Chromium: An
essential mineral for Diabetes and Weight Loss..
f you're overweight and worried about diabetes as a health
risk, you may be surprised to learn that a common nutrient can
help both.
This is where chromium shines. It is an essential trace
mineral that has been shown to decrease elevated glucose levels
and also enhance the action of insulin. In one study, 78 diabetic
patients received either a chromium supplement or brewer's yeast,
a rich source of natural chromium.
The results were very encouraging and resulted in several
patients having to lower anti-diabetic drugs because for both
groups, blood glucose levels decreased. Others were even
able to stop taking insulin.
In another study, researchers tested 29 overweight adults with
a family history of diabetes. At the end of 4 months, the
group given a daily dose of chromium picolinate reduced insulin
resistance by a remarkable 40% compared to the placebo group.
The good news doesn't stop there. Chromium also provides
additional benefits for weight loss. Because chromium increases
insulin sensitivity, carbohydrate metabolism also improves. This
means that glucose can be used as an energy source instead of
being stored as fat.
While chromium is found in foods such as meat, whole grains,
and cheese only about 3% of our intake is absorbed into body
tissue. It is believed that at least 90% of us are deficient in
this mineral.
To correct this deficiency, a supplemental dose of 50 to 100
mcg daily is recommended. Individuals trying to reduce
insulin resistance will need to take a higher dose and should be
followed by their health care provider..

How To Recognize A Stroke:
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3"
steps, STR.
Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult
to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells
disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage
when people
nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a
stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a
stroke by
asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK, to SPEAK A
SIMPLE
SENTENCE (Coherently: It is sunny out
today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is
this: Ask the person to
'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is
'crooked', if it goes
to one side or the other that is also an
indication of a stroke}
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these
tasks, call for
an ambulance immediately and describe the
symptoms to the
dispatcher. |
