by Robert P. Tracy, Rob

Diabetic treatment clearly includes smart daily Food choices. A top question we hear is, “Give me a list of diabetic friendly foods that I SHOULD KEEP IN MY KITCHEN so I can easily make my own healthy meals." This IS NOT the same question as “give me recipes." This is from the diabetic who is being successful and looking to move the sugar and weight numbers down even further. These people are at the heart of the success stories.

In this writing you'll find out how diabetics can win the "defeat
diabetes" game through supplements. You'll see how Supermarket
foods (both processed and fresh) are failing the nutrition test and
how to avoid this trap. In addition, you'll learn how both
lifestyle and aging in older diabetics may make the situation more
difficult and how you can best deal with it. Lastly, you'll
understand how something simple like controlling blood sugar and
weight may just be easily controlled by replacing missing nutrients
like Chromium.

If diabetes is 90 preventable.

It is hard enough to be a type 2 diabetic, but when you find out
that most of today's processed food aggravates or caused your
condition, it's even harder.(The New England Journal of Medicine
September 13, 2001; 345)

Let's get to the "12 Reasons."

Today, in the era of Holistic Medicine, proper supplemental
nutrition is not in competition with traditional medical approaches
for controlling diabetes.

Instead, they should be mutually suportive:

"Top 12 failures" that keep you from getting 100 of
the population doesn't eat the way the Food Pyramid Guide suggests.
You can see the need to supplement your diet with high-quality
whole food supplements.

3.If you drink Coke or Pepsi, be aware that "soda sucks chromium
out of your system," and chromium is an essential mineral that
helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and minimize the onset of
diabetes (Beijing Medical University study, Harvard School of
Public Health).

4.If you shop at a grocery store, be aware that many of the
Supermarket Foods consist of refined high-fat, high-sugar (hhigh
fructose corn syrup). This diet alone contributes to major
nutrient deficiencies and diabetic problems.

5.Your favorite highly processed foods often see drastically
reduced nutrient content. Processors use highly refined wheat to
make white flour that has removed over 80
of its zinc, 87 of its manganese and 50 of land in the
world has been damaged.

Re-discovering Supplements in the United States
Is it a wonder that diabetic supplements and herbal remedies have
been rediscovered and become so popular overnight? Diabetes is a
dangerous and complicated disease that demands a lifestyle change
vanquish it's debilitating effects. This demands:

Diabetic Diet: Not just "lose weight" but eat healthy. This
means adding supplements focused on blood sugar and weight loss.

Exercise. This means getting out and moving around briskly -
like the famous "Rove Exercise" of Live Longer Now fame.

Weight Loss. The Supermarket system is not helping here, so you
need to learn how to safely navigate the dangerous food aisles of
your grocery store, avoiding those foods that cause the most
diabetic damage and focus on foods that will help make you healthy.

So take control of your destiny and educate your self, be your
number one heath researcher and counselor. Make those lifestyle
changes, and see if supplements might not be the key to better
health.
