7 Natural Remedies for Crushing Diabetes

We all know those commercials from those wonderful people that talk about diabetes. The problem with the world that we live in is that when it comes to problems like diabetes, doctors would rather put a band-aid on it and keep you on expensive synthetic drugs that are horrible for your body and keep you dependent on those drugs for the rest of your life. I was diagnosed with being pre-diabetic and I improved my numbers for blood sugar and helping my body digest sugars and lessen insulin resistance. Today we are going to discus what we can do to improve our blood sugar numbers and get out of diabetic range naturally instead of the synthetic garbage that doctors like to push on us. Here are 7 natural remedies for crushing diabetes!

1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon was the best thing that I could have done for my per-diabetic state and I found a tea that was absolutely delightful. Cinnamon helps lower blood sugar naturally and it just tastes wonderful. 

2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful supplement that is a natural superfood that is widely recognized as being a miracle supplement that helps lower blood sugar. I generally added about a cup of water with some Splenda to make it a bit more bearable to drink. You want the good Braggs vinegar that as the mother with it. The mother is the good stuff that helps your gut bacteria.

3. Carnivore Diet
I have grown to love this diet, and it is my favorite diet as it is low carbs to no carbs and is very low impact on the glycemic index. Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson helped me with this diet as some people have such great food aversions that they can't eat anything, but meat. Look at history and the cave men that used to hunt for a living for their food. They ate meat for the grand majority of the time and they were muscular and were fit. 

4. Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is one of those supplements that was a miracle that helped my blood sugar drop really quickly. It has helped countless people to lower their blood sugar and make it out of the diabetic range. This is a must for diabetic patients.

5. Drink Water
Drinking water helps your body work more efficiently. When your body is more efficient, it helps lower blood sugar because your body doesn't have to work so hard to burn sugar.

6. Walking 
I went on a thirty minute walk, once a day, for three times per week to help my body burn off every form of sugar in my body. If you can manage a brisk walk, then it burns more sugar out of your body. You really want to do this to help with blood sugar.

7. Get More Sleep
I used magnesium to sleep better and get more and better quality of sleep. By getting sleep, you lower your cortisol levels and your blood sugar will come down when this happens. Take a rest and make sure you're sleeping at least seven hours per day.

Do You Have Diabetes?

Did you know that anyone can have diabetes? You could have diabetes right now and not even know it. Today, I would like to teach you about how to know if you have diabetes. How do you know if you have diabetes or not? Did you know that you can be skinny and have diabetes? You can! We will go through some tell tale signs of diabetes and know when to go to your doctor to receive suggestions for how to cure diabetes.


1. Increase in Hunger
Diabetes is a disease that causes your body to work extra hard to fuel your body. Your blood sugar or the glucose in your blood runs too low to fuel your body. Your body will find that it is hungry a lot of the time, but the biggest aspect to this is if you are hungry after eating.


2. Fatigue
Increased fatigue and weakness is another big sign that you might have diabetes. If you reach the end of your energy earlier on in your day than you used to, you may be sleep deprived, but if you're not, then you may have diabetes because your body is running low on blood sugar and energy.


3. Rapid Weight Loss
This is a sure sign that you have diabetes or the possibility of diabetes, especially when you are eating like a cow and you are still losing weight. This should be the most apparent one and will be the one that is most visible. Your body is trying to produce energy from somewhere because it can not get energy from glucose in your blood stream. This is not the good kind of weight loss.


4. Increase in Thirst
Typically when you have diabetes, you will find that you will want to drink more and more. This is due to several factors. These include, eating more, your body not running as efficiently (the body is 75% water after all), and the body needing water to produce glucose.


What should I do if I have these symptoms?
You're sitting here and you're probably thinking, "well shoot, I may have diabetes!" I want all of us to stop and take a deep breath, breathe in, and breathe out. The first thing that you can do is make an appointment with your doctor to discuss the possibilities of you maybe having diabetes. The second thing would be to take a look at a diet plan. (We have one here that is FREE!) If you are dead set on destroying diabetes, I have heard of a plan that will help you destroy it. (Click here for even MORE FREE help!)

I do hope that you feel a bit more educated on diabetes and the possibilities of you having it or not! I hope that you guys and gals take care of yourselves to create the best and longest life filled with good aspects and qualities that you can have. Diabetes is one of the silent killers. Don't let it get you!

Diet Soda, is it Really Worse than Regular?

I was sitting here looking at a can of Diet Dr. Pepper that one of my family members had bought. There has been a long debate and it still rages on as to which is worse, diet or regular? I would like to keep the debate going and really give you guys a post to read, and then I would like for you to decide which is worse. You be astounded on which is worse. You may have a hard time figuring out which is worse. Let's look at the facts and see if we can decipher which is worse!

1. Diet Soda...Cancerous
It is true that diet soda is filled with chemicals that are cancerous for your body, but what would you say if I told you that sugar is the fuel by which cancer existed? You would tell me I was crazy! I speak the truth! Sugar weakens the immune system in the body and gives cancer a fuel and foothold, by which it chokes you and kills you.

2. High Fructose Corn Syrup...Killer
You may not have noticed this, but high fructose corn syrup kills many people everyday. HFCS's cause your body to crave those drinks and foods that contain them and you are forced into addiction. HFCS's kill your immune system and liver, cause your insulin to skyrocket, and sometimes contain mercury. Guess which sodas have it...BOTH diet and regular!

3. Sweeteners Trigger Fat Storage
It really doesn't matter which one you drink, both sugar and artificial sweeteners trigger your insulin in your bloodstream and cause your body to go into fat storage mode. If you couple this with the HFCS that is something that makes your body hungry, you get the ultimate fat machine, your body! Both sugar and artificial sweeteners do this.

4. Increased Risk of Diabetes
Diabetes may not sound like its all that bad, but you can ask anyone that has it and they would gladly trade soda to get rid of it. Diet soda has been linked to giving a person upwards of 30% greater risk of getting diabetes. Regular soda is right there with sugar to help you get there the same way, just in case you're interested.

5. No Nutritional Value
Have you ever noticed that soda has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever? Some sodas have natural fruit juice, but it consists of 5% of the soda or less. This is not enough to even mention. Soda is so ridden with sugar or artificial sweeteners and sodium that we find no nutritional value in it.

6. Sodium
You may not have noticed, but there is sodium or salt in your soda, whether you drink regular or diet. Sodium is something that our body needs some of, but we find it in excess amounts in our body that causes everything to be thrown off kilter. Salt is linked to high blood pressure and is known for overworking kidneys.

7. Alternatives?
There is only one alternative that I would suggest drinking that would be worth your time and your money. That alternative is water, just plain old water. You can get it from the tap or you can get it in an assortment of minerals or not in bottles. Iced tea and lemonade that is all natural is something else you can try. Both are better than soda.

Which one is better for you? Diet? Regular? Neither? I hope that I have provoked a lot of thought processes in your mind and hopefully you can appreciate the situation that we face everyday. If you can't answer which is better or if either of them have any good value, then it might behoove you to stop drinking them. Please, go to the comment box below and give your reasons that you drink diet or regular soda and tell us which one is better. Share these tips with family and friends! Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your day!

The Secret of Diet Soda!

For years you drank diet soda thinking that you were doing yourself a favor, when in fact, it is thought that diet soda is just as bad as regular soda.
We are going to go through some facts about diet soda and we will see if diet soda will remain the better of the two.
The controversy stops here!

1. Bad For Diabetics
The natural sweetener aspartame worsens the effects that diabetes has on the body.
It causes insulin control problems and therefore causes the diabetic to want to eat more and gain weight.
2. Both Diet and Regular Sodas Deprive Bone Density
Both diet and regular sodas deprive the body of it's bone density because of the acid in each of the sodas. So, no matter if you drink diet or non-diet soda, it doesn't matter.
3. Caffeine The Same
Caffeine is the same in both diet and regular soda the majority of the time.
Again, it doesn't matter whether you drink diet or not, the side effects are still the same.
4. Diet, Less Sugar Less Calories
Diet soda has less sugar and less calories overall. This is a good thing, but doesn't do much in the way of it being better for you. Sure, you do consume less calories allowing you to drink more and eat more calories, but is it worth it?
5. Diet Soda = Dehydration
Diet soda in a diuretic. Which means that the sweeteners cause the person consuming it to have to go to the restroom more frequently. That, along with the caffeine deprive your body from the water it needs.
6. Diet Causes Cell Damage
The consumer opens themselves up to having an increase in chances for disease. The sodium benzoate, a preservative, works together with vitamin c to produce a carcinogenic called benzene. Studies have shown that the sodium benzoate may damage the mitochondria found in your DNA cells causing your cells to sometimes malfunction, giving you risk for Parkinson's, cirrhosis of the liver, or neuro-degenerative diseases.

Now that we have looked at the effects of diet soda on the body, we can come to the conclusion that it, along with regular soda is bad for the body!
So, what do I drink then?
There are natural fruit juices that are tasty, or if you want that fizzy bubbly taste, you can drink sparkling water.
Steer clear from both types of soda!
You and your diet will be better for it.
