JULY
Rest before Sleeping is a good idea
How to find hidden sugar
Compare the number of sugar grams to the number of total carbohydrate grams.
Try to buy foods that have at least one-third and less of their total carbohydrates coming
from sugars. We need to eat complex carbohydrates from unprocessed foods not simple carbohydrates that
come from refined unhealthy foods. Why do you think you have all your cravings, suffer from candida, gain
weight, develop diabetes and heart attack?
Diabetes
The phyto-nutrients found in spices
help to control many of the pathological mechanisms that underlie diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Cinnamon, fenugreek,
garlic, coriander, ginger and caper are the spices most effective in lowering blood glucose and abnormal blood lipids. The myriad
of antioxidant compounds in spices also help to protect against the severe oxidative damage to which all diabetes sufferers
are subject.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant and free radical scavenger that cannot
be made in the body so must be derived from the diet. Vitamin C is essential for a wide range of processes
and functions which occur in the body. Look for a Vitamin C supplement that contains Bioflavonoids which are natural
synergists to Vitamin C to help support the immune system and circulation. Vitamin C also aids the absorption of iron and
assists tissue repair and wound healing.
Eating a Well-Balanced Diet
An empty stomach,
or drastically reducing your daily intake of important vitamins, minerals and proteins found in fruits, vegetables, meats
and poultry can all spur a headache. Sudden rises and dips in glucose levels have also been attributed
to some headaches. Watch fad diets carefully to ensure that you are getting the nutrients your body needs,
and never skip meals. When unable to sit down and eat a regular meal, grab a healthy snack to avoid a headache.
No
pushups right before bed!
Although daily exercise is a desirable asset to wellness, try not to exercise
during the 3 hours before bedtime to avoid stimulation that could make falling asleep more difficult. Exercise also raises
your body temperature, causing it to take longer to reach the cooler temperature associated with sleep onset.
