1 in 10 Canadians will have Diabetes by 2020
A recent article from the Vancouver Sun reports that more than 20 people in Canada are diagnosed every hour of every day with diabetes. 1 in 10 Canadians will have diabetes by 2020, by then the rising rates of this disease will cost the economy as much as $17 billion. Estimates show that 700,000 people do not even know they have the disease. Often those who are diagnosed are paying for medications and supplies out of their own pocket. It is becoming increasingly important to both prevent and manage this illness.
Preventing and Managing Diabetes
A study at the University of Manitoba shows that flax consumption lowered the blood glucose level in healthy young adults, as much as 28% overnight. You can try using Canagra Organic Flaxseed Oil or Exotica Flax with Acai Berry in your diet.
Another food used for managing diabetes are apples. The pectin in apples supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body’s need for insulin. Try snacking on Pure Fruits Apples, these freeze-dried delights have a long shelf life , so you don’t have to worry about your fruit spoiling while still getting all the nutrients of fresh fruit.
Another product that will help prevent and manage diabetes is Canagra’s Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil. Coconut oil helps in controlling blood sugar and improves the secretion of insulin, it also helps in effective utilization of blood glucose.
Research has also shown that consuming 1-2 teaspoons of cod liver oil daily can help to prevent serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, kidney problems, and high cholesterol. Studies have also shown that pregnant women who took 1 teaspoon daily of cod liver oil have a lower risk of giving birth to children with type 1 diabetes. Canagra’s Organic Cod Liver Oil with Natural Juicy Orange can help you avoid that fishy aftertaste.
