Pistachio Can Lower Blood Sugars

Munching a handful of pistachio nuts not only makes for a great snack but also a healthy one because it lowers the blood sugar level by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates in the body, a study said Tuesday.

"Pistachio, when eaten with high carbohydrate food items like white bread, may actually slow the absorption of carbohydrates in the body, resulting in a lower than expected blood sugar level," said a statement on a study conducted by the University of Toronto.

The Amazing Bitter Melon

Bitter Melon is the English name of Momordica charantia, a climbing vine whose leaves and green fruits, although bitter, has been used to fight cancer, diabetes and many infectious diseases. Some people say that it is also a powerful weapon against HIV/AIDS. There is cases where it is proven that it can lower blood sugar levels from people suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. Results of these scientific studies that determine the effect of drinking of bitter melon extract on blood sugar level of Type 2 Diabetes have consistently shown that bitter melon lowers blood sugar level. The effect on blood sugar is due to momordicin, a substance that is also responsible for it's bitter taste.

What L-arginine did for me

L-arginine is an amino acid that has numerous functions in the body. It helps the body get rid of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed. L-arginine is used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. I found that L-arginine used in small doses will help to keep my arteries in good shape.

Years ago I had an episode of Angina and was rushed to Hospital. I ended up with a stent in my coronaries and doctors told me that I would need heart medication all my life. I took those medications for over 1 year but my body started to complain...of course that being a strong believer in Divine Healing I prayed daily for my condition. I then began a research and tested small doses of L-arginine. Under medical supervision I stopped taking heart medications and it has been over 4 years that I am completely healed from my heart condition. Recent cardiograms show that I have an heart of an athlete and though I am very careful with my health I am not paying for Big Pharma's plan of getting everyone hooked to their medications.

I take 80mg Aspirin for 3 or 4 months periods and then I stop briefly. Whenever I feel dificulty breathing at the first symptom I take 1 pill of L-arginine for 1 to 3 days and then stop. When I take it for more than 4 days it will cause discomfort in my chest.

L-arginine, together with a high dose of faith is my heart medication when I feel the arteries are getting clogged.I also found that small doses of L-arginine with bitter-melon tea will help lower sugar levels in my blood.

 

Please note that this is a personal research. It may not work for you and I am not responsible for any experiments you may do with your own health. I am not a doctor and I don't give medical advice
