Blood Sugar Blues

    Blood sugar is the common name for glucose. "Blood sugar blues" describes a continuum associated with too high levels of glucose and insulin. This continuum leads to heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Until now, the words glucose and insulin have been automatically connected to diabetes. If we don’t have the disease, we are likely to think these topics don’t concern us. That is about to change. The great wave of sugar and processed carbohydrates consumed to some degree by most Americans (and many other westerners) has already begun to bowl us over. Heart disease has long been the Number 1 killer of Americans. Now, health authorities predict that diabetes is on its way to becoming the most widespread health problem in the world.

    Excessively high levels of glucose and insulin have become commonplace. Whether or not we are overweight, many of us are living with health problems that are the direct result of blood sugar imbalance. We have had the blood sugar blues and we didn’t even know it.

    The good news is the entire continuum is affected by diet and exercise. By changing your diet and exercise habits for the good, you can reverse the effects of past practices, increase insulin sensitivity, and protect yourself from Syndrome X and diabetes.
