This is a personal testimony
Type 2 diabetes strikes twice as many women as men over the age of forty-five. In people with type 2 diabetes the more common form of the condition,the pancreas produces insufficient levels of the hormone insulin to process glucose (sugar), or blood sugar,the chief source of energy for all of the body's cells.
When I started seriously dealing with the diabetes I did an internal cleanse(Swanson Products). Which was followed with a fasting of white foods,pasta, bread,any foods that were white. I found out that the white pastas and breads were made from wheat that was processed into white flour. These products turn to sugar very quickly in the bloodstream having almost no fiber.Therefore causing your blood sugar to spike.
I began to drink more water I started with flavored than went on to spring, 16 8oz glasses a day. Protein drinks I then added with Lean meats, Brown rice, Colored pasta and Legumes (beans), which are one of the best forms of protein for the body. Than the addition of Vegetables and fruits.
I know that you have heard that you get your nutrients from fresh vegetables and fruits which is true.
The question is how much do you have to eat,I'll give some information at another time but believe me IT'S MORE THAN YOU WOULD WANT TO EAT.
Realizing this I decided to supplement my diet with nutritionals/vitamins.First there were liquid vitamins because of absorption.Second,supplements for various body systems ( digestive,endocrine,circulatory) ETC.
That was expensive and imagine twenty bottles with the supplements you take everyday.
Swanson and Vitality provided me with these because they were mail order,I got home from work and they were there.
Last August I was introduced to Usana's Essentials and being given information on the quality and absorption compared to others became important. These are things I never considered before and being shown The Guide to Nutritional Supplements,which is a book that rates 1,500 nutritionals,made a difference.
Today with the Essentials having a healthy diet and exercise I feel better then I have In the past ten years,I'm 50.
