Leafy greens foil type 2 diabetes in studies.

Leafy Plants

Researchers from Leicester University in the UK analyzed pooled data from six studies examining links between fruit and vegetable consumption and type 2 diabetes found that the increased intake of green leafy vegetables lowered the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

They said it should be investigated further. They also cautioned that further research is needed before this can be used for giving specific advice to individuals.

Greens 

To recommend a diet high in greens may be dangerous. Not so much to the patient, but to the green paper coming in from the prescription pad.

It amazes me that this needs further study, while drugs are being used on a regular basis. It is either researchers, and doctors are so well educated by the drug companies, that they now have tunnel vision, or they have no understanding of how a body functions.

Diet and Nutrition

Diet and nutrition are the two missing ingredients when talking about chronic health problems in America. This fact is bankrupting the nation while causing undue suffering.

On the other hand it is the pharmaceutical companies and health care that brings in the big bucks. This may have a lot to do with the direction of health care or sick care depending how you look at it.  

Hi-I’m Kathy Bee. I wanted to introduce myself to you as I am a reporter for Naturalnews University. I have a background in education and a passion for health and wellness. As a former teacher, I know that children are where we really need to focus our attention. For many, their lifestyle habits are killing them slowly. I studied nutrition with the goal in mind to make changes in the way people view food and health. Knowledge is key! I have been fortunate enough to align myself with like minded people and promote wellness in all areas as a team. Each person has something they specialize in and together we become stronger. I am working with an amazing chiropractor who has a unique approach. Dr. Roe is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor who has been able to improve the health and lives of so many people through gentle chiropractic while educating the patients at the same time. When we take control of our own lives by learning and applying information-we all advance in a positive direction. Let me hear from you with ideas,thoughts or questions. Bee Healthy!

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.
