Amazing Facts about Diabetes
Diabetes…this word is very famous from ages in the world. There are many references about this word in old medicine books and research papers. In Ayurved diabetes is termed as ‘MADHU MEH’. It means MADHU=Sweet and MEH = Urine. This gives the clear picture about the disorder that the glucose is thrown out of the body and not used in the building energy. In the second century Oritus named this disorder as diabetes. In Greek language Diabetes www.naturonlife.com means to suck. The person who suffers from diabetes, he becomes very much weak, because his energy from the body is taken away…
The story goes behind in the year 1889. Two doctors named Dr. Mehring and Dr. Mikovhaski removed the pancreas of one poor dog…the reason was just the bet. Just for the money. They took the winning amount, and never thought that this bet will initiate into invention…invention of Insulin!!! Amazing, isn’t it?
They took the amount of the bet and had a wonderful shopping and party with friends. They totally forget about the poor dog who was suffering. The helper of these two doctors was the only person who looked after that dog. After some days he founded lot of ants on the urinary tract of the dog. This made the attention of the doctors towards the dog. They tested the urine of the dog and founded that there is lot of glucose in it. The removal of pancreas increased the amount of glucose in urine of the dog. Unfortunately, the dog became the patient of the diabetes. The doctors came to the conclusion that there is some material in the pancreas which controls the amount of glucose. After the many trials and errors scientists were successful at coining that material which is known as Insulin.

The Best And Worst Of Junk and Fast Food
Convenience Foods
Convenience foods are also known as Ready-to-Eat foods.
The advantages are:
Saves time
Do not call for culinary skills
Are tasty and appealing
Some fast food isn’t bad for your health at all either. Frozen meals can come additive-free and be available as healthier options. There are more and more healthy options available on fast food menus for health conscious consumers to choose from. Even a takeaway can have healthy menu options – if you know how to work the menu and go for steamed rice instead of fried, plenty of vegetables, pizza with less fatty meat and cheese etc.
Disadvantages Of Fast Food
The disadvantages of junk food and ready meals are screamed at us on a daily basis by the media. Obviously, if you are looking after your health, you need to be aware that fast food as a rule contains more fat, salt and calories that you really should be taking in on a regular basis.
The occasional treat won’t hurt at all, and eating fast food in moderation is not a problem, but moderation can be difficult when faced with ‘super sizing’ and ‘deals’ that encourage you to buy more than you initially intended just to get a few pounds shaved off of the bill. Don’t be tempted into the ‘buy one get one free’ pizza deals – most people neither want or need extra portions.Super sizing seems to have gone the way of advertising to kids in fast food restaurants, but beware the portion sizes in takeaway food that you order in. The containers of rice and noodles that you get from a Chinese or an Indian takeaway are enough for two to three people to share, so if you eat one all by yourself you’ll take in a massive amount of fat and calories ...and probably give yourself indigestion too.
Family meal deals can also be a problem, as you usually end up with more food than you need and there’s always someone there happy to finish it off. Give the extra large pizzas or chicken buckets a miss and only order what you really need.
So Stop Eating Fast Food......... and keep your self healthy and fit with fresh Food and Water

Benefits of Nutritional Supplements in your daily diet.
Benefits of Nutritional Supplements in your daily diet
Yes, You Really Do Need Them! Here's Why
When it suddenly strikes - an illness, a health problem, a sign of old age, weakness - we begin to search for a dietary or herbal supplement to help us get out of the hole we have unfortunately dug for ourselves.
Nutritional deficiency is almost impossible to avoid in these modern times. With our busy lifestyle, the ever-tempting convenience of fast food, it is now very difficult to enjoy excellent daily nutrition.
This is not to say, though, that health supplements should replace proper nutrition. Besides, nutritional supplements are still supplements. They work by complementing your diet to make sure you get the right nutrients that you need
I admit that it is difficult, even for me, to stay away from fast foods or non-fresh foods. If your lifestyle and work conditions prevent you from having a nutritious diet, then your only hope for better illness-free health is a good dietary supplement.
What are the benefits that you can get from nutritional supplements?
Nutritional supplements are also useful in getting rid of the toxins which we horrendously take in everyday. The environmental stresses we go through, chemicals we are in touch with, as well as our lifestyle - these all subject us to harmful toxins which can lead to serious health problems. Supplements, most especially anti-oxidants, can help our body keep toxins to a minimum.
There are much more benefits that nutritional supplements can provide. The main point is that these supplements help you have the optimum health you deserve and minimize the risk of diseases without any side effects.

Live healthy with Green Leafy Vegetables
Mother was right all along. Grandma also told you they were good for you. So why do Americans eat green leafy vegetables only about once or twice a week? Why are cabbage, broccoli, turnip greens, and spinach rarely seen at the American dinner table? Why is lettuce the only green vegetable that most Americans ever use, when green vegetables are recognized by nutritionists as one of the most inexpensive sources of so many important nutrients?
Leafy vegetables are ideal for weight management as they are typically low in calories. They are useful in reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease since they are low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and rich in folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, as well as containing a host of phytochemicals, such as lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene. One study showed that an increment of one daily serving of green leafy vegetables, lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 11 percent. In the Adventist health study, the frequent consumption of green salads by African-Americans was associated with a substantially lower risk of mortality.
Because of their high magnesium content and low glycemic index, green leafy vegetables are also valuable for persons with type 2 diabetes. An increase of 1 serving/day of green leafy vegetables was associated with a 9 percent lower risk of diabetes. The high level of vitamin K in greens makes them important for the production of osteocalcin, a protein essential for bone health. The risk of hip fracture in middle-aged women was decreased 45% for one or more servings/day of green, leafy vegetables compared to fewer servings.
Green vegetables are also a major source of iron and calcium for any diet. Swiss chard and spinach are not considered good sources of calcium, due to their high content of oxalic acid. Green leafy vegetables are rich in beta-carotene, which can also be converted into vitamin A, and also improve immune function. Millions of children around the world have an increased risk of blindness, and other illnesses because of inadequate dietary vitamin A from green leafy vegetables.
Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids found in dark-green leafy vegetables, are concentrated in the eye lens and macular region of the retina, and play a protective role in the eye. They protect against both cataract and age-related macular degeneration, the major cause of blindness in the elderly. Some studies suggest that lutein and zeaxanthin may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as breast and lung cancer, and may contribute to the prevention of heart disease and stroke.
So have more and more Green Vegetables in your diet....and stay Naturally

Naturon Sugar Guard
Neutralizes the craving for sugar and help balance your blood sugar
Diabetes nutrition is an important part of every diabetic’s treatment plan because a lack of certain vitamins in the diet can negatively affect glucose levels. Those with this illness need key vitamins and minerals in their systems that boost the ability to metabolize foods adequately. High blood sugars, which are the root of this disease, can contribute to an entire host of physical conditions that can eventually lead to death. Heart disease, stroke, infections, eye diseases, and other serious conditions can result from blood sugar that is not broken down appropriately in the blood stream. Because diabetes affects over twenty million people in
