Dieting and Diabetes

Very few people realize the profound effect that weight has on diabetes. Even instances of gestational diabetes are much greater in patients that are overweight than in those that are not.
 Type 2, or adult onset diabetes is more commonly found in overweight people than those that are within their ‘ideal’ weight ranges. In fact, almost 90% of those with Type 2 diabetes are overweight.
 If you are suffering from Type 2 diabetes, the best gift you could possibly give yourself just might be the gift of getting your weight under control.

Among those that suffer from Type 2 diabetes almost 40% have high blood pressure, which is another condition that is believed to be exacerbated by excess weight.
 Being overweight might also lead to a condition known as insulin resistance in which the body no longer responds to the insulin that is needed to assist the body in using sugar and glucose as fuel on a cellular level.

What About Activity?

-
Exercising  30 minutes a day is essential. To make this easier, find an activity that you enjoy doing and why not think of it as “playing.” everything you do, whether it’s walking,playing with your pet, or washing the car, burns calories. Look for things that you will enjoy during your work out. Such as the beautiful weather, the park, or just be grateful that you can and are capable of performing a activity.  Join a gym or recreational center or walk in your local mall. If you’re  intimidated to work out in front of others, buy or rent a walking DVD,  For every excuse that you decide to come up with, there will be a way to get around it . Accept that this is what you  need to do for the rest of your life and try to work on your attitude. You can learn to love activity, or at least, appreciate what it does for your health.Since it is winter and some days it's impossible to go out side,try walking up and down the stairs.Most important is keep up your weekly exercise.

Green Tea's Antioxidants

-
Today I would like to talk about green tea, and how the benefits help with our dieting on a day to day schedule. Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis . Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants. Green’s antioxidants are dilators, because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging -- and antioxidant-rich blueberries and pomegranates do the same. Because of green tea's minimal processing -- its leaves are withered and steamed, not fermented like black and oolong teas -- green tea's unique catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are more concentrated. If you would like to find out more about green tea click on the green tea advertisement on the bottom of this page.
