A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here |
Diabetes type 2 improves with antioxidants from low glycemic fruits and vegetables. A diet rich in natural antioxidants improves insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant obese adults and enhances the effect of the insulin-sensitizing drug metformin, a preliminary study from Italy finds. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society’s 92nd Annual Meeting in San Diego.
“The beneficial effects of antioxidants are known, but we have revealed for the first time one of their biological bases of action-improving hormonal action in obese subjects with the metabolic syndrome,” said principal author Antonio Mancini, MD, an endocrinology researcher at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome.
Antioxidants, which are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts, include vitamins E and C, selenium and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene. Past research shows that antioxidants can prevent oxidative damage to cells and in some cases also help repair damage.
Mom Knew
Mom Knew, but the medical community has no idea. But, as everyone discovers sooner or later Mom was right. The medical system is not your salvation, they aren’t capable of anything more than billing you. Your mothers advice was free, when you pay for it, the value seems to increase. Maybe, your mother should have charged you.
Diabetes is Becoming an Epidemic
Diabetes is becoming an epidemic killer, and the only way to be protected from it is on your plate. It is as pure and simple as that. The right food is more potent than the standardized treatments. The ultimate formula to combat this killer is again on your plates. The missing link to all degenerative chronic conditions is the active form of nutrients. These come straight from the garden, Protect your body from oxidative stress with antioxidants.
Appetite
The ultimate challenge for America is to suppress emotional eating, compulsive eating, and overeating. This has become a challenge. Overeating is an epidemic, and combating the causes is next to impossible. Our appetites are set on the food industries standards. Craving for more of there non-nutritious faux foods have been manipulated. This helps pave the foundation for over consumption of both large meals and between meal eating.
To quit eating more than you need or want is a challenge for most people. That is unless they change their diet to a whole food one. This will include plenty of antioxidants. Very few people binge on broccoli, carrots, watercress fennel, cabbage, cauliflower, or even parsley.
If you pair that up with some protein and fruit you will prevent, stabilize and reduce your need for insulin.

I would think that adding more fruits and vegetables to the diet would be useful in more ways than just antioxidants. The American diet is so heavy on starchy carbohydrates that it only serves to progress diabetes in the overall population. By including more fruits and vegetables in the diet, you are replacing those starchy carbs with more natural carbohydrates that the body can use efficiently. These are also bulky foods because of their fiber content, so they will make the eater fill up more quickly and stave off hunger longer than breads. Fruits and vegetables are much lower calorie foods than breads, so they can facilitate weight loss that way as well. Fruit and vegetable consumption should be absolutely encouraged for diabetes by all nutritionists.
