blood glucose

The early signs of Type 2 diabetes can be detected more than 20 years before a person receives a diagnosis, a new study shows. This is great news because it means the disease can be stopped in its tracks before it has a chance to wreak havoc on the body. [1]
Researchers said that they were able to detect increased fasting glucose, higher body mass index (BMI), and impaired insulin sensitivity up to 10 years before a diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.
Lead author Dr. Hiroyuki Sagesaka said:

When it’s times to eat, people with diabetes look to the glycemic index (GI) to tell them how a certain food will impact their blood glucose. However, new research suggests the GI may not be as reliable as previously thought.

In the ancient science of Ayurveda, doctors often prescribe Indian Gooseberry, also known as Amla, or Amalaki (scientific name Phyllanthus emblica). The rejuvenating fruit has many uses; among them, the powerful fruit, full of B and C vitamins as well several other exceptional phytonutrients, helps to decrease blood glucose levels in diabetics and lower cholesterol.

Many women suffer unnecessarily painful periods each month, often requiring pharmaceutical medication to get by. Unfortunately, drugs such as NSAIDs can have harmful side effects, particularly if a high dosage is required. On the other hand, new research shows that cinnamon is an effective treatment for painful periods, otherwise known as dysmenorrhoea.
