Kick Diabetes Right in the Rear

Pretty nice view, eh? Yeah it must be nice. The sister and  her husband went on a nice cruise and he snapped some really fantastic photos along the way. The photo strongly resembles a Bob Ross painting.

In the last blog the topic of Diabetes was briefly introduced. The author is becoming alarmed at the growing number of Americans that are falling prey to this avoidable malady. Much-needed research was fueled by prodigious amounts of tea(no sugar, thank you). The articles mention the danger of sugar, junk food, bad carbs and the  sedentary lifestyles that include the seated posture for extended periods of time(duh!).

The next culprit was diet, of course. The author's diet was re-examined and found to be severely deficient: breads, pies, pizzas, cookies, churros ...Diabetes would surely strike if no corrective actions were taken. Thankfully, the ship changed course dramatically and smooth sailing resulted. Unfortunately, junk food carbs are fattening, they raise blood sugar levels and they affect hormonal levels. Rats! Check out this new book-the material could literally save your life. It's only natural that all the things we love come back to bite us in the rear.

Keeping that in mind, many of the recommendations offered in the research have proven highly beneficial. For example, apple cider vinegar and its odoriferous glory now augments the diet... The bitter drink reduces inflammation, blood pressure, improves sleep etc.,. The product smells awful and the taste is not much better. A slow start is in order here.

Another product that is being consumed is rye bread. Very odd: a bonafide bread! Something to do about phytoestrogens and all that and an increase in Testosterone levels. Very interesting.. In no time at all a pair of 20-inch arms will be displayed to the amazement and horror the apartment dwellers. Belief and disbelief.

Another of the ideas presented was the recommendation that fruits and vegetables should become a large component of a diet. Tomatoes, avocados, sweet potatoes, broccoli. Plant-based products are to receive a larger emphasis now. Make waves.

The last variation is the elimination of refined sugar from the diet. A good many folks encounter failure and setback at this critical juncture.  Dietary boot camp becomes the order of the day. Hand-to-hand combat is necessary to defeat Diabetes and all its associated problems. Tea and coffee are presently taken without sugar, thank you. The author is currently engaged in a competition of sorts, termed Diabetes Challenge 2014, with his brother. The gentle reader is encouraged to participate if for no other reason than vanity.Victory is assured-updates will follow. Stay cranky.
