Forum: Welcome to Healthy Living

The incidence of diabetes throughout the world is increasing at near-epidemic proportions. If you are lucky enough to be free of the disease,it means you are following some healthy living methods. Let's share what we fortunate ones are doing: exercising regularly are avoiding sugary foods are two of the most important activities you can do. How do the rest of you make wise choices when eating out? During the holiday season when unhealthy food is everywhere and oh-so-tempting? When you get a craving for a chocolate bar or a Sundae?

In a large majority of cases, lifestyle is suspected to be the cause of diabetes, however its onset is sometimes for no apparent reason.

Since Rice is a staple food in our country, its never gone in the dinner table but I heard that rise can also heighten the risk of getting diabetes... How true is this??

I'm trying to cut down on the amount of white rice I buy. I really don't like brown rice that much. I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts about wild rice?

How Diabetes and Gltathione relate to and affect one another?
Diabetes have high levels of oxidative stress, which b asically means tooo many free radicals and not enough antioxidants to neutralize them.
Diabetes also have low levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH).
The high levels of oxidative stress and the low glutathione (GSH) levels further complicates the diabetic state which leads to even higher levels of oxidative stress and even lower levels of GSH.
It would be beneficial for anyone suffering from Diabetes to increase their antioxidant supplementation. Glutathione, being the master antioxidant, would naturally be the best choice.
Furthermore, inflammation leads to and contributes to insulin resistance. Glutathione, on top of being the most powerful antioxidant, is also a powerful ant-inflammatory.
