More Info
Mulberry Extract contains an effective alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitor. In the digestive tract, this enzyme prevents complex carbohydrates, starches, maltose and sucrose from breaking down into highly absorbable glucose molecules. Mulberry also contains other compounds that improve blood sugar control.
Mulberry Extract provides significant antioxidant effects indicated by reducing the amount of free radical damage to red blood cell membranes.
High Cholesterol
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in North America. High Cholesterol contributes to heart disease when the fatty molecules build up on the inside of arteries. This leads to a decrease in the flexibility and elasticity of the walls. As the artery becomes narrower, decreased circulation leads to high blood pressure because the body struggles to maintain enough blood flow to its tissues. Pieces of the cholesterol plaque can break off or the turbulent flow of blood can cause clots to form. If the pieces or clots lodge in smaller vessels this leads to heart attack or stroke.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, improper diet, stress and lack of exercise contribute to your risk of developing high cholesterol and heart disease. It is encouraging to note that adopting a healthier lifestyle and using natural therapies can maintain a healthy vascular system.
Cholesterol is not all bad; it is the amount and the ratio of the various forms of cholesterol that are a health concern. LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol is fat that is being transported from the liver for use by your cells. It is commonly called bad cholesterol. HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is called good cholesterol because it is fat that is being taken unused cholesterol from your cells back to the liver, where it is broken down. Cholesterol levels are unhealthy if you have lots of circulating LDL, not enough HDL or a combination of the two.
Dietary cholesterol is different than the serum cholesterol mentioned above. Although eating foods that are high in cholesterol does raise serum cholesterol levels the liver is responsible for making cholesterol when needed. Thus a cholesterol reduction plan should include a low cholesterol diet with other treatments to help to reduce serum cholesterol. Genetics also plays a role in high cholesterol.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Blood sugar regulation, diabetes and pre-diabetes... some of the most asked about conditions since I started writing for National Nutrition. I may sound like a broken record, but ... there really are so many lifestyle and dietary interventions, as well as some well studied plant based products, vitamins and minerals, that can either complement traditional medications like Metformin, help to lower these doses or even better, prevent a need for them at all. The bad news? These things are life long changes that wont effect blood sugar levels overnight... and they will require some hard work and dedication from you. Are you ready?
Obesity is causally linked to Type II Diabetes. If you are going to take only one thing from this article, take the following message: Exercise and weight loss can prevent and, in large part, reverse diabetes. In individuals who are at high risk, diagnosed pre-diabetic or found to have impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, weight loss can prevent diabetes and reverse these diagnoses. It can also provide significant support for individuals already diagnosed with type II diabetes, by increasing insulin sensitivity, lowering the need for medication and most importantly reducing diabetes related mortality.
These effects seem to be largely irrespective of genetic background or family history. When you factor in that diabetics have an increased risk of myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease and stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and nerve damage, a little (weight) loss is well worth all that is gained. Effective and sustainable weight loss needs to include both caloric restriction and exercise. Some data is showing that as little as a 4.2 kg loss for an average of 3.2 years can reduce progression of Type II diabetes by 50%.
