REVERSE TYPE 2 DIABETES AND TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE

Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic that can be reversed. Firstly let us look at what
causes it. For a vast majority, it is caused by lifestyle factors. This means the food
we eat, the supplements we take, our activity level, our weight and high stress
levels.
The type of diet we practice has much to do with this epidemic, if not everything to
do with it, for example, the bad oils we use, high levels of carbohydrates,
sweeteners and so on.
The basic underlying disorder is known to be the derangement of the blood sugar
control system by badly engineered fats and oils. These oils are poisonous and are
advertised as healthy so as to create a market for these products. The bad oils are
oils that are unsaturated and are hydrogenated with the ability to increase shelf
life. Some of these oils are from soy, cottonseed and grape-seed. The oils that are
healthy are the saturated and natural oils like coconut oil, olive oil and so on to put
it simply, hydrogenated processed oils are bad oils and are deleterious to good
health.
High carb foods or high carbohydrate foods, wheat, rice and so on have a high
glycemic index which causes the blood glucose to raise and stay elevated for a
long time. The Glycemic Index (G .1) is a numerical system of measuring how fast
a carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar. The higher the number,
the greater the blood sugar response, so a low G.I. food will cause a small rise
while a high G.I. food will trigger a dramatic spike in blood glucose levels.
