| Conquer Blood Sugar For Weight Loss And Better Health
January 6, 2012 by Dr. Isaac Eliaz
If you ate too many sugary treats during the holidays, sugar cravings may still be dancing in your head. Those cravings often mean your blood sugar is out of balance, putting you at risk for weight gain and diabetes. Luckily, you can shrink your sweet obsession and trim your waistline with some easy, natural solutions that tame blood sugar.
Gone Tomorrow
The holidays have come and gone, and hopefully those of us who made New Year’s resolutions can bring them to fruition in 2012. For many of us, our goals are aimed at living healthier lives and becoming stronger, happier and more energetic. That often means cutting out the undesirable from our diets: excessive sugar, processed foods and trans fats. But with the holiday festivities just over, many of us are experiencing the aftershock of overindulging in party foods, especially desserts. We may still be battling intense sugar cravings and other eating habits left over from the holidays. However, it’s important to know that excessive sugar cravings can signal that your blood glucose levels are out of balance. When left unchecked, chronic blood sugar imbalances can lead to insulin resistance, a sign of metabolic syndrome, also known as prediabetes. The good news is there are natural solutions to help balance blood glucose, improve metabolic health and reduce sugar cravings, allowing you to make a smooth transition to a healthier diet and lifestyle.
Diabetes Epidemic
Metabolic syndrome/prediabetes has become truly epidemic in this country. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that a third of U.S. adults — about 79 million people — are living with this health condition. This represents an alarming increase of 22 million people since 2008. Plus, last year the CDC estimated that, if current trends continue, one in three Americans will have type 2 diabetes by 2050. Currently, 26 million Americans are living with type 2 diabetes, and more and more people under the age of 20 are developing this disease, which was once unheard of in the world of pediatric medicine. Of these 26 million, about 7 million don’t even know they have type 2 diabetes.
What is truly tragic about these statistics besides their staggering numbers is that metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes are conditions that are preventable with the right diet, exercise and supplementation. If left untreated, metabolic syndrome/prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological damage, accelerated aging, increased weight gain, blindness and other degenerative conditions. Many people are not familiar with metabolic syndrome as a health issue, and live with it unknowingly — until more serious complications arise as a result.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a set of conditions that also mark the development of type 2 diabetes, giving it the name of “prediabetes.”
The symptoms for metabolic syndrome include:
■Excessive fat around the abdomen, resulting in a larger waist circumference (40 inches or greater for men, and 35 inches or greater for women).
■Low HDL or “good” cholesterol, and high LDL or “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats).
■Inflammation, marked by elevated C-reactive protein in the blood.
■A tendency toward excessive blood clotting, marked by high fibrinogen, a sticky fibrous coagulant in the blood.
■High blood pressure.
■Insulin resistance, which means that your body isn’t using insulin or blood sugar properly.
The most dominant factors in metabolic syndrome are being overweight enough to be considered obese and being insulin resistant, marked by elevated fasting blood glucose levels.
Natural Solutions: Diet And Exercise
Many lifestyle factors can contribute to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome/prediabetes and eventually full-blown type 2 diabetes. The most important contributors are poor diet, lack of exercise and chronic stress. Changing to healthier lifestyle choices in these three areas represent some of your best options for preventing and reversing metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Unfortunately, eating foods that contain high amounts of sugar and fat causes insulin levels to spike. When we continue to eat these types of foods again and again, our cells become overloaded with glucose and less sensitive to insulin. Insulin secreted by the pancreas is the key to transporting glucose from the blood into our cells where it’s needed. When cells stop responding to insulin, blood glucose levels rise. Over time, this increase in circulating blood glucose causes numerous inflammatory and degenerative conditions. To prevent insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels, your diet should focus on foods that are low on the glycemic index (foods that don’t cause rapid rises in blood sugar). By emphasizing low glycemic foods that are high in fiber and protein, and by limiting simple carbohydrates and sugars, you can be sure that your glucose and insulin levels will not spike and lead to insulin resistance, the hallmark of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Regular Exercise
Regular exercise is an important component in the prevention of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, and keeping your body active has numerous well-documented health benefits. Primarily, it increases insulin sensitivity, making cells and tissues more receptive to taking in circulating blood glucose and rapidly absorbing it for energy production.
You also need to control stress. Otherwise, chronic stress combined with blood sugar imbalances leads to the significant release of excess stress hormones, such as cortisol, which cause cells and tissues to release extra glucose into the bloodstream.
Balance Blood Glucose and Control Cravings
In addition to a low-glycemic diet, regular exercise and stress relief, specific botanicals and nutrients can help control and reverse metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
In my practice, I often recommend combinations of traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western botanicals and nutrients scientifically proven to balance blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, boost metabolism, reduce inflammation and curb sugar cravings. Particularly beneficial botanicals, formulas and nutrients for metabolic syndrome include:
■Gymnema leaf
■Astragalus root
■Cinnamon bark
■Fenugreek seed
■Holy Basil leaf
■Jambolan seed
■Bitter melon
■Panax Ginseng
■Sodium Alginate
■Medicinal mushrooms (Grifola, Tremella and Cordyceps species)
■Alpha Lipoic Acid
■Chromium
■L-Taurine
■Padma Basic Circulation Formula
These natural substances have been researched and proven to benefit metabolic health in a number of ways:
■Positively influence the way your body metabolizes fat and glucose.
■Support healthy insulin levels.
■Increase circulation.
■Support cardiovascular health.
■Support healthy inflammation responses.
■Reduce sugar cravings.
Cease Struggling
If you are struggling with weight gain, sugar cravings or more serious metabolic issues, such as insulin resistance or full-blown type 2 diabetes, these and other natural options can help protect against and even reverse such health concerns. Drug-free natural solutions — together with exercise, healthy stress relief and a balanced, low-glycemic diet — offer effective support for metabolism and blood sugar balance. Share this information with anyone you know who may be having difficulties with these all-too-common health problems, and remember that these conditions can be reversed naturally over time, with dedication and a bit of discipline. Your reward for getting them under control: Increased energy and vitality, and a greater sense of well-being.

Fat accumulated in adipose tissue is very stubborn to reduce. It is a very difficult task to force this unwanted fat out of the body. Stored fat is mobilized by the action of the enzyme lipase. However, this adipose lipase is a special type of enzyme different from the pancreatic lipase in the intestines. It is known as hormone-sensitive lipase. Hormone-sensitive lipase specifically regulates stored fat in adipose tissue. For many years researchers have been searching for natural substances that could specifically activate hormone-sensitive adipose lipase. Research has demonstrated that Rhidiola rosea stimulates the biosynthesis of the hormones epinephrine, norephinephrine and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Epinephrine, norephinephrine and the hormone adrenocorticotropic activate adenilate cyclase (cAMP) in adipose cells. The increased levels of cAMP, in turn, activate hormone-sensitive lipase which plays a key role in breaking down the fat stored in adipose tissue. These released fatty acids are then forced to circulate in the blood. It is important to use these fatty acids that have been released from fat tissue by exercising, such as walking, jogging or yoga, etc.
Rhosavin100™ will activate fatty acid release from fat tissue under normal day to day activities. However, the effect of Rhodiola rosea on fatty acid enhancement is much stronger during exercise.
Effective weight loss dosage is 1 capsule of Rhosavin100™, 3 times a day. Higher doses or higher bioactive ingredients have been shown to cause a feeling of fatigue.

Q: What is the correct dosage of Rhosavin100™
A: Rhosavin100™ is the trademarked name for Medicine-Plants' Rhodiola rosea. Each vegetable capsule contains 100mg. of rhodiola rosea, standardized to 3.4% bioactive ingredients, rosavin, rosarin, salidroside, and rosin. Many companies offer rhodiola rosea in higher dose capsules, however the studies begun in 1965 found that small and medium doses had a stimulating effect, while larger doses were found to have more sedative effects. Small doses, such as 100mg. increase the bioelectrical activity of the brain. Medicine Plants suggests that the best beneficial results come from taking between 1-3 capsules of Rhosavin100™ a day, in divided doses.

**당뇨병자 추천식단....운동
◇피해야 하는 메뉴
▶초밥 = 먹어야 할 경우 미리 먹을 개수를 정해놓도록... 밥을 약간 덜어내고 먹는 것도 좋은 방법.
▶비빔밥 = 먹어야 한다면 우선 밥은 반 정도 덜어내고, 고추장 대신 양념 된 간장이나 된장을 넣는 것이 좋다.
▶샤부샤부 문제는 샤부샤부를 먹고 난 후 자연스럽게 나오는 칼국수와 죽... 칼국수와 죽 대신 차라리 고기나 해산물을 추가해 먹는 것이 낫다. 포만감이 높은 배추나 식이섬유 함량이 높은 버섯도 괜찮다.
▶칼국수·잔치국수 = 부득이하게 국수를 먹어야 할 때는 국수와 고기 요리를 하나씩 시켜 나눠 먹을 경우, 당질 섭취는 반으로 줄고 부족한 단백질을 섭취할 수 있다.
▶중식(中食) = 짜장면, 짬뽕과 같은 중식은 반드시 피해야 하는 메뉴다.
◇추천하는 메뉴
▶샐러드=샐러드는 풍부한 식이섬유를 통해 포만감을 느낄 수 있어 식사량 조절에 도움이 된다. 식사 전 샐러드를 먼저 먹으면 상대적으로 밥을 덜 먹을 수 있다. 혈당을 천천히 오르게 하고, 혈중 콜레스테롤 배출에도 도움이 된다. 그러나 무심코 뿌려 먹는 드레싱은 주의해야 한다. 대개 드레싱에는 설탕이 들어가기 때문이다. 과일 드레싱이나 허니 머스터드와 같은 소스는 피하고, 프렌치 드레싱이나 오리엔탈 드레싱과 같은 오일로 만든 소스를 먹도록 한다. 샐러드 위에 뿌리는 것보다는 조금씩 찍어 먹는 방법이 양 조절에 효과적이다.
▶소고기 안심 스테이크=안심은 지방과 포화지방의 함량이 소고기의 다른 부위보다 낮아 좋은 메뉴다. 그러나 스테이크 소스에는 당이나 전분 등이 첨가될 수 있기 때문에 주의해야 한다. 스테이크를 먹는 가장 좋은 방법은 후추와 허브를 뿌려 구운 뒤 소스 없이 그대로 즐기는 것이다. 소스 없이 먹는 것이 아쉽다면 당질 함량이 거의 없는 홀그레인 머스터드나 고추냉이로 만든 소스를 먹도록 한다. 사이드 추가 시 당질이 높은 감자나 고구마보다는 채소 위주로 선택해야 한다.
▶김밥=김밥 한 줄에 들어 있는 당질은 백미밥 한 공기보다 10~20%가량 적다. 다양한 속 재료가 들어가 밥의 양이 적어지기 때문이다. 하지만 김밥을 먹을 때도 양을 조절해 딱 한 줄만 먹어야 한다. 그 이상 먹으면 당질을 과잉 섭취할 수 있다. 여러 종류의 김밥 중 채소 함량이 높은 채소김밥과 단백질을 함께 섭취할 수 있는 참치김밥이 권장된다.
▶회=회는 단백질을 공급하고, 다른 생선 요리와 달리 당질과 나트륨이 많이 들어가는 양념을 사용하지 않아 당뇨병 환자에게 적절한 외식 메뉴다. 하지만 초고추장을 찍어 먹는 것은 안 된다. 고추장과 마찬가지로 혈당 관리에 위험하다. 대신 고추냉이를 푼 간장을 살짝 찍어먹도록 한다. 간장에 들어 있는 당질은 초고추장의 약 3분의1 정도다.
▶감자탕=감자탕을 먹을 때는 감자 섭취에 주의해야 한다. 감자는 다른 채소에 비해 당질이 많고 당지수(GI)가 높아 몇 조각만 먹어도 생각보다 많은 당질을 섭취할 수 있다. 감자탕을 먹은 뒤 남은 국물에 볶아 먹는 밥도 되도록 피하는 것이 좋다. 볶음밥 1인분에는 각설탕 24개에 해당하는 당질이 들어있고, 소스가 추가된다면 당질이 늘어나 혈당이 더 상승할 수 있다.
▶오븐구이 통닭=프라이드치킨은 대표적인 고열량 음식으로 당질의 양도 많아 당뇨병 환자가 피해야 하는 음식이다. 치킨이 먹고 싶을 때는 오븐구이 통닭이 대안이 될 수 있다. 오븐구이 통닭은 튀김옷을 입히지 않기 때문에 당질 함량과 열량이 프라이드치킨보다 낮다. 단, 이때도 통닭을 찍어 먹는 소스에는 상당량의 당질이 포함돼있기 때문에 되도록 삼가는 게 좋다.
===당뇨병자는 백도복숭아·수박·바나나 같이 부드럽고 물렁한 과일보다는 사과·배·천도복숭아·참외처럼 단단한 과일을 제한적으로 먹는 것이 좋다...단단하고 딱딱한 과육을 가진 과일은 섬유질을 이루는 세포 조직이 질기고 촘촘하게 이뤄져 있어서 인체 내 소화 흡수가 천천히 되기 때문에 혈당 지수가 급격히 올라가는 것을 막는 효과가 있다. 반면 부드럽고 물렁한 과일들은 섬유질이 연하게 조직돼 있어 인체에서 소화 흡수되는 속도가 빨라 혈당수치를 쉽게 높인다....같은 이유로 당뇨병 환자는 과일을 주스로 먹거나, 즙을 내서 먹는 것도 안 좋다. 과일의 섬유질을 잘게 갈면 그 안에 당 성분이 쉽게 빠져나와서, 섭취했을 때 혈당을 더욱 빠르게 높인다....어떤 과일이든 성인의 주먹 반 주먹 정도만 제한해서 먹어야 한다.
