If there's just one thing you can do to better your health, it's getting your blood sugar in check.
High blood sugar levels contribute to insulin resistance. And like a thief in the night, insulin resistance silently robs you of your health by contributing to chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
When you are resistant to insulin, your muscle, fat, and liver cells cannot use this important sugar-shuttler properly. The pancreas tries to keep up with the demand for insulin by producing more. Eventually, the pancreas cannot keep up with the body's need for insulin, and excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream.
Insulin resistance is a stepping stone to diabetes, as well as other chronic diseases. But the good news is that you can do something about it. You can help your cells become more sensitive to insulin with exercise and enjoy a low glycemic diet to balance your blood sugar and help you to achieve a healthy weight.
Why Does the American Diabetes Association
Recommend Toxic Artificial Sweeteners?
The American Diabetes Association actively promotes and recommends the artificial sweetener sucralose.
Interesting… because several studies have shown that diabetic subjects who consume sucralose exhibit significant increases in A1C – a marker which indicates a loss of blood sugar control.
Don’t listen to corporate and pharmaceutical shills, like the ADA, and learn about the natural, safe, low-glycemic sweeteners you can use in Your Guide to Living a Low Glycemic Lifestyle.
