			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although research is still preliminary, doctors and researchers are getting excited about the diabetes and cholesterol-fighting potential of cinnamon.</p>
<p>Cinnamon probably “can’t harm in small doses, it may help and it’s not adding calories,” said Melinda Maryniuk, a senior dietician at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.</p>
<p>A small study completed last year on the possible health benefits of cinnamon was “very exciting and promising,” according to Dr. Andrew Greenberg, director of the obesity metabolism laboratory at Tufts University, who is so intrigued he has begun studying it himself.</p>
<p>The 40-day study, of 60 people in Pakistan with Type 2 diabetes, found that one gram a day of cinnamon — one-fourth of a teaspoon twice daily — significantly lowered the subjects’ blood sugar, triglycerides (fatty acids in the blood), LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, and total cholesterol.</p>
<p>For diabetics, cinnamon “does much the same thing as insulin” biochemically, said Don Graves, an adjunct professor of biochemistry at the University of California in Santa Barbara who has studied how cinnamon works in the body.</p>
<p>In Type 2 diabetes, the problem is that insulin no longer does a good job of escorting sugar into cells, said Anderson of the USDA. Cinnamon “makes cells more sensitive to the insulin that is available,” he said.</p>
<p>An active ingredient in cinnamon, proanthocyanidin, worms its way inside cells, where it activates the insulin receptor. Once this receptor is activated, whether by insulin or cinnamon, chemical reactions occur allowing the cell to use energy from sugar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First let’s clear up the definition of the word “diet”… it’s actually become a “dirty little word” in our language today… “I hate diets”, “you never stick to your diet”, “Do I have to go on another diet?”…</p>
<p>The word “DIET” comes from an ancient Greet word which means, “way of life”!</p>
<p>“NO!”, you say! It can’t be… but “yes”… it’s a way of life… not a temporary thing that you should hate doing!</p>
<p>We have so destroyed the true meaning of the word… and turned it into another one of those “four-letter dirty words” that we hate for anyone to say or suggest to us…</p>
<p>So I hate to tell you this… but you’re just going to have to DIET!!!!! (smile) because it’s the food you eat as a way of life… obviously if it means “way of life” … it doesn’t mean “way of death”… eating dead non-food items is not a “way of life”! Eating non-food items contributes to inflammation and then to ill health. Simple.</p>
<p>You want to beat disease? You want to beat old age? Then you’re going to have to change your “way of life” (diet)… no other way…</p>
<p>Let us help you find exactly what you need to do to enhance and repair YOUR “way of life”…</p>

		<title>HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS? How can it indicate vitamin needs…</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This question is by far the most asked… how in the world can hair tell us what vitamins we need if vitamins aren’t found in the hair? Here’s the deal… vitamins and minerals are closely related (kinda like you and your kids)… Zinc needs B6 in order to metabolize properly… so if you are low in zinc then we know you need B6… Copper relates to vitamin C requirements and vitamin C is known to aid iron absorption. If zinc is low then vitamin A’s job is greatly impaired… you get the idea…</p>
<p>So by looking at minerals that ARE found in the hair we can see exactly what vitamins are needed!</p>
<p>Also… comparing this to a blood test… well… there is no real comparison… you see, in hair there is no daily fluctuations like there is in the blood… if you eat bananas before having a blood test taken, your blood potassium level may be high that day. Not so in the hair! So it gives us a much more stable picture of what is actually being UTILIZED!</p>
<p>Quite guessing and taking vitamins based on the latest “article” you read or what your best friend says works for them… get tested properly and ensure you are taking the supplements based on YOUR body’s chemistry, not someone elses!</p>
