If you are diabetic, the chance that you are overweight and this increase the
chance of high cholesterol and high blood pressure. So, to control the
glucose in your blood stream, you might want to try high protein diet
together with fighting cholesterol and high blood pressure natural remedies.

Diabetes is defined as a condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose. It is either caused by cells in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

Traditionally, diabetes is viewed as a failure of the pancreas to release
enough insulin for sugar metabolism. People with diabetes has grown
increasingly worse over last 10 years. The escalation in diabetes corresponds
to rise in heart disease, because of over weight, poor diet and lack of
exercise.

In order to control glucose in the bloodstream, diabetics should meet with a dietitian to have an individualized meal plan designed for you, based on your eating habits, activity, lifestyle and diabetes treatment goals. The aim of any food guide or plan is to maximize your nutritional intake, at the same time minimize the risk of progression to diabetes and development of heart disease.

Your daily food guide: Total 100%
1. Carbohydrates: 50-55% such as whole grain, cereals, fruits, vegetables, recommended those with high fiber.
2. Protein: 25-30% such as red meat, milk products, eggs, white chicken meat, soy and soy products, recommended those with less saturated fat. Since meat contains high levels of iron, eating more white meatshould add iron supplement into a diabetic's diet.

Most Common Disease of 50plus: High Blood Cholesterol - Tips to Lower Your Cholesterol Levels

Cholesterol is needed for our body to build cell walls, make hormones and vitamin D, and create bile salts that help you digest fat. However too much of it can be dangerous because cholesterol cannot dissolve in your blood. The special particle called lipoprotein moves this waxy, soft substance from place to place. If you have too much low density lipoprotein LDL that is known as bad cholesterol, overtime cholesterol can build up in your arterial walls causing blockage and leading to heart attack and stroke.

There are 2 types of cholesterol:
1. Low density lipoprotein in short LDL, as mention above is known as bad cholesterol. Most people with uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated fat have high levels of LDL. This is very harmful to your body.
2. High density lipoprotein in short HDL, is known as good cholesterol. It helps to carry bad cholesterol away from your arteries to the liver where it is eliminated.

High cholesterol in your blood can be dangerous, but it can be controllable through diet.

1.Eating less saturated fat and trans fat.
Saturated is the most dangerous fat because it raises blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels that increase the chance of arterial clotting. Eating too much saturated fat overtime will cause arteries to become stiff and inflexible.
Trans fats are made from polyunsaturated fats that undergo a process that makes things even worse for your arteries than saturated fat. They raise the LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol, which is doubly bad for your heart.

2. Choose monounsaturated
Monounsaturated fat can be found in olive, canola and nuts which helps to lower LDL cholesterol. Unlike the polyunsaterated fat, it does not lower your HDL cholesterol.

4.Eat whole grains
Whole grain contains a lot of fiber that helps to slash LDL cholesterol while leaving the good HDL cholesterol alone. Study shows that an additional 10 grams of cereal fiber can reduce the risk of heart attacks by 29%.

5. Eat more cold water fish
Cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines are healthy sources of omega 3 fatty acids that can help to lower triglycerides.

6. Maintain a healthy weight
Maintain your weight within a healthy range by balancing calorie intake. If not, your body will convert extra calories to triglycerides and store them, increasing your chance of heart disease.

7. Increase physical activity
Study shows that regular exercise helps to reach the ideal balance of high HDL cholesterol and low triglycerides.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means raising pressure in your heart.If it stays high over time it can damage the body in many ways.
Blood pressure medications have undoubtedly prevented many deaths from heart disease in the past 30 years, but they have many side effects such as damaging the kidney. If you can control your diet, such as making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.

Here are some natural remedies which will help you to lower high blood pressure, keeping it in the normal range of 130/80.

1. Calcium and Magnesium
A combination of these 2 minerals with the right DOSAGES have a long and undisputable track record for normalizing blood pressure safely. Be sure only taking these compounds with the ratio of 2 to 1. Otherwise, this compound might cause irregular heart beat.

2. Mediterranean diet
A study found that people in Greece and Italy always have ideal blood pressure, because their diet contains more polyunsaturated fat, such as olive oil. If you can replace saturated fat in your diet with extra virgin oil, your could easily normalizing your blood pressure.

3. Reducing Salt intake
Salt is a mineral composed of sodium and chloride. You need only half a tablespoon a day, but we consume many times more than that everyday causinghigh blood pressure and increasing the risk of early death.
Avoid processed meat, because it has been soaked in salt. Use little Ketchup, mustard, and soy sauce because they contain high amounts of salt.

4. Cigarette
If you smoke, you better quit. The nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products causes your blood vessels to constrict and your heart to beat faster, which temporarily raises your blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure, smoking will raise your blood pressure even higher, causing the risk of heart disease and strokes.

5.Alcohol
Alcohol might cause a temporary raise of blood pressure in some people. If you have high blood pressure, you should reduce your daily intake of alcohol to 1-2 cups. If your blood pressure increases with alcohol, it's best not to drink any alcohol.

6. Relaxation
Stress may affect blood pressure. To help combat the effects of stress, try relaxation techniques, such as yoga, light weight exercise, aerobic exercise, etc.

The finding the natural ingredient for prevention and treatment of endometriosis to replace the adverse effects of conventional medicine has been facing many obstacles. Many initially potentially therapeutic values working in animal studies does not produce the same effectiveness in human trials.

Scientists in some well known institution may have found the combination of ingredients of tomato(1) and curcumin(5) and with therapeutic values for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of endometriosis, recent studies suggested.

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood. If, some of the endometrial tissues travelled somewhere in the body, it may induce endometriosis. Endometriosis.also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, such as building up tissue, breaking it and eliminating it through menstrual period.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongs to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, tomato is grown world wide for commercial purpose and often in green house. Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A was found effectively for treatment of endometriosis through its function of promotion survival or apoptosis of cells, according to the University of California(1).
Dr. Pavone ME and colleagues in the study of altered retinoid uptake and action in patient with endometriosis, treatment of endometriosis may be depended to genes in metabolism of retinol (RA)(2). On animal model, RA exhibited anti endometrial effects by decreasing the volume of endometriotic implants were significantly decreased during menstruation(3).
Furthermore, in the study of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) against endometriosis, researchers showed that RA inhibited the development of endometriotic implants by reduced the proinflmmatory cytokines IL-6 and the beta chemokine family MCP-1 production(4).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia, used in trditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc. Its phytochemical curcumin has showed to exhibit anti endometriosis effect, through reducing estradiol production(5).
According to the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, through inhibiting MMP-2 activity, involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) in normal physiological processes, curcumin delayed endometriosis development and endometrial progression(6).
The spice also showed to inhibited (MMP)-9 of which may relate to the either post- or pre-endometriosis arrested endometriosis in a dose-dependent manner(7), Dr Swarnakar S and Dr. Paul S. said.


Taking altogether, women who are at increased risk of Vaginal Bleeding in Menopause caused by  endometriosis due to menstrual irregularity, family history .....should drink at least one serving daily and women with endometriosis should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

The health benefits of Kidney beans( Phaseolus)

A. Health benefits according to studies
1. Hypoglycaemic and anorexigenic activities
In the assessment of alpha-amylase isolated and purified from an extract of whitekidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and its Hypoglycaemic and anorexigenic activities indicated that the present study has shown, for the first time, that the prolonged administration of an alpha-amylase inhibitor reduces blood glucose levels and body-weight gain in Wistar rats, according to "Hypoglycaemic and anorexigenic activities of an alpha-amylase inhibitor from white kidney beans(Phaseolus vulgaris) in Wistar rats" by Tormo MA, Gil-Exojo I, Romero de Tejada A, Campillo JE.(a)

2. Leukemia
In the observation of a 67-kDa hemagglutinin composed of two identical subunits was purified from Phaseolus vulgaris cv. 'Dark Red Kidney Bean and its effect in mitogenic activity found that the hemagglutinin exhibited mitogenic activity toward murine splenocytes, it had no effect on the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase or mycelial growth in the fungi Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum and Mycosphaerella arachidicola. It exerted an antiproliferative activity on leukemia L1210 cells, according to "A hemagglutinin with mitogenic activity from dark red kidney beans" by Xia L, Ng TB.(b)

3. Antiradical and antioxidant activity
In the analyzing the effects of solid state fermentation (SSF) on physicochemical, nutritional and antioxidant properties of common bean flour found that tempeh flour had 2.2-fold more phenolics than the bean flour and exhibited antiradical activity (43%) and antioxidant activity (38%) correlated with total phenolics content. Common bean tempeh flour may be considered for the fortification of widely consumed legume-based food products and also for the prevention of pathologies associated with oxidative stress, according to "Physicochemical, nutritional andantioxidant properties of tempeh flour from common bean ( Phaseolusvulgaris L.)" by Reyes-Bastidas M, Reyes-Fernández EZ, López-Cervantes J, Milán-Carrillo J, Loarca-Piña GF, Reyes-Moreno C.(c)

4. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities
In the study of Hulls obtained by mechanical abrasive dehulling from four bean and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, found that bean hull water extracts were stronger inhibitors of lipoxygenase, 15-LOX, than corresponding acetone extracts. Anti-inflammatory activity of bean hulls was dependent on their phenolic content and antioxidant activity that were significantly affected by cultivar and extracting solvent, according to "Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) hulls" by Oomah BD, Corbé A, Balasubramanian P.(d)

5. Etc.

B. Health benefits according to the concentration
1. Molybdenum
Molybdenum beside helps in producing energy, processing waste substances and neutralizing toxic effects of sulphites, it also improves the properly functioning of fat, carbohydrates, copper, and nitrogen metabolism, according to the article of "Molybdenum Aids Fat and Carbohydrate Metabolism", posted in Nutra Legacy)

2. Folate
Folate beside is important for the production of red blood cells, and for the proper development of the brain, it also helps to enhance the replication and maintain DNA and RNA, thus reducing the risk of birth defects, in a study of "Go folic!" by Bland J., posted in PubMed, researchers state that in order to prevent neural tube defects (NTDs), and proactively prevent new cases of spina bifida and hydrocephalus, it is essential that women take folic acid well before becoming pregnant. Through the use of social networks, and the voice of healthcare professionals, it is hoped that more women than ever before will receive the Go Folic! message and start taking the 400mcg/day required to ensure the development of a healthy brain and spine.

3. Tryptophan
Tryptophan is one of the 10 essential amino acids which the body uses to synthesize the proteins for brain cells need, thus enhancing the nerve cells in information transmitting between themselves and cells in the parts of the body that reduces the risk of anxiety and depression, according to the study of "The effects of tryptophan depletion on neural responses to emotional words in remitted depression" by Roiser JP, Levy J, Fromm SJ, Nugent AC, Talagala SL, Hasler G, Henn FA, Sahakian BJ, Drevets WC.(1)

4. Dietary Fibers
Daily intake of right amount of fibers can prevent and treat Diabetes. As Increased consumption of vegetables, whole grains, and soluble and insoluble fiber is associated with improved glucose metabolism in both diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. Improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis were more evident in participants following a plant-based diet compared with other commonly used diets, according to the study of "Efficacy of high-fiber diets in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus" by Wolfram T, Ismail-Beigi F.(2)

5. Manganese
It is one of important trace in preventing osteoporosis, according to the study of "[Study of estrogen deficiency impact on manganese levels in teeth and mandible of rats after ovariectomy]. [Article in Polish]" by Rahnama M, Błoniarz J, Zareba S, Swiatkowski W.(1)and regulating blood sugar level, according to the study of "[An inadequate intake of manganese may favour insulin resistance in girls]. [Article in Spanish]" by Rodríguez-Rodríguez E, Bermejo LM, López-Sobaler AM, Ortega RM.(2)

6. Etc.

C. Other health benefits
1. Immune system
Kidney bean contains eight basic form of amino acid which not only helps to the nervous system in relay information between themselves and cells in other parts of the body (according to the article of "Amino Acids: How They Affect the Brain and Nervous System" posted in http://www.greendivamom.com/) it also improves the immune system to generate B lymphocytes by rapid dividing and replicating for the body's antibody defense mechanism. In stuyd of "Branched-chain amino acidsupplementation does not enhance athletic performance but affects muscle recovery and the immune system" by Negro M, Giardina S, Marzani B, Marzatico F., posted in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18974721), researchers found that The BCAA (branched-chain amino acids) also modifies the pattern of exercise-related cytokine production, leading to a diversion of the lymphocyte immune response towards a Th1 type. According to these findings, it is possible to consider the BCAA as a useful supplement for muscle recovery andimmune regulation for sports events.

2. Anthocyanins
Anthocyanin, one of the powerful antioxidant which make the color of kidney bean skin looking darker helps to inhibit promotion and progression of tumor and cancer cells by accelerating the rate of cell turnover. In a study of "Anthocyans from fruits and vegetables--does bright colour signal cancer chemopreventive activity?" by Cooke D, Steward WP, Gescher AJ, Marczylo T., posted in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16084717), researchers found that the currently available literature provides tantalising hints of the potential usefulness of anthocyans or anthocyan mixtures as cancer chemopreventive interventions. Nevertheless further studies are necessary to help adjudge the propitiousness of their clinical development.

3. Type II diabetes

5. Antimicrobial activity
In the investigation of homologous defensins, Sm-AMP-D1 and Sm-AMP-D2, were isolated from seeds of common chickweed Stellaria media L. and it antimicrobal effects found that the Brassicaceae plants and display strong inhibitory activity against phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes in the micromolar range (IC(50)≤1μM), according to the study of "Isolation, molecular cloning and antimicrobial activity of novel defensins from common chickweed (Stellariamedia L.) seeds" by Slavokhotova AA, Odintsova TI, Rogozhin EA, Musolyamov AK, Andreev YA, Grishin EV, Egorov TA.(5)

6. Nutrients
Chickweed is considered one of most edible and nutritious food as it contains high amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, the omega-6 fatty acid derivative), saponins, niacin, riboflavin (B2) thiamin (B1), beta carotene (A), magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, sodium, selenium and silica. The leaves contain saponins[7, 65]. Although toxic, these substances are very poorly absorbed by the body and so tend to pass through without causing harm. They are also broken down by thorough cooking, according to "Plant for the future"(6)
