You may be following your healthy diet plans, but do you still have high blood sugar spikes?  If so you may be shortening your life despite the healthy diet plans.

Even if your weight is ok and you follow healthy eating guidelines most of the time, but eat big meals, lots of beer or other binges you may be shortening your life. 

Repeated blood sugar spikes stress the organs that make up the metabolic system in your body.  As I talked about in a previous post this all takes its toll on your body and things start to breakdown and wear out.

You could live symptom free for years yet be in a pre-diabetic state and think you are following your healthy diet plans. 

You can lose as much as 50% of your pancreas function and feel no symptoms

Those with pre-diabetes have the same risks as those with full diabetes and you may not even know it.

Even though you are following healthy eating guidelines or healthy diet plans most of the time try to analyze how many binges you have with large amounts of sugary food or beer.  Determine that number and try to cut it in half.  The less sugar you consume then less sugar stress you put on your body and the longer it will function properly.

I would REALLY love to get your thoughts on this one. It’s pretty out there!

Check out this story on Artificial Meat. Yes, you read that right. Scientists are now working in labs to create artificial meat.

Now on the surface it seems ludicrous. I know when I first saw it I immediately thought, "there’s no way in hell I’m eating artifical meat!"

But what about World Hunger? What if your choice was to eat Artifical Meat or nothing?

Seriously, I’d love to know your thoughts. According to the article this "meat" could be on store shelves in 5 years or so.
