Diabetes and Heart Disease
Heart disease and Diabetes are related to nutrition and both can be prevented or helped by the same foods and supplements. Type 2 diabetes is normally preceded by decades of slowly increasing insulin, blood sugar, and belt-size (.. and it is always healthier to sit on your fat than have your fat sit on you). Early prevention is very effective but there come a point when insulin production permanently breaks down. Smart nutrition (and portion control) can first prevent overweight and diabetes, and eventually heart disease.
Both conditions are epidemic with 1 in 13 Americans and 1 in 3 of those over age 60 developing 'adult' diabetes. Most will develop heart, kidney, nerve and blood vessel diseases for an amazing 1/4th of total health care costs! Other countries have similar increasing rates. Later-in-life diabetes (during pregnancy being a warning) is an eventual one-way track to heart disease.
What makes a diabetic? Simply put: when your pre-breakfast blood sugar (plasma glucose) gets over 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L). Another measure is when 2 hours after taking a dose of glucose the blood level is still over 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), with over 140 (7.8) starting to suggest a problem. Pre-breakfast 95 (5.3) is good, under 36 (2) is seriously low blood sugar, while above 180 (10) a safety-valve opens that sends glucose to the urine. To confuse anybody, the numbers changed from mg to the 18 times smaller mmole, they increase by 14% between 'blood' and 'plasma' in syringe samples -but the numbers for 'blood drop' and 'syringe-plasma' are similar. However, it's the big picture that counts, not the decimal points of the reading. This is one area where a blood test is important since serious organ or foot damage (!) can happen early.
Mila is an excellent source of Omega3's!!
