can be painful and debilitating. Unfortunately, it's quite common. In
fact, a meniscal tear is one of the most frequently occurring cartilage
injuries of the <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/picture-of-the-knee">knee</a>.</p><p>So what is the meniscus? It's a piece of cartilage in your <a data-crosslink-type="tools" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/rm-quiz-know-your-knees">knee</a>
that cushions and stabilizes the joint. It protects the bones from wear
and tear. But all it takes is a good twist of the knee to tear the
meniscus. In some cases, a piece of the shredded cartilage breaks loose
and catches in the knee joint, causing it to lock up.</p><p>Meniscus
tears are common in contact sports like football as well as noncontact
sports requiring jumping and cutting such as volleyball and soccer. They
can happen when a person changes direction suddenly while running, and
often occur at the same time as other knee injuries, like an anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Meniscus tears are a special risk for
older athletes since the meniscus weakens with age. More than 40% of
people 65 or older have them.</p><section><h2 id="091e9c5e8009344e-1-2">What Does a Meniscus Tear Feel Like?</h2><p>Symptoms of a meniscus tear include:</p><ul><li>Pain in the knee</li><li>Swelling</li><li>A popping sensation during the injury</li><li>Difficulty bending and straightening the leg</li><li>A tendency for your knee to get "stuck" or lock up</li></ul><p>At
first, the pain may not be bad. You might even play through the injury.
But once the inflammation sets in, your knee will probably hurt quite a
bit.</p><p>To diagnose a meniscus tear, your doctor will give you a
thorough exam. They will want to hear details about how you got your
injury. X-rays may be necessary, to rule out broken bones and other
problems. You may also need an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan,
which allows a more detailed evaluation of knee cartilage.</p></section><section><h2 id="091e9c5e8009344e-1-3">What's the Treatment for a Meniscus Tear?</h2><p>Treatment
for meniscal tears depends on the size and location of the tear. Other
factors which influence treatment include age, activity level and
related injuries. The outer portion of the meniscus, often referred to
as the “red zone,” has a good <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/heart/anatomy-picture-of-blood">blood</a>
supply and can sometimes heal on its own if the tear is small. In
contrast, the inner two thirds of the meniscus, known as the “white
zone,” does not have a good <a data-crosslink-type="tools" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/rm-quiz-blood-basics">blood</a> supply. Tears in this region will not heal on their own as this area lacks blood vessels to bring in healing nutrients.</p></section><div class="article-page active-page" data-page="2"><section> <p>Happily,
not all meniscal tears require surgery. If your knee is not locking up,
is stable, and symptoms resolve, nonsurgical treatment may suffice. To
speed the recovery, you can:</p><ul><li><b>Rest the knee.</b> Limit activities to include walking if the knee is painful. Use crutches to help relieve pain.</li><li><b>Ice your knee</b> to reduce pain and swelling. Do it for 15-20 minutes every 3-4 hours for 2-3 days or until the pain and swelling is gone.</li><li><b>Compress your knee.</b> Use an elastic bandage or a neoprene type sleeve on your knee to control swelling.</li><li><b>Elevate your knee</b> with a pillow under your heel when you're sitting or lying down.</li><li><b>Take anti-inflammatory <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/drugs/index-drugs.aspx">medications</a></b>. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (<a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/features/pain-relief-how-nsaids-work">NSAIDs</a>), like <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-6143/advil+oral/details">Advil</a>, <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-1289-NAPROXEN+-+ORAL.aspx?drugid=1098&drugname=Aleve+Oral">Aleve</a>, or <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-9368-IBUPROFEN+-+ORAL.aspx?drugid=4387&drugname=motrin+oral">Motrin</a>,
will help with pain and swelling. However, these drugs can have side
effects, such as an increased risk of bleeding and ulcers. They should
be only used occasionally, unless your doctor specifically says
otherwise.</li><li><b>Use <a data-crosslink-type="article" data-metrics-link="" href="https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/how-to-stretch">stretching</a> and strengthening exercises to help reduce stress to your knee</b>. Ask your doctor to recommend a physical therapist for guidance.</li><li><b>Avoid impact activities such as running and jumping.</b></li></ul></section><section> <p>These
conservative treatments, however, aren't always enough. If a tear is
large, unstable, or causing locking symptoms surgery may be required to
either repair or remove unstable edges. The procedure is usually pretty
simple, and you can often go home the same day. You may need a brace

<div><b>Some people swear by an afternoon nap</b> – whether it’s to catch up on lost sleep or to help them feel more alert for the afternoon ahead. Even Boris Johnson supposedly favours a power nap during his work day (though the prime minister’s staffers contest this claim). Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Leonardo Da Vinci were all famous nappers.</div>
<div>But while many of us may not feel we usually have enough time to squeeze a nap into our day, working from home during the pandemic may now afford us an opportunity to give napping a try.</div>
<div>Napping is a great way to feel more rested and alert – and some research shows it can benefit our cognitive function. However, you may want to consider how long you have to sleep before heading to bed for your midday nap.</div>
<div>If you need to be alert right after waking up (for example, if you’re catching a few extra minutes of sleep during your lunch break), so-called “power naps” of 10-30 minutes are recommended. Longer naps may cause some initial drowsiness – though they keep sleepiness at bay longer. But drinking coffee directly before a nap may help you wake up without feeling drowsy while also boosting your alertness.</div>
<div>While short naps are great for increasing energy, longer naps are both more restorative and beneficial for learning. For example, they improve activation of the hippocampus – an area of the brain important for learning and memory. A one to two hour afternoon nap is shown to benefit both your motor skills and your ability to recall facts and events.</div>
<div>A study from China has even suggested that regular afternoon napping is linked to better cognitive function in older adults. The researchers asked 2,200 over-70s about their napping habits before having them undergo a series of cognitive tests which measured things like memory and language skills. They found that those who usually napped were less likely to have cognitive impairments than those who didn’t. This was true regardless of age or level of education.</div>
<div>But nap length may play a role here – a similar study showed that those who usually napped for 30-90 minutes had better overall cognition compared to those who napped for longer or shorter, or who didn’t nap at all.
<div><b>Why Naps Work.</b></div><br/>
<div>The reasons why short naps are so beneficial for alertness and focus are not well understood. It’s possible that napping helps the brain clean up sleep-inducing waste products that would otherwise inhibit brain activity, and that they replenish the brain’s energy stores. Short naps may also help improve your attention by letting particularly sleepy areas of the brain recover, thereby preventing instability in the brain’s networks.</div>
<div><b>A man laying on a gray couch next to a plant, rubbing his eyes.</b></div>
<div>Longer naps are more restorative, but you may feel more drowsy after waking up. Photo by Dusan Petkovic/ Shutterstock.</div>
<div>Longer naps, on the other hand, are more restorative partly because there is time to enter multiple sleep stages, each of which supports different learning processes. For example, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the brain is almost as active as when awake. This activity in different brain regions – including those important for learning and memory – may be why REM sleep supports both long-term memory and emotional memory.</div>
<div>During REM sleep in particular, the brain strengthens newly developed connections that are important for improvements in motor skills. Longer sleep also reduces unimportant connections, and this balance can improve how quickly and effectively the brain works as a whole.</div>
<div>Non-REM sleep – the sleep stage we spend most of our time in – contains both slow brain waves and sleep spindles. The sleep spindles are periodic burst-like signals between different brain areas, which are believed to reactivate and consolidate memories. Both the slow brain waves and the spindles increases plasticity – the brain’s ability to learn and adapt to new experiences.</div>
<div>Although napping has many positive short-term effects, they are not recommended for people who suffer from insomnia. Because naps decrease sleepiness, they may make it harder to fall asleep when going to bed in the evening. Naps should also be avoided in situations where optimal performance are needed instantly afterwards, as it may take some time to fully wake up.</div>
<div>Other research has shown that frequent napping was related to high BMI and high blood pressure. Napping was more common in shift workers, retired people, and smokers, and in people with genes related to sleep disorders or obesity. To what degree napping was harmful or beneficial for these groups remains unknown, but it’s clear that napping is more common in groups who have disturbed sleep or need more sleep.</div>
<div>If you’re finding that your attention span is wavering in the afternoon while working from home, perhaps try squeezing a nap into your lunch break. Short naps are great at improving alertness and attention – and if you have time for a longer nap, this can support memory and learning.</div>

Israeli researchers find a conventional diabetes diet faulty and offer a new breakfast-heavy approach that reduces weight and blood-sugar levels.</div>

Can diabetics throw away their insulin pumps simply by changing their diets?<br />
Israeli research published in Diabetes Care suggests that the standard diet recommended for diabetics is making things worse.</div>
<br />
<div>
Perhaps counter-intuitively, eating a big breakfast of starches and sugars can help diabetics replace the need to inject insulin, while at the same time reducing the weight gain associated with diabetes and improving overall cardiovascular health.</div>
<br />
<div>
Type 2 diabetics must inject themselves with insulin, a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into liver, muscle and fat cells, up to four times a day. The injections keep patients alive but trigger a vicious cycle where increasingly higher doses are required.</div>
<br />
<div>
In addition to insulin injections, diabetics generally follow a diet nicknamed “6M” –six small meals spread throughout the day, including a bedtime snack to prevent a drop in sugar levels during the night.</div>
<div>
The new diet protocol is dubbed 3M and calls for just three meals a day, starting with bread, fruit and sweets in the early hours of the morning, a substantial lunch and a small dinner (specifically lacking any starches, sweets and fruits).</div>
<div>
The 3M diet seems to be better matched to our circadian rhythm, which is optimized for eating in the morning and fasting during the evening and night, the research shows.</div>
<div>
The 6M diet, by contrast, “has not been effective for sugar control, so diabetics require additional medication and insulin,” explains co-lead researcher Prof. Daniela Jakubowicz of Tel Aviv University and Wolfson Medical Center’s Diabetes Unit.“Insulin injections [also] lead to weight gain, which further increases blood sugar levels.”</div>
<div>
In a study of 29 Type 2 diabetes patients, those on the 3M diet lost weight and experienced substantially improved sugar levels. The 6M diet group did not lose weight or experience any improvement in sugar levels.</div>
<div>
“Their need for diabetic medication, especially for insulin doses, dipped substantially. Some were even able to stop using insulin altogether,” said Jakubowicz.</div>
<div>
“In addition, the 3M diet improved the expression of biological clock genes. This suggests that the 3M diet is not only more effective in controlling diabetes, it may also prevent many other complications such as cardiovascular disease, ageing and cancer, which are all regulated by the biological clock genes.”</div>
<div>
This may be the mechanism that makes the 3M diet successful, “as it enhances insulin secretion and improves sugar delivery into the muscles, creating a balanced daytime and nocturnal glucose metabolism.”</div>
<div>
The researchers — also from the Hebrew University, Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, as well as Lund University in Sweden — will next investigate the role certain proteins play in breakfast foods consumed by diabetics.

There are many different ways blood sugar (glucose levels in the blood) can be affected and cause problems with sugar control in people with diabetes. Each person reacts differently to various items that influence blood sugars. There are some compounds individuals with diabetes may want to examine to see how they influence their own blood sugar levels. For example, blood sugar levels can rise after drinking coffee, black tea, and some energy drinks due to the presence of caffeine. There are other compounds that may alter blood glucose levels and methods people with diabetes can use to see what compounds and actions influence their own blood sugar levels.S K G Raohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02732174151893122029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334192006772610093.post-52961183300939555822018-09-30T07:56:00.005-07:002018-09-30T07:56:57.407-07:00[ Spirulina, Mackerl,Banana's, Cinnamon, Ghee.

<div>
Anti-Inflammatory Foods Could Prevent an Early Death.</div>
<br />
<div>
With the rapid rate at which dietary advice changes, it's sometimes very tricky to keep up with what's supposedly good and bad for you. One of the latest studies to be published in the Journal of Internal Medicine has claimed that you can lower your risk of a premature death by following an anti-inflammatory diet.</div>
<br />
<div>
Scientists analyzed data from 68,000 Swedish people between the ages of 46 and 83, and discovered that people who followed a diet consisting of anti-inflammatory foods like tea, coffee, fruits and vegetables, breakfast cereal, whole grain bread, olive oil, nuts, and chocolate were 18% less likely to die at a young age.</div>
<br />
<div>
Most specifically, the participants following an anti-inflammatory diet had a 13% lower risk of dying from cancer and a 20% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular problems. Interestingly, smokers who followed such a diet also saw greater benefits than smokers who didn't.</div>
<br />
<div>
Inflammation is believed to be the root of many illnesses, including dementia, cardiovascular issues, and certain types of cancers. Therefore, using certain types of foods to reduce inflammation seems to be a good way of fighting back any damage caused. According to lead author Joanna Kaluza, "even partial adherence to the anti-inflammatory diet may provide a health benefit."A study that was carried out earlier this year shows that eating three bars of dark chocolate each month may actually lower your chances of getting heart disease. This adds to a body of research that has shown how moderate consumption of chocolate may be good for the heart. Similar research has also shown that drinking coffee may also be connected to improved health and longevity.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">1 - Pomegranates Are Loaded With Important Nutrients.</span></u></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranates are among the healthiest fruits on earth. They contain a range of beneficial plant compounds, unrivalled by other foods. Many studies have shown that they have incredible benefits for your body, and may lower the risk of all sorts of diseases. Here are 12 evidence-based health benefits of pomegranate.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The pomegranate, or Punica granatum, is a shrub that produces a red fruit (1). Categorized as a berry, the pomegranate fruit is about 5-12 cm (2-5 inches) in diameter. It is red, round and looks </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">kind </span><span style="font-size: large;">of like a red apple with a flower-shaped stem.The skin of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the pomegranate is thick and inedible, but there are hundreds </span><span style="font-size: large;">of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">edible seeds called arils within.The arils are what people eat, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">either raw or processed into pomegranate juice. Pomegranates </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">have an impressive nutrient profile: One cup of arils (174 grams) contains (2):</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<b>Vitamin C: 30% of the RDA.</b>
<b>Vitamin K: 36% of the RDA.</b>
<b>Folate: 16% of the RDA.</b>
<b>Potassium: 12% of the RDA.</b>
<b>The pomegranate arils (seeds) are also very sweet, with </b></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size: large;"><b>one cup containing 24 grams of sugar, and 144 calories. </b></span></pre>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<pre><b><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b></b></pre>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <br />
<b>The pomegranate is a fruit that contains hundreds of edible seeds called arils. They are rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals </b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><b>and bioactive plant compounds, but they also contain some sugar.</b></b> </span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b> <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">2 - Pomegranates Contain Two Plant Compounds With Powerful Medicinal Properties.</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two unique substances in pomegranates that are responsible for most of their health benefits.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<pre><span style="font-size: large;">Punicalagins.
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Punicalagins are extremely powerful antioxidants found </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">in</span><span style="font-size: large;">the juice and peel of a pomegranate.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are so powerful that pomegranate juice has been </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">found to have three times the antioxidant activity of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">red wine </span><span style="font-size: large;">and green tea.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate extract and powder is typically made from </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the </span><span style="font-size: large;">peel,due to its high antioxidant and punicalagin</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">content.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Punicic Acid.</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Punicic acid, also known as pomegranate seed oil, is the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">main fatty acid in the arils.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a type of conjugated linoleic acid with potent </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">biological effects.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranates contain punicalagins and punicic acid, unique </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">substances that are responsible for most of their health </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">benefits.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">3 - Pomegranate Has Impressive Anti-Inflammatory Effects.</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chronic inflammation is among the leading drivers of many </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">killer diseases.</span><span style="font-size: large;">This includes heart disease, cancer, type </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and even obesity.</span><span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">has potent anti-inflammatory properties, which are largely </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">mediated </span><span style="font-size: large;">by the antioxidant properties of the punicalagins.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Test tube studies have shown that it can reduce inflammatory</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">activity in the digestive tract, as well as in breast </span><span style="font-size: large;">cancer</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and colon cancer cells.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">One study in diabetics found that 250 ml of pomegranate </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">juice per day for </span><span style="font-size: large;">2 weeks lowered the inflammatory markers </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">CRP and interleukin-6 by </span><span style="font-size: large;">32% and 30%, respectively.</span><br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The punicalagins in pomegranate juice have been shown to </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">reduce inflammation, one of the leading drivers of many </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">killer diseases.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>4. Pomegranate May Help Fight Prostate Cancer.</u><b></b></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Laboratory studies have shown that pomegranate extract can </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">slow down cancer cell reproduction, and even induce</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.</span><span style="font-size: large;">The PSA </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(prostate specific antigen) is a blood marker for prostate </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cancer.</span><span style="font-size: large;">Men whose PSA levels double in a short period of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">time are at increased risk of </span><span style="font-size: large;">death from prostate cancer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Interestingly, a human study found that 237 ml (8 oz) of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pomegranate juice per day increased the PSA doubling time </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">from 15 months to 54 months, which is huge.</span></div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></u></b>

<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is preliminary evidence that pomegranate juice can </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">be </span><span style="font-size: large;">useful in men with prostate cancer, potentially </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">inhibiting </span><span style="font-size: large;">cancer growth and lowering the risk of death.</span></div>

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women.</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate extract has been shown to inhibit reproduction </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">of breast cancer cells, and may even kill some of them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, this is currently limited to laboratory studies.
More research is needed.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Laboratory studies have shown that pomegranate extract can </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">help fight breast cancer cells, but human studies are </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">needed to confirm this.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">6 - Pomegranate May Lower Blood Pressure.</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the leading </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">drivers of heart attacks and strokes.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></pre>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In one study, people with high blood pressure had a significant reduction after consuming 150 ml (5 oz) of pomegranate juice daily for 2 weeks (15).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Other studies have found similar effects, especially for systolic blood pressure (the higher number in a blood pressure reading)</span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b> <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">7 - Pomegranate May Help Fight Arthritis and Joint Pain.</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Arthritis is a common problem in Western countries.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many different types, but most of them involve some form of inflammation in the joints. Given that the plant compounds in pomegranate have anti-inflammatory effects, it makes sense that they could help treat arthritis. Interestingly, laboratory studies have shown that pomegranate extract can block enzymes that are known to damage joints in people with osteoarthritis.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has also been shown to be beneficial for arthritis in mice, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but there is very little evidence in humans so far.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Studies in animals and isolated cells have shown that pomegranate extract may be beneficial against several forms of arthritis, but human research is needed.</span><br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b> <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">8. Pomegranate Juice May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Heart disease is currently the world's most common cause of premature death.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a complicated disease, driven by many different factors.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Punicic acid, the main fatty acid in pomegranate, may help protect against several steps in the heart disease process.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a study in 51 people with high cholesterol and triglycerides, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">800 milligrams of pomegranate seed oil per day for 4 weeks was shown to significantly lower triglycerides and improve the triglyceride: HDL ratio.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another study looked at the effects of pomegranate juice in people with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. They noted significant reductions in LDL cholesterol, as well as other improvements.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate juice has also been shown, in both animal and human studies, to protect the LDL cholesterol particles from oxidation, one of the key steps in the pathway towards heart disease.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE: Several human studies have shown that pomegranate can have benefits against heart disease. It improves the cholesterol profile and protects LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>9. Pomegranate</u></b> Juice May Help Treat Erectile Dysfunction Oxidative damage can impair blood flow in all areas of the body, including erectile tissue. Pomegranate juice has been shown to be beneficial in increasing blood flow and erectile response in rabbits. In a study of 53 men with erectile dysfunction, pomegranate appeared to have some benefit, but it was not statistically significant. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>BOTTOM LINE</b>:</u> Pomegranate juice has been linked to reduced symptoms of erectile dysfunction, but more research is needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>10. Pomegranate</u></b> Can Help Fight Bacterial and Fungal Infections The plant compounds a pomegranate can help fight harmful microorganisms. For example, they have been shown to be beneficial for some types of bacteria, as well as the yeast Candida albicans. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects may also be protective against infections and inflammation in the mouth. This includes conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis and denture stomatitis. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, which may be useful against common diseases of the gums. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>11. Pomegranate</u></b> May Help Improve Memory There is some evidence that pomegranate can improve memory. In one study in surgical patients, 2 grams of pomegranate extract prevented deficits in memory after the surgery. Another study in 28 elderly individuals with memory complaints found that 237 ml (8 oz) of pomegranate juice per day significantly improved markers of verbal and visual memory (37). There is also some evidence from studies in mice that pomegranate can help fight Alzheimer's disease.</span><br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">BOTTOM LINE:</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some evidence shows that pomegranate can improve memory in the elderly and post-surgery, and studies in mice suggest that it can protect against Alzheimer's disease.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pomegranate is rich in dietary nitrates, which have been shown to improve exercise performance.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a study of 19 athletes running on a treadmill, 1 gram of pomegranate extract 30 minutes before exercise significantly enhanced blood flow.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This led to a delay in the onset of fatigue, and an increase in exercise efficiency.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">More studies are needed, but it seems like pomegranate may be beneficial for physical performance, similar to beetroot juice.</span></div>

You won’t believe this amazingly ingenious solution for your neck and shoulder pain or tension!
According to yoga expert Jill Miller, we all have a secret pressure point, which we can access to relieve
this burdensome discomfort. And surprisingly this pressure point is not located near the shoulders
because the source of our suffering actually lies in our hands.</div>
<br />
<div>
Here is a simple exercise you can do in 2 minutes to remedy the problem. All you need is a
rubber ball or tennis ball.</div>
<br />
<div>
Watch the instructional video,</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XgoF6wGccLw" width="560"></iframe><br />
<div>
Now note the following steps before trying this exercise yourself. There are just 5 simple, straightforward steps.Step 1
neck shoulder pain, pressure, hand Locate the juncture where your thumb meets the rest of your hand. This muscle group is called the thenar eminence.</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Orkrm_JIBlg" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<div>
Step 2.</div>
<div>
Neck shoulder pain, pressure, hand.</div>
<div>
Place the ball down on a surface (e.g. desk). Then repeatedly squeeze one of your hands onto the ball, using it to ‘pry apart’ the thenar eminence. You may feel some uncomfortable pain.</div>
<div>
Step 3</div>
<div>
Neck shoulder pain, pressure, hand Then pivot your hand as if you are squeezing an orange, rotating it from side to side. After a short time, your hand will feel very warm. May also interest you:</div>

<div><b><u>Upswing: Caffeine.</b></u></div>
<div><b>There are many different ways blood sugar (glucose levels in the blood) can be affected and cause problems with sugar control in people with diabetes. Each person reacts differently to various items that influence blood sugars. There are some compounds individuals with diabetes may want to examine to see how they influence their own blood sugar levels. For example, blood sugar levels can rise after drinking coffee, black tea, and some energy drinks due to the presence of caffeine. There are other compounds that may alter blood glucose levels and methods people with diabetes can use to see what compounds and actions influence their own blood sugar levels.</b></div>
<div><b><i> Upswing: Sugar-Free Foods.</u></i></div>
<div><i><u>A number of foods claim to be "sugar-free," but these foods raise blood sugar levels because many of them contain carbohydrates in starches, fats, and even fiber. Sugar alcohols such as sorbitol and xylitol add sweetness to foods but still may have enough associated carbohydrates to raise blood sugar levels. Foods with high levels of carbohydrates are likely to raise blood sugar levels very high, and eventually may cause organ damage over time in people with diabetes.</i></u></div>
<div><b><u>Upswing: Chinese Food</b></u></div>
<div><b>Foods high in fat can cause blood sugar to stay higher for longer periods of time. Pizza, French fries, and most fried foods are high in carbohydrates and fat. It’s a good idea to check your blood sugar about two hours after you eat such foods to see how your blood sugar levels are affected.</b></div>
<div><b><u>Upswing: A Bad Cold.</b></u></div>
<div><b>Dehydration can elevate your blood sugar so it is wise to stay well hydrated. If you are sick, diarrhea and vomiting for more than two hours, or illness longer than a few days may alter your blood sugar. Moreover, blood sugar rises as your body tries to fight any type of illness. Medications such as antibiotics and decongestants may alter your blood sugar. Check your blood sugar levels during these intermittent special situations so you can help determine how your body will react to these illnesses and treatments.</b></div>S K G Raohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02732174151893122029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334192006772610093.post-51942121323553907252016-06-24T12:29:00.001-07:002018-09-30T08:08:48.034-07:00[ Color of Vegitebles.]<div>
What explains the color of Vegetables?.</div>
<div>
They mean thus.</div>
<br />
<div>
Mom knew best when she demanded that we eat our vegetables. Vegetables are powerhouses when it comes to maintaining optimal health. They are packed with vitamins and minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients – all of which help fight disease, obesity, and aging. Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, folate, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C, among others.
Fibrous vegetables (E.g., peppers, carrots, leafy greens) are especially helpful in weight management: they are high in water, and extremely low in calories and fat, so they fill you up with very few calories. They are high in fiber too, which helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels, lowers the risk for heart disease and aids in proper digestion.
The colors found in vegetables are a result of some of the phytonutrients they contain. Phytonutrients are plant compounds that are thought to have health-protecting qualities. Although vegetables contain a lot of nutrients beyond their attributed colored phytonutrient, eating all of the colors of the rainbow helps to ensure that you’re getting a broad spectrum of health-protecting nutrients in your diet. Refer to Every Color of the Rainbow – Vegetables to get a breakdown of typical vegetables, their colors and the associated phytonutrients and their benefits:</div>

You Could Be Low on Nutrients ]<div>There are instances when our cravings can come on pretty strong - such as when you cannot wait to launch into a packet of crisps or sink your teeth into a soft, sugar coated donut. There may be times when you overwhelmingly desire a slab of cheese or a piece of toast.</div>
<div>Whatever your cravings may be, they can be pretty hard to control when they come into play . However, while there are many theories behind why our cravings occur (from what your mother ate while you were in her womb, to the demand of your second 'gut brain,' or even pregnancy cravings) one other, possibly more plausible theory is that our cravings occur due to a lack of a specific nutrient.</div>
<div>Food cravings correspond to a request from our body. This theory maintains that if you replace foods containing the same nutrients you are actually craving, they might help curb the urge to eat unhealthy snacks. In theory, therefore, it should be possible to eat your way out of a packet of crisps, by replacing your desire with a handful of olives. Of course, there are instances when the food you are craving will have to do - after all, a spinach and seafood salad at the movies instead of a box of buttered popcorn isn't going to cut it.</div>
<div>Nevertheless, as with most things, extremes are hard to sustain. Keep in mind that there is a time and a place for everything. But, when your body is calling for more calcium and fatty acids, you should try opt for a dish of eggplant or some crispy kale over a portion of cheese.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">G</span>uavas are found in the tropics, and invoke images of vacations, summer parties and island life, but this tasty fruit is more than a celebratory food. This fruit is bursting with healthy vitamins and minerals and can be used to treat many serious ailments. You can recognize guavas by their yellow, green or maroon skins and creamy white or pink pulp.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">1. Weight loss and gain.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
Guava is a winning fruit for its many great benefits. If you’re trying to lose weight, guavas are not a fruit you need to give up. In fact, this snack-sized fruit can satisfy your appetite while adding few calories, low amounts of carbohydrates and no cholesterol to your diet. Also, compared to other fruit,it adds a low dose of sugar. Guavas also offer a great source of vitamins, proteins, roughage, fibre and minerals. For lean people trying to gain weight, this fruit is also beneficial as it promotes the healthy absorption of nutrients and its substantial nutrients regulate one’s metabolism.</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">2. Blood pressure and Diabetes.</span></b></div>
<div>
Guavas are hypoglycemic and rich in fibre, which help reduce blood pressure. Dietary fibres maintain the blood’s fluidity and prevent it from thickening, which can worsen blood pressure. Foods lacking in fibre (for example refined flour) increase blood pressure because they convert to sugar more quickly. This can help fight or even prevent diabetes. The fibre regulates the sugar being absorbed by the body and the risk of both high spikes and drops in the body’s insulin and glucose levels is reduced.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">3. Diarrhea, dysentery, and gastroenteritis.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
The abundant astringent (substances that contract body tissue) make up of raw guava and guava leaves helps loosen the bowels and reduce the symptoms of diarrhea and gastroenteritis. Being highly alkaline, the guavas act as a disinfectant, removing excess mucus from the intestines and inhibiting microbial growth. For these reasons, guavas can also used to treat dysentery. The guavas’ plentiful supply of vitamin C, carotenoids and potassium can also boost your digestive system.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">4. Thyroid health.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
A good substance for regulating the thyroid’s metabolism is copper, which guavas have plenty of. The thyroid glands regulate important hormones and organ system functions, which helps maintain a healthy balance in your body.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">5. Healthy brains.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
Also present in guavas are high amounts of vitamins B3 and B6. These both have benefits for the health of your brain. B3, which is also called niacin, is known to help increase blood flow and stimulate cognitive function, while B6 helps preserve normal nerve function.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">6. Scurvy.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
Guava is your best source for vitamin C. In fact, it has four times the amount of Vitamin C found in oranges, which are regarded as the go-to food for this vitamin. The concentration of vitamin C can prevent scurvy, a disease caused by a deficiency of this vitamin.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">7. Constipation.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
The seeds of guavas, either ingested whole or chewed, are excellent laxatives. In addition to the fruits' substantial amount of dietary fiber, guavas are advantageous for treating constipation. These two sources cleanse your intestines and excretory system and help your body retain water, helping you achieve healthy bowel movements. Frequently snacking on guavas, then, can be beneficial for proper digestion.
<br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">8. Colds and coughs.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
Drinking the juice of guavas and fresh guava fruit helps in fighting colds and coughs. The astringent quality can lessen mucus, disinfect the respiratory tract, throat, and lungs and reduce microbial activity. The substantial amounts of iron and vitamin C in guavas also help treat viral infections. It’s advised to avoid eating overly ripe guavas when you have a cold or cough, as they can actually aggravate them.</div>
<div>
<b><u>9. Eyesight.</u></b></div>
<div>
The considerable quantities of vitamin A in guavas are extremely beneficial for the health of your vision. This helps slow down macular degeneration, the growth of cataracts and can even improve one’s eyesight deterioration once it has begun.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">10. Cancer prevention.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Guava is also valuable in your diet as a preventative measure against cancerous growths and metastasis. The high levels of an antioxidant called lycopene has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Guava leaf oil is another anti-proliferative extract from the guava plant that has proven effective in reducing cancer growth.</span></div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: red;">11. Skincare.</span></u></b></div>
<div>
Guavas are also fantastic at improving skin texture and keeping your skin looking fresh. Guavas are full of astringents, particularly in fresh fruit and the leaves of the plant. If you rinse your skin with a guava decoction, the fruit can tone and tighten areas of loose skin. Eating the fruit also provides a rich source of vitamins A, B, C, as well as potassium, which are excellent antioxidants and detoxifiers. They can keep your skin glowing, prevent premature aging and wrinkles, and can speed up the healing process of wounds.</div>

Relieve Common Aches and Pains by Pressing These Points...
If you suffer from certain aches and pains, you may be able to get rid of them using reflexology and acupressure on yourself. By doing so, you’ll do away with waiting for doctor’s appointments or suffering in silence.</div>
<div>
If you’re thinking of acupuncture, then you’re right – the two do sound very similar and they actually work on the same principles too. The only difference is that with acupressure, there aren’t any needles to deal with – you apply pressure with your fingers to certain points of your body instead.</div>
<div>
On the other hand, reflexology is the use of therapeutic pressure massage on certain areas of our hands and feet. These massages are designed to improve energy flow, relieve pain and optimize our health. Certain areas of our hands and feet correspond to specific areas of our bodies and even specific organs. The theory is that the root cause of pain in specific areas is usually due to a blockage of energy, which is preventing us from being healthy and vibrant.</div>
<div>
Here is a list of aches and pains that can be treated using acupressure and reflexology, at home or on the go:<br />

<div><b><u>A Bad Cold.</u></b></div>
<div>Dehydration can elevate your blood sugar so it is wise to stay well hydrated. If you are sick, diarrhea and vomiting for more than two hours, or illness longer than a few days may alter your blood sugar. Moreover, blood sugar rises as your body tries to fight any type of illness. Medications such as antibiotics and decongestants may alter your blood sugar. Check your blood sugar levels during these intermittent special situations so you can help determine how your body will react to these illnesses and treatments.</div>
<div><b><u>Job Stress.</u></b></div>
<div>Stress may cause your body to release hormones that can cause rises in your blood sugar. Although this is more common in people with type 2 diabetes, practice relaxation techniques with deep breathing and exercise, if possible, to reduce stress.</div>
<div><b><u>Sports Drinks.</u></b></div>
<div>Although the main design for sports drinks is to help individuals replenish fluids quickly, many of them contain large amounts of sugar. For moderate workouts of less than an hour, plain water should do to replenish your fluids. For more intense workouts, a sports drink may be appropriate, but people with diabetes should check with their doctor to see which particular sports drinks would be best for them to use.</div>
<div><b><u>Dried Fruits.</u></b></div>
<div>Although fruit is a healthy choice for most individuals, people with diabetes should be aware dried fruits contain a large amount of carbohydrates in a small serving size. For example, two tablespoons of dried raisins, cranberries, or cherries have the same amount of carbohydrates as a small piece of fresh fruit. Three dried dates contain 15 g of carbohydrates so eating a handful or two of dried fruits may cause high spikes in blood glucose levels in many individuals.</div>
<div><b><u>Steroids and Water Pills.</u></b></div>
<div>Steroids, commonly used to treat rashes, arthritis, asthma, and other medical conditions, can cause blood sugar levels to rise. Corticosteroids such as prednisone may trigger the development of diabetes in otherwise healthy individuals. Diuretics (water pills) may raise blood sugar levels, while antidepressants may either raise or lower them. If you need to take these medications and have diabetes, carefully monitor your blood glucose levels to see how these medications affect you.</div>
<div><b><u>Cold Medicines.</u></b></div>
<div>Cold medicines often contain the decongestants pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine; they also may contain sugar and/or alcohol. These components may raise your blood sugar levels. Antihistamines don’t cause a problem with blood sugar levels. If you decide to purchase over-the-counter cold medicines, ask the pharmacist about the possible effects it may have on your blood glucose levels.</div>
<div><b><u>Birth Control Pills.</u></b></div>
<div>Estrogen in birth control pills can affect the way a person with diabetes may respond to insulin. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) advises women with diabetes to use a birth control pill containing norgestimate and a synthetic estrogen. The ADA also suggests birth control injections and implants are safe for women with diabetes, but suggest they still have some effects on blood sugars levels. If women elect to use these birth control methods, they should monitor their blood sugar levels, especially for several weeks when these agents are first administered. Women with diabetes should discuss their birth control options with their doctor.</div>
<div><b><u>Household Chores.</u></b></div>
<div>Normal activities such as mowing the lawn or cleaning the house count as moderate physical activity for a person with diabetes (and for other people, too!). This type of activity may help lower the blood sugar in a person with diabetes. People with diabetes should participate in mild to moderate physical activity because the activity may lower blood glucose and increase overall fitness.</div>
<div><b><u>Yogurt.</u></b></div>
<div>Probiotic foods may help people with diabetes by improving digestion. Yogurt, for example, is reported to contain "healthy" bacteria that may help protect against gastrointestinal problems. The best yogurt choice is plain yogurt or "light yogurt" with no added sugar or fruit.</div>
<div><b><u>Vegan Diet.</u></b></div>
<div>People with diabetes who switched to a vegan diet (no meat or animal products such as dairy or egg consumed) or entirely plant–based diet, according to some researchers, had a much better blood sugar control and required less insulin. Although the mechanism is not entirely clear, whole grains, fiber, and beans may function by slowing down carbohydrate digestion, thereby producing sugars at a lower rate. People with diabetes should check with their doctor before they make any major changes to their diet.</div>
<div><b><u>Cinnamon.</u></b></div>
<div>Some studies suggest sprinkling your food with cinnamon may lower blood sugar in individuals with type II diabetes. Study investigators suggest cinnamon can add flavor without adding salt, carbohydrates, or calories. Moreover, cinnamon may improve the body’s ability to use insulin. People with diabetes should discuss use of cinnamon with their health care professional before making any dietary changes.</div>
<div><b><u>Sleep.</u></b></div>
<div>Regular testing of your blood sugar is important to determine how it fluctuates during a typical 24-hour period. Blood sugar can fall low during sleep for some people with type I diabetes; these people may benefit from a small snack just before bedtime. For other people, blood sugar can rise in the morning even before eating breakfast – this is due in part to changes in hormones or a drop in insulin levels. A good way to determine how your body utilizes glucose is to use a continuous blood glucose monitor on occasion. It can help you determine the blood glucose fluctuations that are normal for you.</div>
<div><b><u>Exercise.</u></b></div>
<div>Most clinicians agree that physical activity almost always can improve an individual’s health, whether they have diabetes or have normal blood glucose levels. Unfortunately, when people with diabetes do intense or endurance type exercises, their blood sugars may spike up and then drop for as long as 24 hours. People with diabetes should check their blood sugar before, during, and after exercises to be sure their blood sugar levels don’t go too high or too low. Good blood glucose monitoring, coupled with appropriate treatments, can avoid this blood glucose roller coaster effect of highs and lows.</div>
<div><b><u>Alcohol.</u></b></div>
<div>The same roller coaster effect of high and low blood sugar that occurs with exercise can occur when people with diabetes drink alcohol. At first, glucose levels may rise, but then they can fall and remain low as long as 12 hours after drinking. The roller coaster effect can be reduced if the person eats food when drinking alcohol. Alcoholic drinks can also contain a lot of carbohydrates. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggests a woman should drink only one alcoholic beverage per day, and two per day for men. One alcoholic drink is equal to 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of liquor (whiskey or vodka).</div>
<div><b><u>Heat.</u></b></div>
<div>Being overly hot or sweating makes your blood sugar more difficult to control. Going in and out of air conditioning can have a roller coaster-like effect on your blood glucose levels. Staying in air-conditioned environments during the heat of the day and drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration is a good way to avoid heat–related problems in controlling your blood sugar. In addition, people with diabetes should know that their medications, the glucose meter, and test strips could be affected by high heat such as the type of heat that can occur in a hot car or on a windowsill in the sun. Keep these items at room temperature.</div>
<div><b><u>Female Hormones.</u></b></div>
<div>Another roller coaster effect of high and low blood sugar occurs due to hormone changes. Female’s blood glucose levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and during menopause. Frequent blood sugar level determinations can help people with diabetes manage this roller coaster effect due to hormonal changes. Your physician may provide hormone replacement therapy, but should discuss with you the risks and benefits of this therapy and how it may interact with your blood sugar levels.</div>
<div><b><u>Is Sugar Bad for You?</u></b></div>
<div>If you are a chocoholic and/or have a huge sweet tooth and have diabetes, you do not have to give these items up forever. The key is to understand that sugar compounds will increase your blood sugar levels more quickly than other carbohydrates, but the total amount of carbohydrate intake is most important. Consequently, if people with diabetes can keep a serving size small, they can enjoy their favorite foods as long as they take into account that the overall total carbohydrate intake and calories do not exceed their usual dietary levels. This means a small serving of sweets should be offset by eating other foods that contain no "sweets."</div>
<div><b><u>What About the Glycemic Index?</u></b></div>
<div>The glycemic index (GI) of foods is a rating of how individual foods raise blood sugar. The daily carbohydrate total is one way to manage blood glucose levels. Consequently, eating beans and whole grains that have a lower glycemic index than white bread or pasta can help keep blood sugars lower. So, if you want a small amount of high glycemic index foods (a small piece of pie, for example), it would be better to have the rest of the daily carbohydrate total made from low glycemic index foods. The ADA has glycemic index ratings and offers diet suggestions for people with diabetes.</div><br/>

The food you take contains carbohydrates as you enjoy your food it is releasing glucose in to the blood stream as they are getting digested.Some food you take may contain glucose or sugar.<br />
<br />
Our body I mean adults do not need sugar since all the food they eat gets glucose / sugar from the food you eat.</div>
<div>
The rate of release of glucose by different foods can be determined by knowing the Glycemic Index or GI is a measure of the blood glucose response following the ingestion of a fixed portion of food.<br />
<br />
The GI of glucose is considered as 100.That means when 100 grams of glucose is consumed the blood glucose level increases by 100%.<br />
<br />
The GI of Rice is <b>80</b> and that of say Millet is 55 to 57.For a diabetic,lower the GI better the management.World Health Organizations has classified low GI foods and those above 80 are classified as high GI foods.Low GI foods help in better management of diabetics but also help in reduction of blood lipids and obesity.</div>
<div>
<br />
Recently,Glycemic load (GL) is being used to know the foods to be consumed for the management of diabetes.GI tells how fast the food releases glucose into the blood but does not indicate the carbohydrate content in it.<br />
The rationale for establishing glycemic load as an important characteristic of food is based on the fact that,a larger amount of food with certain amount of glycemic Index that contains few available carbohydrates would have the same effect on blood sugar as a smaller amount of food that has the same glycemic index but a higher carbohydrate content.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>GL of foods is based on GI of foods.</b></div>
<div>
GL is the product of the Glycemic Index and the grms of available carbohydrate in a 100 grms of serving</div>
<pre></pre>
<pre>GL=
GI x available carbohydrate(g) in 100g
-------------------------------------------------
100</pre>
<div>
<b>Example:</b></div>
<div>
1 - GI of water melon is 72,the available carbohydrate content is 5g so the GL is 3.6</div>
<div>
2 - GI of food is 100 and the available carbohydrate is 10 then GL is 10</div>
<div>
3 - GI of a food is 10 and the available carbohydrate IS 100g then GL is 10</div>
<div>
<div>
The above examples indicate that foods with high GI when consumed more have the same effect on blood glucose levels.</div>
<div>
<br />
Millets have high fiber fraction ( 1.2 to 9.8%) and the carbohydrates are of complex type so,when ingested sugars are released slowly in to the blood .Therefore the GI of the Millet is low which is helpful in the Management of Diabetes.</div>
