table, everyone adds hot peppers to pizza and loves all of my mom’s spicy sabzis and curries.

In the past when I was younger, I tried to lose weight and eat the healthy food I knew of, but my love of spicy and flavorful food really didn’t translate too well. I would lose a little weight, but it would come back on because I couldn’t truly make the sacrifice to eat boring and bland food.

Many of us do our best to eat healthy, but after a long day, we want food that tastes good and comforts us. And we can only force ourselves to eat food that’s cold, bland but "healthy" for so long before we give in and just order a delicious gooey pizza.

And then we regret it and feel guilty for not being able to control ourselves.

Eating food you love is the secret to making weight loss realistic - and fun! No more forcing yourself to eat what you are “supposed to eat.” No more feeling hungry and being consumed with thinking about when you can eat again. Instead, you are full, satisfied, and fulfilled from the delicious meal you ate.

I lost 40 pounds in less than a year and kept it off, largely because I was eating the right foods, I loved how they tasted and I wanted to eat them.

Good food makes weight loss enjoyable – not painful. Its so important to enjoy what you eat.

My favorite way to love what I eat and still be healthy is to infuse incredible flavor through spices. Meals will be flavorful, comforting, and healthy.

 

Nagina encourages eating tasty low-glycemic meals to look and feel great. She shares her recipes and tips on her blog  www.masalabody.com.

Are You Getting All Of The Nutritional Supplements You Need

Are you certain that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs? while youre dieting? Chances are that if youre following any restrictive diet plan, you may be missing some important vitamins or minerals. Any diet that heavily emphasizes one food group while completely restricting others is, by nature, lacking in some essential nutrients.

Isnt that part of the idea, though? The popular conception of dieting is that when we feed our bodies less calories than it needs, it will begin to take nutrition from the fat that it has stored. While thats true, theres a basic fallacy in thinking that your body can derive all the fuel it needs that way. Part of the problem with that assumption is that there are many nutrients that your body cant store. It simply uses what it needs and excretes the rest. Those nutrients must be consumed daily in one way or another, and if your diet doesnt allow for that, your body will show the effects.

If youre on a diet that severely restricts your intake of any particular food or food group, you may benefit from adding a nutritional supplement to your daily regimen. In fact, many doctors recommend that dieters take, at the very least, a complete, high-quality multivitamin to make up for any deficiencies caused by the restrictions. Other supplementation might be recommended depending on the diet youre following.

Below are some specific suggestions based on particular diets. The suggestions should not be taken as medical advice, nor is there any dosage recommendation. Instead, take it as a suggestion to discuss your diet with a nutritionist or dietician and ask for their advice on appropriateness or dosage.

On ANY Diet:

A full-spectrum multivitamin should be part of your daily routine no matter what youre eating or not eating. It will help even out the ups and downs of your diet, and supply some valuable nutrients that are difficult to get.

Sunshine. It may not come in pill form, but sunshine is one of the more important nutritional supplements. It assists the body in making vitamin D, which is not derived from any food source. While doctors say that as little as 20 minutes of full sun a day can supply your daily requirement of vitamin D, they also caution that its dependent on climate. If you live north of Philadelphia, you should take a vitamin D supplement to be sure that you get enough.

On a Low-Carb/High Protein Diet:

Antioxidant vitamins that are found in vegetables are a must. Scientists are learning more and more how important it is that our diets contain a full spectrum of vitamins, proteins, minerals and acids. If your diet cuts out most grains and vegetables, you should be replacing the nutrients you miss out on with supplementary vitamin A, C, B (all the Bs), E and K. You should also supplement your intake of folic acid, and if youre not getting a significant amount of your protein from fish products, youll need omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil, shellfish and flaxseed oil.

Keep in mind that the best diet is one that gives you a balance of nutrients, and that supplements should be exactly that - a supplement to your daily intake of nutrition.

My child has high blood sugar diabetes

“My child has high blood sugar” was our latest email from a mother who was wondering what to do about this very serious problem. A 10 year old girl is now one of the many children living with the adult form of type 2 diabetes, this is an astonishing and growing trend. Spirit Happy has fought with the FDA and drugmakers over the growing diabetic crisis. If you are one of the many parents saying “My child has high blood sugar” please do not ignore this very important warning.

Why children have become the new adult diabetics

When an adult illness has started to effect children it is a awake up call that something is seriously wrong. What is the root cause of the issue? The answer is simply the food, type 2 diabetes is largely a lifestyle disease and this is where the problem must be addressed. A diet of too much sugar or fat can contribute to illness but do not believe for a second the worldwide outbreak of high glucose across the United States, Europe and Australia is simply from consuming excessive amounts of sugar and fat. Do not believe millions of children across the globe simply sat in McDonalds and "gave themselves" type 2 diabetes. If you are one of the many saying “My child has high blood sugar” Understand that the children have been legally poisoned. There are poisons in the food like high fructose corn syrup, which creates diabetic high glucose. The substance HFCS is added to almost every single product in the United States, Europe, and Australia. The FDA refuses to remove it, claiming they need more proof it is killing you and your child.

High fructose corn syrup is a poison and is in almost every food on the market today, it is just one of tons of chemicals that did not exist in our food just 40 years ago, that was also a time when we had almost no children with type 2 diabetes. If you were a child with type 2 diabetes 40 years ago you may have made headline news because it was so very rare. Today, it is common and there is a price to pay, kidney disease, leg amputations, early heart disease are just some of the complications of high glucose in the bloodstream. We are seeing 12 year old kids with the beginning of adult heart disease.

Fat and sugar abuses are not new but we have never had an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes in the child as we have today. The FDA and food drug makers (Yes..we have food drug makers)  want you to believe that  it is the natural sugar and fat causing the diabetic crisis because this hides the true cause of the problem which are their chemicals in the food. What has happened?  Fake fats, Fake sugars, and other chemicals called “natural” have caused the outbreak of adult illnesses to affect children.

The labels on food use to be so simple just 40 years ago. Sugar, Milk, Butter but we have a different situation today, you would need a degree in chemical chemistry to understand the labels today. Do not rely on the FDA to protect you, they all get rich  when the food chemicals are approved by the FDA. Have they poisoned you? If you are also saying “ my child has high blood sugar diabetes” What did they put in your child’s food.  Reverse Adult and Childrens high blood sugar diet now used in 18 countries drug free

Packaged foods have much more trans fat than you think

Trans fat is unsaturated fat made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil less likely to spoil. Using trans fats in the manufacturing of foods helps foods stay fresh longer, have a longer shelf life and have a less greasy feel.

The addition of hydrogen to oil increases your cholesterol more than do other types of fats. Its thought that adding hydrogen to oil makes the oil more difficult to digest, and your body recognizes trans fats as saturated fats. While a small amount of unsaturated fat is good for you, no amount of trans fat is healthy. Trans fat raises the levels of low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol in your blood. LDL is the "bad" cholesterol that clogs your arteries. If you eat a lot of trans fats, they can also lower the levels of high-density lipoproteins, or HDL, cholesterol in your blood. HDL is the "good" cholesterol that helps prevent LDL from sticking to the walls of your arteries. So, in addition to being a high-calorie ingredient, trans fat also poses a heart disease risk.

Trans fats are so bad that they are to be avoided. There is no recommended maximum. Just don’t eat it, or as little of it as possible.

Foods that contain Trans fat:-

Packaged foods. Cake mixes, Bisquick, and other mixes all have several grams of trans fat per serving.

Soups. Ramen noodles and soup cups contain very high levels of trans fat.

Fast Food. Bad news here: Fries, chicken, and other foods are deep-fried in partially hydrogenated oil. Even if the chains use liquid oil, fries are sometimes partially fried in trans fat before theyre shipped to the restaurant. Pancakes and grilled sandwiches also have some trans fat, from margarine slathered on the grill.

 Frozen Food. Those yummy frozen pies, pot pies, waffles, pizzas, even breaded fish sticks contain trans fat. Even if the label says its low-fat, it still has trans fat.

Baked Goods. Even worse news -- more trans fats are used in commercially baked products than any other foods.

Chips and Crackers. Shortening provides crispy texture. Even "reduced fat" brands can still have trans fat. Anything fried (like potato chips and corn chips) or buttery crackers have trans fat.

Breakfast food. Breakfast cereal and energy bars are quick-fix, highly processed products that contain trans fats,

Cookies and Candy. Look at the labels; some have higher fat content than others. A chocolate bar with nuts -- or a cookie -- is likely to have more trans fat than gummy bears.

Toppings and Dips. Nondairy creamers and flavored coffees, whipped toppings, bean dips, gravy mixes, and salad dressings contain lots of trans fat.

Hummus Three Ways Guest post by Sara Dawkins

Hi Friends, here are some awesome hummus recipes from Sara Dawkins, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Hummus Three Ways

This holiday season you don’t have to worry about gaining that unwanted 5 pounds from all the yummy and delicious snacks. Here is a healthier option to snack on between holiday meals. Here is the basic recipe for homemade hummus; it’s best paired with pita chips, carrots and celery. You may want to try all three and be sure to make a double batch for larger groups:

• 1 can of chickpeas
• 1 tablespoon of pressed garlic
• 1 lemon for juicing
• 1.5 tablespoon of tahini sauce
• 1 dash of preferred hot sauce
• Ground pepper and salt to taste

Open the can of chickpeas and drain most of the can but save a splash of juice for the recipe. Rinse the chickpeas and discard any loose shells. Combine chickpeas, garlic, and lemon juice then blend in a food processor until smooth. Then add just a dash of hot sauce and tahini sauce, blend until smooth again.

Herb and Olive Oil Hummus:

To achieve this flavorful hummus, follow the above steps and just add the following on top. First drizzle 1.2 tablespoon of olive oil on top. Then finely chop up your favorite herbs, rosemary, basil or dried oregano are popular tastes. You want about one large tablespoon of herbs to sprinkle on top of the hummus. This is a great hummus flavor before you serve a big, nice meal.

Avocado Hummus:

Find one soft small sized avocado and get rid of the pit. When working on this recipe you take out a handful of chickpeas before blending. The avocado will add more volume and make the hummus extra smooth. Add a tablespoon of sour cream and you are good to go. Blend and serve for early in the day snacks or brunch.

Roasted Red Pepper Humus:

This is the easiest hummus recipe of all three. All you need to do is buy a jar of roasted red peppers in oil. Depending on how you like the flavor start with one table spoon of drained red peppers and go from there. Roasted red pepper hummus is great for any time of the day and any meal.
