The Silent Killer.

Some people say that high blood pressure is the silent killer. And it is. High blood pressure is a leading cause of death by heart disease. Heart disease is by far the leading cause of all deaths in America. But what causes High blood pressure? You can avoid heart disease.

The number of people developing diabetes is growing faster than any other disease in history. There are 80,000,000 (80 million) Americans that are borderline diabetic. This disease is in the the third or fourth leading cause of death in America and it may soon overtake those ahead of it. You can avoid diabetes.

Cancer, the big “C”, is number two when it comes to death by disease. It is the most feared disease because of it literally eats away your body.You can avoid cancer.

But these diseases and many others have something in common, Sugar and Obesity. Avoid them to live a healthy lifestyle.

Eat a Healthy Diet.

Over 6 million Americans can soon develop type 2 diabetes without knowing it. Millions have hypertension without knowing it. While cancer can eat away your insides for years before you are aware. But there is a simple prevention and even cure for all of these. Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Avoid the whites. White sugar, white flour, white bread, white rice, etc. These all convert to sugar instantly in our bodies providing no nutritional value and ending up as excess fat. They all work against your body causing you to gain weight,  tear down your immune system, reducing the numbers of white blood cells and making you susceptible to a multitude of diseases include heart disease, hypertension, cancer and diabetes. The average person eats over 150 pounds of sugar annually. Sometimes knowingly but quite often without knowing what we are doing. Most people do not know how much sugar is in processed foods, nor do they know the effects. If a person drinks 1 can of soda a daily they are 83% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is developed because you eat poorly and do not exercise. That same 12 ounce cane of soda has the equivalent of 10 spoons of sugar in it.

Exercise Regularly.

Other than eating a healthy diet avoiding sugar we need to exercise everyday. Both cardio exercise and strength training are necessary. Aerobic training helps strengthen your heart while strength training builds muscle helping you to burn fat. The more excess fat you have the more you are likely to develop the deadly diseases. Excess belly fat causes your body to stop producing insulin and therefore makes you diabetic. Type 2 diabetes is 100% avoidable, preventable and curable by a healthy diet and regular exercise. The risks of heart disease and cancer are greatly reduced as well. But as long as you continue to eat the excess sugar and refuse to exercise you are killing yourself.

Live a Healthy Lifestyle.

We all can live longer disease free lives by eating right and exercising regularly. Follow these additional tips to live a healthy lifestyle.

  1. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans. Limit your meat, sugar, sodium and food additives.
  2. Drink Plenty of Water. 60 ounces a day, more if you are overweight or physically active.
  3. Get lots of fresh air and sunshine.
  4. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
  5. Cleanse your entire body regularly, once every 90 days.
  6. Do cardio exercise everyday.
  7. Regular strength training is very important.
  8. See your doctor regularly and follow their instructions.

Help Yourself Prevent Cancer and Diabetes with Maple Syrup Now or Hate Yourself Later

Did you know that your favorite maple syrup is effective in fighting cancer and diabetes?  According to the studies conducted by US researchers, there are strong evidences showing that maple syrup can substantially slow down the growth of cancer cells and can effectively reduce the risk of diabetes.

The new research shows that your favorite maple syrup has thirteen active compounds that serve as antioxidants. These thirteen compounds were previously unknown. The discovery proved that maple syrup could be very effective in fighting bacterial infection, diabetes and cancer.

Maple Syrup as an Anti Diabetic Food

Considerable amounts of the phytohormone, abscisic acid, are found in maple syrup. This acid is a powerful defense against diabetes and metabolic syndrome, because it encourages the release of insulin through pancreatic cells and enhances fat cells’ sensitivity to insulin. Seeram revealed the results of his tests on Canadian maple syrup during the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco.

Anti Cancer Action of Maple Syrup

Quebec researchers, on the other hand, conducted a study to probe the impact of maple syrup on cancer cell growth. The results of this study were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. According to the researchers, your favorite maple syrup can significantly slow down the growth of cancerous cells. It has been found that the syrup is effective in inhibiting the growth of brain, prostate, and lung cancer. However, the efficacy of the syrup on breast cancer growth was less significant.

A Delicious Option in Fighting Cancer and Diabetes

There is no doubt that maple syrup is the favorite of everyone. This is probably the best anti cancer and anti diabetes food today. The studies have shown that the syrup could be more effective than broccoli, blueberries, tomatoes, and carrots in fighting cancer growth.

Further testing also revealed that maple’s syrup extracts are more effective compared to maple sap. For fighting cancer and diabetes, experts suggest that dark colored maple syrup should be used. Dark syrup has high color oxidation which makes it more potent against cancer and diabetes. So if you want the best anti cancer and anti diabetes food, then maple syrup is your answer.
