6 ways to beat type 2 diabetes naturally

The secret to managing type 2 diabetes doesn’t come in a pill. In most cases, simple lifestyle changes will do the trick.

It is no secret that type 2 diabetes is on the rise around the world. But if you have been diagnosed, there is a lot you can do to improve your health — and the best place to start is by changing your lifestyle. Click here >> www.showmehealthytips.com

“Basic principles of good health like eating right, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight can be as effective as medicine in the management of type 2 diabetes for most people,” says dietitian Sue McLaughlin, RD, diabetes educator and president of health care and education for the American Diabetes Association. This is also backed up by the Look AHEAD study, a large clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers found that over a four-year period, changes like eating a healthier diet and getting more exercise led to weight loss and improved diabetes control in 5000 overweight or obese participants with type 2 diabetes.

If you’re ready to make positive changes to help control diabetes, here’s how to get started: www.showmehealthytips.com

1. Improve your diet

Keeping close tabs on your diet is a major way to manage type 2 diabetes. A healthy diet for people with type 2 diabetes includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, lean meats, and low-fat dairy. Focus on eating fruits and non-starchy vegetables, like broccoli, carrots, and lettuce, and having smaller portions of starchy foods, meat, and dairy products. Be especially careful about loading up on foods that are high on the glycemic index (GI), a system that ranks foods according to how they affect glucose levels. High-GI foods include white breads, white rice, and soda. www.showmehealthytips.com

Limit fast food, too. In a 15-year study of 3,000 young adults, those who ate fast food more than twice a week developed insulin resistance (a diabetes risk factor) at twice the rate of people who weren’t fast food junkies. Plus, fast food is loaded with refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and sodium, which can be especially unhealthy for people with type 2 diabetes.

2. Lose Weight

Shedding weight can improve blood sugar levels and help keep type 2 diabetes under control. And you don’t have to lose a lot of weight to make a difference. “If you already have type 2 diabetes, losing just 10 to 15 kg can lower your glucose levels,” says McLaughlin.

Where your fat is distributed also affects your diabetes risk and management. People who carry most of their fat in their belly (apple shape) are more prone to type 2 diabetes than those with fat mostly in the thighs, hips, and buttocks (pear shape). A woman whose waist measures more than 35 inches and a man with a 40-inch waist need to lose weight for good diabetes management, says McLaughlin, adding that a healthy diet and regular aerobic exercise will whittle away weight in the stomach area.

3. Exercise regularly

Even without losing a pound, exercise can help keep type 2 diabetes under control.

“When you do physical activity, such as walking, your muscle contractions push glucose out of your blood into your cells,” explains McLaughlin. The result: Better blood sugar levels.

Of course, the more intense the exercise, the better. In one study of vigorous exercise and type 2 diabetes, women who walked quickly gained more protection from type 2 diabetes than those who walked at a more leisurely pace.

Regular weight-lifting sessions can also help keep blood sugar levels steady. McLaughlin recommends using hand weights or resistance bands for 30 minutes two to three times a week.

4. Control sleep apnea

Many overweight people with type 2 diabetes also have sleep apnea, a condition in which a person stops breathing temporarily while sleeping.

People with type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea are at higher risk of death from heart attack and stroke. Their blood sugar levels also fluctuate more dramatically while sleeping than in those who have type 2 diabetes, but not sleep apnea, according to one study. These fluctuations have been linked to a higher risk for diabetic complications. www.showmehealthytips.com

Severe cases of sleep apnea may need to be treated with surgery or by wearing a special device while sleeping, but less severe cases can be managed by losing weight. Talk to your doctor if you suspect you may have sleep apnea — loud snoring is one sign. A special sleep test can diagnose sleep apnea.

5. Soothe stress

Stress can make blood sugar levels harder to control, says McLaughlin. Try relaxation techniques to chase away stress. Top-notch stress busters include meditation, massage, and soothing music.

As a bonus, stress relief may help you sleep better. This is very important because studies show that not getting enough sleep can worsen type 2 diabetes. Sleeping less than six hours a night has also been found to contribute to impaired glucose tolerance, a condition that often precedes type 2 diabetes.

Besides the above mentioned ways of soothing stress, try deep breathing before bed. Other tips you can try are:

– Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods at night.
– Maintain a slightly cool temperature in your sleep environment.
– Block out all light and noise.
– Go to bed at the same time every night to establish a sleep schedule.
– These management strategies can have a dramatic impact on blood sugar levels and the progression of type 2 diabetes, says McLaughlin. – – Simple lifestyle changes will improve how you feel today, and help ensure a healthier future. www.showmehealthytips.com

Tinubu Backs his Man: Buhari made a Wise Decision on Fuel Subsidy Removal

APC chieftain and former Governor of Lagos State,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has thrown his weight behind President Buhari over the fuel subsidy removal matter.

Bola Tinubu through a statement said that Buhari had made a prudent and courageous decision on the removal of fuel subsidy and it will only go on to make things better for Nigerians.

The statement said “We all want fuel at a cheaper price. under the subsidy, we got the right price but not the fuel. Meanwhile, some were getting rich on the common man’s predicament. They were laughing to the bank while the rest of Nigeria waited in the petrol line. This is not the way to democratic development. It is a recipe for creating a class of economic predators that would feed off the people and in time gain such power and wealth that they would seek to buy and control if not own government as well.

President Buhari has with this decision put an abrupt and just end to this assault against our economy and political system. He has made a courageous and prudent decision. It is time to end the fuel subsidy and to begin to subsidize the true needs of the people.
To Mr. President, I say congratulations for having the courage to remove the subsidy. The President has taken this tough decision in the interest of the present and future generations of Nigerians.
For some time, I have been a proponent of this action. I believed ending of subsidy was the only sure way to put to sleep the myriad demons that had invaded the subsidy process, sucking the blood of Nigeria, swallowing much of our needed money.

The rentiers will no longer be able to make free money at our common expense. They will no longer be laughing to the bank while you languish in endless fuel queues. Nigeria has taken the historic step needed to create a competitive environment that that will eliminate smuggling, provide incentives for private refineries and attract foreign investments in the downstream sector and create employment.

Instead of just shipping off the oil and having the more expensive finished products sent back to us, Nigeria will move closer to realizing its potential to become the plastic center of the continent by manufacturing these by products. Nothing can stop Nigeria from being the net exporter of fertilizer from the bye products of the oil industry.”

Memorise:
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on
an hill cannot be hid. Mathew 5:14
Read: Mathew 5:14-16

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under
a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.

Message
Jesus introduced Himself to humanity in John
8:12 as the light of the world. Just as the sun is
the physical light of the world, so also is Jesus
the spiritual light of the world. As the light of the
world, Jesus exposes sin and gives sight. Our
memory verse for today shows that Jesus is the
primary light, and we are the secondary light. As
the light of the sun is to the moon, so Jesus is
the source of light, and we are the reflectors of
the light. Jesus said in John 9:5:
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of
the world.”

Now that He is no longer here, we are His
reflected light in the world. I have often told my
children that light is a very powerful force. When
there is light, darkness has no chance than to
disappear. John 1:5 says:
"And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not".
The truth is, not all light can outshine darkness.
For instance, Genesis 1 talks of categories of
lights.
"And God made two great lights; the greater light
to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the
night: he made the stars also." Genesis 1:16

There are lights of the sun, moon and stars. Then
there are man-made lights of varying sizes. If you
flick on the tiny bulb of a flash-light in the midst
of total darkness, you will only see the spot that
the torch is pointing at. Everywhere else will still
be surrounded by darkness. The size of a light
determines the area it will dominate or rule over.
The sun rules over the day because it is far
brighter than the moon. If the moon were to
replace the sun during the day, there would be
darkness during a period that should be day time.
Similarly, if you bring the sun to replace the moon
during night time, the night will turn into day.
This tells us that what determines the result of a
situation is the amount of light it is exposed to.

This means exposing varying degrees of light on
the same situation will give you different results.
The volume of light of God's Word that you are
exposed to will determine the degree of change
you can experience. Mathew 5:16 says:
"Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven."
The Intensity and size of God's light in you will
determine your sphere of domination. Although,
God has commanded you to dominate everything
(Genesis 1:28), the actual scope of your
domination will be determined by the amount of
God's Word that is in you. The Word is the Light
of the world. If you lack the Word, you lack the
light that gives definition to your ability to
dominate.

As you increase your Word content, you
enlarge your coast. Staying away from the Word
automatically reduces your glow and ultimately,
your ability to control forces, situations and
circumstances. On the other hand, the moment
you stop shining as light, darkness will swallow
you up. If you want to be victorious over forces of
darkness, be daily exposed to more light from His
Word.

Prayer Point:
Father, please fill me with Your light and let me
shine across the whole world in Jesus’ name.
