Taking Steps Against Diabetes

ovember is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a reminder that
by taking the necessary steps, many Americans can prevent incurring the disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 79 million of us have pre-diabetes and may develop diabetes later in life. New
research suggests that inactivity, along with an overly refined diet, impairs the body’s control of blood sugar levels and may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes. “We now have evidence that physical activity is an im- portant part of the daily maintenance of glucose levels,” advis- es John Thyfault, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, whose new study monitored the activity levels and diets of healthy and moderately active young adults. He concluded that, “Even in the short term, reducing daily ac- tivity and ceasing regular exercise causes acute changes in the body associated with diabetes, which can occur before weight gain and the development of obesity.” The CDC reports that 25 percent of Americans have inac-
tive lifestyles, taking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, instead of a recommended 10,000 steps. Seventy-five percent do not meet the weekly exercise recommendations of 150 minutes of mod- erate activity, combined with a muscle-strengthening activity twice a week.
While regular exercise is crucial in preventing the disease, so is diet. Research led by scientist Patrice Carter, at the Uni- versity of Leicester, in England, has found that cutting down on high-fat, high-sugar foods and refined grains while eating more green leafy vegetables can significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Her study, published online in the British Medical Journal, states that an extra serving of green leafy vegetables a day can reduce the risk of diabetes by 14 percent.

Q: Can Autism be caused by environmental toxins? .
A: Yes. Children suffering today with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and ADHD will often have several toxic chemicals in their brain. The majority of these toxins are passed down in the womb from the mother. Cleansing toxins from the brain and body is absolutely necessary!
“My son’s behavior greatly improved after the chlorine, pesticides, and sugar were removed from his brain. Even his teachers noticed a major improvement.”

ost older studies that gave coconut oil a bad rap involved partially hydrogenated oil loaded with trans-fatty acids. But the unrefined virgin coconut oil now available in many health food stores is not chemically treated and is trans-fat free. Marisa Moore, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, a non- profit organization of nutritionists, explains that the main saturated fat in virgin coconut oil is lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that can help increase levels of HDL (good cholesterol).
