How Do You Want To Treat Diabetes! Read This Article To Find Some Ways To Understand What Diabetes Is About!

One of the most undemanding and the most workable ways to knock over blood sugar amount, eliminate the dangers of “cardiovascular disease,” and perk up health and welfare in general is exercise.

In spite of that, in today’s inactive world where almost every indispensable job can be carried out online, from the ergonomic chair in front of a computer, or with a streaming line of messages from a fax machine, exercising can be a hard argument to win over.

The Weight of Exercise

Everyone should exercise, yet the health experts tells us that only 30% of the United States population gets the recommended thirty minutes of daily physical activity, and 25% are not active at all. In fact, inactivity is thought to be one of the key reasons for the surge of type 2 diabetes in the U.S., because inactivity and obesity promote insulin resistance.

The good news is that it is never too late to get moving, and exercise is one of the easiest ways to start controlling your diabetes. For people with type 2 diabetes in particular, exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, lower the risk of heart disease, and promote weight loss.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is on the rise. The number of people diagnosed with diabetes every year increased by 48% between 1980 and 1994. Nearly all the new cases are Type 2 Diabetes, or adult-onset, the kind that moves in around middle age. Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes include increased thirst, appetite, and need to urinate; feeling tired, edgy, or sick to the stomach; blurred vision; tingling or loss of feeling in the hands.

The causes of type 2 diabetes are complex and not completely understood, although research is uncovering new clues at a rapid pace.

However, it has already been proven that one of the reasons for the boom in type 2 diabetes is the widening of waistbands and the trend toward a more deskbound and inactive lifestyle in the United States and other developed countries. In America, the shift has been striking; in the 1990s alone, obesity increased by 61% and diagnosed diabetes by 49%.

For this reason, health experts encourage those who already have type 2 diabetes to start employing the wonders that exercise can do for them. Without exercise, people have the tendency to become obese. Once they are obese, they have bigger chances of accumulating type 2 diabetes.

Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that over 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are clinically overweight. Therefore, it is high time that people, whether inflicted with type 2 diabetes or not, should start doing those jumping and stretching activities.

Getting Started

The first order of business with any exercise plan, especially if you are a “dyed-in-the-wool” sluggish, is to consult with your health care provider. If you have cardiac risk factors, the health care provider may want to perform a stress test to establish a safe level of exercise for you.

Certain diabetic complications will also dictate what type of exercise program you can take on. Activities like weightlifting, jogging, or high-impact aerobics can possibly pose a risk for people with diabetic retinopathy due to the risk for further blood vessel damage and possible retinal detachment.

If you are already active in sports or work out regularly, it will still benefit you to discuss your regular routine with your doctor. If you are taking insulin, you may need to take special precautions to prevent hypoglycemia during your workout.

Start Slow

For those who have type 2 diabetes, your exercise routine can be as simple as a brisk nightly neighborhood walk. If you have not been very active before now, start slowly and work your way up. Walk the dog or get out in the yard and rake. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park in the back of the lot and walk. Every little bit does work, in fact, it really helps a lot.

As little as 15 to 30 minutes of daily, heart-pumping exercise can make a big difference in your blood glucose control and your risk of developing diabetic complications. One of the easiest and least expensive ways of getting moving is to start a walking program. All you need is a good pair of well-fitting, supportive shoes and a direction to head in.

Indeed, you do not have to waste too many expenses on costly “health club memberships,” or the most up-to-date health device to start pumping those fats out. What you need is the willingness and the determination to start exercising to a healthier, type 2 diabetes-free life.

The results would be the sweetest rewards from the effort that you have exerted.

Great Article By My favorite Author Shereen Jetvig. Shereen has a master's degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut and she was previously credentialed as a Certified Nutrition Specialist.

I think this article is very well written and discusses the fundamentals on how children are lacking nutritious meals at schools.  She gives great advice on packing children meals and I agree that using Metal or plastic lunch boxes is a step ahead of using brown paper bags when considering beverages like soup to be packed with the children's lunch.  She goes on to sell the meat products, diary products and eggs are perishable and should be packed with a freeze pack to keep this items cold. I myself eat alot of fruits and vegetables and fruit is an excellent idea to give a child when packing a lunch. Apples, oranges, plums, nectarines and bananas are a great addition to a tuna fish, turkey or chicken sandwich.

Thanks again to Sherren For Writing an Excellent Article;

Talk to you soon,

Healthy Sack Lunch TipsBy Shereen Jegtvig

Packing a sack lunch is one way to ensure that your child will have a nutritious mid-day meal, and maybe even a healthy snack or two. The right lunch bag and accessories will allow you to pack a variety of healthy foods. Lunch Bag TechBrown paper bags may be convenient and inexpensive, but they rip easily and don't help keep cold foods cold or hot foods hot. They're fine for a peanut butter sandwich and an apple, but not for much else. Metal or plastic lunch boxes with insulated beverage containers are one step up from the brown bag because they are sturdier. Your child can take a hot or cold beverage with his lunch, but it is still difficult to control the temperature of the foods -- so food choices are still limited.

Insulated lunch bags are the best choice for school lunches. Some insulated lunch bags are equipped with freezer packs; you can also buy freezer packs separately. There are bags with two or more compartments, so foods and beverages can be kept separate. Insulated lunch bags can be very fashionable as well. Some look more like a trendy purse or tote bag, and there are plenty of novelty bags to please any boy or girl.

The insulated bag and freezer packs will keep your child's lunch cold and, therefore, safe and fresh. Of course, your child may get tired of cold foods every day, so you also need insulated food jars for hot foods. Pick up a few plastic containers in smaller sizes and sandwich bags, too, and you'll be prepared to offer your child a variety of hot and cold healthy foods.

Healthy Lunch Bag Ideas Sandwiches are a popular choice for a school lunch. Remember that meats, dairy products, and eggs are perishable, so be sure to use a freezer pack to keep them cold. Choose whole grain bread, wraps, or pitas. If your child resists whole grain breads, use bread that is made with some whole grain but still has the flavor and texture of white bread. Each sandwich should have a healthy protein source and healthy toppings. Some suggestions:

• Tuna sandwich wrap with light mayonnaise, lettuce and tomatoes
• Egg salad sandwich on whole grain bread
• Peanut butter, cashew, or almond butter with a 100 percent fruit spread on whole grain bread (a healthier PB&J)
• Sliced turkey, lean roast beef, or chicken from the deli--or left over from last night's dinner--with light mayonnaise, mustard, and a slice of cheese

What should you send along with the sandwich? A piece of fresh fruit is healthy but can get a bit boring after a while. Skip the greasy chips and choose from these healthier ideas, just remember to keep perishables cold:

• Send a salad in a small plastic container. Keep the dressing on the side in a separate smaller container.
• Cheese sticks go well with sandwiches and are a good source of calcium.
• Whole grain snack crackers add a nice crunch and lots of healthy fiber.
• Make a fruit salad with grapes, melons chunks, and blueberries.
• Dried fruit, like raisins, dried cranberries or banana chips
• Nuts like almonds, cashews, or walnuts
• Pack a cold pasta salad, cole slaw, or potato salad.
• Baby carrots with a small container of vegetable dip
• Crunchy raw green beans with a small container of ranch or french onion dip
• Prepackaged, flavored low-fat yogurt

Think Beyond the SandwichWith insulated food jars, you can send hot foods to school, too, like leftovers from that delicious meal you made last night. Make sure the foods are heated up to at least 140 degrees before you load them into the insulated jars. Here are some hot food ideas:

• Beef and vegetable stew with a hard roll
• Chicken noodle soup and whole grain crackers
• Lasagna with a salad and bread
• Chicken casserole with carrots and vegetable dip.
• Chili with whole grain crackers or bread
• Left over stir-fry or sautéed vegetables

With the right lunch gear, your child can enjoy a delicious and healthy lunch every day. Add a small cookie or tiny piece of candy for dessert along with juice, milk, or water for a complete healthy and fun meal. Source: "Keeping Bag Lunches Safe."

Dear Martial Arts Community,

This is to inform you that Larry Hartsell
passed away on Monday, August 20, 2007.

Thank you for all your love and prayers and support.

Reject what is useless
Research your own experience
Add what is specifically your own
"Bruce Lee"

LARRY HARTSELL took these words to heart when he began training with Bruce Lee in 1967, and the grappling skills and techniques that are at the core of the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association are the by-product of this philosophy.

Hartsell came into Bruce Lee's school as a man with a black belt in Judo and over 10 years of experience in grappling as well as a strong foundation in the striking arts that began in 1961 with his training in Kenpo Karate under Edmond Parker, Sr. Shortly after receiving his black belt rank from Parker. Hartsell spent time in the Army including combat in Vietnam, where he served with the elite military police. Hartsell, already an accomplished Judo man, Larry enjoyed sparring with soldiers from the elite South Korean ROK division stationed nearby. Upon his return to this country he enrolled in Bruce Lee's Chinatown school in Los Angeles. It was at this school that Hartsell began his thirty five years of training under Guro Dan Inosanto, which he continues to this day. Hartsell's training under Bruce Lee continued with Private instruction at Bruce Lee's home in Bel Air, California.

It is well known to the students of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee broke combat down into the four ranges of Kicking, Boxing, Trapping and Grappling. The serious students of Jeet Kune Do are also aware that the development of the grappling range techniques in this system were assigned to Larry Hartsell. At the time of Bruce Lee's untimely death there were only 33 formal techniques in the grappling range. As the final and closest range there was much research to do in this range and Hartsell has continued his research into this area with various discrete techniques that now form the core of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Grappling.

Larry Hartsell's skill in hand-to-hand combat, his weapons training and his development of techniques in the grappling range led to a wide and varied range of professional experiences. With his training under Bruce Lee, his degree in criminology, his ten years of law enforcement experience, and his training under Dan Inosanto. Hartsell has been in wide demand as a professional bodyguard for celebrities like Mr. T of the A-Team fame, and as a trainer for both the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to this he has taught classes at his own schools as well as at the Inosanto Academy, and has offered self defense and combat courses for the elite Navy Seals and police officers through various colleges, agencies and elite law enforcement training programs.

Hartsell has authorized several books on the subject of Jeet Kune Do Grappling. "Entering to Trapping To Grappling and Takedowns, Counters, and Reversals." In addition he has seven internationally distribute videotapes on the grappling and combative arts. These books, videotapes and his skill in the grappling arts have resulted in Hartsell being listed in the "Who's Who in Martial Arts" and cover shots with numerous feature articles in Inside Kung Fu, Black Belt, Martial Arts Training, Inside Karate, Australian Fighting Arts, and many others.

Hartsell is the man Dan Inosanto described as "One of the premier Jeet Kune Do fighters of our time." Currently Hartsell has focused his efforts on the development of the Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association. With the tremendous rise in the popularity of the grappling arts it has become paramount to Hartsell to demonstrate to martial artists the fact that Jeet Kune Do has had a strong emphasis on the grappling range. Hartsell over the past thirty years has produced an extensive development of the grappling arts. The Jeet Kune Do Grappling Association currently has 22 United States and 17 International Representatives Worldwide. Hartsell continues to offer seminars through his members schools as well as through five international tours yearly. Additionally, he offers private intensive training programs to a number of students Worldwide in Marina del Rey, California.

Very interesting article by Shereen Jegtvig: 

She says Fruit Juice is good as long as it is it's 100% fruit juice. I notice when I go shopping most of the Fruit Juice is 25-30 grams of sugar. This can be compared to any Coke or Pepsi Product. So that is why I avoid Fruit Juices unless it is 100% Fruit Juice.  I think the best fruit you can buy that has the most anti-oxidants are blueberries and  strawberries. I think I will try buying some Kiwi this week. So my advice today is to eat one or more serving of fruits and vegetables today. Like the article says, Whole fruit makes you fuller because it has more fiber and satisfies your hunger longer. This is what I do eat more apples and oranges because they have more fiber.

The old saying is true: An Apple A Day, Keeps the Doctor Away...

Question: Should I avoid fruit juice?

I've heard that fruits are good for you, but fruit juice is bad. Do I need to avoid fruit juice altogether, or is a little bit okay?

Answer: Fruit juice isn't bad for you -- it actually can be very nutritious -- but you do need to keep track of the calories in the juice, and be sure to keep your overall calorie intake at a healthy level. Most people do not consume enough fruits and vegetables, so drinking fruit juice as a beverage will add a serving or two of fruit to your daily total.

That is, as long as it's 100% fruit juice.

Fruit drinks that contain very little fruit juice and lots of added sugars don't count as a serving of fruit. Fruit Juice Verses Whole FruitFruit juice contains the same nutrients that are found in whole fruit, but doesn't have the fiber

The fiber in the fruit may help to fill you up and keep you feeling full longer, while drinking juice won't have that same effect. So that makes it easier to take in more calories without realizing what you're doing. Fruit Juice Serving SizeOne serving of fruit juice is usually about six ounces or 3/4 of one cup of juice. Most of us need one to two cups of fruit or fruit juice every day (along with about two to three cups of vegetables).

You can have a serving or two of fruit juice every day, but be sure to eat some whole fruit too, so you get more fiber. Shopping for Fruit JuiceFruit juice is available at your local grocery store. There will be several varieties, and they'll be available in large bottles and single serving containers. The large containers or more economical; however, single serving packages are convenient and are good for brown bag lunches. When you shop for fruit juice, be sure to look for the words 100% fruit juice on the label.

You should also look at the ingredients list, which is especially important if you're buying juices such as pomegranate, acai or other exotic fruit juices -- they're frequently blended with apple or grape juice to cut costs.
