Natural Treatments for Diabetes - Less Sugar, More Spice!

Natural Treatments for Diabetes - Less Sugar, More Spice!
Diabetes (including its precursor, Metabolic Syndrome) is
one of the top five most significant diseases in the
developed world and is rapidly becoming a burden in the
developing world too. However contemporary research has
found that several spices including cinnamon, garlic,
fenugreek and caper have the potential to be effective
natural treatments for diabetes.

In order to understand the management of diabetes, it is
helpful to consider one of the most important underlying
defects in this disease; that of insulin resistance. Before
a cell will allow glucose through its protective membrane,
its insulin receptor must be "turned on" by insulin or a
chemical mimic. Insulin resistance occurs when the receptor
develops a weakened response to insulin resulting in the
cell's failure to absorb sufficient quantities of glucose
from the blood. This process culminates in energy
deprivation in the cells and raised blood glucose levels.

The primary cause of a poor insulin receptor response is
the chronic over-production of insulin. Not only does too
much insulin lead to receptor failure, but wide
fluctuations in insulin levels are also known to be an
important cause of this condition. These oscillating levels
are, in turn, closely associated with a diet high in
refined carbohydrate foods.

Extreme changes of insulin levels and associated insulin
resistance are abnormalities common to both diabetes and
metabolic syndrome and are typically the result of a diet
dominated by high glycaemic index foods. The rapid
absorption of high GI foods results in abnormally high
blood glucose levels. In order to stimulate the cells to
absorb this sudden glucose load, the pancreas responds by
releasing larger than normal quantities of insulin.

The excessive amount of insulin produced to achieve this
effect results in a sudden fall in blood glucose, and
within a couple of hours this level becomes very low. The
subsequent intake of more high GI foods causes the blood
glucose to rise dramatically once more, perpetuating the
cycle of wildly fluctuating glucose and insulin levels. If
this steady bombardment of the receptors by large amounts
of insulin continues over a long period, it eventually
leads to their insensitivity and malfunction and, finally,
insulin resistance.

A good diet is the most effective ways to prevent insulin
resistance. The consumption of predominantly low GI foods
means that insulin is released slowly. As a result, glucose
is absorbed by cells in a controlled manner and blood
glucose levels do not rise and fall so rapidly. This
prevents the harmful glucose – and thus insulin – peaks and
troughs that are associated with the repeated ingestion of
large quantities of high GI foods.

Reducing the proportion of high GI foods in the diet has
another, indirect benefit in terms of preventing insulin
resistance. Such foods are typically fattening and reducing
their intake can lead to weight loss. Obesity, and
particularly "central obesity", is another other important
cause of insulin resistance and tackling it is an effective
way to reduce the risk of diabetes and other chronic
diseases.

Other invaluable dietary tools for preventing and managing
insulin resistance and diabetes are the spices. These foods
counter the disease processes in several ways and can be
tremendously helpful, irrespective of whether individuals
are making dietary or other lifestyle changes.

Cinnamon, for example, is a potent inducer of insulin
sensitivity and the addition of as little as one gram a day
to the diet can reduce the blood glucose levels of
diabetics by a staggering 30 percent. It does this by
enhancing the enzymes that increase insulin receptor
sensitivity and inhibiting those enzymes with the opposite
action.

Cinnamon has the added benefit of lowering the abnormal
lipid levels commonly found in diabetics and reducing
oxidative stress caused by lipid oxidation in these
patients. Cinnamon is now available as a powder or an
extract as a treatment for diabetes.

Fenugreek is also highly effective at modulating glucose
metabolism and can lower the blood glucose levels of
diabetics by up to 45 percent. This spice both increases
insulin receptor sensitivity and normalizes the imbalanced
blood lipid levels of diabetics. The fiber contained in
fenugreek also lowers the GI of a meal, thus modulating the
post-prandial blood glucose levels by slowing the
absorption of high GI foods.

Ginger and caper increase sensitivity to insulin, and caper
mimics the effects of insulin. Garlic and coriander are
also insulin mimics, while coriander enhances insulin
secretion.

These and most other spices can, with their rich array of
antioxidants, help to prevent the complications of diabetes
by reducing the oxidation of fats.

Several spices, including chilies, can also help combat
associated conditions such as obesity by increasing the
metabolic rate and therefore helping to "burn off" excess
calories.

Spices possess an amazing potency and range of weapons in
the fight against diabetes. By helping to prevent, delay
and even treat one of worst and most widespread chronic
diseases afflicting the modern world, they offer useful,
natural treatments for diabetes.

Natural Chelation With Vitamins, Minerals and Phytonutrients

Natural Chelation With Vitamins, Minerals and Phytonutrients
It is reassuring to know that there are many plant-derived
compounds, vitamins and minerals that can protect us
against heavy metals and other environmental toxins.

Our bodies are continuously exposed to poisonous substances
- both natural and man made. Although we have biochemical
mechanisms to cope with most them, when our bodies are
subject to overwhelming quantities of toxins, severe health
problems occur.

The human body deals with poisonous substances in various
ways. Enzymes and components of the immune system in the
intestines are the first line of defense in this regard.
They either convert the toxins into harmless substances or
prevent their absorption into the blood stream by binding
to them. In addition food-derived compounds help to
neutralize harmful agents before they are absorbed through
the bowel wall. Interestingly, and somewhat paradoxically,
metals like iron, zinc and copper (that are potential
toxins themselves) can also help prevent the absorption of
poisonous heavy metals like lead.

If a toxin manages to evade the defense systems in the
intestines and gains access to the blood stream it may then
be rendered safe by enzymatic action or other processes in
the liver – the most important detoxifying organ. If the
liver fails to deal with a toxin it may then be excreted by
the kidneys. However, some the most problematic toxins are
those that the body cannot neutralize or get rid of.

The most important examples of these are the metals –
especially arsenic, copper, iron, zinc and the heavy metals
like lead and mercury. As the body has difficulty excreting
these poisons it tries to sequestrate them in tissues like
fat and bone where they will not cause as much harm as they
would in other organs or tissues. Unfortunately when the
stores of these toxic substances reach a certain threshold
they inevitably begin to cause damage. Lead and mercury are
particularly damaging to the brain and other nervous tissue
and this is especially so in children.

The treatment of choice for metal poisoning is chelation
therapy; a therapy whereby a chelating agent is used to
'grab' or bind to the toxin; either rendering it harmless
or allowing the body to excrete it more easily. Examples of
chelating agents that are used to treat metal poisoning
are: DMSA, DMPS, ALA, EDTA.

There are also many naturally occurring compounds that have
chelating properties. The spice, coriander (cilantro) has
been shown to chelate lead while turmeric binds to both
copper and iron. Other studies have shown how vitamins B1,
E, C and zinc can help prevent the absorption of lead and
enhance the capacity of chelating drugs.

As well as acting as chelating agents plant derived
compounds play a vital role in countering the damaging
effects of heavy metals and other toxic substances. Many
toxins are free radicals and as such cause oxidative damage
to cells and tissues. Spices, fruits, nuts and vegetables
all provide large numbers of important antioxidant and
other compounds that play a vital role in helping to
contain free radical damage.

If we want to minimize the effect of heavy metals and other
environmental pollutants on our bodies we need to ensure
that we have an adequate daily intake of spices, fruit and
vegetables. It is these foods that provide us with the best
means to deal with this inexorable threat to our health.

Teaching Good Values with Jiu Jitsu

Learning martial arts have manifold advantages. Not only do
these martial arts help in defending ourselves from
attackers, but also they are known to improve health,
physical fitness and concentration of mind. Training and
practicing martial arts will help in reducing body weight
and keep various diseases like heart disease, diabetes
under control. They also improve self-confidence and one's
strength of character. As learning martial arts has many
advantages, everyone is advised to learn martial arts.
Learning martial arts can be both easy and tough. Joining a
local club is the best way to learn. Proper guidance would
be available at the club and also one can come into contact
with people who have similar aims and motives.

One of the most popular martial arts is jujitsu. Other
martial arts like judo, karate, sambo, taekwondo and many
others are also very much popular. Jujitsu has its origin
in Japan. In fact, jujitsu means "gentle art" in Japanese.
Jujitsu involves using a combination of techniques to
overcome an opponent. Martial artists practicing jujitsu
use a variety of techniques like blocking, locking,
striking, throwing, sweeping and grappling to defend
themselves against attackers. Learning jujitsu is a
difficult task and involves a lot of hard work and
practice. Nevertheless, complete mastery over jujitsu can
be achieved with diligent efforts.

Physical fitness is not an absolute requirement for
learning jujitsu. Being physically fit has an added
advantage and can significantly enhance the learning
experience. Regular training at the club will improve
physical fitness, precision, coordination, skill and
reaction time. Martial arts not only tone the physical body
but also they sharpen and tune the mind. They improve
confidence and urge doe facing challenges. Lessons on the
mat will help the person to face real life situations even
long after the training has completed.

Teaching values is an absolute must and in fact teaching
martial arts is value based education. Learning martial
arts is not just learning the techniques and moves. It is
more of learning the philosophy underlying it. Respect
towards the master teaches children to respect elders.
Strict time maintenance makes one punctual and dedicated
towards responsibilities. In general martial arts are the
best way to realize and tap into one's own potential. It is
also a way of inculcating self discipline. It is best to
join young children in martial arts clubs. This way they
will learn good values and put those values into practice
from a very young age onwards. Children are the future and
future can be changed only by teaching children better
values.

Can Cleansing Your Body Help Cure Candida?

Can Cleansing Your Body Help Cure Candida?
It has been found that the Candida parasite can affect
various parts of a person's body from the intestine, to the
colon, to the liver, the mouth, the genitalia, the hands as
well as the skin. But one question that may be raised by
some people is can cleansing to cure Candida be effective?
In this article, we hope to provide some answers to this
particular question.

Certainly an intestinal cleanse is very valuable,
especially if you are suffering from candida. The the main
objective of this method of cleansing is that it removes
the debris, putrefied food and feces, as well as the
solidified mucus from a person's intestine.

Another way of cleansing in order to cure Candida is by
taking some sort of anti-fungal treatment. If you are
looking for a more natural remedy rather than using over
the counter products, then you could try things such as
Grapefruit Seed Extract, Oregano Oil, Caprylic Acid, or
Colloidal Silver. These can be purchased at your local
health food store or online. It is important that you take
them consistently for 1 or 2 months in order to feel the
full effects of the cleansing.

When taking grapefruit seed extract, it should be taken
between meals, and if you find that irritates your
digestive tract then you can take it with meals or use the
capsule versions instead. You should be taking 10 drops
diluted 50/50 with either vegetable or fruit juice for the
first 3 days. Then for the next 4 to 10 days you should
increase the drops to 15 and use it twice daily. Then from
days 11 to 28 you will still keep the dose at 15 drops, but
you will now need to have it 3 times each day. Some people
have found that they show satisfactory improvements on the
lower of these doses and therefore did not need to increase
the amount they were taking for the rest of the treatment
period. Then once a person has notice a satisfactory
improvement they can begin to reduce the amount of
grapefruit seed extract that they are taking. However, if
at any time the symptoms should reappear then you will need
to return to the much higher dosage. Often a 4 week course
of treatment using this particular product will help in
cleansing to cure Candida from the body.

You should also avoid eating any foods with sugar or yeast
until sufficient improvement in symptoms is experienced.
After symptoms improve, you can begin to slowly add foods
containing sugar and yeast back into your diet.

By combining an intestinal cleanse, homeopathic remedies,
and a temporary diet change, you should see improvement in
your symptoms.

Why do Some People's Teeth Develop Dental Caries and Others Do Not?

There have been numerous theories about what actually
causes teeth to become decayed. Generally it is agreed that
bacteria attach themselves to teeth in the plaque which
forms on them from the food we eat. A by-product of the
germs which live on teeth is their production of an acid
which eats away tooth enamel.

The question is: Why do some people's teeth develop dental
caries and others do not? Most individuals know that diet
has something to do with it - and certainly sugar has - but
why caries take place remains somewhat mysterious. It is
also common knowledge tooth decay and the bacteria which
accompany it are the forerunners of infection of the
tooth's nerve and pulp and the need for root canal
treatment.

Dr. Weston Price conducted thousands of experiments to
determine the reasons why teeth become carious. Dentists
will find that Dr. Price's deductions correspond with
current beliefs -but his research brings surprising new
insights into the process of tooth decay.

Important basic factors which would have greatly advanced
the course of dentistry were buried right along with
Price's root canal infection information because of
disputes which existed at the medicine and dentistry about
the focal infection theory.

Dr.Price made thousands of studies of patients' blood in
looking for the true causes of oral diseases. The first key
issue he found concerning dental infections was the
changing of the acid- base balance of the body from its
normal slightly alkaline status to one which was acid.

Studies later by Harold Fl Hawkins, D.D.S. showed the
saliva of people who were free of tooth decay was on the
alkaline side and those who suffered dental caries had
saliva which was decidedly acid. In his book, Applied
Nutrition, Dr. Hawkins points out that acidity of the
saliva results when the diet contains white bread,
cereals,cookies,cake,sugar,and similar refined food.

Starchy grain foods and sweets from sticky plaque on the
surface of teeth we find so difficult to remove during
tooth brushing. This plaque is an ideal food source and
home for bacteria which live in our mouths. Their acid
by-product etches the enamel and starts the decay process.

The two most fundamental factors in all of life's
processes,Price felt, were the changes which take place in
the acid-base balance of people who have tooth decay and
other dental infections and, secondly,the effect dental
infections have on the ionic calcium level of the blood.
People who had root canal fillings and those who
experienced tooth decay were found to have low amounts of
calcium. Both Price and Hawkins independently discovered
that those people with normal to high levels of calcium in
the blood and saliva enjoyed freedom from dental caries.

The advent of the use of fluorine in water
supplies,toothpastes, etc.,has, to a great extent,led the
public to feel that nutritional factors have been
over-emphasized and are of little importance. A quick
summary of the chemistry involved with the presence of
fluorine in teeth will show fluorine use isn't all it is
cracked up to be.

How To Guarantee Success With The Master Cleanser Fast

If you haven't heard of the Master Cleanser, also known as
the Lemonade Diet, it is a ten day cleansing and
detoxification program developed by a man named Stanley
Burroughs. Through the use of a simple concoction of lemon
juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper, you can rid your
body of toxins and rebuild healthy tissue. It was
originally created to treat stomach ulcers, but was found
to help treat and cure many other health problems.

The recipe is quite easy. Every Master Cleanser drink
consists of the following ingredients:

-2 tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
-Juice from half a lemon or lime
-1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-8oz water

Drink a minimum eight glasses of the Master Cleanser per
day for ten full days. In addition, you should drink an
herbal laxative tea each evening, as well as a drink every
morning consisting of two teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt
and a quart of warm water. These last two requirements may
seem unpleasant, but they will help your body eliminate
waste faster, thus making Master Cleanser far more
effective.

Here are some simple tips for a great Master Cleanser
experience:

Make the lemonade drink in a big batch every morning and
keep it nearby at all times. If you try to make each drink
individually throughout the day, you will have a much
harder time sticking to the plan. Also, by keeping it
nearby, you will have it ready in case you begin to feel
weak or lightheaded (which may happen occasionally -- this
is normal and part of the cleansing process!).

Rest as much as possible. Although you may feel extremely
energetic due to the body not spending energy on digestion,
it is important to rest so that your body can heal. It is
encouraged to spend some of your cleansing time pampering
yourself! Many people use vacation time so that they can
stay at home during their Master Cleanser.

Stick to the laxative tea and salt water flush as much as
possible. Although they can be unpleasant, they will help
your body detoxify much faster.

Keep a journal. Document your progress every day. This will
be helpful to look back at if you're going through a rough
spot during the cleanse, and it will also be helpful to
look back at how far you've come when you are done.

As obvious as it may seem, don't start chowing down when
your cleanse is complete. You will definitely experience a
lot of cravings when you are cleansing, but it's important
to try to adhere to a healthy diet once completing the
Master Cleanser. You have just cleansed your body of a lot
of junk – don't ruin it by feasting on every bad food you
can get your hands on!

Using these tips, you should have great success with the
Master Cleanser. Good luck!

How To Exercise In the Morning Consistently

If you're one of those rare breed of humans, it's a time
when you bounce out of bed prepared for exercise, feeling
energetic, mentally sharp, and ready to give the world a
good dose of yourself, than you don't need to read this
article - just kidding!

But... If you're like most people, you get up in the
morning with an "oh, no not again!" attitude and hazy
vision that only a shower, black coffee, and a few hours of
being upright will cure. On top of that, morning is usually
a study in hurried chaos. You hit the snooze button one too
many times. You try to find clothes that match. You just
did a load of whites, but you can't find a pair of socks.
You forgot where you put your checkbook and the keys.

Is this a time to be working out? Are you kidding, you say,
absolutely out of the question. You know what? The morning
hours may by the best time for a "busy person's workout."
You just have to learn how to plan a morning exercise
routine, and then stick with the plan. Here's your wake-up
call.

Try these techniques to make time for a morning workout.
Set your alarm clock to go off 15 minutes earlier. NOTE:
give yourself 1-2 weeks to adjust to your new wake-up time,
then set it back another 15 minutes. Now you've just added
a ½ hour to your day that you can completely devote to your
A.M. workout. But you must make sure you give your body
time to adjust to your new schedule. Setting your alarm
back 30 minutes is too much of a shock to your system.

Go to bed earlier once you're committed to morning
workouts, don't expect to be able to go to bed at midnight
like you used to. Put simply, if you're getting up earlier,
go to bed earlier. (Some people have a problem with that.)
You're better off cashing it in earlier than watching your
favorite late night comedy show.

Get ready the night before. Normally, you waste a lot of
time if you roll out of bed, stumble to the bathroom, take
a shower, put your clothes on, then to the kitchen for some
coffee and a quick eat-on-the-way-out-the-door breakfast.
Once you think about your morning routine, you may find
dozens of little things you could do the night before to
give yourself some extra time for a morning workout. For
example:
• A coffee maker with a timer you set before going to bed
• Making your lunch
• Setting your keys, checkbook, and briefcase by the door
so you don't have to look for them
These will save you minutes in the morning - and it only
takes a few minutes to add another set of reps or another
mile to your workout.

Consider going to bed in your workout clothes! Go to bed in
shorts and a T-shirt (or if it's cold, sweatpants and a
T-shirt). Then, when the alarm goes off, get out of bed,
jump into your shoes, and you're ready to go. While you're
at it, get your work clothes ready, too. If you work out at
a gym, pack them in the car so they're ready to go.

One of the best ways to stick to a morning exercise routine
is to go to bed and get up the same time each day, even on
weekends. Sleeping in more than an hour will throw you
completely out of whack. Once your timing is down, STICK
WITH IT. You will be rewarded with a body and mind that
functions smoothly - almost like clockwork.

Young Soccer Players And The Stages Of Learning
When a new skill is learned there are three stages of the
development, the mental, practice and automatic stage.

Throughout these three stages your input into the learning
cycle will differ according to the phase the player is in.

The Mental Stage

When a player first learns a new skill their key goal is to
understand what to do to perform the technique correctly.
They draw upon all of their awareness to search for
information to map the correct technique.

It's more about internalizing "mentally" the physical
technique of what's to be done. The mental map is made
from previous activities, similar actions and looks, visual
input as the player attempts to make neural connections so
that their physical body can perform.

Coaching during the Mental Stage

Patience is the key. Some players will make the
connections a lot quicker and will be able to perform the
technique sooner than others.

Only key information should be given to the players at this
stage as there is a tendency for player to become
overwhelmed with information if they are given too much
instruction.

Visual indicators are very important during this
development phase, which is why we encourage you to
demonstrate new techniques and skills.

The Practice Stage

The next phase of mastering a technique is to have a go.

There is some overlap with the mental stage here as the
players will be having a go at the technique, but they will
still be making mental connections as the neural paths
start to give information too.

Refinement is the key here and so the more opportunities
that the players have to execute the skill the better.

As players practice the errors they make should start to
reduce over time as the sensory, visual and touch functions
will start to give feedback to the players on how well they
are performing the technique.

For example, when under 6's practice dribbling just keeping
the ball close is a major battle, any adjustments they make
can often lead to the ball being toe poked away even
further!

But as the young players see the ball moving away from
them, and make small jumpy movements to keep the ball under
control, all of the feedback signals will be computing and
assisting in their development.

Coaching in the Practice Stage

Observation, accurate feedback, encouragement and praise
are all key skills during this phase.

Very young players will need more feedback whereas youth
players should be able to self analyse their performance;
some well structured questions can also assist.

The Automatic Stage

As practice continues so the players become far more
proficient at the technique; this then frees up some mental
capacity to take the learning even further.

This is why some techniques lend themselves to a chaining
type coaching method, or when using a functional phase
practice and build it through to extended play.

Players in the automatic stage know when they have made
mistakes and also have the knowledge internally on how to
put things right without much input from the coach.

However, complacency can creep in, so to can over-analyzing
a technique which can be harmful to performance.

Coaching in the Automatic Stage

Rather than coaching specifics, the coaches duty now shifts
to present more challenging situations to practice the
technique and develop it into a full functioning skill.

Refinement is the key to develop truly magnificent players.

Ready to Reset Your Body Weight?

Ready to Reset Your Body Weight?
-------------------------------------
The number one weight loss tip is one we all know. Eat
less, move more. It seems obvious, doesn't it?

All we have to do is stop over eating and just start
walking more. We can do something as simple as walking
around the block one time each day. This would only take
about ten minutes at most.

The real key is to just get in action. Is this your routine?

- Get in your car and drive to work

- Walk to your desk

- Sit at your desk for three to four hours.

- Walk to a place where you sit and eat

- Walk back to your desk and

- Sit for four more hours

- Walk to your car and sit in your car to get home

- Walk into your house.

- Sit down and eat and then

- Sit down and watch TV.

- Walk to your bed and sleep

- Repeat

The total amount of time you probably devote to walking in
this scenario is maybe about 60 minutes. Did you know 60
minutes of exercise can eliminate 600 calories when
applying some degree of intensity to it?

If you begin to use that same 60 minutes to walk fast and
energetically it may reduce the time walked down to 30
minutes but would be more beneficial time where you could
lose 300 calories per day doing that.

The calories needed to maintain your weight is a total of
your weight times ten. If you want to lose weight you need
to eat less calories than that number. When you have been
below your maintenance number of calories ong enough for
the difference to total 3500, you will lose one pound.

By knowing this, you can get control over your weight once
you become serious about it and commit to a weight loss
program that gives you the nutrition you need while doing
so at a minimal caloric intake.

Resisting Weight Loss.

What makes you resist moving? Human nature is to stay in
our comfort zones as much as possible. When the comfort
zone is to sit in a chair, we resist doing anything else.
On the other hand, if your comfort zone were to be outside
walking here walking there, enjoying the weather your would
be uncomfortable sitting in a chair.

Arrange your life so moving around is a natural part of
your life. Get involved with a diet program where you can
eat when you are hungry and still experience weight loss.
