Blood Sugar Roller Coaster Ride

An Urgent Men's Health Update, From: S.A. Nickerson, Health Correspondent

Unfortunately, millions of people — perhaps even you or a loved one — have already strapped in on the blood sugar roller coaster ride.

In fact, government statistics indicate that 79 million adults over age 20 suffer from blood sugar levels in the high normal range.

Here's the good news: these elevated blood sugar levels are not quite high enough to indicate a medically diagnosed condition and are, fortunately, still in a range that can be treated naturally.

And what do government health agencies and most doctors recommend for these elevated blood sugar levels?

Well, losing weight and increasing physical activity, of course . . .

Great ideas . . .

. . . and essential to help keep your blood sugar from continuing the spiral ride upward!

However, noted holistic health expert Dr. David Brownstein has another secret to share with you — some extra natural support to help keep your blood sugar in the normal range.

So what's this natural 'secret' to getting off the blood sugar roller coaster ride?

That's a great question — and Dr. Brownstein will have an answer for you in just a few minutes.

So I'd urge you to pay close attention to this free report.

Because Dr. Brownstein is an expert when it comes to natural treatment for blood sugar concerns.

Perhaps you recognize Dr. Brownstein. He's a renowned medical doctor and also the medical editor of the popular newsletter Dr. Brownstein's Natural Way to Health. He's also a noted speaker, and author of numerous best-selling health books.

And today, he's agreed to share his best natural health strategies and secrets for keeping your blood sugar in the normal range (and off the roller coaster).

So let's get started.

First, it's important to know where you are on the blood sugar roller coaster ride. Or if you're even on the ride at all . . .

Going Up the Blood Sugar Roller Coaster

Perhaps surprisingly, the majority of folks with blood sugar concerns don't even realize it. Even when the signs are clear.

Here are just a few signs to look for when recognizing high blood sugar spikes:

• Feeling sluggish after eating — like you need a nap . . .
• Food cravings, even after eating (especially fatty, sweet, or starchy foods) . . .
• Feeling generally tired or fatigued during the day . . .

And as you probably remember from school, what goes up must eventually come down . . .

Going Down the Blood Sugar Roller Coaster

When your blood sugar drops lower than normal, you may:

• Feel anxious, impatient, or irritable . . .
• Or feel jittery, shaky, even lightheaded . . .
• Crave snacks between meals . . .
• Need to eat NOW . . .

If you see yourself or someone you care about on either or both of these roller coaster rides, it's time to get out of the amusement park.

And it's important to realize that every person is on a different ride.

Some folks may experience predominantly spikes, while others take the gut-sinking ride down most frequently. Still others may swing wildly up and down — again and again.

Wouldn't Life Be Better Without the Roller Coaster?

Fortunately, you now have a great option to keep you off the roller coaster — a powerful doctor-developed, all-natural solution to help maintain your blood sugar in the normal range that you take as part of a healthy diet.

And it comes with many other benefits, too, as you'll see shortly.

But before I tell you about this discovery, it's important to understand why and how you get on the roller coaster in the first place . . .

What Causes Your Blood Sugar to Spike and Dip?

There are some critical reasons why your blood sugar can take you on a roller coaster ride . . .

REASON #1: Perhaps your cells are no longer as sensitive as they should be to insulin, which carries the sugar (or glucose) from your blood to your body's cells. This is known as “insulin sensitivity”.

And unfortunately, your insulin sensitivity naturally decreases as you age. Every time your body's cells become exposed to insulin, they become a bit less sensitive. You can't stop this process as you grow older, but you can help control its rate.

I've been talking a lot about insulin. So in case you don't really understand what insulin does — or how important it is — here's a brief explanation . . .

Insulin is a hormone essential for regulating your carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It's produced by beta cells in the islets of Langerhans inside your pancreas.

Insulin causes cells in your liver, muscles, and fatty tissues to take in glucose from your bloodstream and store it in your liver and muscle in a form known as glycogen — for more long-term use.

So now that you can see how crucial insulin is, how can you help it do its job better, particularly as you age?

Well, your body really needs to get the sugar out of your bloodstream more effectively and into the cells where it belongs — where it can do the work it was designed to do.

And of course, it would be great to increase the number of insulin “binding sites” on your body's cells so they can improve their insulin sensitivity.

And even help support the health of your pancreas.

But let's take a step back to the roller coaster for a moment . . .

REASON #2: For many people, sugar's journey from the food you eat to your bloodstream happens far too fast, overwhelming your natural insulin production. This is especially true when you eat food with lots of simple carbs, including baked goods, pasta, potatoes, and white rice.

And let's just consider your sugar intake for a second . . .

Do you know how much sugar the average American adult eats per day?

Here's a hint: The recommended amount is about 6-9 teaspoons per day.

But according to the American Heart Association, the average adult in the U.S. consumes over 22 teaspoons of sugar each day!

That's over twice the recommended amount. So obviously you should cut back on your sugar intake, but what other kind of help do you need to combat this sugar roller coaster issue?

Well, besides eating fewer high simple carbohydrate foods, you could also use something to slow down the sugar transport from food as it moves through your intestines and into your bloodstream.

Dr. Brownstein took both these reasons into account when he developed a highly effective natural solution for healthy blood sugar. A solution you'll learn about later in this report.

But let's get back to insulin. Because insulin is the key to help unlock your healthy blood sugar levels.

And not only that, but insulin also:

• Has a dramatic effect on your energy levels (wouldn't it be great to recover
  that youthful energy you once had?) . . .
• Correlates directly to your overall health and vitality, especially as you age . . .
• Helps maintain normal blood lipid levels, including your cholesterol levels . . .
• Helps maintain muscle tissue (especially important with the muscle
  deterioration we experience during the aging process) . . .
• Helps manage sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone . . .
• And that's just the tip of the iceberg . . .

If you think I'm exaggerating the importance of insulin, I can assure you I'm not.
Here's proof . . .

How Important is Insulin to Your Life (and Lifespan)?

Scientists have been busy studying centenarians, people who live to be 100 years or older.

While it seems contrary to what you'd expect, some of these people smoke like a chimney — or drink like a fish. Some are sweet as can be; others are downright ornery. Some eat well and exercise, while others are not exactly role models for healthy living.

So why do they live so long?

Here are the common factors researchers have discovered about centenarians, as reported by medical expert Dr. Ron Rosedale:

• They have relatively low insulin levels . . .
• They have relatively low blood sugar levels for their age . . .
• They have low triglyceride levels for their age . . .

So, according to Dr. Rosedale, if there is a single marker for lifespan as noted in these centenarian studies, it's insulin — specifically insulin sensitivity.

That's why it's so important to maintain your blood sugar in the normal range!

Because the roller coaster ride of blood sugar elevation may actually . . .

Make You Old Before Your Time

Too much sugar or glucose in your blood reacts with certain blood proteins to create “AGEs” — Advanced Glycosylation Endproducts.

Sounds funny, but these AGEs are related to the free radical theory of aging. Certain scientists and holistic physicians believe AGEs are related to accelerated aging throughout your body — and that's not so funny . . .

These AGEs along with increased free radical production cause damage to your body's cells and systems.

This is why you need an abundance of antioxidants in your system at all times to combat this accumulated damage.
