What are the warning Signs of Diabetes?

The classical symptoms of diabetes are polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive passage of urine), and polyphagia (excessive hunger).

What causes Diabetes?

Studies conducted by James Anderson, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University Of Kentucky concluded that a strong relationship to fat—both fat in the diet and fat on the body causes diabetes. The disease is rare in areas of the world where fat intake is low and obesity uncommon. - p. 53, Health Power

DIABETES CAN BE REVERSED !

• Every hour of exercise is equivalent to 5 units of insulin. Walking for an hour twice a day will double the amount of insulin in the body. It is very important to walk casually 15 to 30 minutes after each meal. PLEASE NOTE: Before starting an exercise regimen, please consult your physician.
  
  
• Within 7 hours after walking, new insulin receptors show up on the cell and as a result they absorb more glucose from the blood which results in a lower blood sugar level.
  
  
• If at night your blood sugar level drops below 80, eat a piece of fruit; otherwise, two meals -- breakfast and lunch -- per day are more desirable than three.
  
  
• It is important to eat whole grain cereals. For breakfast, stir 2 tablespoons freshly grounded flax seed in your cereal. Also, you may sprinkle 2 tablespoon of flax seed over your salad at lunchtime.
  
  
• Food should be eaten in as natural a state as possible.
  

• ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE THE LARGEST SOURCE OF FAT IN THE DIET AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED!
  
  
• All meals should be eaten on a regular schedule, 7 days a week, with no more than a 30 minutes time difference in schedule. Meals should be eaten 5-6 hours apart.
  

Lifestyle

• Exercise is very essential to good health. One should walk 21 miles per week, which is approximately 3 miles per day seven days per week or for 1 hour each day.
  
  
• One should get between 15- 20 minutes of sunshine daily before 9:00am or after 3:00pm.
  
  
• One should go to bed before 10:00pm. The body heals itself between the hours of 10:00pm and 12:00am. The body also produces melatonin between the hours of 10:00 pm and 2:00 am, which gives the body restful sleep at night. Thus, for every hour of sleep before midnight, the body doubles the amount of rest received.
