What causes diabetes varies according to the type – such as type 1 or type 2. But, overall, diabetes can lead to excess sugar in the blood – which can be a serious health problem. In 2021, 6.7 million people died, worldwide, from diabetes-related health concerns, according to the International Diabetes Federation. However, people tend not to think about the risk of diabetes or how to manage it until they have abnormal blood sugar. But, as they say, prevention is better than cure. The Power of Bitter Melon in Diabetes Management So, which odd-looking, oddly tasting fruit can promote insulin secretion to help type 1 diabetes and reduce insulin resistance to help type 2 diabetes? The answer is #bitter melon, a staple in many Asian diets. But when do we need to be careful about eating it? On Vital Signs , host Brendon Fallon covers simple lifestyle changes—from how we sleep to how we eat—to stave off diabetes. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the potential benefits and risks of incorporating bitter melon into your diet. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Krydder og urter er veldig spennende. Det setter ikke bare god smak på maten, det er også godt for helsen vår. Vi har undersøkt litt, og innen Ayurvedisk medisin blir krydder og urter mye bruk. Ikke bare til å helbrede sykdom og smerte, men også forebyggende. Ayurveda er en indisk tradisjonell medisin. Det antas å være det eldste helhetlige helsesystemet som også praktiseres idag. I ukens podkast har vi tatt for oss noen av disse krydder/urtene. Kanskje er det noen her som er nye for deg. Kanskje blir du inspirert til å teste noen nye og teste nå i romjulen? Vi går igjennom: Ashwaganda, Boswellia, Triphala, Brahmi, Spisskumin, Gurkemeie, Lakris Rot, Gotua Kola, Bitter Melon og Kardemomme. Hvor finner vi disse krydder/urtene? Vi deler tips og oppskrifter på hvordan du kan bruke disse. Håper dere finner et nytt krydder dere vil teste og nyt romjulen, biohackers. Del gjerne episoden med noen du tror kan ha glede av den.

Nina Mingya Powles is a writer and zinemaker from Aotearoa New Zealand. In this wide-ranging reflection on writing her memoir and travel diary Tiny Moons, she discusses trying (and failing) to become more Chinese in Shanghai, the language of the body, and the politics of the untranslated. 'I want to intentionally decentre English as the main language and decentre Western ideas about Asia and Asian languages ...' In 2018, Nina was one of three winners of the Women Poets' Prize, and in 2019 she won the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize for Nature Writing and the Landfall Essay Competition. She is also the founding editor of Bitter Melon苦瓜, a very small press that publishes limited-edition pamphlets by Asian poets.

As well as poetry, Nina is a zinemaker, essayist and the founding editor of Bitter Melon , a very small press that publishes limited-edition pamphlets by Asian poets. She's currently back in Aotearoa to launch Magnolia . She reads from the collection, and talks with Lynn Freeman about some of its themes.. Magnolia is published by Seraph Press, and it's shortlisted for the 2021 Mary and Peter Biggs Award for Poetry as part of the Ockham Book Awards.

Denis Stewart discusses the remarkable herbs meadowsweet and bitter melon.

Nós hoje vamos falar a respeito sobre o bitter melon ou melão de São Caetano, uma fruta medicinal anti-diabética que também tem efeito anticâncer ! Voce que é diabético sabe a angústia que é receber a notícia que tem uma doença incurável e que encurta a vida, além de ter que tomar remédios o resto da vida. E se eu te disser que existem várias plantas naturais que podem ajudar, e que se forem associadas a mudanças profundas na dieta e atividade física regular; existe uma chance de fato real de reverter essa doença ? Veja bem que eu disse reverter e não curar, porque o retorno aos velhos hábitos farão a doença retornar, isso é inevitável. No canal eu já falei de várias dessas plantas, não deixe depois de explorar, de fazer a pesquisa com os termos "Alain Dutra" e "diabetes". Eu mesmo já reverti dezenas de pacientes do diabetes e da escravidão do uso prolongado de remédios com muitos efeitos colaterais, ao trocar por medicina de estilo de vida associado ao uso de extratos de plantas como essa que eu vou te contar agora. Então eu te convido a permanecer nessa live até o final para ter acesso ao um conteúdo que vai ter um valor incrível para você ou para alguém que você ama. Vai valer muito seu tempo. Você já parou para pensar como tem muitas pessoas que passam pela vida escravas das indústrias alimentícia e farmacêutica e nunca ficam sabendo de coisas tão valiosas como você vai aprender agora ? É um privilégio para mim abrir seu olhos para as possibilidades naturais. Embarque comigo nessa jornada.

This week, we dig into Frank Oz's 1986 cult classic musical LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS with a very fitting guest--musician and film director of the 2018 feature BITTER MELON and writer/composer of 2006's COLMA: THE MUSICAL, H.P. Mendoza. We discuss how LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS left an indelible imprint on how H.P. both watches and creates movies, immigrant exceptionalism, our shared warm feelings for Rick Moranis, the genius of Ellen Greene and a host of other similarities between host and guest. Also, growing up Catholic, how certain media is coded as "queer" in ways that frighten and excite us and frequent diversions into Oscar races of years past between two Academy Award nerds. This one was an absolute joy to record. Enjoy!Follow H.P.

After coming off it she has experienced unreal hormonal swings, PMS that is amplified, and two full periods this month separated by only a week. She's wondering if something in the adaptogenic herbs may have caused her hormones to go haywire when I stopped taking them. She is currently trying to get pregnant so this weirdness is kind of putting a kink in the works. She's been to an ob/gyn and had a pelvic exam and other tests and found nothing. ~ In my response, I refer to TianChi.

Do you think it even works? ~ In my response I list: 1. Oysters 2. Cold Showers 3. Any nitric oxide, citrulline or arginine blend, or dark chocolate/red wine. 4. Kamagra: www.FasterKam.com www.KamagraFast2.com 5. Heavy Lifting and/or Sprinting + Avoiding Chronic Cardio 6. The right bike seat. 7. Avoid porn. 8.

Does it mean that he has more testosterone in his body? Should he be worried about it converting to estrogen? Carlos asks @ 01:08:15 He is experiencing bad allergies this year from pollen. Is wondering if you have any recommendations for natural products or vitamins that will help with allergies. ~ In my response, I mention www.naet.com, Sinus Buster, and this post on asthma that I did with Dr. David Minkoff.
