About The Diabetes Cure: The 5-Step Plan To Eliminate
Product Description Many doctors tell their patients how to manage diabetes, but why should they simply manage it when they can be rid of it once and for all? In the Diabetes Cure, Alexa Fleckenstein presents a groundbreaking plan to do just that by targeting the real cause of diabetes: inflammation. The book instructs readers on how to use the five essentials of health to achieve a diabetes-free life. Through easy, quick exercises (how does 5 minutes a day sound?); tasty, anti-inflammatory recipes; and many other innovative tips, Dr. Fleckenstein lays out a clear, manageable plan to leave diabetes behind. And ending the struggle with blood sugar is just the start, as this 5-step plan also teaches readers how to shed 5, 10, or even 50 pounds along the way. Complete with success stories featuring people who followed the plan and not only lost weight (up to 50 pounds) but were also no longer diagnosed as diabetic, the Diabetes Cure teaches readers what's really causing their diabetes, shows them how to banish cravings once and for all, and provides the tools to help them take back control of their lives.

Sure, you have heard of diabetes before and may even have a general idea of what led to this diagnosis--maybe you have family members with diabetes or have been fighting your weight and a sweet tooth unsuccessfully for years. Or perhaps you've just been living a sedentary lifestyle. In fact, your doctor may have even warned you that in most cases, developing the disease is a direct result of poor nutrition and lack of exercise. But you didn't really listen, because you've been living this way for years and things seemed fine. How did you miss the warning signs? And what exactly went wrong? To find the answer, we need to go back to the basics and look deep inside your body at its building blocks: your cells. Diabetes and Inflammation Contrary to popular belief, diabetes is not just the result of having high blood sugar and an insulin-deficient pancreas. Instead, it is a chronic state of widespread inflammation--a direct result of your body not being used to its original design. We have ancient bodies and ancient souls, and in these modern times, we don't use them in the way in which they were intended. The little-acknowledged truth is that our bodies are made for outdoor living (i.e., hunting and gathering), not for sitting in a cubicle day in and day out, eating fabricated "food," and watching TV until late in the night. Did you ever think that this kind of lifestyle hurts your body-- and that it deprives you of productivity, creativity, and happiness? Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes There are several risk factors linked to the development of diabetes. Take a look at the list below to determine how many apply to you. • Family history. Both your genes and your childhood environment (learned eating habits, outdoor activities, sleeping patterns, reward mechanisms, etc.) can increase or decrease your risk of developing diabetes. • Weight and fat distribution. The more fat you have (especially around your middle), the more resistant your body becomes to insulin and the hunger-regulating hormone leptin. • Sedentary lifestyle. Pro
