cure for diabetes

May 20th, 2009

Can a diabetic patient ever be cured of the disease? Is there really a cure for diabetes? We are told that one who is diagnosed with the disease should be prepared for a change of lifestyle because while he can take medication to control the symptoms, there is a lot more that will be required of him. He has to follow a meal plan and an exercise regimen. He also needs regular monitoring, either in clinics, by a medical practitioner or at home, doing the tests himself.

Until the time when a real cure for diabetes is discovered, patients diagnosed with the disease will have to stick to rigid diet control. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential. Eating the correct food choices and doing simple doctor prescribed exercises will help in containing the disease. Include a lot of whole grains in your meals and choose foods low in fat and cholesterol. Walk or bicycle whenever you can and take the stairs instead of the elevator. These are simple activities that are doable and will help in managing diabetes.

clean water

May 20th, 2009

For a necessity of life, water sure can be a natural resource that many of us take for granted. We may think if we live in a favorable climate area where water is abundant the rest of the year, that when it falls out of the sky regularly, it should, so, be free. However, the limited access to potable clean water remains a serious health threat in many developing countries. The fact is; clean water is a special commodity that is now beginning to shrink rapidly worldwide. Here in the U.S., there are many other threats to our water reserves such as climate changes, over use of toxic chemicals in agriculture, industry, and mainstream medicine, and unsound land developing practices. The largest threat of all to maintaining clean water reserves, however, is in the general population’s attitude, or lack of concern of the matter.

infant products

May 19th, 2009

My friend who was expectantly waiting for her first grandchild finally called to gladly announce that she was a new grandmother to a baby girl. I went into semi-panic. The reason is that I had been racking my brain for the best baby gift that I can find. After all, I am the godmother of the new mommy so I would like to give her newborn something really nice. It must be something unique that no auntie, friend or other grandmothers will think of giving.

What I want for her is not something that you can find in the infant products section of the department store. I don’t want a cutie sundress or another mobile piece to hang over her crib. Everybody gives that. I need help! Are there suggestions?
