One Natural Method to Ward Off Three Health Disasters
Nuts and seeds like cashews, pistachios, and walnuts often get a bad rap for their high fat and calorie content. Yet, they are among the best foods for igniting metabolism and controlling hunger. Even better than that, nuts and seeds can help protect against three major diseases.
Unlike sugary snacks, nuts and seeds do not spike blood sugar or the fat-storing hormone insulin. Why is this important? As insulin surges into the blood, it removes two anti-aging substances - growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor. Worse, excess blood levels of insulin lead to obesity, heart disease, and Type II diabetes. So choosing snacks - like nuts and seeds - that keep your insulin in check can actually help ward off these three health disasters

Very true. Another good point to make is that the fat in nuts is “healthy” fat. Dr Hotze recommends getting some “healthy” fat everyday.
What do you think about the Fiber One bars? They are so good I wonder how truly healthful they are.

Nancy! PLEASE go read my Free Learning section at www.thepeopleschemist.com!
Has anyone been learning anything on this blog? If it tastes sweet spit it out. If it comes out of a package or window spit it out. Fiber One bar is fat fertilizer. Its loaded with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and many other nasty things that I can’t mention due to utter frustration…

You warn about high blood pressure meds–how do you wean yourself from meds such as ToprolXL when the pharmacists warn not to stop because (l) you could ie and (2) if you are successful, at some point your pressure will shoot “sky high” again and you end up taking an even HIGHER dose to contol it! What are people to do?
