We just posted about controlling blood sugar with diabetes friendly recipes. Some people even claim that the right diet cures metabolic problems, and while we do not go that far, we do believe that the correct diet can help some people to live without symptoms, and it can help many more people to feel healthy.
Chicken Soup
Beyond diabetes, other food can really cure. Your grandmother was right about chicken soup of course. The hot liquid helps clear mucus and lets you breath better. But beyond that cysteine, an amino acid that’s released by cooked chicken. It’s chemically similar to a bronchitis drug, acetylcysteine, and it works with other soup ingredients to reduce inflammation. Salty broth also helps thin mucus. Â
Hot Tea
Not only is the hot liquid and vapor of hot tea soothing, anti-oxidants help reduce inflammation and fight viruses.
Spicy and Pungent Foods
Garlic and onions can help your body resist infection. And of course, anybody who has eaten peppers and felt their nose run, knows that they are a powerful decongestent. Ginger can help sooth nausea.
It is not easy to control your blood sugar by eating a healthy diet for diabetics, and you may need epert help. A good diet is essential, but common sense may not always prevail. Prevention magazine is well known for publishing natural health tips and tasty recipes. Now they have published a diabetes cookbook and they also include a free gift of diabetes tips!
Sleep disorders seem to be more common as people age. Even though we intuitively know that our good health and emotional well being depend upon getting enough rest, that is one disorder we may not get treated for. So just when people age, and become more vulnerable, they also are more likely to suffer sleep disorders. A Gallup pole found that 80 precent of senior citizens knew that sleep was essential to their good help. But the disturbing fact was that 53 percent of those people said that they reported sleep problems to their doctors and did not get any treatment!
Sleep Disorders And Health
Of course, if you do have a serious sleep disorder you should consult with a doctor. If the first doctor does not take your complaint seriously, then find another doctor who will listen. Healthy sleep is a wonderful asset to your emotional well being, ability to heal, and all around health!
