Fruit And Diabetes – Friend Or Foe?

Hope all is well today! I want to briefly touch upon the topic of fruit. I see many people who are suffering from diabetes avoiding fruit entirely. Usually it’s because they have come to believe that since fruit has sugar and all sugar must be avoided by those who are suffering, this automatically means that fruit is off limits.

 But is this really the case?


The first thing you need to remember about fruit is the fact that fruit itself is packed with nutrients. It’s really like Mother Nature’s medicine. It contains vitamins, minerals, as well as antioxidants, all of which are going to help make you stronger than ever.


It’s a shame to miss out on all this!


Second, fruit also comes packed with fiber. And guess what is a diabetic’s best friend? That’s right – fiber.

 When you eat fiber, it slows the release of glucose down in the blood stream, meaning you won’t get the blood glucose spike that you’d normally get from foods that contain carbohydrates – fruit sugar included.


 So despite the fact that fruit does contain some sugar, the fiber helps to offset the blood glucose spiking effects that that sugar has.


 And to add to this, it’s also important to note that about half the sugar found in fruit is fructose, which is a form of sugar that does not influence blood glucose levels at all. Instead, fructose simply moves into the liver where it is sent for processing.

 So all in all, fruit really does not have the same degree of impact on blood glucose levels likes ay eating a chocolate bar would. Keep this in mind when you are saying no that banana or apple.



And, if you are really that concerned about the sugar content in fruit, just be aware of the lower sugar varieties.



Cranberries, raspberries, and kiwis are the fruits with the lowest overall sugar content, so focus on these over other higher sugar varieties.



If you want to have an effective drink (that has fruits, veggies and fiber) that helps with blood sugar and weight loss, while tasting awesome, try this right here.

Expect to wear a smaller size when the cleanse is complete. Besides detoxifying your body, this program kick starts your metabolism and increases your ability to melt fat and lose weight. In 14 short days, you can lose up to 15 pounds.

A few people who have followed the Red Smoothie Fat cleanser program have lost even more than that. The good news is that almost all, if not all of it, will come from fat and not from muscle. The red fruits and superfoods that go into these smoothies keep your lean tissues nourished while encouraging your body to let go of the fat reserves that are making you uncomfortable and contributing to ill health.

Substantial weight loss isn’t the only benefit you’ll reap, although it might be the one you’re most looking forward to. Cravings will disappear, your energy level will skyrocket, your mind will be clearer, and your overall health is likely to improve. Stick with this cleanse and maintain a red smoothie habit, and you will enjoy positive benefits that last for life.

So, what goes into a red smoothie?

These simple, yet powerful drinks are a combination of red fruits, nutritious leafy greens that contribute lots of micronutrients without changing the fruit’s flavor significantly, and a handful of ancient Incan ingredients and superfoods

that provide some amazing benefits of their own.

We’ll delve deep into the world of red smoothies in future chapters, but for now, let’s focus on the ways these delicious concoctions will help you change your body.

What are Superfoods?

Superfoods are so packed with nutrients that even small amounts can pack a powerful punch. While there are no set criteria for determining what is and isn’t a superfood, experts generally agree that items containing extra-large doses of vitamins, minerals and micronutrients qualify for the moniker.

I would have to write a whole new book to explain the benefits of all the nutrients found in superfoods, but there are a few main components that stand out and deserve special mention.

We’ll start with antioxidants: These nutrients are thought to ward off cancer by fighting free radicals and helping to keep cells in good condition. Next up is fiber, which aids in the prevention of diabetes and a wide range of digestive problems, plus soluble fiber, which helps to sweep arteries clean and keep your heart healthy. Vitamins and minerals support your body’s systems in many ways; without them, your skin, eyes, nerves, and organs would fail. Finally, phytochemicals, which are minuscule components that give plants their rich fragrances and delightful colors also provide

a wide range of health benefits.

Which Red Super Fruits and

Ingredients, and Why?

From cranberries to strawberries to watermelon, red fruits and vegetables pack a powerful punch. Red fruits and veggies are brimming with antioxidants such as anthocyanins and lycopene, helping the body to ward off illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. These vibrant red foods also decrease the risk of macular degeneration and stroke, and they help eliminate the free radicals that contribute to aging.

Here is a quick list of some of the best, most nutritious red super fruits and superfoods you’ll be enjoying during and after this detox, plus some reasons why each one is so fantastic.

 

These Foods are Toxic…And Many Are Making You Fat!

If you are overweight, as so many people are these days,

don’t point a finger at the mirror and assign blame to

yourself. Yes, you’re ultimately the one who is in charge of

what goes into your mouth, but the food industry has been

selling the public a bill of goods that has us convinced that

“diet” foods are good for us when, in fact, they put us into a

toxic state. Did you know that the majority of “diet” foods

that contain fruits and vegetables (think breakfast cereal,

snack bars, puffed, processed veggie snacks, and other

so-called healthy items) often have added sugar or artificial

sweetener in them? In just a moment you’ll learn how

these contribute to toxicity and contribute to obesity.

Toxic foods aren’t poison in the sense that they will kill us

immediately when ingested, but they put our bodies into a

tailspin that leads to out of control eating, leading to obesity

that in turn increases our risk for heart disease and

stroke. If your daily diet is full of junk such as processed

meats, fried foods, and soda (especially the diet kind!)

then you are on the straight and narrow path toward an

unhealthy end.

Luckily, the body often heals itself perfectly when treated

to a pure, clean diet, and when you cut the junk and begin

feeding yourself on a cellular level, your health takes a

near-immediate turn for the better.

Why Red Smoothies

wreen smoothies are everywhere, and don’t get me wrong – they are fantastic! But with many of the green smoothie recipes available, you’re missing out on the power of red super fruits, and in many smoothies from different sources, you’re also missing out on some amazing super foods that provide your body with a real boost while adding incredible, exotic flavors you’ll find irresistible. Note that I have nothing against green smoothies – in fact, I recommend

them to my clients and have written extensivelyabout them! It’s just that when the focus is all on green, there are many nutrients that might not make it into your diet

On Awesome Reasons to Enjoy Red Smoothies

I skimmed a few benefits of red smoothies in the previous chapter, and you might already have some great reasons of your own to add to the ones I listed. Let’s take a closer look.

Detoxification

Your body has its own mechanisms for removing toxins, but overexposure causes a burden, slowing the detoxification process. By drinking red smoothies, you can give your body some help with detoxification, making it much easier

to eliminate the toxins that lead to weight gain and harm your wellbeing. Detoxification helps you live better and happier, and it can also help you live a longer life. How does this work? We’re always breathing air, drinking water and other beverages, and of course, eating our favorite foods. But what happens after the body extracts what it needs from the particles we ingest? Digestion results in even more waste. While this is a natural byproduct of the

digestive process, some waste is almost always left behind, and your toxic load increases. The powerful red super fruits and super foods provide fiber that sweeps your body clean, tones your digestive system, and eliminates built-up toxins along the way.

Excellent Nutrition

The red smoothies that you will be drinking consist of 100-percent raw ingredients, meaning that none of the nutrition has been broken down or altered in any way. These red smoothies are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytonutrients, anti-inflammatory substances, pure water and so much more. They’re also packed with chlorophyll, which is a substance produced by plants, which is similar in structure to the hemoglobin your blood contains.3 In a sense, drinking red smoothies

is a bit like receiving a blood transfusion that completely refreshes your body.

Weight Loss

Did you know that simply losing between one-fifth and one-tenth of your current weight can lead to a whole host of health benefits? Scientific evidence points to a decrease in bad (LDL) cholesterol and an increase in good (HDL) cholesterol, a significant drop in triglycerides, and  a decrease in problems related to high blood pressure. The same amount of weight loss has a positive impact on diabetes, decreases insulin resistance, and improves sleep apnea.

Inflammation that leads to strokes and heart attacks drops with a weight loss of ten percent or higher. A staggering number of Americans are overweight, and

obesity is a problem that compounds other health problems. Even when we have just a few pounds to lose, we reap benefits by shedding the excess weight! If you are hoping to lose weight, you will not be disappointed by your newfound red smoothie habit. These delicious blends are so tasty that they seem like forbidden treats, but their high water content, fiber, and nutritious ingredients let you enjoy them in abundance while staying full, reducing the

cravings that accompany most weight loss plans, and feeling no sense of deprivation.
