Cinnamon Helps Treat Diabetes


People with diabetes may help keep their bodies healthy by simply adding a dash of cinnamon to their diet, new research reports.

In a study conducted by the American Diabetics Association, diabetics who incorporated less than one-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon per day for 40 days into their normal diets experienced a decrease in levels of blood sugar, cholesterol and blood fats.

The current findings suggest that a small amount of cinnamon can help protect diabetics from excess blood glucose and other potential complications of their condition, study author Dr. Richard A. Anderson of the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland told Reuters Health.

Anderson noted that cinnamon may also help hold off the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk of the condition.

Anderson and his team found that cinnamon-takers experienced a drop in blood levels of glucose, fats and cholesterol by up to 30 percent. No change was seen in the people taking placebo capsules.

Anderson explained that cinnamon contains compounds that help make insulin more efficient, improving the hormone's ability to bring glucose to the cells that need it.

As an added bonus, cinnamon contains virtually no calories, Anderson said, allowing diabetics to add zest to their meals without adding to their waistlines.

Previous research has shown that cinnamon appears to help fat cells recognize and respond to insulin. In test tube and in animal studies, the spice increased glucose metabolism by about 20 times.

Women’s Heart Disease Awareness

February 4, 2005 was nationally recognized as GO RED Day, a recognition day for women’s cardiovascular health. Wearing red on February 4 to acknowledge cardiovascular disease as the most deadly illness faced by women in the United States. Not only is cardiovascular disease the leading cause of death in American women, it also claims more lives than the next seven causes of death combined. One in 2.5 women diagnosed with heart disease or stroke will die from the disease, while only one in 30 women diagnosed with breast cancer will die. On a more positive note, unlike cancers, heart disease is preventable through lifestyle change and awareness. The best way to lower your risk of dying of heart disease is to learn about cardiovascular disease, know the symptoms, and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Cardiovascular disease includes disease of the heart and blood vessels. Problems often begin as early as childhood and develop over a lifetime. Gradually, plaque builds up inside the blood vessels and eventually can grow enough to significantly reduce the blood’s flow through the arteries. The most serious problems arise when the plaque becomes fragile and ruptures. If the plaque breaks away from the side of the blood vessel, it can cause a blood clot or travel to another part of the body, such as the brain.

A stroke is a blood clot in the brain. When nutrients and oxygen to or from the brain are blocked, it causes that part of the brain to begin to die. For this reason, stroke is a major cause of paralysis and reduction of motor skills.

Here is a list of things anyone can do to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease:

* Visit your doctor regularly
* Get your blood pressure checked
* Do not smoke or expose yourself to second-hand smoke
* Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat
* Exercise regularlyControl diabetes for life

For more information on GO RED and cardiovascular disease prevention, go to http://www.americanheart.org/.

Proper diet can help you to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. A diet rich in antioxidants can help your body to remain healthy at the cellular level. Biometics CELL CARE is full of beneficial antioxidants and many more valuable nutrients and vitamins!

May you have all the wealth you deserve, the health you desire, and the free time yourequire to enjoy your life.

Your Heart, In Your Hands

Making healthy decisions now will lead to a happy, healthy heart.

There are many men and women having/dying from heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. When the heart muscle dies, there is little one can do.
It’s an epidemic!

We take the family out to eat at fast food places or to a nice restaurant to enjoy a good, big fat steak, baked potato with lots of butter and a cocktail.

You may ask, “How can one huge meal, even with all those fats, trigger an attack?“

It’s not from just that one meal, it’s from a lifestyle of eating. Nearly one million Americans die each year of heart and blood vessel diseases, and heart disease accounts for 30 percent of deaths worldwide. People, we are dying of heart disease because of the way we eat.

You cannot take one pill, no matter how powerful, and then follow it with a huge fat meal of pork ribs, French fries, ice cream and soda. Reduce your intake of foods that may be killing you.

Don’t wait for a symptom!

If your waiting for a signal, it will probably come too late. Approximately 40 percent of people will develop a heart attack and not even have a symptom.

Don’t think, “Well, when I have chest pains, or I start feeling something in my heart, then I’ll change my behavior and change my eating habits.” A heart attach strikes when you least expect it.

The heart is an organ about the size of your fist that beats day and night, at sixty to eighty beats a minute. Two main arteries encircle the heart, supplying it with blood and oxygen.

As time goes on, you get nicks or little injuries, in the lining of those arteries from thing like high blood pressure, stress, inhaling smoke, or eating the wrong foods. In order to heal the injuries, the body deposit’s a cholesterol type of band-aid patch on the injuries, leaving a cholesterol deposit. Year after year, you have more and more of these patches lining your arteries, that allows less and less blood to flow through. Leading to heart disease.

The treatment…angioplasty and stent. A procedure in which a tiny plastic tube (a stent) is inserted to an already blocked artery, allowing blood to flow through.
Then there is bypass surgery. These are NOT the TRUE answer to the problem of heart disease!

We must start to focus on the ROOT CAUSES of the disease and avoid foods and other substances that cause injury to the lining of the blood vessels. Cardiac bypass surgery cost up to $44,000, angioplasty, up to $15,000 with each stent that is put in costing $2,000 each.
Prevention of heart disease costs mere pennies on the dollar.

Many say, “It’s heredity. My dad, and grandfather had it, I guess I’ll have it too.”

In most cases heart disease is not a problem of heredity but of lifestyle, diet and nutrition…what we are putting into our bodies. More often than not, your family is passing down bad eating habits, not heart disease.

What foods do I avoid?

Foods high in sugar and foods that are highly processed. Avoid trans fats completely, limit fried foods and saturated fats and choose healthy fats.

The most important thing you can do to fight heart disease is to understand that your body, according to 1 Corinthians 6:19,20, does not belong to you but belongs to God, and we are to glorify God in our body.

How do we glorify God in our body?

By choosing to lay on the altar foods that are destroying our health. It could be French fries, ice cream, fried chicken, or before bedtime, cookies soda or potato chips.

God desires that you have perfect health both spiritually and physically.

Treat Your Heart Right In February


Treat Your Heart Right In February, And All Year Long

According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are the number one killer in the nation. Since 1963, the president has declared February National Heart Month. You can support the health of your heart with diet and exercise, and a number of supplements.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are naturally-occurring fats commonly found in plants and some fish. The name “Essential” refers to the fact that the human body cannot make these fats on its own, so we must get them from our foods. EFAs have important health benefits for patients at risk for heart disease.

The EFAs, particularly the Omega-3s, have been shown to contribute to cardiovascular health in many ways. Omega-3 fatty acids are natural, mild blood thinners, and seem to work by reducing the "stickiness" of blood cells, which could prevent complications like blood clots and stroke. Omega-3 may also reduce hypertension: studies of large groups of people have found that the more Omega-3 fatty acids people consume, the lower their overall blood pressure levels.

EFAs are also catching the attention of many doctors. As more and more research is published on EFAs regarding their effectiveness for controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, doctors are welcoming the idea of recommending these products for some of their patients, particularly for their patients for whom side effects from prescription medications are troublesome.

How can we increase the amounts of Essential Fatty Acids in our diets? Essential Fatty Acids can be included in the diet by replacing cooking oil and salad dressings with olive oil, and eating less red meat, but probably the easiest way to increase the EFAs in your diet is to take a nutritional supplement. An excellent choice is a supplement that contains both of the Essential Fatty Acids Omega-3 and Omega-6 from plant sources such as flaxseed oil.
