Living It With Lisa

I woke up this morning to find this Natural News article in my mail box.   The opening paragraph got my attention:

“The CDC has estimated that by 2050, as much of thirty percent of the American population could suffer with diabetes.  New studies show that diabetics, in addition to coping with the effects of their disease, also have nearly double the risk of cancer compared to the rest of the population.’

Now I didn’t need any coffee to wake me up after reading that!   THIRTY percent!   Higher risk of CANCER! If you have Type 2 Diabetes now one would think, one would be doing everything to reduce the risk of the OTHER HEALTH issues potentially coming your way in addition to a higher risk of cancer too .

In this article they listed Maple Syrup, Tumeric, Fenugreek, Fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Chocolate, Coffee, Red Wine, Blueberries, Cranberries, Strawberries, Cherries, Beans, Coconut Oil, Almonds, Walnuts, Buckwheat, Cinnamon, Green Tea, Black Tea, and Wakame.

Most of those items are easily found and can be incorporated in your diet quickly.

Great health starts one bite at a time.

Blueberries are considered a superfood and featured on Healthcastle this month. Good for EVERYONE in their diet. Including Diabetics and those looking for low glycemic foods.  Read on…. Highlighting this month’s food of the month was pretty easy work. Blueberries, our choice for August, are truly nutritional superstars.  They are also tasty and easily found in markets and stores across North America, with multiple varieties to choose from.  The fruit can range in size from tiny pea-sized balls to those as big as marbles and can be any color from blue to maroon to dark purple.  Blueberries can be tart and a little crunchy when unripe; as the berries ripen the flesh softens and the fruit sweetens.
