Diabetes is currently ranked in the top five in the world of diseases that cause death.
It may seem to be harmless because people relate diabetes to having sugar issues but for that very reason it must be taken serious.
People generally view sugar to be very sweet and harmless.
If you were to dissect the definition of a drug you would find that sugar could "technically"be considered a drug.
By definition, a drug is any substance that is concentrated and isolated and from its' original source.
Sugar is concentrated and isolated from the sugar cane.
Cocaine is isolated and concentrated from the poppy plant.
Starch is isolated and concentrated from wheat.
If we know some of the pitfalls involved with the contraction of diabetes then we will be more likely to attempt to avoid committing these hazardous infractions.
Under normal circumstances people generally have a basic understanding of what they believe diabetes to be.
Most people understand it to be a problem with the regulation of blood sugar.
This is a basic but true statement.
The confusion starts not at the understanding of what diabetes is but more so of what activities in which a person engages that triggers a case of diabetes.
To begin, there are two types of diabetes of which can be contracted.
The first type is called Type I diabetes or also known as juvenile diabetes.
Type I diabetics do not produce insulin which is necessary in regulating the blood sugar.
They generally have to use insulin pumps or inject themselves daily with shots of insulin.
The second type of diabetes is called Type II diabetes or adult onset diabetes.
Type two diabetics are people who produce insulin but have a problem with controlling their blood sugar for one reason or the other.
Of the diabetic population there are roughly ninety-percent who are type II diabetics and ten-percent who are type I diabetics.
The first way that people can contract diabetes is at birth.
It is unfortunate that this happens because the embryo does not have any power over their parent's diet.
During the formation of the embryo if just one of the parents are missing one or more of the essential nutrients to regulate insulin or blood sugar then the baby is born with diabetes.
Those two missing nutrients are generally chromium and vanadium which since the mid 1950's have been used in the treatment of diabetes.
The reasons are still not clear as to why a baby is born not producing insulin.
What is clear is that in type II diabetic infant cases the diet of the parents play a major role.
The second way that people can contract diabetes is through their diet.
Type II diabetes is the most common form that occurs in adults.
When people fail to eat the correct diet a large window of opportunity opens for diabetes to enter.
The most important piece to this case is that the consumption of refined and fried foods are the main culprits.
Although you may not believe it, refined foods are converted into sugar by your body.
A product or food item does not have to say sugar on the label for it to be considered sugar by the body.
What would be some examples of refined foods? Refined foods are broken into two categories.
The first category of refined foods are not necessarily foods.
They are more junk and snacks.
Ketchup, mustard, candy, ice cream, potato chips, carbonated drinks and bottled juices are the first form of refined foods.
The second category are actual foods that people consume on the regular basis.
Fried meats, pasta, white rice, white potatoes, white bread, white sugar and low fiber carbohydrates like bagels.
The body immediately converts these food items into sugar.
What happens inside of the body when you consume these things? When you put any of these foods into your system your insulin frantically goes to work to push glucose (sugar) out of the blood and into your cells.
The unfortunate part is that insulin regulates fat storage as well.
Once you are done consuming these unhealthy foods they immediately go to your waist.
If you continue this cycle over an extended period of time your pancreas starts to get weary because you are now fifty pounds overweight.
Instead of producing enough insulin for a person that was two-hundred pounds, your pancreas now has to produce enough insulin for a person that is two-hundred and fifty pounds.
In turn this slows the function of the pancreas and leads to excess glucose (sugar) in the blood therefore giving you the diagnosis of diabetes.
If you lose the weight your pancreas will begin to work correctly again.
The key is not to lose weight artificially.
By artificial I mean losing weight by running or exercising.
These two forms of weight loss are helpful but they should not be the leading methods.
In order to improve from diabetes you must start with correct nutrition and cleaning the body.
There are several nutrients that assist diabetics but everything begins with the correct diet.
