Sugar Diabetes-Not So Sweet (Part 2) - Catherine Has More Health Info
Sugar Diabetes-Not So Sweet
(Part 2)
Last week we talked about how not to become one of the
diabetic research statistics. Remember we were discussing how to fool the brain
into thinking we had a piece of apple pie.
In place of the sugar laden homemade apple pie (sorry Mom) instead bake
apples (real apples fresh from the market) that are cored, with a little butter (real) in the
center, sprinkle with honey (raw) and cinnamon.
A pinch of mace really makes the apples taste yummy. Bake at 350 degrees
until soft. Then sprinkle or serve with whole or chopped almonds! The baked
apples give the same apple taste, honey the taste of sweetness and the almonds
fool the brain into thinking it is a crunchy crust. How sweet.
What you will have done is satisfied your “sweet tooth” and your
body cells rejoice at the same time. You will have given yourself a dessert
high in fiber, and the essential trace amounts of chromium found in the butter,
honey, and the nuts. You have no preservatives, no bad fats from a crust, no
sugar, no harmful side effects.
Even better “apple pie” would be to place thinly sliced
apples on a plate, speckle with honey, sprinkle with lemon juice (from the
lemon not the bottle), shake on some cinnamon and lastly dust with ground
nuts. Mmmm good. These are wholesome treats even for the
diabetic which can tolerate apples very well for several reasons:- One they are loaded with fiber (a trooper against the low fiber diet).
- Two, a significant amount of apple sugar is fructose which requires less insulin than glucose in order to be metabolized and produce energy.
- And thirdly, apples contain pectin which acts to regulate the release of sugars, allowing them into the blood stream slowly, progressively and naturally.
Diabetes can be controlled naturally by as much of
what you don’t eat as much as by what you eat.
Don’t be fooled,
diabetes symptoms can and will disappear when the body is treated according to
GOD’S PLAN. Your life can be sweet again.
So pass the “apple pie” please.There are many expert theories on the cause and cure of
diabetes thus further professional counsel is advised.
To discover the riches of GOD’S PLAN in nature and the
garden is a great treasure, for one will find it is still man’s greatest
apothecary.

Sugar Diabetes-Not So Sweet - Catherine Sinclair Has More Health Info
Sugar Diabetes-Not So Sweet
Thought must be given to these statistics now - if you don’t want to become a statistic in the research. Do you know mature onset diabetes (II) symptoms can be eliminated in your life? Research tells us diabetes comes from a diet of highly processed, chromium-impoverished foods. All junk foods are impoverished processed foods of any sort-canned, boxed, or packaged generally laden with sugar, salt and preservatives.
None are considered live nor enzyme-rich foods.
White refined sugar is a demonic little devil that takes away your sweet life. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that slowly poisons the body by repeated assaults on the pancreas forcing this gland to work overtime in producing insulin. Eventually, it becomes exhausted and produces too little insulin thus your doctor prescribes insulin to relieve symptoms.
A shortage of insulin is not always the problem however. Sometimes it’s a shortage of the trace mineral chromium. Insulin needs tiny amounts of chromium to be able to escort glucose through cells walls. All sorts of foods and plants have a reputation for helping to prevent and control diabetes. Why is it then we are suffering so much pain and disease in the wealthiest nation in the world? I think it is because, “Too much of a good thing is bad for you.” as my mother used to say. How right she was.
The biggest culprit of diabetes is the high fat, high sugar and low fiber diet. Simple. Yet, it seems we Americans “want it all and want it now.” Too much of a good thing that is. I’m not advocating we entirely stop eating fats, sugar or even cake, I’m advocating we use our heads as well as our mouths when we eat. As simple as that sounds it’s not so easy to do as many have told me. That’s why we have to play the game “Fool Me” with the brain.
Nutritionists know a high fiber diet will help in warding off weight as well as diabetes. So how do we play the game? Like this for example. Outstanding fiber foods are almonds, apples, blackberries, broccoli, corn, fresh peas, kidney beans, plums, potatoes, prunes, raisins, spinach, sweet potatoes and wholegrain breads and zucchini.
Ok, are you ready for dessert? Let’s say you really like apple pie. So instead of buying the sugar preservative laden commercial pie or bake a sugar laden homemade pie we can instead... (to be continued next week). There are many expert theories on the cause and cure of diabetes thus further professional counsel is advised.

Protect Your Memory with Three Miraculous Garden Herbs - Catherine Sinclair Has More Health Info
Protect Your Memory with Three Miraculous Garden Herbs
Part Three - Turmeric
We discussed last time the second of the three miraculous herbs from your garden that can bolster your memory, boost your brain power and fight forgetfulness naturally. In part one we discussed the benefits of sage. In part two - rosemary. This week the third miraculous herb turmeric has the spotlight.Curcumin is prepared from the turmeric root. It’s been observed in persons suffering from Alzheimer’s disease that white blood cells are impaired when seeking to destroy the toxic accumulation of beta amyloid plaque. Researchers also found that curcumin may give a boost to the white blood cells so they can continue to do their mission and eat away at the toxic build up that’s linked with Alzheimer’s.
Since Indian research shows that even a teaspoon of turmeric has medicinal value, curcumin is used extensively in India. It makes sense to enjoy turmeric as the Indians do. They use turmeric in nearly all their prepared dishes and it has proven good results. India has lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease than anywhere else in the world. Many anti- Alzheimer’s patent medicines are deliberately designed and being formulated to reduce amyloid beta levels and potentially reduce Alzheimer’s symptoms.
Curcumin has been found to be well tolerated at levels ranging from 2000 to 8000 mg a day for three months with no adverse effects. I find the easiest way to add turmeric to my diet is to buy a good quality powdered herb and add it to my favorite seasonings such as Dash or other salt alternative seasoning. Turmeric in small amounts has no strong flavor and can be easily disguised.
Turmeric does taste bitter when used in large amounts so, I sprinkle a small but generous amount on my breakfast eggs. Or you can take turmeric in capsule form. Using turmeric is not only beneficial in aiding Alzheimer’s disease but as a medicinal drink may aid digestion, protect stomach lining to ward off ulcers, relieve arthritis, treat dysentery, protect the liver, combat heart disease, and prevent certain cancers according to Drs. Bernie Olin, editor of The Lawrence Review of Natural Products and Alan R. Gaby, M.D. a Baltimore physician, president of the American Holistic Medical Association, who practices nutritional and natural medicine.
Use one teaspoon of turmeric powder per cup of warm milk. Drink up to three cups a day. Unusually large amounts of turmeric may cause stomach upset. If the drink doesn’t agree with you discontinue use. Remember it is important to test all herbs to see that it is fresh and alive with life giving energy. To test I use what I call the “Live Food Indicator.” More info about the” Live Food Indicator” can be found on www.livefooddiet.us.
Don’t forget! These three memory enhancing herbs; sage, rosemary and turmeric are sure to spice up your life and you will soon discover you will no longer wonder where those blasted keys are! If you’d like to use the three miracle herbs: sage, rosemary and turmeric in addition to standard therapies it is wise to discuss it with your chosen health practitioner.
Alzheimer’s disease, ulcers, arthritis, liver disease, heart disease and cancer all require further professional counsel. Check out 90 Day Challenge for FREE. Get your own personal health assessement by clicking on the picture. :)

Blast Your Forgetter - Catherine Sinclair Has More Health Info
Blast Your Forgetter Not Your Keys
Protect Your Memory with Three Simple Herbs
Part Two - Rosemary
We discussed last time that there are three miraculous herbs
from your garden that can bolster your memory, boost your brain power and fight
forgetfulness naturally. In part one we discussed the benefits of sage. This time
the second herb rosemary has the spotlight.
Rosemary, or Rosmarinus
officinalis, is another commonly used kitchen garden herb. Rosemary has
traditionally been used as a mild diuretic for edema, to improve kidney
function and used as a detoxifier. However, research also shows that rosemary
may be useful in the prevention and treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s
disease.
One active component in rosemary is carnosic acid, which,
like sage, may have neuroprotective benefits in the management of dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. Studies suggest that the rosemary activates a pathway that
protects neurons from oxidative stress and excitotoxicity (toxins which cause
harm by significant over stimulation) and reduced damage from reactive oxygen
species. Unlike patent medicines
carnosic acid crosses the “blood-brain barrier” and has no harmful side effects.
According to Dr. Jonathan Wright, carnosic acid is a
naturally occurring therapeutic type constituent which only activates when
there is potential damage to the cell, such as when free radical damage is
occurring. Otherwise, it is inactive when not needed, making rosemary a safe
and well tolerated herb. Carnosic acid does two other things of significance for
the brain. It prevents the narrowing of
arteries to the brain and also increases the body’s levels of glutathione,
which is an important antioxidant and detoxifier.
Rosemary has a long history as a memory-enhancing herb. Today
scientific research has shown the impact of rosemary on cognitive function. 28
volunteers were assessed at regular intervals after given amounts ranging from
750 to 6000 milligrams daily. The most effective amount was 750 milligrams
daily, an amount closest to what a culinary intake might be. The highest
amounts were deemed to actually impair cognitive performance. [i]
Dr. Eric Powell[ii]
tells us that tests over a lengthy period have demonstrated that there is a lot
to the old saying, “Rosemary-that’s for remembrance.” He says:
“There is no doubt that small doses
of fresh rosemary help improve the memory. In common with camomile (sic) and
wild yam it is also of much service in the treatment of congestive headaches and
insomnia. It undoubtedly has an affinity for the brain.”
An easy way to incorporate rosemary into your diet is to
sprinkle rosemary on your prepared foods such as mashed potatoes, tomato sauces
or Italian dishes or steep a tablespoon of rosemary in a cup of hot water for
10 minutes or so. Add honey and lemon to taste and enjoy the refreshing
benefits. It tastes wonderful.
If you don’t have time to add rosemary to your diet you may
choose to enjoy the aroma of rosemary essential oil. Rosemary therapeutic
essential oil alone may be effective in improving mental function. When 20
healthy volunteers were exposed to the aroma of rosemary’s essential oil
containing 1, 8-cineole, they performed better and with more speed and increased
concentration on cognitive testing.[iii]
So enjoy the aroma of rosemary essential oil or make your
tea and make your memory stick with you. See you next time when we discuss the
third herb vital to enhancing memory and fighting forgetfulness.
