Posted by Lisa at Wednesday, February 26, 2014For Diabetes Sufferers-Cut the ends of a few okra, put in a cup with water overnight, the next day remove the okra and drink the water… Diabetes will go away and so will your shots. Everything created by God works miraculously on human. One volunteer said that their blood glucose decreased from 300 to 150. Another fell from 195 to 94 and even said the okra water played the role of insulin, very well done.
So while you can keep adding okra to your soups and curries, the
best natural remedy for diabetes is to have raw okra soaked in water.
The question is, what nutrient in okra makes it such a powerful natural
remedy for diabetes? These are some of the health benefits of okra that
can be helpful to diabetics.
Low GI Food: The term GI stands for Glycemic Index. All diabetics are
advised to have food that low glycemic index. Okra has a glycemic index
of 20. According to medical standards that is a very low GI food.
Diabetics can easily snack on okra recipes to fill their stomach and
also control their blood sugar levels.
Fights Kidney Disease: The next step after detection of diabetes type 2
is always a kidney condition. It has been seen that persistent high
blood sugar levels affect your kidneys very badly. The health benefits
of okra include keeping kidney diseases away. So have okra to maintain
good renal health if you are diabetic.
Soluble Fiber: Soluble dietary fibers are good for diabetics because it
plays a important part in carbohydrate digestion. Okra which is rich in
soluble fibers slows down the digestive process and reduces the impact
of carbs on the blood sugar levels.

7 Tips to Prevent Uric Acid Disease/GOUT
Posted by Lisa at Wednesday, January 22, 2014Some of these
tips can help prevent an increase in uric acid in the blood. These tips
include changes in lifestyle and diet should be regularly and strictly
adhered to, if not affected by gout or uric acid disease relapse.
1. Lose Weight In Staged
If overweight, reduce gradually, because losing weight can help lower
uric acid levels. But avoid excessively strict diet, follow a healthy
diet here. Losing weight drastically with excessive dieting may
precipitate an attack of gout. That’s great if accompanied with regular
exercise.
2. Eat Foods Low Purine (Diet Low Purine)
Purine is an organic component that causes gout. These substances are
needed in the body to normal limits are met.@Restrict foods high in
purines -
Organ meats such as liver, kidney, heart
Selected fish and shellfish
Meat & yeast extracts brewers and bakers yeast
Meat soups & stock cubes. Foods that can cause gout such as beans,
mushrooms, cooked spinach, and mustard greens, goat meat, offal and lard
(fat), shellfish, duck and turkey, salmon, mackerel, sardines, crab,
shrimp , anchovy and some other fish, cream and ice cream, and sweet
bread. Some foods containing purine content seen in the list below. It
should be remembered that the sensitivity of a person to be exposed to
uric acid after eating these foods will vary.
3. More White Water Consumption
Approximately 90% of gout is caused by the inability of the kidneys
remove uric acid from the body completely through urine. Water
consumption is believed to improve the disposal of substances that are
not useful as excessive uric acid from the body. Drink at least 6-8
glasses a day.
4. Expand Food Containing Calcium and High Antioxidant
Eating calcium-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits such as
bananas, potatoes, avocados, milk and yogurt. Eating fruits rich in
vitamin C, especially citrus and strawberry.
5. Avoid Alcohol and Soft Drink Consumption
Alcohol can lead to increased production of uric acid, while soft drink
consumption may inhibit the absorption of calcium and calcium even
throw in vain.
6. Limit your consumption of fried food
Fats and oils turn rancid at high temperatures such as in frying time.
Moreover, if the used oil is oil that is used repeatedly. Rancid fats
which can quickly destroy vitamin E and causes an increase in uric acid
in the blood.
7. Increase Sexual Activity
These tips
are more appropriate for those who have become husband and wife. Sexual
activity, such as a kiss can make the body become more relaxed, so easy
to boost the immune system. In addition, sexual intercourse can
facilitate the production of urine so it can reduce the concentration of
uric acid in the blood.
Discipline, Awareness and Healthy Habits.
Again the key here is discipline. You should also take the time to
learn about the food you eat, and take note of foods that seem to
trigger your gout. There is no set uric acid level that triggers gout
attacks, each person has a different threshold so you should pay
attention to how your body reacts. You should also form some healthy
habits to reduce uric acid and prevent gout attacks.
If you are
unsure about a part of your diet, consult your doctor about it. Even
though there are a lot of resources online to help you, consulting with
your doctor is still the best way to fine tune your diet and reduce uric
acid levels.
