Don't be afraid of good fats. Always include a
serving of "good" fat at each meal. Good sources of fat can help balance blood
sugar, control appetite, and provide essential fatty acids that are needed to
help keep your hormones balanced. Some of the best sources of good fats include
raw nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and
sunflower seeds, as well as olives, olive oil, salmon and fish oil, and
avocados. Use monounsaturated fats as your main source of fat and use saturated
fats sparingly.

Can
or Can't
The word that could
determine the success in your life has only three
letters- it is CAN. The word can is one of the most
powerful words in the English language. In fact, as
you may know, we've developed the "I Can't" course
to accentuate the power of believing in our ability
the reach desired goals.
The addition of the
letter t to the word can means the difference
between success and failure. Significant
achievements have been made in spite of the word
can't. We are glad that men like Edison and Wright
brothers didn't accept the word can't. Try to
substitute the word can for can't and see the change
of performance in life.

Yoga for Diabetics
Diabetes means that the body does not produce or
use insulin properly. Many studies have reported the beneficial effect of the
practice of yoga on diabetes. Some studies have mentioned up to 65 percent
beneficial effect of yogic therapy for diabetes.
Studies have confirmed that the practice of the
yogic postures can rejuvenate the insulin producing cells in the pancreas of
diabetics of both types, and that doing the postures in a relaxed manner,
without exertion, yogic meditation and breathing help most patients to control
the causes of diabetes.

The patient must learn to control and his or
her self of diabetes in a holistic manner, at all levels of your being:
physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual, recognizing the
effects of stress, emotional imbalance, and dietary and living habits on the
disease condition.
-
Before beginning a program, measure your
exercise toleration. Start with simple movements and positions before
progressing gradually to complicated postures.
-
Throughout the program, monitor glucose levels
and under the supervision of a physician, and take appropriate medicinal
dosages as and when required. After several weeks one may be able to reduce
the dosages.
-
Practice in the morning and the evening for 40
to 60 minutes the recommended series of postures according to ones capacity.
Practice before meals, but after consuming glucid liquids.
-
Perform the movements slowly and smoothly,
stretching the limbs and joints, and gently compressing the abdomen, without
straining. Maintain the postures for a comfortable length of time. The
maintenance period of postures should be increased gradually from 5 seconds
to one minute, or even longer depending upon the posture and capacity of the
patient. Avoid exertion, that is heavy muscular activity.
