Gymnema Sylvestre Herb

Very useful information about a promising herb for diabetes, stopping SUGAR CRAVINGS and managing your weight.

Gymnema Sylvestre leaf
is a herb native to the tropical forests of southern and central India where it has been used as a naturopathic treatment for diabetes for nearly two-thousand years.

While it is still being studied, and the effects of the herb are not entirely known, the herb has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels when used for an extended period of time. Additionally, Gymnema Sylvestre reduces the taste of sugar when it is placed in the mouth, thus some use it to fight sugar cravings. From extract of the leaves were isolated glycosides known as Gymnemic acids, which exhibit anti-sweet activity.

"If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it."

Here Are a Few Other Ways to Relax 

* Breathing exercises. Sit or lie down and uncross your legs and arms. Take in a deep breath. Then push out as much air as possible. Breathe in and out again, this time relaxing your muscles on purpose while breathing out. Keep breathing and relaxing for 5 to 20 minutes at a time. Do the breathing exercises at least once a day.

* Progressive relaxation therapy. In this technique, which you can learn in a clinic or from an audio tape, you tense muscles, then relax them.

* Another way to relax your body is by moving it through a wide range of motion. Three ways to loosen up through movement are circling, stretching, and shaking parts of your body. To make this exercise more fun, move with music.

* Replace bad thoughts with good ones. Each time you notice a bad thought, purposefully think of something that makes you happy or proud. Or memorize a poem, prayer, positive affirmation or quote and use it to replace a bad thought.

Whatever method you choose to relax, you must practice it. Just as it takes weeks or months of practice to learn a new sport, it takes practice to learn relaxation. Source: American Diabetes Association.

Diabetes Rates Increase 

Rates increase for both men and women

Natural Treatments for Diabetes
Medical News Today, the largest independent health and medical news website on the Internet, reported dramatic increases in a recent five year period in the incidence of diabetes. Here are the figures:

"Women's' diabetes incidence rates increased 267 percent (from 4 percent to 10.7 percent) with age (19-44 vs. 45-64 years)."

"In comparison, Men's' diabetes incidence rates increased 714 percent (from 2.1 percent to 15 percent) with age."

Folks, this is absolutely startling. We have to do something about this and it starts with each of us, and with us finding ways to prevent this incurable disease in our children.
