Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
When it comes to living a happy, LONG life, there’s one disease you want to avoid entirely…
Diabetes.
Maintaining a healthy blood sugar is key to making sure you’re here for the long run.
But now researchers have discovered that there’s one disease that can kill you even faster if you’re already suffering from diabetes.
And the clock is ticking…
*****
A new study published in the journal Circulation found that those with heart disease AND diabetes had a HIGHER risk of death within the next five years.
But that’s not all.
The study team found that havingheart failure specifically increases five-year mortality risk by three times!
Not to be outdone, other diseases ALSO uppedthe risk of death when combined with diabetes, including ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
But here’s the strangest thing…
People weren’t necessarily dying from diabetes or those diseases. Having diabetes AND another disease raised the risk of dying from ANY CAUSE!
This just goes to show how much damage diabetes can do to your body.
As I’ve said many times, you want to avoid high blood sugar as best you can. Here’s how you can get started:
- Start with diet. Cut out as much sugar as you can. Yes, this means tossing the soda and sweets into the trash. Instead, base your diet around proteins and vegetables.
- Find easy ways to exercise. Take the stairs, walk to your errands, stand during television commercials… find something fun and stick with it. Exercise is proven to help control blood sugar.
- Weight control. The best way to control diabetes is to maintain a healthy weight. There are many ways to lose weight, but I prefer getting blood sugar under control, dropping inflammation, and giving your metabolism a kick.
- Turmeric. This herb is a natural anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory. It can help reduce insulin resistance, allowing glucose to enter the cells effectively. You can add more turmeric to your diet or get it as a supplement.
- Olive leaf extract. Another powerful herb that keeps blood sugar under control. I’ve been recommending it for years.
