Weight gain? Memory lapse? Mood swings? Fatigue? If your answers are yes, yes, yes and yes--this book is for you.
High blood sugar (insulin and overweight issues) can and do cause all kinds of problems:
_ Type II diabetes
_ Heart disease and stroke
_ Cancer
_ Depression
_ Weight gain
_ Infertility and birth defects
_ Cancer
_ Vision problems and blindness
_ Nerve damage and amputation
_ Dementia and Alzheimer disease
The book also contains the Glycemic Index for optimal blood sugar control.
The wisdom in The Sugar Solution is easy to understand and put into everyday use. If more of us understood the importance of controlling our blood sugar--and that of our children and grandchildren, just think about how many health problems we could possibly eliminate.
The book is broken into eight parts and covers what we need to know--must know--to be a healthier person, family and country.
We are a combination of our heritage, lifestyle, food/liquid intake and stress level. This book can be your owner's manual.
Remember, blood sugar is not bad. It is your body's best friend: fuel for muscles and brain cell and gives you energy. The "bad" happens when we allow our blood sugar to get out of control.
If you have never read anything about blood sugar and insulin before, this is very important information that often our doctors don't have the time for explain.
Prevention Books provide trust-worthy information that empowers people to make intelligent decisions about their health so that you can live a longer, more vital life.
Sugar cravings, salt cravings? Give in, in moderation and satisfy the craving. The weight-loss strategies for eating at home and in restaurants will be helpful as well.
Armchair Interviews says: If you want to be more mentally aware, lose weight and have increased energy, read and follow The Sugar Solutions.
