Controlling Blood Glucose levels naturally

[Guest guest]

..Studies show that that it may be a lack of fiber in the typical American diet

that exacerbates sugar's long-term harmful effects!

..A study performed at the University of Buffalo concludes that it is a

combination of a lack of exercise, a diet filled with hydrogenated and saturated

fat, and consumption of refined sugar combined with only tiny bits of fiber that

increases risk of chronic medical problems like diabetes.

 

..Numerous additional studies confirm that Chromium Picolinate is essential to

maintain Healthy Glucose levels and to store Glycogen.

 

 

Chromium (400-600 mgs),, Natural Vitamin E supplements (400+ IU),

Alfalfa, Fenugreek and Lipoic Acid are important aids in maintaining healthy

sugar levels in addition to sufficient Chromium as a deterrant to chronic

disease!

 

Studies have linked sugar and chocolate cravings with Magnesium deficiencies!

 

..Does sugar affect my immune system?

Answer...Yes, absolutely! Sugar reduces your body's ability to fight infections

and drains it's reserve of B-vitamins! The B-Vitamins are used up metabolizing

the sugar!!

Food processing and refinement rob the body of much-needed nutrients! To

strengthen your immune system cut back on sugar and eat whole natural

foods...(not refined or processed) as much as possible!!

 

..Are there any natural sweeteners I can use?

 

Answer...Certainly! Stevia is an excellent sugar substitute. Stevia is popular

in Europe, Japan, Australia, South America and North America.

Refined extracts of Stevia are estimated to be 200 to 300 times sweeter than

sugar, but have virtually NO CALORIES! Furthermore, Stevia does not raise blood

sugar levels and can be used in cooking and baking.

 

..Is Stevia safe for hypoglycemia and diabetics?

 

Answer...Positively Yes!

For individuals with a raging sweet tooth, Stevia may represent a reasonable

alternative. It satisfies the craving for sugar, without sugar's impact on blood

gluose levels, or it's contribution to obesity, tooth decay, and several

degenerative diseases. Like aspartame, stevia has virtually NO calories, but

UNLIKE aspartame, it is not associated with adverse side effects!

 

 

..How does brown rice syrup affect blood sugar levels?

Answer...Made from 100% whole brown rice, and comprised of 60% complex

carbohydrates but less than 15% simple sugars, this sweetener is metabolized

steadily and offers an even source of energy!!

Hi JoAnn,

 

Hydrogenated yes, sugar yes, long chain sat fats, maybe. But Medium chain sat

fats no way!

 

Short & Medium chain sat fats (coconut oil is ~ 65 %) elevate metabolism,

elevate the burning of stored long chain fats

and reduce Insulin resistance.

Knowing what you know about Rebekah, can I give her some Coconut oil I have

just ordered some from a guy I know in New Zealand - $13 for 500mls.

Cheaper for me that ordering from the Philippines. I am really excited

about getting some, but was wondering about Beks and the long chain fatty

acid issue - C oil being medium chain?

Hi Tracy,

 

MCTs are much more easily digested and made available to the body than any other

form of fat. The siliva in the mouth

will do a good job at breaking the MCTs apart and into free fatty acids. These

smaller forms are then available

straight into the blood as they don't need the elaborate lipoprotein protective

shell that other longer chain fats need.

 

Many hospitals use MCTs for critical patients and those with compromised

intestinal systems. I suspect though that you

may still have issues with inadequate Vit A, D, E & K as these still need

lipoprotein support to circulate in the blood.

 

If Beck can make lipoproteins, then adding coconut oil and the fat soluble vits

may indeed help to get these into her

system.

 

Is the oil virgin or RBD? While the RBD form still is Lauric rich, it has most

of the other nutrients stripped out and

thus I would suggest VCNO may be a better long term product.

 

Did you manage to get a RBC fatty acid analysis?

 

Good luck and keep me informed,

Greg

Greg,

Greetings!

I'm assuming the article's referring to excess Dairy and Meats. In

my mind Coconut oil falls in the same category as Avocadoes or Olive

oils. They are rich in saturated fats, but these saturated fats are

essentially quite different from the animal proteins. I'm sure the

article was not in any way referring to coconut oil, although I know

some consider it a saturated fat.

I'm aware that coconut oils are quite healthy. :-)

Didn't mean to upset anyone.

Hi,

 

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCNO) is in another class again as it's very high MCT & SMT

content of about 65 % makes it a very

unique food. It's long chain sat fat content is only about 24 %, which is not

far behind olive oil.

 

I'm sure you know MCT's are not stored as fat, don't spike glucose or insulin,

can't be attacked by free radicals, don't

need LDL and other lipoproteins to get around in the blood, don't need carnitine

to cross cell membranes, spares liver

glycogen stores, ups the burning of stored long chain fats, etc...

 

This makes VCNO a very unique food and one worthy of use in your diet.

But Greg, aren't those vitamins processed through the liver? Maybe it's not

that the person is getting inadequate amounts

of A,D,E & K, but that their liver isn't working right...

Hi Mindy,

 

Its more a problem of the liver and gall blather not making enough bile salts to

digest fatty acids and transport them

across the intestinal wall. MCTs (such as in VCNO) need little digestive

support and are widely used in critical care

wards and for those with liver problems.
