Diabetes is a condition in which the amoun t of glucose (sugar) in theblood is too h igh because the body cannot u se it properly. Normallyinsulin is produced by cells in the pancreas in the right amountsneeded to regulate blood su gar levels.

In Type 2 diabetes, the beta cells that produce insulin may fail torespond adequately to changes in bloo d glucose concentrations after ameal. Type 1, also know n as insulin-dependent diabetes, is a lesscommon disease that results in the complete destruction of insulin-producing cells.

diabetes; say a joint team of scientists from the University of U lster inNorthern I reland and the United Arab Emirates. They discovered that asubstance on the skin o f the South American paradoxical frogs'booststhe production of insulin by 50 % in human. A synthetic version of thecompound - pseudin-2 - could be used to produce new drugs.

Researcher Dr Yasser Abdel-Wahab, who presented his findings at adiabetes conference in Glasgow said: "N ow w e need to put our workinto practice to try to help people w ith type 2 diabetes. M ore researchis needed but there is a grow ing body of w ork around natural anti-diabetic drug d iscovery that is already yielding fascinating results."

Researcher Dr Yasser Abdel-W ahab, (senior lecturer in biomedicalsciences at the University of Ulster) had been a lot of researchintobioactive molecules from amp hibian skin secretions. One recentlydeveloped diabetes drug - exenatide - was developed from a hormonein the saliva of the Gila monster - a lizard found in so uth-westernUnited States and Northern Mexico.

This fleshy fruit may soon become an important weapon in the ongoingquest to fight cancer. A review of research on the fruit's health benefitshas found that fresh sw eet cherries are loaded w ith a compound calledcyanidin, part of a family of antioxidants called anthocyanins.

Together, these compounds help combat the cell-damaging effects of "free radicals" , w hich may lead to the development of cancer and ahost of age-related illnesses.

The research review was completed by researchers Cynthia Thomsonat the Department of Nutritional Sciences and Chieri Kubota at theDepartment of P lant Sciences at the University of Arizon a. Their reviewof the published literature from around the world provides the mostthorough look yet at cherries' healthful characteristics and potentialrole in disease prevention.

There are more than 1000 varieties of Cherries. The edible varietiescan be divided in to sour cherries, such as Morello and s w eet cherries,

A comparison of anthocyanin content provided in the report showedthat one cup of cherries contains approximately 80.2 milligrams o f anthocyanin. Bing cherries, the most popular variety of fresh ch erries,

are especially high in anthocyanin.

Even more significant is that cyanidin accounts for 93 per cent of sw eetcherries' level of anthocyanin, or 75.2 mg per cup. Other fruits possessfar less cyanidin: 6.6 mg for tart cherries, 17 mg blueberries, 35.8 mgraspberries and 1.5 mg red grapes.

Again, when the diet consists of a mixture of cooked and uncooked foods, the uncooked should alw ays be eatenfirst. Also w hen the meal consists of two courses, a sw eet and a savorydish, sufferers from indigestion should try taking the sw eet course

first.Many of these acidic fruit juices are strongly antiseptic and actuallydestroy the germs that cause the teeth to decay. On the other h and,they do not attack the enamel of the teeth, while inorganic acids do .

Medicinal values of Fruits / Vegetables

Apple Apples are good so urce of vitamin C, w hich is an antioxidant andhelps to maintain the immune system. The fresh and uncookedapples are traditionally used to treat constipation w hereas thestew ed apples are used for diarrhea and gastroenteritis.


10/24

Some verities of apples contain large quantity of pho sphorus thanany other fruit or vegetable. Because of this it is aninvaluable nerve and brain nutrient . Sufferers from nerve and b rainexhaustion should eat at least tw o apples at the beginning of eachmeal.

Dried apples are useful fo r athletes as a source of carbohydratethat is quickly converted to energy. By w eight for w eight, driedapples contain six times more calories than fresh apples.

Apples are highly beneficial in the treatment of all types of headaches. A ripe apple, after removing the up per rind and theinner hard portion should be taken w ith a little salt every morningon empty stomach is beneficial in such cases.

Apples are also invaluable to sufferers from the stone or calculusand used in poultices for skin inflammation. Banana The banana is invaluable in inflammation of all kinds. For thisreason it is very useful in cases of typhoid fever, gastritis,peritonitis, etc., and may constitute the only food allowed for atime.

Bananas are excellent food for anemic persons on account of theiron they contain. A very palatable way of taking them is w ith freshorange juice and they contain all the 8 amino acids our bodycannot produce itself. Bananas are a good source of fiber,potassium and vitamin C.

A comparatively old-fashioned remedy, for sprained or bruisedplaces that show a tendency to become inflamed is to apply aplaster of banana skin.

Carrots

Carrots are strongly antiseptic and excellent source o f betacarotene. They are said to be m entally invigorating and nerverestoring. They have the reputation of b eing very indigestible andunlike other vegetables, carrots are more nutritious eaten co okedthan raw. It is because the raw carrots have tough cellular w alls,the body is able to convert less than 25 % of their beta carotene into vitamin A .But when used medicinally it is best to take the fresh,


11/24

raw juice.

Raw carrot juice or a raw carrot eaten fasting, will expel worms.

The cooked carrot is useless for this pu rpose.

A poultice of fresh carrot pulp w ill heal ulcers. Fresh carrot juice isalso good for consumptives on account of the large amount of sugar it contains.

Carrots are very good for g outy subjects and for derangemen ts of the liver.

LemonLemons are excellent source of vitamin C and invaluable in casesof gou t, malaria, rheumatism , and scurvy.

They are also useful in fevers and liver complaints. The juice of one lemon taken in a little hot w ater removes dizzy feelings in thehead. The juice of a lemon in hot w ater may be taken night andmorning w ith advantage by sufferers from rheumatism. It isrecommended that the juice of one lemon mixed w ith an equalproportion of hot w ater, to be taken pretty frequently, in casesof rheumatic fever.

Fresh lemon juice w ill alleviate the pain of cancerous ulceration of the tongue and kills the diphtheria bacillus, and advises a gargle of diluted lemon juice to diphtheria patients. Lemon juice is also anexcellent gargle for sore throat and for nervous palpitation of theheart.

Lemon juice rubbed on to corns w ill eventually do aw ay with them,and if applied to unbroken chilblains w ill affect a cure.

Lemon juice is also an old remedy for the removal of freckles andblackheads from the face. It sho uld be rubb ed in at bedtime, afterwashing with warm water. Traditionally, a drink of lemon juice, hot water and a teaspoon of honey have been used as a remedy for colds and also help toreduce obesity.


12/24

Orange Orange possesses most of the virtues of the lemon , but in amodified form. But it has the advantage of being more palatable.

Oranges are excellent source of vitamin C that helps to makecollagen, which is essential for healthy skin and also helps to keepthe bodys defenses against bacterial infections.

The juice of oranges has been observed to exert such a beneficialinfluence on the blood as to prevent and cure influenza. Takenfreely while the attack is on they seemingly prevent thepneumonia that so often follows. By far the quickest way toovercome influenza is to subsist solely on oranges for three or fourdays. Hot distilled w ater may be taken in addition.

The peel of the bitter Seville orange is an excellent tonic andremedy in cases of malaria and ague.

The orange is used with great success for consumptive patients,for chest affections of all kinds, for asthma, and some stomachcomplaints. Oranges are taken freely at every meal. How ever, some people are allergic to citrus fruits and may developrashes on skin.

Pineapple Pineapple is a useful source of vitamin C and it provide little in thew ay of other vitamins, minerals and enzyme called bromelain w hich breaks dow n proteins. Traditionally fresh pine apple isused to treat a variety of problems. Gargling with the juice isuseful for sore throats and eating pine apple is useful for disorderssuch as catarrh, arthritis, bronchitis and indigestion.

Pineapple juice is the specific for diphtheria. This seems to havebeen first brought to the notice of Europeans by the fact that

Negroes living round about the swamps of Louisiana w ereobserved to use it w ith great success a report says: "The patientshould be forced to sw allow the juice. This fluid is of so pungentand corrosive a nature that it cuts out the diphtheria mucous andcauses it to disappear."


13/24

Sliced pineapples, laid in pure honey for a day or tw o, when u sedin moderation, will relieve the human being from chronic impactionof the bow els, reestablish peristaltic motion, and induce perfectdigestion. This is because fresh pineapple juice has been found toact upon animal food in very much the same w ay that the gastric

juice acts w ithin the stomach. But vegetarians should eat freshfruit at the beginning of meals rather than at the end.

Tinned or cooked pineapple is useless for curative purposes.

Health - Obesity

Obesity is most often defined in terms of body weightrelative to height, since both height and w eight are easilymeasurable. If analyze mo re precisely, ideal body w eightdepends on your h eight, sex, age and type of body build viz.w ith large, medium, or small frames. Though over w eightmay cause due to thyroid problems or ho rmone imbalance,or on an inherited tendency to put on w eight easily, themajor reason for obesity is over eating and lack of exercise.If you eat more calories than you burn off, the surpluscalories are stored as fat. Extra w eight is due to extra eating!

It is surprising to note that if you eat just one extra slice of bread a day above your actual needs and continue this for 5years you w ill add 45 pounds (20.5kg) 90 lbs (41 kg) in 10years and so on to your body.

Obesity can have devastating consequences for health andhappiness. On an emotional level it can lead to a lack of self esteem and depression as you cannot enjoy a real activelife.

Wo men are more prone to obesity than men because theirbodies are more efficient at storing fat. Obesity can alsolower a w omans chances of conception.

The prevalence of obesity increases w ith age, is higher inw omen than men, Obesity increases the likelihood of highblood cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes andtherefore of the diseases for which su ch conditions are riskfactors coronary heart disease , stroke, and kidne y

disease. It also increases the likelihood of gallbladderdisease and cancers of the breast and uterus. Thus, obesityincreases overall mortality rates, and it d oes so inproportion to the degree and duration of overw eight.Ind ividuals wh o become obese at the earliest ages are athighest risk of premature mortality. Distribution of excessfat to the upper body rather than the low er body may alsoincrease risk .

Though the causes of obesity are incompletely understoodthe studies suggest that programs combining diet andexercise help obese individuals lose more w eight andmaintain losses longer than either program does separately.

Alw ays remember that if you eat just one slice of bread less aday against your actual needs and continue this for 5 years youw ill reduce 45 pounds (20.5kg) 90 lbs(41 kg)in 10 years and soon from your body.
