I've got this forwarded message from a friend silvagerry2000  and i thought i'd like to publish it.. Be Careful when eating apples Please don't eat the skin of the apple because it's coated with wax. Check before you eat many of the fruits. WAX is being used for preservation purposes and cold storage. You might be surprised especially apples from USA and other parts are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Becox wax is coated, preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry. We all love to eat apple so better if we cut and peel off the skin before eating it or Eat Apples after removing the wax as shown in the picture. 

Restful Sleep

am not feeling well for several days now. I  had  sleepless nights because of this terrible cough. Anyways, let’s talk about the benefit of restful sleep. SLEEP is priceless. During sleep, our body secretes hormones that repair and regenerate tissue throughout our body. Sleep may be helpful in reinforcing our memories. A healthy body falls asleep easily. If you have trouble sleeping, chance s are your body and mind are not in sync. If your sleep is full of restless dreams, your mind is restless as well because in deep sleep, your mind also goes to sleep. Regardless of your sleeping habit try to have as much restful sleep.

Restful sleep allows the body to replenish its energy reserves and repair itself.

DEaling with Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is typically recognized in adulthood, usually after age 45 years. It used to be called adult-onset diabetes mellitus, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that affects the way your body uses food for energy. The disease develops when the cells of the body become resistant to insulin or when the pancreas cannot make enough insulin. Step one Consult a doctor and go for regular appointments. Most doctors want to see diabetics once every three months they use this appointment to do blood work and make sure the patient is doing their part in dealing with diabetes. The blood work is used to check cholesterol and blood sugar averages this is determent by a test called A1C. These levels are important for the doctor to know if medication or medication adjustments are needed. Also the doctor can send you to classes on how to deal with diabetes I highly recommend these classes. They cover diet, exercise and personal care. They also cover all the different types of medication you may be on and what they do. Most classes also cover glucose meters and how they are used, the one I went to even provided meters if you didn't have one. Step Two Diet is another important step; amazingly I learn in those classes that a diabetic diet doesn't really exist basically it is simply a diet that every one should follow diabetic or non-diabetic. What the diet is about is counting the amount of carbs we eat there is a level for each meal for men it is 4 carb choices for ladies it is 3 choices each choice is made up of 15 grams of carbs each. Also all meals should be balanced having mostly vegetables and some protein and some carbohydrates. When you eat carbs and proteins together it slows the speed in which you body turns the carbs to glucose and instead of getting a quick sugar high it rises slower and doesn't even get as high. The object being to have a small wave in blood sugar levels instead of a quick spike. Step 3 Exercise can decrease the risk of heart disease, which is common in older people and in people with diabetes. Exercise is good for everyone, including people with diabetes. It's also an important part of diabetes treatment because exercise can improve your body's response to insulin, help you lose extra body fat, and get your heart and lungs in good shape. Exercise, a low-sugar diet and losing weight may reduce the risk of diabetes later in life.
