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.

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.
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.
