Better Meal-Planning With The Glycemic Index Health Tool: Basic Health Information About The Glycemic Index Which Includes A Glycemic Index Food Chart With A Listing Of Low Glycemic Index Foods And High Glycemic Index Foods To Help You With Meal-Plannin $3.99 What is the glycemic index? How can it help in managing weight loss, diabetes and heart disease?The glycemic index, or the GI as it is commonly known, is a health tool that’s used to measure the effects of carbohydrates in blood sugar levels. It is a table that consists of a list of different foods and their equivalent rating as to how fast and how slow they can raise blood sugar levels. The rating scale is from 0 to 100 with high glycemic foods rating high numbers. So, glucose, for instance, which is the fastest carbohydrate, has the highest rating of 100. What this health tool indicates then is that foods with a high glycemic index will increase the blood sugar levels rapidly and foods with a low glycemic index will raise blood sugar levels slowly.It is a very helpful tool especially for people who are managing diabetes and heart disease. It is used as a guide to help measure carb count and calorie count in order to formulate a diet plan which will correspond to the person’s physical activity, diet restrictions and overall lifestyle. This is critical for people with heart disease because measuring carb count and calorie count is essential for fat metabolism and weight control. This is also critical for people with diabetes because measuring carb count in the diet will help monitor and maintain blood sugar levels more effectively. This book has information that will explain how the glycemic index tool can be used correctly. |

While the “glue” of cardiac rehabilitation is exercise, programs are evolving to become comprehensive prevention centers where all aspects of preventive cardiology care are delivered. This includes nutritional therapies, weight loss programs, management of lipid abnormalities with diet and medication, blood pressure control, diabetes management and stress management. |

Complete Guide to Nutrition in Primary Care $6.32 The aim of this book is to assist PAs and all primary care clinicians as they incorporate nutrition into routine patient care. The book will cover nutrition assessment and therapy for the most common medical conditions seen in the primary care setting. With the epidemic of obesity and its associated consequences, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer, clinicians need to be able to assess and counsel patients about their diet and lifestyles on a daily basis. Despite this need, however, nutrition education has been lacking in medical schools and residency programs. The result- most PAs (all primary care practioners) who treat patients every day are inadequately trained in nutrition, and lack the information their patients want and need. Studies also document that patients want their practioners to advise them about nutrition therapy, vitamin and mineral use, information on popular weight loss diets, and “natural” weight loss supplements. The Complete Guide to Nutrition in Primary Care will provide the necessary tools to accomplish this training, allowing primary care practitioners to provide up-to-date, practical information to their patients. |

Diabetes Without Drugs: The 5-Step Program to Control Blood Sugar Naturally and Prevent Diabetes Complications $34.99 Based on breakthrough studies, Cohen’s program reveals how people with diabetes can reduce their need for prescription medication and minimize the disease’s effect on the body. Most doctors consider diabetes a one-way street—once you have it, your only option is to manage the symptoms with a restricted diet, close monitoring of blood sugar, and expensive medications. Pharmacist Suzy Cohen shows that diabetes can be treated instead through safe, natural means, like food and vitamins, rather than strictly relying on prescription drugs. She shifts the focus away from glucose management to a whole body approach, using supplements, minerals, and dietary changes to lose weight, repair cell damage, improve insulin function, and reduce the side effects from prescription drugs, many of which rob nutrients from the body and cause additional symptoms.  This 5-step program uses natural alternatives, such as drinking nutrition-packed green drinks, adding vitamin D and anti-inflammatory supplements, increasing fiber intake, and including minerals in the diet to help restore the body’s own supply of insulin. Diabetes without Drugs explains how patients can protect their heart, kidneys, eyesight, and limbs from the damage often caused by diabetes and shows the impact that the right foods and the right supplements can make in reducing blood sugar levels, aiding weight loss, and restoring vibrant health to everyone with diabetes.  |

Here, whether she is highlighting the latest news on phytochemicals or explaining why new lab studies suggest that tomatoes and broccoli work together to reduce prostate growth better than either vegetable alone, she not only details the best foods to eat and why—but also shows how to utilize the most nutritious food combinations and turn them into tasty everyday meals the whole family will enjoy. The book features over 40 delicious recipes, a 2-week menu plan for weight loss, and all the information anyone needs to use food synergy to lower the risk of high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, and stroke the natural, drug-free way. |

Got Teeth? a Survivor’s Guide: How to keep your teeth or live without Them! $6.57 Your heart beats quickly, your knuckles clench, and your palms sweat. First date? Job Interview? No. The receptionist just called your name and asked you to have a seat – in the DENTIST’S CHAIR!Every sight, sound, and smell triggers haunting childhood memories. For those who have had unpleasant experiences in the dentist’s chair, the anticipation of each visit can be debilitating – and the reason why dental visits are put off until the point of no return.With over 75% of the population suffering from gum disease in varying stages, we are faced with difficult choices and sometimes – no choices: 1-1/2 million people each year get dentures.Periodontal disease can contribute to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pre-term low-birth weight babies, stroke, and more. With notes and quotes from dental professionals, Section One may help you keep your teeth and improve your health.In Section Two, Saundra delivers a blunt and sometimes humorous (sure, she can laugh now!) account of her life-changing experience with periodontal disease, bone loss, and tooth loss. Her story sheds light on the stages of shock and devastation of realizing your teeth are leaving you, and learning to accept their replacements.Got Teeth? A Survivor’s Guide walks you through it – step by step – from “HOW did this happen to ME?” to “WHY didn’t anybody tell ME?” Her answer? “BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT!”I was blessed! I read Got Teeth? at the very time I was awaiting surgery to remove all my natural teeth! If it were not for Saundra and her keen wisdom about adapting to change, I would have gone in blind because NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. Armed with this knowledge andknowing which questions to ask made all the difference in the world. I recommend this book to anyone facing dental trauma, or especially if someone you love is dealing with it.Linda S.Please visit gotteethguide.com |

How Fat Works $21 An experimental pathologist and molecular geneticist, Philip Wood uses gene-knockout technology to study the way mouse genes regulate the metabolism of fat—research that provides insights into the workings of fatty-acid metabolism in humans and what can happen when that metabolic balance goes awry. Based on the classes he regularly teaches to first- and second-year medical students, Wood’s book reviews the individual and public health burden of obesity and clarifies often-used, but often inadequately explained, terms employed in the continuing cultural and scientific debate about excess fat. He explains the role of fat in the healthy body, how fat is made, stored, and burned, and demonstrates how excess fat can lead to an array of metabolic disorders and diseases, from hypercholesterolemia and insulin resistance to diabetes. He reviews what recent research can tell us about specific genes or groups of genes that can lead to specific metabolic disorders. He explains the science behind common weight-loss regimens and why those regimens might succeed or fail, and reviews the complex interplay of hormones, genes, and stress in the way our bodies deal with fat through the life cycle. How Fat Works is a concise, clear, and up-to-date primer on the workings of fat, and essential reading for professionals entering careers in medicine and public health administration or anyone wanting a better understanding of one of our most urgent health crises. |

Lactate, a novel marker of disordered energy homeostasis in the metabolic derangements of obesity. $49.99 Background. Type 2 diabetes is a major public health problem as a result of the growing obesity epidemic. Accumulating evidence suggests that decreased oxidative capacity may play a central role in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and, perhaps, hypertension. However, clinical research on oxidative capacity as a mediator of obesity’s physiologic effects has been limited by the absence of a simple, noninvasive technique to measure oxidative capacity. We considered plasma lactate as an indirect indicator of insufficient oxidative capacity among obese and type 2 diabetic subjects.;Methods. We first analyzed plasma lactate among 40 obese subjects with the metabolic syndrome (Ob-MS), 40 obese subjects without the metabolic syndrome, and 20 lean controls. Change in lactate and other metabolic factors were assessed among 40 Ob-MS entered into a very low calorie diet weight loss intervention. We then examined the association of plasma lactate and type 2 diabetes among 2066 older adults participating in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Carotid MRI Study. Stratified random sampling was utilized to oversample subjects with plaque and maintain generalizable inferences to the ARIC base-population.;Results. In our first analysis, lactate was two-fold higher among obese compared to lean participants. Following significant weight loss among Ob-MS subjects (mean = -14.7 kg), change in lactate remained associated with change in diastolic (p=0.024) and mean arterial ( p=0.04) pressures after adjustment for change in body mass index. In the second analysis, lactate was independently associated with markers of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and diabetes treatment, particularly in whites. The adjusted relative odds of type 2 diabetes among whites, rose with increasing lactate quartile: 1.84 (95% CI: 0.98, 3.45), 2.76 (95% CI: 1.50, 5.09), and 3.69 (95% CI: 2.06, 6.62).;Conclusion.

You will get answers to your questions, including risk factors of Chronic Pancreatitis, standard and alternative treatment options, leading doctors, hospitals and medical centers that specialize in Chronic Pancreatitis, results of the latest clinical trials, support groups and additional resources, and promising new treatments on the horizon.

The exocrine area of the pancreas produces digestive juices and the endocrine area makes hormones, such as insulin, that regulate how the body stores and uses food.Both functions are impaired by chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease that causes progressive, irreversible structural changes. Some persons develop diabetes and/or become unable to digest foods, especially fats. The lack of normal pancreatic enzymes adversely affects digestion and waste production. Abdominal pain is common, especially after eating. This illness can make stool bulky, fatty and odiferous (that’s “steatorrhea”), and can cause stones to form in the pancreas.In some 70% to 80% of cases, alcoholism is a factor, but other causes can include duct obstruction, nutritional factors and genetic abnormalities. About 30% of cases have no known cause. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, weight loss and steatorrhea. When symptoms are mild, no treatment is indicated. When needed, treatment focuses on pain control, relieving duct obstruction, correcting |

It was invented by Frenchman Michel Montignac (1944-2010), an international executive for the pharmaceutical industry, who, like his father, was overweight in his youth. His method is aimed at people wishing to lose weight efficiently and lastingly, reduce risks of heart failure, and prevent diabetes. Carbohydrate-rich foods are classified according to glycemic index (GI), a ranking system for carbohydrates based on their effect on blood glucose levels after meals. High-GI carbohydrates are considered “bad” (with the exception of those foodstuffs like carrots that, even though they have high GIs, have a quite low carbohydrate content and should not significantly affect blood sugar levels). |

Physical Exercise $59 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the “diseases of affluence” such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual’s sex appeal. Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease the effects of childhood obesity in developed countries. |

Prediabetes and Diabetes Prevention, An Issue of Medical Clinics of North America $83 This issue of Medical Clinics devoted to prediabetes and diabetes prevention belongs in the hands of every practicing internist, PCP, hospitalist, nurse practitioner, endocrinologist, and any healthcare provider who is concerned about the diabetes epidemic. The importance of this resides in our ability to prevent diabetes by early identification of individuals with a precursor condition termed prediabetes that affect 54 million adult Americans. This entity has grown globally over the recent decades paralleling the obesity epidemic. No country or region of the world is immune. Overweight and obesity affect approximately 60% of our population and children as well as adolescents are not spared. Approximately 13% of adolescents have prediabetes which has doubled since the year 2000. Both type 2 diabetes and prediabetes are preventable and reversible with lifestyle changes involving weight loss and exercise. This issue gives a historical perspective on diabetes prevention, examines its public health implications, and explores diabetes prevention initiatives. Essential topics covered include prediabetes definition, epidemiology, mechanisms of complications, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. Diabetes prevention trials and the economics of prevention are also covered. |

Role of FKBP51 and FKBP52 in glucocorticoid receptor regulated metabolism. $49.99 Glucocorticoids (GCs) are important regulators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, serving to antagonize the actions of insulin. As such, GC antagonists have held promise in the treatment of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Yet, widespread and potent side effects have precluded such usage. To identify new and selective targets of GC action, we tested the roles of FKBP51 and FKBP52 in glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-controlled metabolism using FKBP – ablated mice. FKBP51 and FKBP52 serve as GR co-chaperones and we show that loss of FKBP51 increases GR transcriptional activity, while FKBP52 loss decreases it. Using high fat diet (HF) as a metabolic stress, we have observed the following. In response to HF, no differences between WT and FKBP52 (+/–) animals occurred in body weight and visceral adiposity. However, high fat fed FKBP52 (+/–) mice became hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic and showed increased lipid accumulation in the liver. They also had reduced expression of GR – regulated gluconeogenic enzymes. We hypothesize that impairment of GR liver activity due to loss of FKBP52 decreases the expression of gluconeogenic enzymes, leading to substrate redistribution of pyruvate to de novo lipid synthesis and lipid accumulation. Increased lipid accumulation in the liver causes reduced insulin clearance and, ultimately, insulin resistance. In contrast, FKBP51 (–/–) animals fed HF did not become hyperglycemic. Instead, they were resistant to diet-induced obesity, with greatly reduced visceral adiposity under HF diet conditions. No difference was noted in the hepatic lipid accumulation of FKBP51 (–/–) mice on high fat diet. They had normal blood glucose and insulin levels with all diets, but did show low plasma triglyceride and free fatty acid levels under these conditions. Consistent with the phenotype, analysis of genes involved in the muscle lipid metabolism revealed elevated expression of CPT-1 and PDK4. Based on the results obtained so far, we are currently |
