Touted as a “silent killer”, diabetes is among the top causes of death worldwide. In fact, according to the IDF Diabetes Atlas published by the International Diabetes Foundation last November 2011 and quoted by international organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the World Economic Forum, diabetes affects a staggering 366 million people globally. This number is expected to reach 552 million by 2030. What’s even more alarming is that the
Diabetes has many health risks
Diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood resulting from inadequate production of insulin by the body. Glucose that is found in the blood is a sugar that comes from the food that we eat. This is why our blood sugar rises after eating. It produces and provides energy to the cells in the body. Insulin is a hormone that plays a vital role in increasing the efficiency of cells to absorb glucose from the blood. In diabetes, there is either a lack of insulin, or the cells become resistant to its own insulin. Therefore, insulin cannot help blood glucose enter cells, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
The disease poses a huge health risk because over the years, if left untreated or managed, high blood glucose levels damage the nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, gangrene, kidney disease, and nerve and immune system problems.
Dr. Cricket Chen recommends reflexology as complementary treatment to various ailments such as diabetes.
Foot reflexology and diabetes
The combination of the wonders of modern science and the proven natural healing benefits of time-tested treatments prove to be helpful in addressing diabetes, as well as other diseases. One of the most popular natural methods that many doctors prescribe as complementary treatment to various ailments, including diabetes, is reflexology. Dr. Marcelle “Cricket” Palanca Chen is among a number of doctors who believe in and advocate the healing effects of reflexology. She specializes in Pediatrics, sub-specializes in Natural Medicine, has been practicing medicine for the past 10 years, and is affiliated with St. Luke’s
“What’s wonderful and beneficial about reflexology as complementary treatment to diabetes is that it naturally revitalizes, activates and strengthens the cells, glands and organs of the body. It helps remove blockages and improves the flow of energy in our bodies, allowing physical effects to be felt soon after. With these valuable benefits, reflexology helps diabetics, as well as patients with other diseases, attain a better overall quality of life.” Dr. Chen also recommends for diabetics or those prone to the disease to adopt a healthier lifestyle, limit sugar intake, exercise, detox, and be stress-free, as well as watch one’s diet and weight.
Studies that prove and laud reflexology continue to increase. Data from the Reflexology Association of Connecticut (RACT) entitled Reflexology Footnotes: Diabetes and Reflexology, which came out in January 2007, revealed that reflexology stimulates the pancreas and liver, thereby aiding in the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. It also reduces blood sugar level fluctuations. Reflexology is a holistic treatment that can effectively heal vulnerable organs. What’s more, reflexology has been proven to help alleviate stress and tension, which cause many health problems.
Another study, which was conducted by the China Reflexology Association among patients with type II diabetes, has proven that with the help of reflexology, patients showed a significant improvement in their overall health, in the blood circulation in their feetand in their body’s natural energy flow.
The Reflex Zone: The Center for Wellness
The Reflex Zone, a natural therapy center in the Philippines, exclusively offers the world-renowned RwoShur Health Method of Reflexology, an all-natural treatment that seeks to bring about numerous health benefits through the healing hands of extremely well trained licensed Physical Therapists. The RwoShur Method combines centuries-old knowledge with thorough research and the actual findings of its founder, Father Josef Eugster.
The RwoShur method can heal many ailments. It works safely and naturally to break down and remove toxic deposits by stimulating different reflex points on the feet to encourage healing. Pressure applied correctly on points found on the arches in the soles of the feet can aid in the long-term treatment of diabetes while stimulation of certain points on the upper areas of the top of the feet and lower areas in front of the ankles can contribute significantly to addressing immune system and lymph gland disorders.
The Reflex Zone is located at the G/F Narra Building, 2276 Pasong Tamo Ext.,

Remember Everything in MODERATION is one part of the secret to a Healthy Life.
–You may already know and practice most or all of the following info:
If You do Great good for You.
The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar Consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
Reasons for sleeping and waking up early.
Evening at 9 – 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).. This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health
Early morning 1 – 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 – 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 – 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick.
Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 – 10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don’t sleep late.
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2.. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time conditions are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ‘schedule.’

There are so many products and methods being offered out there for weight management!! The very popular one I hear nowadays is the Cohen program
Previous entry: ReNew Me by Cohen Lifestyle Center November 7, 2011
Just like anything else, there is always one that will suit your taste, your preference
And here is another one from my friend, Weng! I told her to tell her story herself since she is a living testimonial of this program. Not only do you lose weight but you look 5 to 8 years younger! WOW! 🙂
I used to way 110 lbs. in my college days until I got typhoid fever. I feared drinking tap water because I did not want to get sick again, so I took bottles of Mountain Dew a day, at least 3 a day during my internship. I started to gain weight then. By the time I graduated from college, I weighted 115 lbs. For my height, 4’11” I was already overweight. But I thought to myself, it will be easy to lose, just 5 lbs.
I was wrong, the weight kept adding, until I weighed 130 lbs. I looked older than my age, and was less active. I started having joints pains and worst of all almost lost my mobility. The heavy therapy kit that I carry to work plus my extra body weight damaged my lower back, and I was bed bound for at least a week. The doctor told me I was overweight and even classified me as “clinically obese” .”Obesity” scared me, and I did not want to lose my mobility. So I got into the gym. In the beginning it was fun and rewarding. By the 3rd month I plateaud and I lost interest in going to the gym. I lost some weight, from 131 lbs. to 128 lbs. Sad but true. Then I continued dieting trying different methods, my best effort gave me 116 pounds. I was happy, but still wanted to lose some more, hoping to regain my body state when I was in college, 110 lbs. My desire to be healthy and slim again, when a weight management coach from Hongkong came to Philippines. He scanned me with his Omron Karada Scan, which showed that my body was 3 years older than my actual age and that I have 5 layers of visceral fat ( fat in the body organ, hard to get rid of and deadly, too). He told me about the TRA, or The Right Approach.I got into the 3-month program, followed the program and the result I got was terrific. I never thought I would have a flat tummy again. With the program I achieved it, and have sustained it. I have completed the program 7 months ago and I still have the same slim body. NO REBOUND!!

With people looking for healthier lighter alternatives to whipped cream, this is great recipe Whip It recently developed and I wanted to share it with you as an alternative topping to whipped cream.
needed:
· 1 L whip-it! ™ whipper
· 2 whip-it! ™ n20 chargers
· 700 gm of plain yogurt (greek style is recommended for best taste)
· 250 ml of whole milk or 2% milk
· sweetener (optional)
· flavoring (optional)
directions:
· blend all ingredients (this can be even done in a simple bowl and whisk) *make sure yogurt and milk are cold
· pour into whipper
· close and charge with (2) n20 chargers
· shake and dispense!
For those with 500 ml whipper simply halve the quantities of all ingredients and use just 1 charger instead of 2
The yogurt is a great tasting, much lighter and healthier option as it comes out very foamy and smooth, and it’s a very unexpected yet pleasant variation on eating yogurt.
top anything you would top with whipped cream like waffles, cakes, cookies, ice cream, fruits, frappes, natural artisan sodas etc. also, this is even more versatile than whipped cream as it goes great with cereal, birchli, nuts, as a complement for Mediterranean and Indian foods etc!
*We have noticed that the yogurt topping is not a stiff as the whipped cream so it presents differently. It’s recommended to use less milk if you want a stiffer topping-but this will take some trial and error as too little milk will make the yogurt get stuck in the whipper and not dispense.
