Reset You Health (part two)

When last we spoke on POPPOFF, I told you about Dr. George King M.D. and what he had to share with us on controlling, avoiding, even reversing diabetes.

With facing an epidemic in our country, this sounds almost incredible. But the research has been done at the Joslin Diabetes Center where research is conducted by the world’s most respected and largest group of diabetes researchers.

Dr. King is research Director and chief scientific officer at the Joslin Diabetes Center. He is one of the world’s most sought-after speakers on diabetes and diabetes-related issues. He is on the road roughly half of every year speaking at medical conferences, professional associations, and patient groups.

We were lucky to get him for the POPPOFF Radio Show to help us with this major problem which is reaching epidemic proportions. In his book “The Diabetes Reset,” Dr. King shares eight strategies that are simple yet dramatically life changing!

He told me if we implement just one strategy, your diabetes will improve. Implement all eight, and the body will reset its glucose metabolism.

We covered the first four in my last column including:

  • CUT YOUR FAT INTAKE IN HALF, DOUBLE YOUR FIBER. INCREASE YOUR MUSCLES’ 
  • GLUCOSE-ABSORBING ABILITY THROUGH AEROBIC EXERCISE AND STRENGTH 
  • TRAINING. ACTIVATE YOUR BROWN FAT (WHY NOT ALL FAT IS BAD FOR YOU). 
  • BECOME AN INFLAMMATION FIGHTER.
So let’s tackle the last four strategies to help you overcome this epidemic of Diabetes.
  • REDUCE YOUR BODY FAT BY 5-7%. If your BMI is above 25 and you are able to reduce your weight by 5% to 7%, you will significantly reduce your insulin resistance and markedly improve your glucose metabolism.
  • GET 7 TO 8 HOURS OF HIGH-QUALITY SLEEP EVERY NIGHT. When otherwise healthy young adults were tested after sleeping 4.5 hours a night for two nights…their blood levels were at pre-diabetic levels of health sensitivity. 30% of Americans get less than 6 hours of sleep a night, and 50-70 million have chronic sleep disorders.
  • REDUCE STRESS AND MANAGE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. Men with high stress are 1.36 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, and for women the risk increase is 1.22 times. Understanding, targeting, and managing stress is not a luxury…it is crucial for all aspects of health. 
  • BOOST YOUR OWN NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS. Ingesting foods rich in “phase 2 antioxidants” such as dark green veggies provides a powerful natural trigger for the production of your body’s own antioxidants…which fight inflammation, cellular dysfunction, and pancreatic disease.
It’s not rocket science, and doesn’t take a whole lot to get it done. In addition to clear advice of the how and why of controlling diabetes, “The Diabetes Reset” (available on Amazon.com) explains why preventive care is important for everyone, regardless of current health and family history…including the surprising role of dental care and hygiene in diabetes prevention and important links between gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Dr. King busts the media myths that keep Americans from changing their habits, and outlines a clear twelve-week implementation plan with a tool to track progress. We need to stop making excuses why we can’t change our ways and look to the ways we can for our own good health.

Want to keep all of you as healthy as possible, and the key here, it is possible! Stay well my friends!
