Gymnema Sylvestre Herb
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.

Soda producers Seek FDA Approval to Use Stevia
Producers of Coca-Cola and Pepsico are awaiting approval from the Federal Drug Administration to substitute stevia for sugar in their soft drinks. Stevia has been used as a sweetening ingredient in foods and drinks by South American natives for many centuries, and there is no report of any plant toxicity to the consumers.

Serene Videos
"View these videos for more stress reduction"
George F. Burns quotes (American comedian 1896-1996)
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.
