Mainstream medicine’s top weapons against inflammation are glucocorticoid drugs. They include cortisone and prednisone.
These drugs are also called steroids. But they aren’t the kind that give you muscle. Instead, they change your metabolism to tamp down inflammation.
Doctors prescribe them for a wide variety of conditions. They include autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, psoriasis, and eczema.
Avocados have become the darling of the natural health world. For good reason. They’re loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, antioxidants, and potassium.
The avocado is a unique fruit, in that it boosts your body’s absorption of fat-soluble nutrients…including vitamins A, K, D, and E. If you add avocado oil to a salad or salsa, it will actually make the food you’re eating more nutritious.
The number of Americans dying from diabetes is skyrocketing. Diabetes deaths in the U.S. have increased 71% since 1990.[1]
You might be surprised to learn that high blood sugar is not what typically kills diabetics.
Heart attacks take the lives of about 60% of people with diabetes. Strokes kill another 25%.[2]
That’s why a new study is so important.
For decades, scientists have been trying to solve a medical mystery…
Why are people with diabetes prone to getting cancer?
Diabetics are 2 ½ times more likely to get some kinds of cancer. They include breast, kidney, ovarian, and others.[1]
Now, a new study has discovered why.
In research presented at the American Chemical Society, scientists looked at how high blood sugar affects DNA.
If you are a type 2 diabetic, chances are that your doctor has told you to go on a diet. You were likely told to eat less fat and fewer calories.
The idea is that this diet will help you lose weight. And losing weight can cure type 2 diabetes.
But there’s a problem.
The diet usually doesn’t work.
Only 5% of overweight and obese people are able to lose weight on a conventional low-fat, low-calorie diet.
A new study shows there’s a better solution.
A blood sugar test is part of every standard check-up. And if your readings are elevated into a range that classifies you as prediabetic, it’s understandable to be worried.
Diabetes puts you at high risk for heart attack or stroke. And it makes you prone to a slew of other problems such as neuropathy, blindness, and kidney disease.
Prediabetes is rampant in the U.S.
