Reversing Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus affects close to 9% of the United States population. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, we really do not know the long term effects of the many drugs that are on the market today to treat diabetes. The answer is to find a more natural way. History proves that many mistakes in the name of medicine has occurred, just research George Washington dying at the hands of prominent physicians. George Washington did not want this type of therapy of course, but his family insisted and he bled to death and died. Current research now proves that Diabetes is a lifestyle related disease and can be reversed with proper nutrition, plenty of exercise and let me add, right living. To learn how to reverse diabetes, you will need to understand food chemistry and how it relates to body chemistry. There is an imbalance at work when it comes to diabetes and the key is in creating homeostasis within. Diabetes is a combined term that comes from the Greek word to go through and as we know, frequent urination is one of the symptoms of a person with diabetes. Mellitus comes from the Greek word for honey. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of the body's means of utilizing sugar, the body's basic fuel.




According to research, in the United States alone inappropriate diet is the major factor associated with insulin insensitivity. In obese people, type 2 diabetes is common. As I look at this I can see that these two elements can be corrected with proper diet and adequate exercise thus reducing your risks of diabetes. Processed foods and non-foods can cause a person at risk to develop the disease. The reason why you should avoid white bread, White rice and flour is because there are chemicals used to make those products white that can cause diabetes.

I hope this article causes you to think about self responsibility as it relates to health and wellness. My job is to educate and inform. I see many people day by day suffering needlessly, waiting for some miracle cure that does not exist. God has given us all things that pertain to life here on earth, the problem is that we want to live our life outside of natures laws and then look for a quick fix, an unnatural cure. The time is now to live in accordance with right living principles, good thoughts, whole food eating, plenty of fresh air and bodily exercise. When we make right food choices and right lifestyle choices, we will walk in wellness.
