Why would anyone buy something made in China?

With all of the problems with products made in China lately (poisoned cough syrup, deadly pet food, lead-based poisonous painted children’s toys, etc…), why would anyone buy a product without checking the label. Is it time to get smart and start buying from more reputable countries like Canada, the USA, and the European countries?

You want to know somthing, places like Wall-Mart have factorys in China. the women that work there are from the ages of 10 – about 27 and they work 22hr shifts. they arent even allowed to go home because they would be late. they work 7 days a week 22 hrs a day and only get paid about 10 cents an hour. they aren’t allowed to quit because they are on a contract for years at a time. they find women that have collapsed and died of exhaustion. they arent able tho see their familys an some of these girls are 10-16 and go up to27. all they do for 22hrs a day 7 days a week for years at a time is make jeans for Wall-mart. and others make iPods, Cell phones, clothes, toys. and all you can say is why do we even buy the stuff. they even had a movie made they wnt inside the factories and started filming and this is what they found out. basically anything from China is blood money.

mediterranean diet insulin resistance

Does Insulin Resistance Cause Diabetes?

The American Medical Association Journal had a review article which stated that 25% of adults in the US are suffering from the effects of Metabolic Syndrome also known as Syndrome X or Insulin Resistance Syndrome. There is another 25% of the population who are in the process of developing insulin resistance. That adds up to 50% of the adults and 1/3 of the children are either developing or have already developed insulin resistance that will result in Metabolic Syndrome and then most of them will develop Type 2 Diabetes. That is alarming and if this trend is not reversed it will result in a catastrophic healthcare disaster. There is no way that the healthy population can pay for the cost of this healthcare disaster.

Understanding Insulin Resistance

Because of a unhealthy lifestyle, including eating food that is highly process and lacking in any nutritional value, there is an epidemic of individuals developing insulin resistance. This is the metabolic sequence of events that lead to the development of this condition: due to a improper diet an individual becomes less sensitive to their own insulin (insulin insensitivity), the body begins to compensate by producing more insulin, due to the extra insulin the body is able to control the blood sugar levels at this point, as this condition progresses the body will have to continue to produce an even higher abnormal level of insulin, eventually the insulin level will begin to drop as the body is unable to keep up with the demand for more insulin, now your blood sugar level will begin to increase, next this individual will begin to develop diabetes which will develop into Type 2 Diabetes for most of the patients at this point. This individual has now developed full blown Metabolic Syndrome with all of it’s devastating effects including pre-mature death if this condition is not reversed.

The 3 Main Causes of Insulin Resistance:

  1. Poor Diet – eating food that is highly processed and lacking in any nutritional value.
  2. Lack of activity and exercise of any aerobic value – sedentary lifestyle (couch potato).
  3. Little or no nutritional supplements – lack of cellular nutrition from high quality vitamins and supplements.

——————————————–

What are the results of Insulin Resistance – Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X or Insulin Resistance Syndrome? Here are some of them:

  • arteries begin to increase signs of premature aging – arterosclerosis,
  • increase in cholesterol and triglyceride levels,
  • 90% of Type 2 Diabetes caused by Insulin Resistance,
  • Nearly all of non-genetic obesity,
  • blood pressure increases,
  • unable to lose and maintain body weight

———————————————

Is It Possible to Reverse Insulin Resistance?

Dr. Ray Strand, in his book Healthy for Life, explains the Triad for a Healthy Life. I highly recommend that you purchase and read this book. Actually the three things in the Triad are the reverse of the same three things that caused the condition to begin with: 1. Healthy Eating, 2. Modest Aerobic Exercise and 3. High Quality Supplements.

1. Healthy Eating - #1 this is not a diet plan that you do for a short period of time, loss some weight, then slip back into your old habits and regain the weight back plus some. This is a lifestyle change, forming new habits and reaping the results of a healthier body. You will not be hunger on this eating plan even in phase 1 where you completely eliminate the high-glycemic carbohydrates and most of the good carbohydrates as you start reversing the Insulin Resistance. Some have referred to this eating style as the mediterranean diet. By eliminating the bad carbs you are eliminating the main cause of the problem to begin with and also breaking the cycle of what Dr. Strand calls, Carbohydrate Addiction. It is important to note that the main tool that is used to measure what a person should and should not eat is the Glycemic Index. The Glycemic Index measures the rate of how fast blood sugar or glucose levels increase after food containing carbohydrates are consumed.

Note of Caution: from Dr. Strand if you already have Type 2 Diabetes : “If you are diabetic and on medication or insulin, you must be checking your blood sugars at least four times daily during the first few weeks of the program. If your blood sugar begins to drop  and fall into the low blood sugar range (hypoglycemic range), contact your physician immediately so that he can readjust your medication.”

2. Modest Aerobic Exercise - 30 to 45 minutes, 5 times a week. Walking briskly is one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises you can do. It is important to increase you physical activity level to add to the synergistic effect of this program or lifestyle. All three parts of this lifestyle change are important to achieve the maximum results you desire.

3. High Quality Supplements - If you are not taking a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement, you are literally starving yourself nutritionally. By in large the food we eat is lacking and or devoid of the essential nutrient we require to maintain good health and energy. So it is critical for our wellness that we take high quality supplements.

Reversal of Insulin Resistance produces the following results:

  • Avoiding or reversing diabetes,
  • Ability to achieve and  maintain ideal body weight,
  • Blood sugar levels return to normal,
  • Appetite and cravings are easier to control,
  • No more energy highs and lows due to blood sugar spikes and lows,
  • Blood pressure returns to normal,
  • Mental and physical energy are easier to maintain,
  • Energy to maintain the active lifestyle you desire,
  • Overall health will improve – You will look good and feel good,
  • Slowing of the aging process,
  • Reduce or eliminate prescription drugs including insulin supplementation – only under your doctor’s supervision,
  • Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels return to normal,
  • Avoid the devastating effects of Diabetes including pre-mature death

———————————————

Summary:

This has been a brief overview on the subject of Insulin Resistance: what causes it, the effects and results of it, how it can be reversed and the health and wellness that is achievable when it is reversed. It is my goal with this and other articles I write on health issues to give you an idea of the choices you have to further your health and wellness. I urge you to continue your research and take steps to change your life and wellness for the better.

I wish you Health and Wellness,

Austin Real Estate Neighborhood Profiles: Tarrytown

While it may be difficult to choose from all of Austin, Texas communities in order to pinpoint the one that is most prestigious and most historic, few would argue that Tarrytown is definitely a contender. In fact, many residents would argue passionately that there are many things that in fact do make Tarrytown the most esteemed and the most richly storied in the area. Close to Austin’s downtown, Tarrytown is a neighborhood of businesspeople, politicians, artists and professionals. There are not many businesses in this part of Austin, but you’ll certainly find a stunning park and plenty to see and do.

Tarrytown is located between MoPac Boulevard, Lake Austin, Enfield, and 35th street. Exposition Street divides the community. With such a central location, Tarrytown residents are never bored. Nearby Tarrytown Park is just between Westover and Windsor. Reed Park is also close by, a perfect place for reading or just enjoying a beautiful afternoon. Nu Age Cafe in the Tarrytown Shopping Center is an excellent place to enjoy a delicious vegan or vegetarian meal while enjoying the eclectic atmosphere. There are more dining options off Town Lake Boulevard, including Hula Hut, a well-known seafood restaurant, and Mozart’s, which is where Tarrytown residents go for a relaxing coffee and sinful dessert. Late nights, Magnolia Café continues serving your favorite fare long after other eateries have closed for the night. If afternoon snacking is what you crave, Thundercloud Subs are a great place for lunch or a quick sandwich or soup.

For something a little more unusual, you can try The Tarrytown Pharmacy off Exposition street, which hearkens back to a time when the local pharmacy was a general store and a meeting place. Residents of course have easy access to all the great shopping and dining in Austin and a nearby Randall’s offers convenient grocery shopping to visitors.

Tarrytown residents have a long-standing love affair with the nearby lake. Many residents turn to the lake when they want a spot for a nice picnic or a fun afternoon on the water. In addition, many of the older homes are built with water views. One home in the area you will want to visit is Laguna Gloria. This Mediterranean villa was built on a site where Stephen F. Austin himself once planned to build his home. Originally, this stunning building housed the Austin Museum of Art, and special exhibits still are brought out to the lake, even the though the museum itself has moved downtown.

If you are thinking about moving to Tarrytown, the real estate market is all you could wish for. Most of the homes in this neighborhood are large, historic properties. Some luxury apartments are also available. With unique architectural details and beautiful properties, Tarrytown homes are sure to please.
