Avoid Acne by Avoiding These Foods

Amazingly enough, a few of the so-called experts will say that foods are not relative to acne breakouts. Nothing could be further from the truth about this myth.

It's very important to understand, acne works it's way to the skin surface from the inside, out. Acne is generally caused by an over production of sebum. This is the oily sweat that is mixed with bacteria, the body is trying to eliminate. When the sebum is mixed in with dead skin cells, then this clogs some of the skin's pores. This clogged build-up, will then become infected in some of the pores. The pimples are a reaction to the infected pores. This is acne. This is why simple washing of the acne area is not enough to cure the problem.

There is some truth in that old saying, "You are, what you eat". Quite often, one of the main culprits to the cause of acne, will originate with an improper diet. Let's face it, if you are not eating healthy; your skin can't be expected to be healthy. Added to this, if you are ingesting foods that trigger more sebum production, with more bacteria to be eliminated; then, you can expect to have more pimples to fight off.

By eating more natural foods, your body will begin to act in accordance. Our bodies are designed to breakdown the complex carbohydrates and fresh foods. When we eat fast foods, junk foods, processed foods; then our body's whole processing plant gets sluggish and out of sorts.

What we eat will directly effect the quality of our skin. By eating processed foods that are high in oils, fats, refined sugars, starches and chemical additives; this is certainly not a diet that will help reduce your acne outbreaks.

Eating a steady diet of junk foods has been shown to directly correlate to the acne condition. Most nutritional experts agree that, individuals who consume more organic foods into their diets, have less acne outbreaks.

Your skin is the largest of your body's organs. It requires the right nutrients in order to function correctly. Often times vitamin supplements can make a world of difference, in fighting acne.

Acne is not treated by one simple line of treatment. It is a combination of attacking it internally and externally. When you consider that your body is eliminating a lot of waste and toxins through your sebum, your sweat; then you have a better idea about what is added to the acne condition, when you eat the wrong foods.

When fresh vegetables and fruits are not an option, take a look at some of the canned, or frozen food varieties. Everything you need to know, is in the fine print on the package labeling. Many of the bottled fruit juices in the market, contain a vast assortment of chemicals and sweeteners. Corn syrup as a sweetener, will feed your acne breakouts.

If this requires a big lifestyle change, then consider what you might have to lose. Of course you can still eat your favorite foods and snacks. If your favorite foods are junk foods, this only means you will not be eating those "Twinkies" as often as you used too. Maintaining a healthier diet will make a large impact on your acne, reducing the outbreaks considerably.

Diabetes Cure

This article is about a diabetes cure. Though I focus on permanent and natural weight loss many clients come to me because they have diabetes and the doctor told them they need to lose weight.

Also, many more are coming to me because they found out their children have diabetes and the doctor told them to lose weight.

The current medical establishment regards diabetes as incurable. They say there is no diabetes cure. This is correct only if people keep eating the foods they are and are continually exposed to toxic elements that contribute to diabetes.

Without enough knowledge as to what causes diabetes, it can seem there is no diabetes cure.

Coping Rather Than Curing

Currently, the medical establishment advise to use some form of the glycemic index to keep blood sugar low and to get more exercise. The problem I have with this is that it is a coping mechanism. It is not addressing the root of diabetes.

That means it is not addressing why insulin is being stopped from going into the cells in a diabetes type 2 condition or why insulin is not being produced by the pancreas in a Diabetes type 1 condition.

A diabetes cure has to consider the root causes of these two situations. It has to be able to answer why it is occurring in the first place.

While most doctors look at diabetes as a condition, I look at it as a symptom of an underlying health imbalance. To create a diabetes cure you need to stop only focusing on treating symptoms and focusing on.

Insulin Resistance

For Type 2 diabetes the question that needs to be answered is, "Why are the cells not allowing insulin into the cells?"

Your cells have insulin receptors. When insulin reaches these receptors they cause the cells to allow insulin into the cells. Insulin is combined with glucose and it is insulin that drives the glucose into the cells to provide fuel.

Insulin not only combines with glucose, it combines with protein to bring protein into the cells as well. When the cells are not receptive to insulin, glucose does not go inside and your cells do not get energy.

This leaves a high amount of sugar in your blood. This high level of glucose is called hyperglycemia. This state of hyperglycemia, if it becomes chronic can produce a very wide variety of serious complications over a period of years, including kidney damage, neurological damage, cardiovascular damage, damage to the retina etc.

Needless to say, a diabetes cure will help many people with many other conditions as well.

So the current treatment of this is to lower the blood sugar levels in the blood through diet and drugs.

What should be solved is how to get the insulin to be used again. In other words, the goal is to restore insulin sensitivity again. When the cells allow insulin into the cells, blood glucose will go into the cells and the blood glucose levels will drop down to normal. This is the way it is supposed to work normally.

A diabetes cure should be there to help make things work normally again.

Type 1 Diabetes

With diabetes type 1, the problem is not that the cells are not receptive to insulin. The problem is that the pancreas, the gland that produces insulin is either not producing insulin or not producing enough insulin.

So in this case, the blood glucose levels are high because there is not enough insulin there to tell the cells to open up and take the glucose in.

This is hyperglycemia caused by lack of insulin production where as diabetes type 2 causes hyperglycemia due to the normal levels of insulin not being able to be used.

Developing A Cure

In my diabetes cure, I resolve this by removing all or as many causes of insulin resistance (diabetes type 2) and all the causes of the lowered or non-existent insulin levels (diabetes type 1).

There are many substances that cause insulin resistance inside foods that many are not aware of. This includes the medical establishment. Without knowing this a diabetes cure cannot be created.

High fructose corn syrup and monosodium glutamate are two of several examples.

These two substances are often not listed by their name but are in many foods that are sold and eaten. Also, they are both in foods that we would not think they would be in. Gatorade, for example, is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is what has replaced sugar in almost all processed products.

Monosodium glutamate is also in many packaged foods but under different names such as: Gelatin, Calcium Caseinate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP), Textured Protein, Monopotassium glutamate, Hydrolyzed Plant Protein (HPP), Yeast Extract Glutamate, Autolyzed Plant Protein, Yeast food or nutrient, Glutamic Acid Sodium, Caseinate Autolyzed Yeast, Vegetable Protein Extract, Senomyx (wheat extract labeled as artificial flavor).

There is also a substance called Alloxan. This is a chemical byproduct that is created when flour is bleached. Alloxan is also a chemical used in laboratories to inject into mice to MAKE THEM DIABETIC. Alloxan causes insulin resistance and enough of it causes diabetes. This is how diabetes is studied - alloxan is injected into mice, they become diabetic and then they are studied.

In the supermarkets and many common foods available, you can guarantee that all white colored flour in foods is chemically bleached flour that also contains alloxan. This is white bread, doughnuts, bagels, starchy pastries, and the many different varieties of snacks out there.

These are just an example of the hidden substances in society that contribute to diabetes. Taking these out of the diet and the environment will be part of a diabetes cure.

Correct Exercise

There is also the factor of exercise. Doctors will tell people to exercise. But, that's all they say. You often are not sure what kind of exercise to do.

What I found is there are types and kinds of exercise that can exacerbate the diabetic condition. I developed simple indexes and indicators to show whether an exercise is helpful for reversing the diabetic condition or making it worse.

A diabetic cure has to show you how to sift through the vast array of exercises to find what is going to assist a diabetic cure.

A Cure Is Available

Long story short, there is much more to diabetes than what is popularly discussed and known. As one of the main KILLERS of Americans, I am dedicating more and more of my time, coaching and writing for a diabetes cure.

A diabetes cure is something that reverses or alleviates the problems with insulin and not to cope with it.

There IS a way to reverse or dramatically alleviate diabetes.

My name is Yegyan and I am a Certified Nutritional Consultant (CNC) and a Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP). I help people reverse several health conditions but primarily focus on healthy, natural weight loss that is permanent.

Even though my method is directed at weight loss, it also relieves many other conditions such as diabetes.

Easy Way to Keep Your Blood Sugar in Control

It is must for the diabetes to be cautious of what they are eating. The reason is, the food is directly proportional to blood sugar level for sure. The more you eat, and then surely, you will gain more the blood sugar level in your body. Indeed, this is the well known fact for all diabetes. It doesn’t mean that you have to be empty stomach every time.

Recently, some research has been conducted with some numbers of people. Some of them are allowable to eat frequently for every 3 to 5 hours and the rest of the others were stick to limits in food. Finally, surprisingly, the result was come in favor of frequent eaters. In present world, the people are suffering equally with both increase and decrease of blood sugar levels. In this case, the food habit should be follow too differently for both low blood sugar and high blood sugar affected people.

It is must for the people who are affecting by low blood sugar levels to eat six to eight small meals rather than going for three large ones. The more you eat pumpkin or sunflower seeds, raw nuts and seeds will be beneficial for your health. Apart from it, the fresh juices and milk are also having the right ability to keep your blood sugar level in control. If you are sticking with these foods, then it will increase metabolism of your body and keep you active throughout the day. These foods are unique in particularly for losing weight.

When it comes to high blood sugar level people, the foods are different. They have to eat more and more food which is rich in proteins. And also, they have to eat fiber based meals daily. It is not a difficult job for you to find protein based foods. The fish that we eat are highly rich in proteins. So we have to include fish in our meals at least three to four times per week.

The vegetables, whole fruits and beans are seems to be having high content of fibers. From my side, I strongly recommend you to stop the habits of alcoholic drinks, even coffee and soft drinks too. For a low blood sugar level people, you have to limit salty foods for sure. The more salts store in your body will damage or reduce the available blood potassium level. In turn, it will automatically disturb the blood sugar level effectively.

Having some cautious in foods alone will not help you to reach successive results. The proper foods will help you for certain extent only, then the remaining can be decide by the way you keep your body relax and rest. You have to consume equal amounts of food daily. Why because, if you are following the same food every day, then it seems that you are adding same amount of carbohydrates and calories to your body.

Furthermore, the person has to consult with nearby professional nutritionist in order to verify for what to do and what not to do in the diets.

Spacer for free articles display Natural Cures For Diabetes - How To Cure Diabetes Naturally

A good diet is the key to good health. While in some cases diabetes is caused due to genetic factors or other triggers, more often than not it is diets rich in sugar that lead to blood sugar problems later in life. Every diet has the scope to be tweaked a little bit so that you can ward off the danger of diabetes. If you are overweight, have high blood pressure, low HDL, and eat a lot of processed foods, you fall in the high-risk category.

Everyone ought to slowly wean themselves off highly processed junk food and shift to leaner, more natural alternatives. You can also use the three natural cures for diabetes tips which are listed below:

Diabetes and magnesium

In a study done in England on 11,000 women in the high-risk category, it was shown that those with a high magnesium intake were 27 per cent less susceptible to diabetes. According to research, magnesium is known to lower blood pressure, relax the heart muscles, and controls homocysteine, which is a known trigger for heart disease and diabetes. Magnesium also catalyzes the enzyme system in the body to convert nutrients into energy. Magnesium also relaxes the muscles and reduces muscle spasms.

Dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, avocados and whole grain are excellent sources of magnesium.

Diabetes and Cinnamon

Research has shown that using cinnamon in your diet on a regular basis helps reduce blood glucose levels by 18-29%. In addition, it also reduces other diabetes risk factors like triglyceride (which shows a 30% decline) and LDL cholesterol (a 25% decrease).

Cinnamon contains an extract called Cinnulin PF. This extract works at the cellular level and increases the sensitivity of insulin cell receptors by three times. Poor response of insulin cell receptors is often a major problem in diabetics, which makes cinnamon an important diabetes inhibitor. TI is advisable to consume about 500mg of cinnamon extract, twice a day.

Glucotor 2-a Diabetics' Formulation

Glucotor 2 is a completely natural formula prepared with the specific needs of diabetics in mind. It contains prickly pear cactus, fenugreek, cinnulin PF, bitter melon and gymnema sylvestre, all of which are very beneficial in diabetes control. Glucotor 2 which follows its very successful predecessor Glucotol 1, has been rendered even more powerful by the addition of cinnulin PF cinnamon extracts. Glucotol 1 has a very illustrious history in battling high blood sugar, with a number of true life testimonies to its credit. Glucotor 2 only improves on it, as it adds Cinnulin PF and magnesium, both of which are effective in controlling diabetes. Both these components have been proved efficacious not just for blood sugar control, but also in preventing heart disease.

So, while you may have actually tweaked your eating habits to avoid fatty, high processed foods, you should surely also add a daily dose of Glucotor 2 to your diet plan to ensure even better protection against diabetes and cardiovascular problems. And ou need not fear any harmful side effects from Glucotor 2-it is a tried and tested natural remedy that is uses no artificial chemicals in its preparation.
