Pre Diabetes Diet: Prevent it Before it Even Starts

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

You can use a diabetes control diet for once you have already developed the disease, but did you know that you can go on a pre diabetes diet which is going to help prevent you from developing the disease in the first place? If you know that diabetes is a condition that runs in your family, then you know that you are much more likely to develop the disease as well.

Now if you want to go on a pre diabetes diet which would be a very smart move especially if there are quite a few people that you know in your family who already have diabetesthemselves, there are a few things that you are going to want to keep in mind when it comes to creating your pre diabetes diet.

What is Pre Diabetes Diet?

Pre diabetes is basically a condition that doctors consider when people have higher than normal blood sugar levels so when they are pretty much on their way to having diabetes but not yet. This is why getting on a diabetes diet plan is so important, and especially pre diabetes diet is going to be so important to you here.

One set a plan in pre diabetes diet for consumption of fat and calorie which means that he is aware of his weight and then follow this to realize how many calories a day he should consume. If you weigh between 120 and 170 pounds you need to be eating 33 grams of fat and 1,200 calories a day and if you weigh between 175 and 215 pounds you need to be consuming between 42 grams of fat and 1,500 calories per day.

Now if you weigh between 220 and 245 pounds you need to consumer between 50 grams of fat and 1,800 calories a day and for people who weigh between 250 pounds or more then you need to be consuming between 55 grams of fat and 2,000 calories per day.

Remember that there are certain foods that you are going to want to make sure that you are eating on your pre diabetes diet. Legumes for instance are a great source of protein and are important to include in your diet if you want to avoid getting diabetes. However fresh fruits are important diet though it should not be used very often as it increases level of sugar in blood.

HIGH BLOOD SUGAR IS AN INDICATION OF A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM

POPULAR UNDERSTANDING:

Diabetics do not make enough insulin or the body does not use all the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that assists the production of glucose (sugar) to be absorbed into cells and then converted to energy. The pancreas emits enzymes that aid carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Once the pancreas is non-performing then digestive enzymes are not supplied for digestion. The condition imbalances the liver, gall bladder, spleen and all digestive related organs. In unmanaged diabetes, glucose and fats remain in the blood stream, where with time, the primary body’s digestive organs become impaired and eventually diseased.

DIABETIC STATISTICS:

  • Seventeen million Americans are walking around with diabetes, and 200,000 people will die this year due to related complications. Diabetes sets up conditions for heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, leg and foot amputations, pregnancy complications, and deaths related to flu and pneumonia. At risk, are the 5.9 million Americans who are unaware that they have the condition.
  • We spend $100 Billion a year on diabetes, directly and indirectly. In 1997, the normal health care outlay for someone with diabetes was ,071, contrasted with ,699 for an individual without diabetes.
  • U.S. adults with diabetes increased 49% from 1990 to 2000. Increases are expected in the next decade and beyond.
  • Diabetes is an epidemic. In 1990, there were only 4 U.S. states determined to be at epidemic levels. In 1995, that number increased to 11. In 2000, there were only 6 states that were not at epidemic levels.

What happened to the other 44 states in 10 years? What is occuring in our country where a disease can over run us. Secretly, we are being plague by a force superior to any terrorist group. Is there anyone seeing what is truely happening? That’s more than 15 million plus people caught in the grips of this top level threat to our country. Where’s the equal level response by our government and medical establishment?

UNDERLYING CAUSATION

While insulin production and all the relevant symptoms in the body is a concern, to rest here and just declare the pancreas is the source of the ailment is not enough. Its a key element but not the whole. Some other factors:

Diet & Elimination: While diet plays another primary role in the story, reducing protein, carbs and sugar, soundly, helps but there is more to the setting that needs to be acknowledged.The nourishment value of our food is less nutritious. Our U.S. sources have exhausted the top soil quality. Instead of replenishing our land with our natural wastes like other longevity zones, the U.S. drains its precious elimination down the sewage lines to the oceans. As a result we have to look to natural sources of foods and diabetic herbs.

Life stressors: Stress wears down the life force. Are we experiencing more strain than our parents? Hard to say. They survived World War II whereas we have been subjected to escalating undeclared wars, increasing amusement channels, artificially constructed anti-diseases,chemicals, taxes, etc. If, we try to live up to expectations and not restore ourselves (body, mind, spirit) then our adrenals-kidneys will become depleted which is the home of our vital energy production. The result is that all of our organs do not have the energy to sustain. Subsequently, body organs do not do their jobs and need to be restored not individually but systemically before further non-understood ailments surface.    

Character: Our ability to interpret, positively or negatively, may have a lot to say about our ability to manage personal conflict. If we see things positively then our perceptions and response is that we are challenged and figure out solutions. Once negative, then positive options may be overlooked because we are overwhelmed by fear. That high level of anxiety speeds up aging, perpetuates fear and opens the door to an unprotected immunity.We need to discover or relearn how to raise courage during taxing times. As we believe, we perceive, so shall our life follow.
