THE TOP 5 WAYS TO NATURALLY CLEANSE YOUR BLOOD AND PREVENT DIABETES
Number 5. Sleep And De-Stress
Of course, sleep is important for your general health. But there are also many
reasons why sleep is important in the prevention of diabetes.
First, when you sleep, your body is able to repair
itself from any damage that has been done during the day.
Sleep actually lowers... AND raises blood sugar levels, however this isn t cause for concern it
s a natural part of the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM the human body s natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle.
But insufficient sleep is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance.
A recent study found that people who regularly slept for less than
5 hours a night had a whopping 37% increased risk of developing diabetes.
Scientists believe that this is because sleep deprivation
damages the body s ability to metabolise glucose while increasing insulin levels.
Research also shows that sleep deprivation can lead to the interruption of hormone
regulation, particularly with the hormones LEPTIN and GHRELIN...
...two key hormones which play a pivotal role in appetite suppression. That means not getting
enough sleep could create hormonal imbalances which may lead to increased hunger, and increased
weight. And multiple studies have linked sleep deprivation with an increased risk of obesity.
Of course, lack of sleep can also lead to an increase of STRESS. But, even with regular
sleep, you may still suffer from stress. Unfortunately, stress, like sleep deprivation,
stimulates various hormones which can elevate blood sugar levels...
And research from Duke University Medical Center found that stress is
a potential contributor to chronic hyperglycemia.
So take concrete steps to reduce your stress and improve your sleep.
A good way to start is by creating a night-time routine...
Turn away from your screens at least an hour before bedtime,
and try to incorporate restful sleep preparations, like...
...writing a daily journal entry, gentle stretching, and reading. These routines are
all great methods for relaxing your body and your mind, to de-stress and encourage quality sleep.
To de-stress during the day, try mindfulness practices, like yoga or meditation.
Number 4. Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to prevent and fight diabetes,
but DEHYDRATION can seriously harm your health.
Dehydration can lead to brain swelling, kidney failure, and even a coma. But dehydration
also inhibits your body s ability to regulate blood sugar levels properly.
When the body is dehydrated, it is unable to properly process glucose,
which can lead to high blood sugar levels and eventually, diabetes.
When you drink water, it dilutes the concentration of toxins in your blood.
This allows your kidneys to more easily filter out toxins and excess glucose,
which are then flushed out of your body through urine.
Drinking proper amounts of water is also important for your kidney health,
and it helps to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
But, if you find plain old water to be a bit... boring, why not switch things up?
Try adding a slice of lemon to your water! Lemon has been found to help regulate blood
sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower the risk of diabetic neuropathy.
And a recent study showed that those who drank lemon water had a 30% lower blood glucose level,
and slower release of glucose by 35 minutes, compared to those who drank plain water.
But to stay hydrated, you don't have to stick to just water or lemon water. Many varieties of tea,
including green, black, hibiscus, chamomile, and turmeric teas, all offer powerful
diabetes-fighting antioxidants, and studies have found that they can lessen inflammation,
improve cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
So, whatever your healthy drink of choice, the trick is to enjoy it
throughout the day. Stay hydrated to help cleanse your blood and fight diabetes!
Number 3. Burn Your Glucose
This may seem obvious, but regular exercise, especially low-impact aerobic activity,
helps to manage blood sugar levels, reduces the risk of heart attacks,
strokes, and heart disease, and it promotes all-around good health.
When you perform aerobic exercise, your muscle cells grab sugar from your blood
stream to be used as a source of energy. This means that routines like jogging, cycling,
swimming, and even walking, yoga, and dancing can all work to reduce your blood sugar levels.
It also makes your body more sensitive to insulin over time, which in turn helps
your body more efficiently deliver glucose to your muscles and the cycle continues.
This isn't to say that you can t enjoy more intense routines in your fight
against diabetes. High intensity exercise and resistance activities, like basketball,
boxing, or weight-lifting, may actually cause short-term stress and heightened glucose levels...
... But over the long-term, they can strengthen your muscles,
which improves your insulin sensitivity, your glucose control, and your metabolism.
That's why experts recommend starting slowly and allowing your body time to adapt to
exercise with an aim to incorporate higher intensity exercise when your body is ready.
The American Diabetes Association advocates High Intensity Interval Training that s 3
to 5 minutes of low intensity exercise followed by a minute of high intensity activity. Studies
suggest that this style of exercise can improve fitness levels faster than longer
moderate-intensity training, and it may be particularly beneficial for type 2 diabetics.
But even just a half-hour walk or other moderate low-impact activities,
especially after a meal, can help to stabilize your glucose. So,
try grabbing some fresh air, and take a walk around the neighborhood at least once a day.
Number 2. Go "Whole"
Carbohydrates are certainly contentious when it comes to diabetes.
And limiting carbohydrates is definitely important...
...but many healthy foods actually contain carbs, and, in fact, you NEED carbs!
You just want to go for sources COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES...
...like whole grain breads, and whole fruits, like blueberries, bananas, and apples...
..while ditching REFINED CARBOHYDRATES...
...like white flour pastas, potato chips, white breads, and pastries.
And don't be fooled by packaged fruit products. They are fructose-filled,
as the processing keeps the fruit's sugar content while ditching its fiber content. That's why fruit
juices can be harmful to your blood sugar, and they may raise the risk of insulin resistance.
Refined, highly processed carb-heavy foods also supply huge doses of simple sugar,
as they are often made from grains which have been
stripped of their fiber-rich bran layer and their nutritient-rich inner germ.
So eating... or drinking refined carbs often supplies little-to-no nutritional
benefits, and it can lead to a significant blood sugar spike.
But eating unrefined WHOLE grain foods actively works
to reduce your risk of diabetes, and it aids your heart health.
In fact, a recent study found that people who ate 3 servings of whole grains per day had a
25% reduction of heart disease and death than those who ate less than one serving per week.
So, for improved cardiovascular health and for lasting diabetes prevention...
go whole! Incorporate whole fruits, beans, and whole grains into your normal diet.

So, what is our top choice for cleansing your blood and helping prevent type 2 diabetes?...
Number 1. Eat The Right Minerals
MAGNESIUM...
CHROMIUM... VITAMIN C...
These minerals are just a few of the wide range
of ANTIOXIDANTS which can actively work to lower your post-meal glucose levels.
And it's a main reason why your childhood doctor,
and your mother, told you to eat your fruits and vegetables.
Antioxidants like magnesium, chromium, and vitamin C are important for everyone,
but they re especially important for people with diabetes,
as they can help prevent damage to your blood vessels and your nerves.
Both chromium and magnesium deficiencies have been linked with insulin resistance,
and the development of type 2 diabetes.
Chromium is a key nutrient for carbohydrate and fat metabolism,
and it enhances insulin activity while improving glucose tolerance.
Low chromium levels can actually raise blood sugar levels,
and they may also lead to an increase of triglycerides and cholesterol.
But a recent study found that type 2 diabetic participants who consumed chromium picolinate
supplements had better HbA1c scores and lower fasting glucose levels than the control group.
Magnesium, meanwhile, is central to hundreds of chemical and enzymatic activities in your body,
and it helps to regulate your blood pressure. Low levels of this mineral are also associated
with type 2 diabetes, and diabetics tend to shed magnesium through their urine.
But a recent study showed that type 2 diabetic participants who took 300
milligrams of magnesium chloride supplements daily for 16 weeks had
notable improvements in their fasting glucose levels by the end of the trial.
Vitamin C is well-known for a wide range of health benefits,
but did you know that it also helps lower post-meal blood sugar?
Studies show that type 2 diabetics tend to be deficient in this needed mineral.
But a recent study showed that taking 1000 milligram vitamin C supplements daily
worked to reduce blood glucose and blood lipids in type 2 diabetic participants,
while an Australian study found that taking just 500 milligrams of vitamin
C daily reduced overall glucose levels and lowered the risk of post-meal glucose spikes.
Of course, there are many more vitamins and other micronutrient minerals that can,
and should be utilized for diabetes prevention, including FOLATE, POTASSIUM,
MANGANESE, BIOTIN, and ALPHA-LIPODIC ACID.
But, not to worry - going for foods that are rich in magnesium, chromium,
and vitamin C will most likely supply many other blood-cleansing micronutrients.
In general, The American Diabetes Association recommends...
...beans, berries, vegetables, whole fruits, and nuts and seeds.
But if you're looking for chromium specifically, try broccoli. If you want more magnesium, go for
pumpkin seeds. And if you want a jolt of vitamin C, choose an orange... or even a bell pepper!
Obviously, it must be stated that you can still get too much of a good thing
and you should keep your mineral levels in a healthy range. Many micronutrients,
consumed in high amounts, can actually lead to diabetes complications and organ damage.
So, especially before taking any supplements, it's important to speak
with your doctor. However, eating a balanced, portion-controlled diet of beans, berries,
cruciferous and low-starch veggies, whole fruits, and nuts and seeds...
... will ensure that you gain proper amounts of the most
essential blood-cleansing, diabetes-fighting minerals.
So now you know - preventing diabetes and cleansing your
blood of toxins and excess sugar is achievable!
