So many death caused by Diabetes is due to ignorance or lack of knowledge on it. These spurred the need to highlight to you the following facts sourced from WHO (World Health Organization) documentation;

There is an emerging epidemic of diabetes that can be traced back to rapid increases in overweight, obesity and physical inactivity.
Total deaths from diabetes are projected to rise by more than 50% in the next 10 years. Most notably, they are projected to increase by over 80% in upper- middle income countries.
T1D is characterized by a lack of insulin production and T2D resultsfrom the body's ineffective use of insulin.
T2D is much more common than T1D, and accounts for around 90% of all Diabetes worldwide.
Reports of T2D in children- previously rare- have increased worldwide. In some countries, it accounts fro almost half of newly diagnosed cases in children and adolescents.
A third type of diabetes is gestational diabetes. This type is characterized by hyperglycemia, or rapid blood sugar, which is first recognized during pregnancy.
80% of diabetes deaths are now occurring in low- and middle- income countries.
In 2005, 1.1 million people died from diabetes. The full impact is much larger, because although people may live for years with diabetes, their cause of death is often recorded as heart diseases or kidney failure.
Lack of awareness about diabetes, combined with insufficient access to health services, can lead to complications such as blindness, amputation and kidney failure.
Diabetes can be prevented. Thirty minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days and a healthy diet can drastically reduce the risk of developing T2D.

This week is dedicated to the study of Diabetes; types, causes, prevention and management. The information is important for us not to be ignorant of this deadly health condition. Diabetes does not have a cure but with proper management you can live healthy lives than those without it. According to WHO, in 2014, 9% of adults 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2012 diabetes was the direct cause of 1.5 million deaths. More than 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disorder in which the body has trouble regulating its blood glucose or blood sugar levels. There are 2 major types: Type 1 and Type 2.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an auto immune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing Insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. T1D usually strikes in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood, and a lifetime. Just to survive, people with T1D must take multiple injections of insulin daily or continually infuse insulin through a pump.

T2D is a metabolic disorder in which a person’s body still produces insulin but unable to use it effectively. It is usually diagnose in adulthood and does not always require insulin injections. However, increased obesity has led to recent rise in cases of T2D in children and young adults.

Taking insulin does not cure any types of diabetes, nor does it prevent the possibility of the disease’s devastating effects: Kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, heart attack, stroke, and pregnancy complications.

Health Conditions associated with Snoring (Sleep Apnea)

healthsecretspg@gmail.com (Aboloye Omotola) — Thu, 3 Sep 2015 06:21:00 -0700

You may think of snoring as a sometimes annoying or embarrassing, side effect of sleep. But before you discount your

snoring as nothing out of the ordinary, consider this: People whose snoring is caused by severe sleep apnea have a 40 percent greater chance of dying early than do their peers. That's because this sleep disorder is related to a host of health procblems, from heart disease to depression, warns sleep medicine expert Karl Doghraji, MD, medical director of the Sleep Center at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals in Philadelphia.

If you know you have sleep apnea, or you snore, here are 11 conditions linked to snoring and sleep apnea that you should know about. If you're not sure, this should be the wake-up call you need to discuss your snoring with us.

Stroke

An analysis of health data from one sleep study found that the intensity of snoring was related to the risk of carotid atherosclerosis — narrowing of the arteries in the neck due to fatty deposits called plaque — and as a result, stroke. Simply put, the louder and longer you snore each night, the greater your long-term risk for a stroke. Protect yourself by getting help for snoring, especially if you experience daytime sleepiness, if your spouse says your breathing stops in your sleep (both signs of sleep apnea), or if you have other health concerns, such as high blood pressure.

Heart Disease

"We know that sleep apnea is linked to cardiovascular problems, such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, eventually leading to possible heart attacks," says Dr. Doghramji. In fact, data suggest that people with sleep apnea are twice as likely to have both nonfatal heart disease events and fatal heart attacks.

Arrhythmias

People with long-term snoring or sleep apnea risk developing an irregular heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. Researchers have found that people with sleep apnea are more likely to have episodes of atrial fibrillation, the most common type of arrhythmia, than people without it or people whose apnea is treated with CPAP. Apnea may affect the conductive system of the heart, says Doghramji. Or it might be more common because obstructive sleep apnea appears to enlarge the left atrium over a long period of time.

GERD

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is very common in people with sleep apnea, Doghramji says. People who have sleep apnea also may have GERD because of the disordered way in which their throat closes while air moves in and out during sleep, causing pressure changes that can suck the contents of their stomach back up into the esophagus. Both GERD and sleep apnea are related to being overweight and both seem to ease as people return to a normal weight.

Injury

This is one of the more serious dangers of sleep deprivation caused by snoring or sleep apnea. Daytime sleepiness can be so intense that it puts you and the people around you at risk, says Doghramji. If snoring or sleep apnea is leaving you exhausted, you run the risk of falling asleep, perhaps while driving. An analysis of health information and driving data for 618 adults over 10 years showed that the sleepier people felt during the day, the greater their risk for a car accident. The risk was also greater if people were driving alone.

Mental Health Issues

Sleep apnea can affect your mental well-being, leading to issues from crankiness from a lack of sleep to serious depression, Doghramji says. In fact, the link between sleep apnea, snoring, and depression is well established. A recent study of 74 snorers showed that the more daytime sleepiness people report, the greater their chances of also having mild depression or anxiety symptoms. Researchers are still untangling this relationship, but treating sleep apnea does seem to help ease depression.

Headache

Do you often wake up with a headache? It's not just from your spouse complaining about your snoring. According to a recently published study of 268 people who were habitual snorers, researchers found a connection between frequent morning headaches and sleep disorders including insomnia and sleep apnea. Not surprisingly, snorers with frequent headaches reported a lower quality of life than those whose heads do not hurt.

Nocturia

Getting up to use the bathroom two or more times a night is a condition called nocturia. For some people, this includes a loss of bladder control. It is also linked with snoring in both men and women. Research suggests that men over the age of 55 who wake up often to urinate may have both benign prostate enlargement and obstructive sleep apnea. Another study showed a strong link between the two conditions.

Less Sexual Satisfaction

A study of 827 older men found that the more and the louder they snored, the more likely they were to report lower levels of sexual satisfaction, even though a clinical analysis of their health did not show physiological signs of reduced sexual response. Many people are so affected by their snoring that they don't have the desire for intimate relations with their spouse, explains Doghramji. Treatment for sleep disorders can usually get you back into the game.

Fetal Complications

Snoring during the last trimester of pregnancy is usually due to weight gain. Of greater concern, says Doghramji, is that this snoring is also accompanied by an increased risk for fetal complications. The connection isn't clear yet, but it might not be surprising given the way that interrupted sleep appears to negatively affect almost every aspect of health. Women who snore loudly during pregnancy should talk to their family doctor or ob-gyn.

Excess Weight

Half of overweight people also have sleep apnea, says Doghramji. This is partly because of the extra weight that collects around the neck, making it harder to keep breathing at night. The good news is that losing weight improves symptoms related to sleep disorders. If you're overweight and your spouse or other family members tease you about snoring, Forever F.I.T Program will help you jumpstart your weight lose plan.

Whether your snoring is light and lovely, or orchestral, FOREVER LIVING will get you (and your family) back to sleep.

10 ways to know you need to burn that fat.

healthsecretspg@gmail.com (Aboloye Omotola) — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 04:10:00 -0700

You don't necessarily have to be obviously the fattest in your environment before you need to lose weight. You might be slim and yet unfit. How would you know you are not healthy even though everyone around thinks otherwise. Read below 10 ways to know you need to burn that fat today

1. It's just uncomfortable to exercise.
Like it or not, physical activity is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. But if your weight holds you back, weight loss could make moving way more fun, which will ultimately help you stick to any fitness goal.

2. Your snoring could wake the dead, and you constantly wake up groggy.
If you snore like crazy and rarely get a good night's sleep, you may suffer from sleep apnea, a condition in which irregular breathing disrupts your sleep. Excess weight can bring it on: When your body stores fat around the neck, it can narrow the airway to cause shallow breathing or pauses in breathing.

3. You have tender spots everywhere.
Inflammation can make the fatty tissue beneath your skin feel tender to the touch, kind of like spotty bruising. If your BMI is especially high, and you feel pain in random places, weight loss could help, Dr. Nwe says.

4. You're tired. (All. The. Time.) Internal inflammation caused by excess fat can lead to a perpetual state of fatigue, Dr. Nwe says. If you have an elevated BMI, and routine tasks like grocery shopping exhaust you, your extra pounds could be the culprit.

5. You're pretty much always hungry — even though you eat plenty.
Of course, this could be a sign that you're eating the wrong foods, like candy, which lack the fiber, protein, and healthy fat that keep you full. But it could also be a sneaky symptom of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes — especially if you've had an elevated BMI for years, plus blurry vision, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet, extreme thirst, or unusually frequent pit stops, according to the American Diabetes Association. Over time, excess weight can trigger these conditions, while weight loss can reverse them. (Obviously see your doctor for a formal diagnosis though.)

6. Your doc says you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Dr. Nwe says weight loss can bring these numbers down without medication, which is safer, cheaper, and more sustainable than popping pills forever.

7. Your waist circumference is greater than 35 inches.
Not to put a hard-and-fast number on health, but science suggests that excessive belly fat can increase your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Dr. Nwe says that people distribute weight in different places and that waist circumference alone isn't the most accurate way to assess health. But if your BMI is elevated and your waist circumference tops 35 inches (grab a measuring tape and exhale as you hold it just over your hip bones to check), chat with your doc to see if you should consider sizing down for health's sake.

8. You lost a grandparent or parent to cancer.
Excess fat can produce excess estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer, and other kinds of hormones that may promote tumor growth, according to the National Cancer Institute. A family history of cancer can increase your risk from the get-go. While there's not much clinical evidence to prove that weight loss can protect you entirely, many observational studies have linked lower weight gain during adulthood to an overall lower cancer risk.

9. Your knees, hips, and back hurt.
Excess weight can put extra pressure on the joints, which wears down the tissue around them and makes moving uncomfortable, according to information from the National Institutes of Health.

10. You've gained a few pounds every year since before you can remember.
When you're growing, it's normal to gain weight over time. But if your weight continues to soar after your height peaks, your doc may recommend behavioral changes to steady the scale and avoid all the sucky symptoms above.

And if you think you need to lose weight for your health? Definitely get a second opinion — We can help you make realistic tweaks to your diet and lifestyle to promote steady, healthy weight loss over time and maintain the results for good.

Consequences of Over Weight

healthsecretspg@gmail.com (Aboloye Omotola) — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 09:19:00 -0700

The latest WHO projections indicated that at least one in three of the world's adult population is overweight and almost one in 10 is obese. Additionally there are over 40 million children under age five who are overweight.

Being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on health. Carrying extra fat leads to serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis, and some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon). These conditions cause premature death and substantial disability.

What is not widely known is that the risk of health problems starts when someone is only very slightly overweight, and that the likelihood of problems increases as someone becomes more and more overweight. Many of these conditions cause long-term suffering for individuals and families. In addition, the costs for the health care system can be extremely high.

The good news is that overweight and obesity are largely preventable. The key to success is to achieve an energy balance between calories consumed on one hand, and calories used on the other hand.

To reach this goal, people can limit energy intake from total fats and shift fat consumption away from saturated fats to unsaturated fats; increase consumption of fruit and vegetables, as well as legumes, whole grains and nuts; and limit their intake of sugars. And to increase calories used, people can boost their levels of physical activity - to at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days.

To easily achieve the this you can partake in our F.I.T. Program; to enable you build the foundation for looking good and feeling better, built new muscles, tone and transform starting with just 9 days depending on your weight.
