With obesity levels being at an all time high, the epidemic of type 2 diabetes is growing at an alarming rate, and will only get worse Between 2001 and 2002, the diagnosis of diabetes went from 5 5 percent of Americans to an alarming 6 5 percent In just one year! It has continued to increase during the past 10 years at an increasing rate

Overall, twelve million Americans have been diagnosed and another 5 million Americans have diabetes and don t know it And yet another 12 millions are on their way to type 2 diabetes because of impaired glucose levels To reverse diabetes type 2 diet and exercise can benefit millions of suffering individuals battling the illness Not knowing is the worst because risks of untreated diabetes type 1 puts a person at a terrible risk of complications including but not limited to blindness, amputations and ultimately death

The stickler is, that type 2 diabetes is almost completely preventable Doctor say eat less, eat better and exercise The statistics confirm that there is an epidemic of overeating in America Portions of food have significantly increased over the past 30 years so that daily caloric intake has risen dramatically Ultimately, a healthy body weight means control of caloric intake Using organic foods in the right combination is a natural diabetes treatment that can reverse the symptoms

Statistically, people are now living longer, and it has been on the rise for years But this will not continue if type 2 diabetes is not put under control We are a gluttonous society and ultimately it is affecting how we live and how long we live And unfortunately, the diabetes epidemic is not just a US problem It is spreading worldwide with epidemic reports in Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean

It is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics worldwide will rise to 380 million And diabetes is now affecting more of the young and middle aged population in developing countries between the ages of 40 and 59 To reverse diabetes type 2 through healthy eating and living style can be accomplished and is key in reversing this trend

All too often we get sick but ignore the symptoms we may be feeling, shrugging them off to a cold, stress from work, or just not feeling well There are certain symptoms that shouldn t be ignored if they develop These symptoms could lead to blindness, amputation of limbs, coma or even death

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often come on suddenly and are severely dramatic The extra stress of diabetes can lead to something called diabetic ketoacidosis Symptoms of ketoacidosis may include nausea and vomiting, which may also lead to dehydration and serious problems with the blood levels of potassium This could lead to a diabetic coma and ultimately death Other symptoms of diabetes may include extreme fatigue We all get tired at times, but diabetes triggers a more severe fatigue than normal That is why it is essential to follow an appropriate type 2 diabetes diet

People with diabetes also experience unexplained weight loss This is because they are unable to process many of the calories they consume Losing sugar and water in the urine also contributes to the weight loss Extreme thirst is another symptom of diabetes Diabetes develops high blood sugar levels and the body tries to compensate by diluting the blood, which translates to our brain that we are thirsty

With this is also excessive urination It is another way our bodies have of getting rid of the extra sugar in our system But this can also lead to dehydration This is why it is so important to get a healthy diet with an exercise program that can reverse the effects of these symptoms

One of the hardest symptoms to deal with is poor wound healing Wounds heal slowly, if at all when the carrier has diabetes This along with infections that are not easily remedied can attribute to ulcers and loss of limbs This is a very cruel aspect of severe diabetes A type 2 diabetes diet can reverse diabetes with a consistent program of healthy diet with the right foods and increased exercise to help lose weight

I have been interested in the possibilities of reversing type 2 diabetes naturally and have learned so much from professional sources. I can apply the techniques I have learned into real life situations.

Healthy diets are considered effective to lower cholesterol A low cholesterol diet contains extremely low or no cholesterol at all Healthy diets are rich in fruits and vegetables, beans, whole grains, seafood, poultry and low fat dairy products, as well as some oils, nuts, and unsaturated fats Organic eating should be high in fibre but low in fat Eating food high in fibre is one of the most important and useful decisions anyone can make towards healthy living

Organic eating helps in minimizing artificial trans fats in the body and enhancing the levels of un saturated fats These un saturated fats are found in vegetable oils, seeds, avocados, nuts, fish etc A healthy diet is one that becomes a new way of eating, so the weight you do lose can stay off permanently A recent scientific study on choosing a diet suggested that; as long as you choose a healthy and well balanced diet, the actual mix of protein, carbs, and fats is not that important A healthy diet is important which means eating good food Fruits and vegetables should be a larger part of your daily diet; fried food items should be reduced

Green eating is ageless and the message to older people must be that the quality of your nutrition is basic to the quality of your life And while the evidence of the value of nutritional balance is clear, the nutritional status of many older individuals lacks that balance and the problem is often complicated by a fear of foods and over emphasis on single nutrient issues Healthy nutrition is essential for a healthy pregnancy outcome for both mother and baby During pregnancy, a woman needs an adequate intake of protein, calcium, iron and folic acid and about 300 extra calories per day in the second and third trimesters Organic eating is also vital for children's well being, as well as adults Research has shown that many health problems, particularly heart disease, some forms of cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and others are to a great degree caused by diet
