3 Dietary strategies to fight diabetes
Hi John
I’m going to start your day with good news and bad news.
First, the “
not-so-rosy” news.
At this moment about
26 million people in the US have
diabetes—that’s
about
1 in 12 of us!
And those numbers are
not going down, my friend.
Now, far and away the more
common form of diabetes is
Type 2—about
90% of all diabetics have this form.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body’s cells
resist the insulin that
your pancreas makes—it’s like they “ignore” the signal they’re being
given. As a result, they don’t absorb glucose out of your blood like
they’re supposed to, and instead glucose builds up, up, up in your
bloodstream.
Type 2 diabetes is
nothing to take lightly or play around with.
Because of the inflammation caused by the excess glucose flowing through
your blood vessels, diabetes can cause a wide range of
very serious
health issues—heart disease, kidney disease and nerve damage (that can result
in blindness or amputation of limbs), to name a few.
Now, the
good news:
Type 2 diabetes is VERY
preventable and even if you DO have it
already, it’s VERY
easy to help counteract it.
What you need to do is take a look at the possible underlying causes and DO
something about them!
Let’s take a closer look at how you can help prevent yourself from becoming
one of the grim statistics I quoted above, or if you’ve already been diagnosed,
how you can help dramatically improve your state of health.
Primary causes of Type 2
diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is
very preventable and/or controllable because it is
primarily the result of your
DIET!
So it only follows that if you address the aspects of your diet that cause
diabetes, you can help stop it at its very foundation.
Here are three of the main culprits:
Diabetes-causing diet
culprit #1- Stop the glucose tidal wave
If you were to ask me for a glass of water and I poured the water to near
the top of the glass, you’d probably have no problem drinking the water, right?
But what if I kept pouring and pouring and pouring and the glass began
overflowing all over you? Hopefully, you’d say, “
Sher, what are you
doing to me?”
Well, many people are eating
foods that are causing their
pancreas
to say exactly the same thing!
You see, the typical modern diet is LOADED with
refined carbs and sugars—I’m
talking about things like donuts, bagels, soda, snack chips, pasta, hamburger
and hot dog rolls, cookies, cakes, pastries, white bread and breakfast cereals.
Foods like these cause a
tidal wave of glucose gushing through your
bloodstream.
Now, if you just had them every
once in a while, that would be one
thing.
But many people eat foods like these
day in and day out, and are
stressing their poor pancreases to the limit…and eventually the pancreas might
not be able to keep up with your constant, ever-growing demand for insulin.
At that point, glucose starts to build up in your blood and you become a
perfect candidate for Type 2 diabetes.
To help stop the tidal wave and give your poor pancreas a fighting chance,
it’s essential to eliminate as many refined carbs from your diet as you can, and
concentrate on
complex carbs instead—like whole grains, vegetables and
legumes.
Not only will you help improve your blood glucose levels, but you’ll also
likely see some excess weight drop off without even trying!
Diabetes-causing diet
culprit #2- Get the Omega-3 EFAs your body needs
Omega-3 essential fatty acids provide crucial support to your metabolism
including
maintaining proper insulin levels.
Plus they’re Nature’s anti-inflammatory, and that includes helping to
reduce
inflammation in your blood vessels caused by excess glucose!
Unfortunately our typical diets are heavy in processed foods, meat from
grain-fed animals and vegetable oils--all of which are high in
Omega-6 fatty
acids but are severely lacking the important
Omega-3 EFAs.

Avoiding processed foods and
vegetable oils and eating more
natural sources of Omega-3 EFAs (like fatty
fish) can help, but for many that's not enough--especially if you've been a fan
of packaged foods for a long time and/or would rather stick needles in your
eyeballs than to eat fish!
That's when a high quality, Omega-3 fish oil supplement like
VitalMega-3
can help you satisfy this vital need.

Just 2 capsules a day gives you 2,000 mg of pure, medical grade fish oil
that includes 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA (the necessary Omega-3 fatty acids) plus
other Omega-3 EFAs.
Diabetes-causing diet
culprit #3- Keep acidity low in your body
This is the
newest issue to come out of some recent studies!
A study of more than 60,000 women recently published in the journal
Diabetologia
has concluded that the higher overall acidity of a person’s diet
increases
the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
The researchers noted that a typical modern diet rich in
acid-creating
foods (like refined carbs, processed/fast foods and animal products) can
induce an “acid overload” in the body.
If the acid foods are not counterbalanced by enough alkaline foods (like
fresh vegetables and fruits) it can lead to a state of “chronic metabolic
acidosis”
(in other words, having an acid pH)—which reduces the ability
of insulin to “bind” properly to your cells, making your cells less sensitive
to the insulin.
Insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes in the making!
Plus having excess acidity in your body is downright
harmful to your
pancreas.
You see, more than
any other organ in the body, your pancreas is
VERY
sensitive to pH—it
must have an
alkaline environment in
order to function properly!
In addition, acidity in your bloodstream is harmful to your
kidneys
too—because they are responsible for filtering acid wastes out of your blood
and putting them into your urine. And if they’re already dealing with
added stress from excess glucose to boot, you are asking for big time kidney
trouble.
But the good news is eating for a more alkaline pH is not only easy, but
downright delicious!
The
Great
Taste No Pain system

http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
will guide you all the way in this crucial step.
First of all, the Great Taste No Pain recipe book is
loaded with
easy,
delicious dishes featuring nourishing REAL foods—which will likely
make you
not even miss those processed, refined, junk foods you
used
to eat in the past!
Plus the
Great
Taste No Pain manuals show you how to put together meals that not only
taste spectacular but are more easily digested!
Not only can that help minimize acid wastes in your system and help keep ALL
of your organs nourished and healthier, but you'll likely experience fewer
digestive problems (like gas, bloating and constipation) as a result!
Plus you’ll even get guides that show you
which foods are acid-creating
and which are alkaline, so you’ll know exactly which ones you’ll want to
incorporate more of into your diet.
Type 2 diabetes is a monster that is growing
larger and larger in our
society, and it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon.
But
you are not helpless against it!
Make the appropriate changes in
your diet to help keep Type 2
diabetes far away from you, or help turn it around if you’ve already got it!
Start now and see what a difference it can make.
To your health,

PS: Always be
sure to let your doctor or healthcare provider know what supplements you are
taking.
PPS: Maria’s glucose
numbers are coming down and she avoided diverticulitis surgery to boot!
Hi Sherry,
First of all I'd like to thank you for your
website. I was supposed to be scheduled for surgery for my reoccurring
diverticulitis. Before accepting an appointment I did a lot of research on the
Internet. I was thrilled when I discovered your website and immediately began
to follow your eating regimen. It made a lot of sense to me and had all the
foods which I had already been eating but not in the combinations that you
recommended.
Was I ever surprised to see the results of only
a few changes! No more pain, I began to lose weight without trying and the
numbers on my diabetes test kit keep going down. It seemed impossible that just
the simple switching of the combinations would do all this. Now I have your
books and am trying out more of your delicious recipes. I'm sharing my good
news with all my family and friends. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
Thanks again for the new me.
