The Hidden Evil of Halloween!

Dear Living Fuel Family,

Immunity should be first and foremost in our minds this season of cold and flu. Sugar is seemingly everywhere in society.  From “healthy” smoothies at the local gym to your favorite salad dressing, sugar is no longer the rare treat that it was just a generation ago.  Mountains of research clearly show that sugar suppresses the immune system, spikes insulin levels, slows the release of growth hormones, and triggers hunger, weight gain, and dental cavities, just to name a few of the ways that sugar can be destructive to your family’s health. 
  
Next Monday we “welcome” Halloween, the annual sugar and candy-fest that you can use as a “sweet” opportunity to teach your children lessons in health and nutrition.  With a little planning and strategic foresight and some practical tips in this week’s LivingFuelTV episode, you’ll help your kids manage their Halloween spoils, moderate their sugar consumption and impart some terrific nutritional good sense in the process and maximize their immunity!

Dear Living Fuel Family, 
  
Diabetes and blood sugar conditions such as insulin resistance and hypoglycemia are commonplace in the discussion of health in modern society.  We are barraged by products, magazines, websites and books that attempt to teach how to “manage” or “live with” your diabetes as if it was something you owned or cared for.  We’ve long taught that Type 2 Diabetes (formerly known as adult-onset diabetes) is reversible with diet and lifestyle changes.  And these same changes can radically speed your journey to Super Health and to your optimal body weight. 
  
Today on LivingFuelTV, Monica and I continue our special series on my book, The Super Health Diet: The Last Diet You Will Ever Need!  In The Super Health Diet, I explore the connection between blood sugar and weight optimization which we discuss today.  Discover how you can use strategies and tools from the diabetic “community” to help accelerate you to Super Health!

Is Sugar Essential?

Dear Living Fuel Family, 
  
150 pounds!  Would you believe that is the amount of sugar the average American consumes in a single year? 
  
Sugar was a special treat just one generation ago, a dietary micronutrient, but today has become a staple, a macronutrient, in the American diet.  Sugar is literally everywhere—in soft drinks, cookies, cakes, crackers, and most processed foods.  Sugar even lurks in the ingredient list of breads and often disguised in many “health” foods.  So, exactly what role should sugar play in your family’s diet?  Is sugar an effective workout fuel?  Is sugar really addictive? 
  
We answer these questions and more with elite strength and conditioning coach Andy O’Brien today on LivingFuelTV.

Sugar Smoothies to Super Smoothies

Orange Juice, Mango, Bananas, Electrolyte Mix, Turbinado, Honey

These are the ingredients in a “Stay Healthy” smoothie from a nationwide smoothie outlet that you would recognize.  While their brightly-lit menu board proudly displays these wholesome, all-natural, healthy ingredients, you must dig further to uncover the astonishing nutritional facts.  This “small” size (20 ounce) smoothie packs 465 calories, a stunning 108 grams of sugar, and just 1 gram of protein.  This is over 25 teaspoons of sugar, or the sugar in 2 ½ conventional soft drinks.  And these nutritional facts are the rule, not the exception for other smoothies marketed to “get energy”, “shape up”, or “trim down”.

Today on LivingFuelTV, host KC Craichy teaches us how to modify conventional smoothie recipes, transforming them from sugar-laden treats into nutrient-rich super meals.  Click on the graphic below to watch.

Despite messages we receive from conventional medicine, even Diabetic Living magazine (complete with enticing cover photos of cakes, cookies and other sweet treats), diabetes is a gravely serious diagnosis and should be treated as an emergency.  It’s a death sentence, but a sentence that you can reverse in the case of Type 2 diabetes, and manage in the case of Type 1 diabetes.  How?  By using information, education, and a steely resolve to not “live with” diabetes.  You’ll often hear diabetics refer to “my diabetes” as if they own it.  Let’s think and live differently!

Today on LivingFuelTV with KC Craichy, learn the important distinctions between pre-diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and now Type 3 diabetes.  Also, you’ll learn steps you can take today to help your body reverse diabetes or prevent you from becoming a diabetic statistic in the first place.

The five minutes you’ll spend with today’s episode may literally save your live or the life of someone you love.  Please consider forwarding this episode to a friend or loved one today.  Click on the graphic below to watch.
