Take Charge of Your Diabetes or Ten Natural Ways to a Good Nights Sleep

Take Charge of Your Diabetes: A Revolutionary Plan for Reversing Your Symptoms and Preventing Complications of Both Type I and Type II Diabetes

Author: Sarfraz Zaidi

Though not all physicians are aware of the scientific advances that prove it, most diabetics can now avoid insulin injections and prevent or reverse the deadly complications of their disease. The key is treating the root problem-insulin resistance-instead of focusing on controlling blood sugar levels, an outdated practice that puts patients at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. Take Charge of Your Diabetes showcases the unique plan Dr. Zaidi has developed in treating thousands of cases of Type 1 and Type 2 successfully. Dramatically different from traditional treatment protocols, the program includes an easy-to-follow diet, a moderate exercise and stress-reduction plan, vitamin and supplement recommendations, and a prescription medication regimen that reduces the number of medications as time goes on instead of the traditional treatment model: stepping up doses as diabetes progresses.

Ten Natural Ways to a Good Night's Sleep

Ten Natural Ways to a Good Night's s l e e p

Did you know that sleep is more critical in predicting lifetime longevity than diet, exercise, or heredity? Researchers have found that skipping sleep impairs your body's ability to repair and rebuild tissue, making you old before your time. Despite this, we live in a sleep-deprived culture. Many of us are so busy rushing, hurrying, pushing, and worrying that we cannot "waste time" sleeping, and if we do find the time to sleep, we are too stressed out, over-caffeinated, and uncomfortable. We would love to experience satisfying sleep but find that it consistently eludes us.
In Ten Natural Ways to a Good Night's Sleep, you will discover simple, natural solutions for achieving a lifetime of healthy sleep. By making small changes in lifestyle, diet, and patterns of thinking, you can bridge the gap between stressful and healthy living.
