Numerous studies in the past decade have shown clinical support for the use of omega 3 fatty acids supplements to assist in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. A study published in Nutrition and Metabolism is the first to show how omega 3 fatty acids play a role in metabolic processes with respects to blood sugar and fat processing; reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Professor Brier leads an international research team and indicates omega 3 fatty acids improve carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids helps to burn metabolic fuels (glucose and fat) better, and can regulate energy storage across different tissues.
?These findings are important because the aging process is closely linked with a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome ? a clustering of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and obesity,? says Professor Breier, Chair of Human nutrition at the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health at Albany.
Type 2 Diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions with nearly 26 million confirmed diabetics and 79 million pre-diabetics in the Unites States. Spending on diabetes will exceed $ 180 billion in 2012 according to US government statistics. A new proactive approach combining lifestyle modification and natural supplements with clinically proven ingredients is needed.
ProactiveLife (http://www.proactivelife.com) was founded in 2011 to help people living with chronic disease take control of their health. The approach incorporates community, lifestyle changes, and natural supplements which have been clinically proven to assist people with type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Support contains 2 grams of pure omega-3 fatty acids which can lower blood sugar naturally. Along with lifestyle changes including diet and exercise Diabetes Support is a new proactive approach to Type 2 Diabetes health. A Community of Experts has been created to share tips on healthy eating, proper exercise and provide the latest news on diabetes.

Manchester, NH (PRWEB) February 24, 2012
Integrity Health Franchises located in southern New Hampshire announces their new synergistic protocol for the treatment of type II diabetes. The program will be available to women living within 30 miles of the Manchester, New Hampshire area. The treatment protocol will last for 60 days and the program will cost $ 59.00, less than a dollar a day.
Participants in the program will receive specific exercise prescription and low glycemic meal planning along with behavioral modification coaching. Integrity franchisor and exercise physiologist Rocco Boulay states; ?The program will address the underlying conditions employing a practical approach that no only educates the individual but also provides a step-by-step solution to getting diabetes under control.?
Today diabetes has grown to over 26 million in children and adults in the United States, that?s over 9% of the population. These 2011 statistics report 19 million have been diagnosed and 7 million currently undiagnosed. To make things more urgent is the fact that there are over 79 million people who are considered ?pre-diabetic?. In other words, these people are on the way to becoming diagnosed diabetics.
The complications related to this epidemic are far reaching. Over 68% of the deaths of people with heart disease and stroke were related to diabetes. Adults 20 years and older with self reported diabetes have high blood pressure in 67% of known cases, or systolic and diastolic pressures of 140/90 mmHg or higher respectively.
Other conditions such as kidney disease, neuropathies, and limb amputations are common to those whose diabetes is neglected or left untreated. The cost of diabetes in the United States in 2007 reached a staggering $ 174 billion with direct costs of $ 116 billion and an indirect cost of $ 58 billion (including disability, loss time at work and premature deaths).
Integrity Health?s vision is to reach out to other health and fitness professionals nation wide and institute their education / treatment protocols for those suffering from this ?treatable? condition with a practical, economical approach.
Boulay concludes, ?It is difficult to make anyone accountable for a condition that?s main cause is attributed to lack of activity and poor food choices. When we provide our citizens with the education and tools necessary to reduce and eradicate this condition [diabetes] then, and only then will we be able to get this epidemic condition under control.”
Those interested in enrolling in the program or other health care providers may contact Integrity Health at 603-668-1001 for more information. http://www.integrityfit.com

Nitin Chhoda, a co-creator of the Fat Loss Ignition System (FLI) says, ?Diabetes complications can cause damage to eyes, feet, kidneys and the nervous system. It is designed to help people control glucose levels and lose weight at the same time.?
The Fat Loss Ignition system was developed by fitness professional, Arnel Ricafranca, in cooperation with well-known physical therapist, Nitin Chhoda. This program is helping users control insulin levels that govern how sugar and carbohydrates are utilized within the body, while liberating stored fat.
Foods are converted to glucose in the body, which is a form of sugar that utilized as fuel to power every activity that an individual performs, from sleeping to intense exercise. To convert glucose to energy, the body creates the hormone insulin. If there?s an insulin imbalance or absence, food isn?t utilized efficiently, it?s stored as fat, and can lead to diabetes.
The FLI system provides users with an extensive variety of recipes that aids in controlling glucose levels that can result in diabetes-related conditions ranging from heart attack and high blood pressure to kidney disease and blindness. The program ends unhealthy cravings and energy crashes that are often experienced by those with diabetes.
In FLI, there is no calorie counting required and the system removes toxins from the body that inhibits the loss of stored fat reserves. It accelerates the metabolism and exercises that facilitate fat loss are provided. When food is consumed is just as important as what?s eaten and the program helps users plan meal times that helps regulate insulin levels.
Users of the program receive a free calculator to show how much weight needs to be lost based on age, gender, height and body frame, the Fat Loss Ignition manual, and a quick start guide. Tips and information is offered to manipulate insulin levels with meal timing, and the Supermarket Survival Checklist walks users through healthy food choices. Also included are Exercise Cheat Sheets, a journal for tracking exercises, and an all-access family pass to the FLI Score Calculator.
With the Fat Loss Ignition system, Chhoda and Ricafranca have developed a way of regulating and manipulating glucose levels, a critical step in preventing and controlling diabetes and its many health complications. An added benefit of the FLI program is the ability to lose 10 percent of unwanted body weight in 28 days. The program helps detoxify the body, while stabilizing insulin and glucose levels for weight loss that?s easy and quick.

For 35 years, Hilton Head Health (H3) has helped thousands of Guests not only shed the pounds but lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and even manage their diabetes through its proven Healthy Lifestyle? Program.
Recent H3 Guest, Karen McCarty, is one of many who?ve benefited from attending H3. McCarty?s story is all too familiar among today?s society ? a sedentary lifestyle with poor eating habits, which led to gradual weight gain. After a recent visit to her physician where she was diagnosed with diabetes, she knew she had to make a lifestyle change and take charge of her health by managing the disease through diet and exercise.
McCarty participated in the H3 Healthy Lifestyle? program for three weeks and in that short time she lost 5% of her body weight and lowered her glucose levels so they?re now within the normal range. ?I was scared when my doctor told me I had diabetes and would potentially have to use an insulin injection and take medication for the rest of my life? says McCarty. ?I knew I had waited too long to start putting my health first and Hilton Head Health showed me exactly what to do?from food to fitness?in a manner in which I could understand and is easy for me to maintain while at home.?

San Diego, Ca (PRWEB) November 19, 2011
Firstat Nursing Services, a premier home nursing and home health agency in San Diego, CA is supporting American Diabetes Month by helping families understand the different types of assistance available to them when looking for help in caring for seniors with diabetes.
Diabetes is a serious disease. If it isn?t managed, it can damage many parts of the body, leading to heart attacks, strokes, amputation, blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage. But there is good news; diabetes complications can be prevented or delayed by properly managing blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Eating healthy, being physically active and quitting smoking can also help lower the risk of diabetes complications.
?People can often control their condition with regular exercise and a good diet. Unfortunately, some diabetics are physically unable to endure rigorous activity and maintain a steady weight,? said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.
Due to the changes in kidney and liver functions as we age, seniors seem to be more susceptible to low blood sugars. Common causes of low blood sugar for seniors include not eating enough during meals after taking insulin, waiting to eat meals or skipping meals altogether.
At Firstat Nursing Services, we are trained to care for seniors with diabetes. To help families understand their in home nursing care options, Goodrich outlined the three levels of care.
