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.
