Part 2/2 Worried about Type II Diabetes. Learn how fiber can help you?

How can we be free from diabetes medication?

The key to diabetes prevention lies with a person's daily lifestyle. It is very important to eat a balance diet, exercise and maintain a healthy body weight.

What are the excellent foods for Diabetics?
1) Consume sufficient amount of fiber - Psyllium husk and Wheat Bran

Calorie free fiber is found only in plant food sources. Regular consumption of fiber aids in digestion and can help the removal of toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. Fiber is a natural food processor - increasing the body's ability to absorb useful nutrients while encouraging the motility and viscosity of gastrointestinal contents during digestion.

Psyllium husk and wheat bran among the most fiber rich plant foods. Increase intake of these plant food can help decrease cholesterol levels as well as regulate blood glucose levels. A study revealed that type 2 diabetics who were given 5.1g of psyllium husk for 8 weeks saw a significant improvement in their glycemic and lipid values. There was also a marked decrease in their serum total and LDL cholesterol concentrations.

2) Soy

Soy has a low glycemic index, which means that when digested, it stabilizes blood glucose levels. In addition soy is also a good source of soluble fiber. Soy is easily broken down in the body and is gentler on the digestive system. One complication that arises from diabetes is kidney disease. Over 20% of diabetics develop impaired kidney function that can cause kidney failure. Thus, diabetics must exercise caution when consuming animal protein as high levels may harm the kidneys. Studies have shown that soy protein is significantly better at aiding renal function than animal protein. Besides kidney disease, diabetics often have an increased risk of heart disease and arteriosclerosis. In fact, cardiovascular disease occurs 2-4 times more frequently with diabetics than in the general population. Research indicates that linolenic acid - an essential unsaturated fatty acid found in soybeans - may help to lower the cholesterol levels, reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis, decrease the fat deposition in arterial walls and thus lower the risk of acquiring coronary heart disease.

3) Bitter Gourd

Bitter gourd is known for its ability to lower blood glucose level. It has antidiabetic benefits and contains compounds like polypeptide-P, charatin and vicine which improved blood sugar levels.

4) Ginseng Berry


Researchers at the University of Chicago recently reported that ginseng berry extract holds promise for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. The nutrient rich ginseng berry contains Ginsenoside Re, a substance that can contribute to the creation of a new class of anti-diabetic medications.

5) Grape seed


Diabetic retinopathy a disease that can lead to blindness is a potential complication arising from diabetes. Diabetes affects the circulatory system of the retina by weakening the arteries in the eye and causing them to leak. The leaky vessels encourage swelling and edema in the retina, thus affecting vision. Statistics have indicated that at least 12 % of diabetics who suffer from diabetes for more than 30 years have lost their sight through diabetic retinopathy. However, researchers have noted that diabetics can effectively treat and prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy through good nutrition. High on the list of nutritious foods is grape seed extract. Grape seed extract contains a very strong antioxidant called Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin (OPC). This antioxidant is reported to be 20x more powerful than vitamin C and 50x stronger than vitamin E. OPC strengthens capillaries, arteries and veins thus improving blood circulation. In a recent study, 30 diabetics were given 50mg of OPC 3x daily for 2 months while 10 were given placebo pills. The group that received OPC showed improved diabetic retinopathy while the group that received the placebo showed worsened retinopathy. Thus, OPC has proven to be valuable source of nutrition to promote health among diabetics.

5) Acelora Cherries & Blueberries

People who have diabetics have lowered immunity so their ability to fight against diseases and infections is weak. They need high phytochemicals wholesome plants to help fight against free radical damage and to nourish the body immune system.

How can you prevent your children against HFMD and scarlet fever?

It was a Sunday evening, my three children and a neighbor daughter went to Pasir Ris Park to play. They played in the park for almost 2 hours. There were also other children that were playing together and I saw some children coughing and having runny nose. Being a mom, I started to ask my 3 children and neighbor daughter to play somewhere else.

At night, I received a sms from my neighbor telling me that her daughter had high fever at 39 degree and had rashes. She told me to watch out for any symptoms from my children. She brought her daughter to doctor and had confirmation that it was scarlet fever. She was given a course of 10 days antibiotic. 

Scarlet fever  is an infectious disease which most commonly affects children. Signs and symptoms include sore throat, fever, and a characteristic red rash. Scarlet fever is usually spread by inhalation. There is no vaccine, but the disease is effectively treated with antibiotics. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_fever)

All my three children were fine the night and went to school the next day. In my mind their strong immune system plays a important role to keep them healthy. They have been taking Nutritional Immunology food daily. They have been taking daily superfood that contain cactus, cactus fruit, ginseng berry, grape seed, rose and seaweed.

Before having kids, Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD) and scarlet fever sound foreign to me. But as parents we became aware of HFMD and scarlet fever after sending our child to playgroup or childcare center. 

As HFMD is caused by virus , which is the same as cold and flu, there is no medicine other than relying on your own immune system to fight against virus. As a parent, I have chooses wholesome plant food to fight diseases and to strengthen their immunity.

There are a few options to choose to strengthened immune system:-

1) Nutritional Immunology food

2) Basic food what we eat daily (increase fruits and vegetable intake)

3)Vitamins and mineral supplements

4) Medication, including TCM

Which one is the best for the immune system? 

Do contact me if you would like to know on how to prevent HFMD and scarlet fever effectively.
