How Well Your Balance is Indicates Health

Slim Healthy SexyDid you know that how well you can balance on one leg is a good indicator of your physical and metal health? The older you are the more likely you will have issues with your balance.

When a toddler or child falls, he or she usually shakes it off and keeps moving. But when an older adult falls, there are often consequences. Broken bones limit mobility. They can also lead to a downward health spiral. Each year, thousands of older Americans die as a result of breaking a hip. Broken bones and head injuries can knock confidence, create a fear of falling, and undermine independence.

As we age

As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off,

A number of changes that come with aging can affect our balance.

  • Inside our ears is a balance center called the vestibular system that detects where our body is in space. Are we upright or lying flat; are we standing on our feet or performing a handstand?
    The vestibular system is connected to centers in the brain that also control our balance. When the vestibular system and brain determine that we’re about to fall over, the brain directs the body to take corrective action. Maybe we twist back upright so we don’t fall. Maybe we’re too far off center to avoid falling, so our arms and hands stretch out to brace our fall.

    As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off. This affects how accurately we detect our position in space. That, in turn, affects our ability to correct our position. For example, if we 51IHFee6qoL._SL160_start to tilt to the right and the vestibular system doesn’t detect this quickly, it becomes harder for the brain to prevent falling to the right.

  • Our sight, the ability to focus and see things clearly, diminishes with age. So do depth perception, night vision and sensitivity to contrast. Eye problems can impair, blur or distort vision. The loss of these visual cues compromises balance. Corrective lenses or surgery may help.
  • Blood pressure can dip suddenly when you stand up, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, even fainting. Standing up slowly — sitting first on the side of the bed when you rise, for example — may help.
  • We lose a lot of muscle mass and strength as we age. We also lose power — a function of strength and speed — which affects balance, too. If you start to trip, power helps you react swiftly. Exercise can help you rebuild strength and power, or at least slow the pace of decline.
  • Our reflexes and coordination slow with age. Thus, you may be more likely to stumble — and take more time to react when you do.

Many health problems can interfere with balance. They include, but are not limited to, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Medications may also increase your risk of falls. They can cause blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness. Some medications may damage the inner ear, spurring balance disorders.

Along with regular aerobic exercise and weight training, balance exercises are important as we get older. Such exercises really can help you improve your balance. (Source: http://www.askdoctork.com/why-does-balance-decline-with-age-201306054928)

I’ve noticed a balancing problem with my then 79 year-old mother. One day we were walking and I witnessed her doing the “old-person shuffle.”

Mom

“Why are you walking like that?” I said horrified to see my mother actually show signs of aging.

“My brain isn’t communicating with my feet,” said my mother.

I never thought my mother would have a problem with her walking or balance. She was a person who was more comfortable walking in the woods picking  mushrooms than she was shopping in a mall. Mystified that she said her brain wasn’t communicating to her feet I decided to research and see if there was a way to improve my mother’s balance. While staying active physically at any age it is also important to keep the mind active. I’ve noticed people who retire suddenly decline physically and mentally in the supposed “Golden Years.” And I’ve seen active seniors in their 80s playing pickleball against people in their 60s; the 80+ year-olds just as fast moving and quick thinking as the 60 year olds.

Balance Board  provides great balancing exercises(Click here)

 

  • Improves core strength, functionality, sense of balance, visual sense
  • Helps to strengthen the targeted muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints
  • Relax the muscles and release your stress away and enhance self confidence
  • Great for rehabilitation centers, gyms, professional athletes and individual

20160530_112042In my observations, seniors that take care of their health or more likely to maintain good balance. They eat well, limit their alcohol, skip the sugary snacks and will walk or engage in other physical activities.

The above activities also provide social connections; very important for mental health in seniors.

 

th1 (1)

Some basic balance exercises you can do anytime include:

  • One-legged stands: Stand on one foot for 30 seconds, or longer, then switch to the other foot. You can do this while brushing your teeth or waiting around somewhere. In the beginning, you might want to have a wall or chair to hold on to.
  • Heel rises: While standing, rise up on your toes as far as you can. Then drop back to the starting position and repeat the process 10 to 20 times. You can make this more difficult by holding light hand weights.
  • Heel-toe walk: Take 20 steps while looking straight ahead. Think of a field sobriety test.
  • Sit-to-stand: Without using your hands, get up from a straight-backed chair and sit back down 10 to 20 times. This improves balance and leg strength.

20160607_135123Just as the body needs physical exercise to keep fit, the brain needs mental exercise to stay active and alive. Mental exercise stimulates the brain, often providing long-lasting positive effects regarding thinking and reasoning skills, memory and processing speed.

Playing games such as cards, mah jong, and hobbies are a great way to keep a senior’s mind sharp.

Depending on the seniors interests and abilities, the following are examples of possible crafts or hobbies they may enjoy.

  • Drawing
  • Painting
  • Knitting
  • Playing music
  • Scrapbooking
  • Woodworking
  • Mosaics using tiles or colored paper
  • Photography

Lost 15 Pounds & No Sign Of Dry, Itchy Skin

“Duncan, I have found your ebook really good, easy to follow and it makes a lot of sense. It has given me a guide to follow, and I have learnt a lot about my condition that I never could have got from my doctor.

“The indications are that I am better. I have lost all of 7 kilos (15 pounds), and the dry itchy skin has all healed. My hands had been dry and cracked and getting infected for about 7 months, and there is not a sign of it now.”

Pauline Food

Noticeable Improvement In Energy Levels After Just One Week!

“…I’ve never looked back since. I feel so much healthier, I’m not tired anymore, I’m eating better, don’t feel bloated or stressed. My skin is not dry. My joints don’t hurt as much. It’s surprising what you can do with the correct information explained to you right. I could never understand why I could not lose weight. I even spent 6 months at the gym, going everyday doing two hours each time and still could not lose the weight.

Now I’m on day 34 of the hypothyrodism solution, I’ve lost 8.5 kgs, dropped a couple of dress sizes, and now feel good, sleep better and have heaps of energy.

I’ve even come off my levothyrozine tablets!…”

Carol Harrison

Noticeable Improvement In Energy Levels After Just One Week!

“I am 38 years old, and was diagnosed last year with subclinical Hashimoto’s disease–not yet so bad as to require hormone therapy, but suffering lots of the symptoms such as fatigue, low moods, heavy menstruation and weight gain.

“From the first week on [after trying The Hypothyroidism Solution], I have had a noticeable improvement in my energy levels and moods, and in five weeks I have lost 4 kilos (9 pounds).”

Janine Campbell
Puerto Varas, Chili

 

 

After 10 Weeks: “I Feel Good… Less ‘Brain Fog’… Nicer Skin”

“When I began the program, my TSH was 0.289 and my antibodies (anti TPO) was 193.5. Today (about 10 weeks later) my TSH is 2.03 and my antibodies are 116.9.

“I feel good, my skin is nicer; I like to think I have a little less brain fog, and I’m sleeping better.

“It was easy to download and receive the information. My questions were answered quickly and I would recommend this program to others.”

Julie Heisey
Timisoara, Romania

 

 

Back To Walking The Dog Again…

“Thanks so much. I got the program, and while I haven’t lost much weight yet, I am AWAKE! I feel so much better that I have been able to start walking my dog again. (I was literally too tired before.)

“I also appreciate the updates and newsletter. Well worth the money.”

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN “THE HYPOTHYROIDISM SOLUTION”

How To Diagnose Your Condition & Find Your Root Cause (Chapters 1 – 4)

  • The 6 most common causes of hypothyroidism, plus a few more you should know about. (The first step back to health is figuring out what made you sick in the first place. Makes sense, doesn’t it?) p. 10-11
  • What to ask for in a blood test to determine whether you actually have hypothyroidism. (IMPORTANT: Many doctors will only test for a substance called “TSH”. But this doesn’t give the complete picture. There are two more critical hormone tests you need to ask for specifically. I’ll tell you which ones they are on p. 12.
  • A comprehensive table to help you interpret your test results. You’ll know for sure whether you have hypothyroidism, and how severe it is. (p. 13)
  • Four more critical blood tests your doctor doesn’t know about, but will determine exactly what is causing your hypothyroidism (so we can properly reverse it). (pp. 13-14)
  • How to determine if you have Hashimoto’s Disease—a type of hypothyroidism caused by an auto-immune dysfunction. (p. 14)
  • How to make sure your blood tests are as accurate as possible. (Yes—they can be inaccurate, which could lead to a misdiagnosis… In fact, it’s surprisingly common. But this checklist will make sure that doesn’t happen to you.) p. 15
  • Why “Western Medicine” masks the symptoms instead of treating the problem at its source. (Chapter 3)
  • Could free-radicals be to blame? Your computer? Certain “innocent” household items? Discover the truth about 11 surprising causes of hypothyroidism, which most people don’t have a clue about. (Chapter 4)

My Step-By-Step Process For Treating Your Problem At Its Source (Chapters 5 – 9)

  • The “Thyroid Support Squad”: 7 vitamins, 5 minerals, and 1 amino acid you should be taking on a daily basis. PLUS, how to get them naturally in the foods you eat. (Chapter 5)
  • Twelve natural herbs—with few to zero side effects—that help support the thyroid. Just look for them at your nearest health food store, or order them from one of the online dealers listed in the “Resources” section. (Chapter 5)
  • Why just being outside under the right conditions for a few minutes a day will help improve your thyroid function. (p. 75)
  • The “4 Phase Treatment Plan”. Chances are, Phase 1 is all you’ll need… but just in case, there are Phases 2, 3, & 4 to cover all the bases. It’s all detailed in Chapter 6.
  • How to eat your way back to health. What foods to eat—and which ones to avoid—to get your thyroid back on track. (Relax… chocolate is perfectly safe—even helpful!) Chapters 5 & 7
  • Easy, fun, and gentle ways to integrate exercise into your life. (Yes, a little exercise will do wonders for your overall health, including your thyroid. But it doesn’t have to be a chore, and it certainly shouldn’t be painful.) Chapter 8
  • Eight easy ways to reduce one of the most insidious causes of hypothyroidism. (This silent killer causes a whole host of problems… but I’ll show you how to manage it.) Chapter 9
  • A comprehensive list of resources – sources for purchasing the best herbs & supplements… online hormone testing, which will save you wads of cash… plus, a list of links to online health information, organizations, & associations related to thyroid dysfunction. (Beginning on p. 84)

“The Hypothyroidism Solution” covers every base … no stone has been left unturned in helping you bring your health back to normal. And you’ll see why I am saying this in a minute.

And fortunately, you will be giving your body its best chance to avoid a lifetime of medication, because when you download “The Hypothyroidism Solution”, you’re going to learn how to manage this problem at the source.

And the best part …

You can have quality of life for less than the cost of a doctor’s visit – at $37 … And even better … you won’t have to keep paying for doctors visits looking for the answers once you have this ultimate hypothyroidism solution.

But either way, you’ll soon be well on your way to playing with the kids or grandkids with renewed energy and vitality… you’ll actually feel good for a change… and you’ll probably even drop a few pounds in the process!

Mammograms VS. Thermograms For Breast Health

Mammograms vs. Thermograms for breast health. Have you ever had a mammogram? Have you ever had a thermogram? If you are over the age of 40 and female I am sure you have had a mammogram. A mammogram is the GOLD STANDARD for the mainstream, medical community for detecting breast mammogramcancer. It entails a visit to the radiation department of your doctor’s office or hospital and you are led into a room where your breasts, one at a time, is squeezed between two metal plates and an x-ray is taken. The image is then read by a technician in another room. If anything suspicious is seen then more x-rays are taken and you are told that your doctor will call you with the results. Sometimes your doctor will request that you also have an ultrasound. If your tests are still unclear the next step is a needle biopsy or an operation to remove the lump called an lumpectomy. If it looks very concerning to the surgeon, the patient will be prepped before the operation that if the lump proves to be cancerous she can elect to have an mastectomy instead of just a lumpectomy. Can you image the STRESS this causes a women?!

(From http://www.thermographyonline.com/) Disclaimer: Thermography is utilized as an adjunctive imaging procethermogram1-300x203dure only and, as such, is not a replacement for or alternative to any other form of imaging. Since thermography only detects heat at the surface of the body, the technology cannot see into the cranial vault, thoracic or pelvic cavities, or deep into the body to visualize organs or bones. All thermography reports are meant to identify thermal emissions that suggest potential risk markers only and do not in any way suggest a diagnosis or treatment. Since a diagnosis cannot be made from an infrared image, thermal markers must be correlated by the patient’s treating physician with additional testing and procedures before a final diagnosis can be made.

Years ago I went in for my routine mammogram. I hated the entire experience. First, my anxiety level goes up when I just make the appointment because I fear what they will find. Then the actually experience of having your delicate breast tissue squished between two cold, metal plates can be painful and damaging in my opinion. If a suspicious spot is found then you will have to go through a number of addition x-rays causing more STRESS. The last time I had a suspicious area by a mammogram technician I had to position my body in several awkward positions for many different images of my right breast to be taken. All I was thinking was:

  • This is uncomfortable.
  • I am scared.
  • How much additional HARMFUL x-rays and I getting pointed directly at my breast?
  • Do I have CANCER?!

After that whole mess, I was sent home after I was told a doctor would review my images. Great! Now I get to go home and worry if I have cancer or not. Terrifying!

The next day my doctor called me saying that they needed MORE breast images so I had to go back in a  for more x-rays. Are you kidding me? I did and no definitive answer was given so I was sent to have an ultrasound. At the ultrasound the suspicious area was measured and to my horror the technician practically snapped my head off when I asked her a simple question.

Back to my doctor’s office, she said that the suspicious area was determined to be a cyst, BUT she recommended that I see a surgeon and have the cyst aspirated so the cells could be examined under a microscope to see if it contained any precancerous cells. I sat in her office as she made the call to the surgeon’s office to schedule an appointment for me. I guess the receptionist on the other end of the phone asked if I was nervous because my doctor looked at me and asked me if I was nervous. By this time honestly I was no longer nervous because I had crossed over to PISSED. Are you serious? This is bull! The x-rays, the manipulation as my doctor tried to find the lump, the wait for the next appointment, the wait, wait, wait. I was beyond nervous and way into…this is just so irritating.

I did go to the surgeon’s appointment many days later, and the doctor did another ultrasound and determined that it was a cyst that would probably go away in a few months. If I wanted him to aspirate it (long needle into the breast) he would do so. I elected to come back in three months for another ultrasound. And in three months…the cyst was gone. Whew!

May I say, the entire process was HELL and I vowed to never go through that rigamarole again.That was my LAST mammogram to date. I decided to find an alternative way to monitor my breasts without the x-rays and without the squish of breast tissue. I found thermography. Thermography takes a image of your breasts and determines if there is anything suspicious by heat activity. A cancerous area will give off more heat than the rest of tissue and will show up on the image as a white spot. White being the hottest, red is warm showing inflammation, and blue is what you want to see. Go here for a better explanation. HERE

thermographmyMy appointment was in Sarasota, FL with Rita Rimmer, Certified Clinical Thermographer at Health Imaging. Rita was wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She does the thermogram in a calm and quiet room with tranquil music playing softly in the background. I was told to take my shirt and bra off (Rita didn’t approve of my under-wire bra which restricts the lymph nodes.) and she aims the thermography camera/device at your breasts about 3 feet from where you sit and snaps via computer many pictures. While she is taking the pictures you can at the same time view the images on her computer screen, and she explains what is going on internally with your breast. Excellent! Much better than the ultrasound technician that snapped my head off.

(Source: From Rita Rimmer’s webpage) Thermography, although widely used in Europe and Australia, is beginning to make a comeback in the United States in the form of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI).    

DITI is more sensitive than previous thermographic technology and new digital thermal cameras are much smaller, more reliable, and significantly less expense than industrial cameras used in the 1970’s. 

DITI is 100% safe, painless and requires no harmful radiation.

A Canadian Breast Cancer Screening Study demonstrated that thermography, when used in conjunction with mammography, can detect up to 95% of breast cancers.

I saw blue, yellow, green and red areas, breastscan_linkand the red was mostly around where the wire of my bra was just pressing against. Rita explained to me this is a sign of inflammation and explained what bras would be better for me to wear. She also explained that a thermogram will indicate a cancer/hot spot 10 years before it will show up on a mammogram. Rita gave me a lot of knowledge that day, and I am forever thankful to her for that. She relieved me from so much stress about whether I was going to find a cancerous lump the next time I did a breast self-examine or had a mammogram. In fact, I have never had another mammogram again and my family doctor is fine with that. Unfortunately, my health insurance does not cover the thermography and that is okay with me. I have no problem paying for it which at this time is over $100.00 but well worth it in my opinion. I think it reveals a lot more than a mammogram and knowledge is power. There are some health insurance plans that will cover it and I check from time to time to see if my personal plan has changed and will cover thermograms.

The traditional medical community has treated thermography as they did chiropractic care 20 years ago. They are not convinced it is reliable and they still rely on mammograms as the main diagnostic tool. For people who still want to have a mammogram I would recommend having both. I personally have friends who have had mammograms that have missed the cancer for years. (It is said that it takes 10 years for cancer to develop.) A thermogram can detect cancer 10 years before a mammogram.

Lets talk about what kind of radiation you receive from a mammogram.

General questions and comments on radiation risk

In large doses, radiation can cause serious tissue damage and increase a person’s risk of later developing cancer. The low doses of radiation used for imaging tests might increase a person’s cancer risk slightly, but it’s important to put this risk into perspective.

Point here, there is no minimum level of radiation that does not cause cancer. And to focus the radiation on your delicate breast tissue every year or two years…I will pass.

In conclusion, I determined that mammograms were not for me for the following reasons:

  • Risk of cancer being caused by the radiation no matter how small the dose.
  • Uncomfortable pain and pressure from the test.
  • Unreliable results.
  • False positives or positives false.
  • The coldness of the entire process and the lack of communication.
  • The waiting process for results.
  • Having to go in for more tests and more x-rays for accurate diagnosis.

I am pro thermograms because:

  • Same day results. (Your images are sent away for a professional review, too.)
  • Personal interaction with the thermographer.
  • You are given images for your personal records.
  • No pain, no radiation.
  • A clear explanation of your breast health and how to improve.

There are a couple of places to have a thermogram in the Sarasota area and if you Google thermography in your area you will most likely find one close to you. I recommend that you talk to your OBYGN or family doctor about whether to have a thermogram. Some are against it and some will recommend having both. As I said before, my doctors accept thermography and have no problem with me skipping the mammograms. I know some health practitioners reject thermograms and in some extreme cases insist that you have a mammogram every two years or they will not have you as a patient. Okay, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Leaky Gut & Diabetes by Terry Ryan

Nearly 26 million Americans have either Type I or Type II diabetes at a cost of more the $245 billion needle-and-syringeannually. The American Diabetes Association estimates that by 2050, as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes. While the majority of diabetes research, publicity, and health care dollars focus on Type 2 diabetes and obesity, we need to pay attention to type 1 diabetes. The incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has increased significantly worldwide just in the last few decades, and it is important we focus our energy on it as well.

Type I diabetes can occur in both adults and children and is due to destruction of the cells in the pancreas called beta cells. Diabetes can start suddenly and symptoms may include:

  • Extreme thirst
  • Increased urination
  • Increased appetite
  • Sudden weight loss
  • Fatigue or lethargy
  • Sudden vision changes
  •  Fruity odor to the breath

It is caused by the immune system attacking the pancreas, i.e. it is an autoimmune disorder. The pancreas can no longer make insulin because the beta cells have been destroyed and insulin must come from an outside source. It is a constant daily challenge for these individuals to manage their blood sugar.

Medical history shows that childhood diabetes, or Type 1 diabetes, was quite rare in several countries across the world and showed no change in incidence from 1925-1955. The 1892 edition of Osler’s Principles and Practice of Medicine mentions that only 10 patients out 35,000 treated at Johns Hopkins had diabetes (1 and 2). Massachusetts General Hospital recorded admitting and treating 172 patients with diabetes from 1824-1898, of which there were only 18 patients under the age of 20. However, an increase in the prevalence of T1D has been documented since the mid 1900’s and has been steadily increasing since then.

Compare historical findings to the latest statistics. There are three million Americans with Type 1 diabetes ImmuneSystemwith more than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults diagnosed  each year. There has been a 23% increase in prevalence of Type 1 diabetes in children and teenagers between 2001 and 2009. Many argue these statistics, reasoning that it is simply better diagnostic techniques, recognition, and statistics. The topic continues under debate, but the numbers are clear. The illness is impacting more every year.

Leaky Gut Syndrome and Type I Diabetes

For decades, medical research has been trying to understand the causes of Type I diabetes. They face many of the same challenges in understanding why the autoimmune disorder occurs as other autoimmune diseases. There have been many theories over the years and research continues to delve into the causes of T1D.

There is strong evidence coming to light that environmental products and subsequent development of digestive issues are triggering autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells leading to Type I diabetes in both children and adults.

Several recent studies have now identified that altered or increased intestinal permeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome) is actually responsible for the onset of Type 1 diabetes. This altered mechanism occurs before the onset of complications, i.e. full blown destruction of the pancreatic beta cells. Animal studies showed that the altered intestinal permeability preceded the onset of diabetes by at least one month. This increase in gut permeability does not occur as the cause in Type II diabetes, but specifically to Type 1 diabetes. Human studies show that this breakdown and change in tight junctions and zonulin* is present in at least 50 % of T1D patients.

In addition to the presence of increased gut permeability prior to T1 D development, the medical journal Diabetes reported that at least half of T1D patients had an abnormal T-cell immune response to dietary wheat proteins and triggered different gene expression than Celiac Disease patients. Meaning when T1D patients were tested for the traditional Celiac Disease lab marker, tissue transglutaminase IgG and IgA, their markers were negative and many times there were no digestive symptoms like with Celiac Disease. However, when tested for other wheat peptides, their markers reacted with a positive finding. It was a completely different gene that was being triggered by wheat/gluten not measured by the standard medical marker and provoked a T-cell immune response against the pancreas. Wheat has been proven in animal studies as a trigger for T1D, but now researchers are seeing this “silent” association in human studies. In fact, the association of T1D with other autoimmune disorders, commonly Celiac Disease and Hashimotos’sthyroiditis, has been known for quite sometime. The scope has widened beyond traditional Celiac Disease markers and T1D.

Knowing that increased gut permeability precedes T1D onset and that wheat/gluten  autoimmunity is present at least half the time in T1D development is powerful information. This is a huge breakthrough in understanding T1D and autoimmunity. Testing wheat/gluten autoimmunity and reactivity, increased zonulin levels, and intestinal permeability are now easily done by blood tests leaving the guess work out of the picture. 

 

Gut Flora

Researchers are diligently studying the gut microbiome imbalances or alterations in gut flora and have found that it is clearly associated with increased gut permeability. This means that a germ, i.e. yeast or bacteria that should not be in the digestive tract, can clearly initiate Leaky Gut Syndrome. The antibiotic that was taken by a child for an upper respiratory infection, acne, or the ear infection, can trigger this gut microbiome imbalance. Combine that with the athlete who is trying to make varsity team in high school or college. Then throw in disrupted gut clocks and altered sleep-wake schedules that teenagers often experience while consuming the standard American Diet of white flour (gluten) and white sugar and lots of fast food stops after school. How about the weekend warrior athlete with the same factors? It can be the perfect storm for the development of Type 1 diabetes. <Screammmmmm>

Researchers are studying other autoimmune disorders and there is mounting evidence that several diseases follow this same change in tight junctions and zonulin function leading to Leaky Gut Syndrome and autoimmune inflammation. It also includes other disorders such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, several types of cancers including brain and pancreatic cancer, chronic inflammation, and schizophrenia. This is similar to Celiac Disease, thyroid problems, and candida overgrowth.

Help!

There are several solutions that can be used to help support the body in the case of Type 1 diabetes. It is imperative to be tested for “wheat/gluten proteome reactivity and autoimmunity” and remove these food intolerances if present. It is absolutely vital to also include organic, fermented foods like fermented veggies or probiotics that help support beneficial gut bacteria. It is just as imperative to work on reducing the risk and consequences of Leaky Gut Syndrome. There are several compounds that help reduce this inflammatory response and reduce the risk for T1D. These include L-glutamine, probiotics, vitamin D, and Omega 3 oils.

There also is the whole aspect of helping blood sugar work better and reducing the consequences of elevated blood sugar and AGEs or Advanced Glycation End Units. No matter what age you are, if you have T1D, you have to be proactive lifelong about reducing AGEs responses. Several nutrients can help support this process:

These has been shown to protect against AGEs, but it also helps to protect T- cells that may be part of the issue for Type 1 diabetes. Because poorly controlled blood sugar damages capillaries, kidneys, eyes, nerves in anyone with Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes, as well as those who have borderline blood sugar levels, it is vital to be proactive about these concerns. A young child with T1D has a lifetime ahead of them. Let’s help protect these children and adults from further damage, or if possible, reduce the risk for the disease from occurring. Be proactive!

*Zonulin is a protein that modulates the permeability of tight junctions between cells of the wall of the digestive tract.
