How
To Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
by
Dr. Robert Osgoodby
A
healthy diet and regular exercise program not only will improve your appearance,
but it also can improve your health and decrease your risk of developing
certain diseases. Recent studies by Harvard researchers have concluded
that moderate exercise and a healthy diet can prevent most cases of type
2 diabetes - the most common form of diabetes. The study overwhelmingly
indicated that by making the appropriate lifestyle changes, diabetes can
be prevented over 90% of the time. The study also concluded that
lifestyle changes significantly reduced the risk of getting the disease
by 58% among people who already showed signs of developing diabetes.
Type
2 diabetes accounts for over 90% of all diabetes cases. It occurs
when your body can not properly utilize insulin in getting nutrients to
your cells. This results in high levels of sugar in your blood.
The number of cases of diabetes has been growing rapidly. Studies
indicate that over 16 million Americans have some form of diabetes!
Type 2 diabetes used to be considered a disease of the old, but not anymore.
It is becoming much more prevalent in younger people and has recently been
showing an alarming increase among young people.
Diabetes
is a disease where your underlying genetic background is critical.
If you have these genes and are at risk of developing diabetes, your lifestyle
decisions very well may determine whether these genes become active or
remain dormant.
What
is most interesting is that Harvard researchers determined that 91% of
cases among the people they studied could have been prevented by watching
their weight, eating a healthy diet, moderate exercise, and not drinking
and smoking. Being overweight is the number one reason people contract
diabetes - 61% of all cases are attributed to obesity and weight problems.
Some
other interesting facts: Overweight women cut their risk by 24% simply
by walking regularly. There is a direct correlation between the amount
of exercise and instances of diabetes. The more exercise, the less
instances. Those who did 7 or more hours a week of exercise had a
29% lower risk than those who did not exercise or exercised less than 30
minutes per week. Eating a diet that is high in fiber, low in fat
and low in partially hydrogenated oils (french fries, commercial baked
goods) also significantly decreases your risk. If you already do
not do so, become a label reader!
Pepper
may not just be for seasoning. Capsaicin is a protein compound found
in pepper and peppers significantly lowers blood sugar levels and increases
insulin levels. Researchers have not concluded if the pepper compound
acts by increasing the release of insulin, or by slowing it's breakdown.
Large doses of aspirin also lower your blood sugar and is an effective
treatment of diabetes, but researchers warn that that the large doses required
have detrimental side effects (intestinal bleeding, dizziness, nausea)
that outweigh the benefits.
There
are many diseases and illnesses you have no control over, but type 2 diabetes
is highly preventable by watching your weight, exercising, eating a healthy
diet, and not smoking or drinking.

A
young doctor had just opened office and felt really
excited.
His secretary told him a man was here to see him.
The
young doctor told her to send him in.
Pretending
to be a busy doctor, he picked up the phone just
as
the man came in. "Yes, that's right. The fee is $200. Yes,
I'll
expect you ten past two. Alright. No later. I'm a very
busy
man."
He
hung up and turned to the man waiting. "May I help you?"
"No,"
said the man, "I just came in to install the phone."

Dear
Dr. Osgoodby:
I
read a lot about health, diet, exercise and fitness. Over the last
several months, I have seen Lycopine mentioned several times when the author
has been talking about healthy foods. What is it? What benefits
does it offer and in what foods can it be found?
Toni
Chechela
Dear
Toni:
Thanks
for the email and question. Lycopine is an anti-oxidant found in
tomatoes. It is actually what makes the tomatoes red. The more
Lycopene, the redder the tomato. Lycopene is one of the strongest
anti-oxidants available, even stronger than beta-carotene. Processed
tomatoes (sauce, ketchup, tomato juice) or cooked tomatoes actually have
up to 8 times more lycopine than raw tomatoes. Lycopine is also fat
soluble which means you will absorb more lycopine if you eat it with a
fat. (cheese, butter, dairy, etc. .)
Lycopine
and all anti-oxidants provide your body with several benefits. It
helps prevent some cancers including breast, lung, bladder, skin, digestive
tract, prostate and cervix cancer. It also helps prevent certain
forms of heart disease including coronary heart disease.
Thanks
again!
Warmly,
Dr.
Robert Osgoodby

********How do I Get There From Here?********

Sugar
or Sugar Substitutes
This
month's health tip is in response to a subscriber's
questions
about sugar substitutes. But before I begin,
I'd
like to thank Cindy for bringing up this issue and her
honest
concern for good health. She wrote and asked me
if
there were any benefits to using regular sugar over any
possible
side effects to using sugar substitutes.
I
was trying to think back to a time when I did use and enjoy
sugar.
One fond memory I have is of my Grandmother
melting
brown sugar in butter and then pouring it over a
plain
cake. But the buzz word here is "brown sugar." She
used
a natural, unbleached sugar. If you enjoy the taste of
sugar,
try to find something like this, that's natural and then
only
use a small amount.
Sugar
substitutes are just what the name implies, substitutes,
something
artificial or chemically produced. One such example
that
is used extensively is aspartame. It has several very real,
and
very risky side effects. It can cause seizures in people with
phenylketonuria,
a metabolic disorder that makes it difficult to break
down
phenylalanine, an amino acid found in aspartame. And
there
have been reports of aspartame's connection to headaches,
and
in severe cases it has caused other allergy like symptoms.
Here
are my suggestions for those of you who enjoy the sweet taste
of
sugar. Eat lots of fruit. Most of them are naturally sweetened
with
fructose. And unless you are specifically allergic to certain
fruits,
these "sugars" won't cause you any problems. Try using
honey
instead of sugar. If you really insist on using sugar, use less
of
it. Try to find natural sugars, ones that aren't refined or bleached.
Join
me next month and we'll talk about ways to get a good night's
sleep.
These health tips can only be found in Dr.
Osgoodby's
Body Transformations Newsletter.
Live
in Passion and Good Health,
James
Groves

==================================
In
the world of scientific research, several different types of experiments
can
be done to test a therapy's effectiveness at preventing or curing
disease.
One type of study--the meta-analysis--looks at many studies on the same
subject, analyzing the data collectively. This approach allows us to see
the trend of the research that's been done so far, and to get moving on
studies that promise to fill in gaps in our knowledge.
At
the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, nutrition researchers set
out to create a meta-analysis of studies on garlic and cancer. They found
22 well-executed studies on human subjects from countries as diverse as
Argentina,
the Netherlands, China, and Switzerland, and the data showed that a diet
rich in garlic cuts stomach cancer risk in half and colon cancer risk by
one-third. Garlic kills the bacterium H. pylori, which has been implicated
in stomach ulcers and stomach cancer. Both cooked and raw garlic were found
to be protective.
