MOTIVATION FOR THE DAY
LINGER-LONG-ENOUGH
It’s good to live and work with a sense of urgency. But that doesn’t mean everything must be done in a rush. Life has a certain rhythm and pace. If you attempt to race ahead of the moment, you will miss its richness. Making your efforts faster does not necessarily make them better. Being always anxious about what’s coming next, prevents you from giving your full focus to what’s happening now. Be careful not to reduce your life to just a meaningless blur of activity. Give the things you do the time they deserve, at a pace that’s most effective. Give yourself the time to fully experience each moment. Give others the time to share meaningful conversation, presence and companionship. There’s much more to life than just quickly checking the boxes. Realize the great value of right now, and linger long enough to make all that value yours.

HEALTH TIP OF THE DAY.
DIABETES
A group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood (high blood glucose).
The Most Common types are Type 1, 2 and Gestational Diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose).
Gestational Diabetes is the type that affects females during pregnancy.
The most common diabetes symptoms include frequent urination, intense thirst and hunger, weight gain, unusual weight loss, fatigue, cuts and bruises that do not heal, male sexual dysfunction, numbness and tingling in hands and feet.
Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally in these simple Steps
- Cut the Sugar
The primary culprit of diabesity is sugar. When sugar is metabolized, the body reacts with inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a known cause of illness, including neurodegenerative disease, hypertension, decreased libido, and depression.
- Eat Whole, Unprocessed Foods
It’s really very simple: eat real food.
A variety of vegetables and fruits of different colors – pigments in produce give us antioxidants to reduce inflammation and regulate blood sugar.
Whole grains – oats, millet, buckwheat, barley, rye, etc. Keep inflammatory wheat to a minimum.
Legumes – peas, beans, lentils.
Herbs and spices – whatever you like, as much as you like, for flavor and innumerable health benefits. Herbs detoxify and regulate body systems.
Healthy omega-3 fats – your brain needs fats, as do every other cell in your body for proper function. Eat more avocado; olive, coconut, and sesame oils; nuts and seeds (also a great protein source!), and fish oil.
Lean proteins – organic/grass-fed meats, wild fish, organic free-range eggs, and vegetarian protein.
- Get the Right Nutrients
If you eat what your body needs and cut out what is harmful, it will work toward its natural state of good health.
Important nutrients that regulate blood sugar and improve sugar metabolism include:
omega-3 fatty acids, including ALA (alpha-lipoic acid)
vitamin D3
chromium (8)
dietary fiber
- Get Regular Exercise
You don’t have to spend 3 hours a day at a gym, nor do you have to feel pain to improve your health and get the benefits of exercise and reverse diabesity. A brisk 30-minute walk will work wonders.
The idea is to engage in an activity that increases your heart rate to 70-80% of your heart’s capacity, which depends on your age, weight, and current physical condition. If you’re not used to regular aerobic exercise, work up to optimal heart rate for 60 minutes 5-6 times a week.
- Get Enough Sleep
The importance of adequate, good quality sleep is often under-estimated.
In the context of diabetes, even one night of inadequate sleep causes insulin resistance in healthy people through various metabolic pathways.
Essential oils, white noise, herbal teas, and warm baths are simple and effective ways to improve sleep. Regular exercise helps sleep as well.
