The other day I was cruising through Yahoo when I came across this interesting article (see below).
Obesity blamed for doubling rate of diabetes cases - Yahoo! News:
"Diabetes was the nation's seventh-leading cause of death in 2006, according to the CDC. More than 23 million Americans have diabetes, and the number is rapidly growing. About 1.6 million new cases were diagnosed among adults last year.
In Type 2 diabetes, cells do not properly use insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar into energy, and the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce it. The illness can cause sugar to build up in the body, leading to complications such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and poor circulation that leads to foot amputations."
Similarly, you may be interested in knowing that many of the so-called "causes" of diabetes are the same causes for putting on belly fat - and, for the most part, it all comes down to our diets and the foods that we are eating.
Fat-causing foods add to your love handles and a host of other illnesses and diseases while, on the other hand, certain fat burning foods will allow you to rapidly lose love handles while vastly improving your health!
Perhaps the old saying "you are what you eat" isn't too far off from reality ... the simple formula is:
Eat Better = Live Better
To your health,
Charlie
