Our Readers Speak Out

Wow!

Here we are, one week away from a great holiday here in the states.

I am so happy many of you took the time to write and share your comments about the entry I made yesterday. My intention is to integrate my daily experiences with this blog, so that was one I felt would help others. There are many entrepreneurs on this list who probably find themselves in similar situations from time to time. It's okay!

I had a fantastic time this week with my new project. It went well. We are having a great weekend.

Type 2 Diabetes has been a popular topic in the news lately. It seems to go hand-in-hand with obesity. This week, you can read about how a healthy diet and lots of exercise are the key to managing type 2 diabetes (not very many people are brave enough to talk about reversing completely yet).

Doctors now say that nutrition alone could prevent up to 2.5 million deaths from cancer. How's that for a reason to trade the fries for carrot sticks? As you begin to shed the fat, your waistline will do more than decrease. It will also help predict your reduced risk of heart disease. So when you tighten that belt to the next notch, go shopping for smaller jeans or drop that dress size, give thanks for having a healthier heart as well.

For those who still believe the myth that egg yolks should be thrown out because of their cholesterol, read this. I believe it is explained best in The Schwarzbein Principle. If I remember correctly, about 50% of the people who suffer heart attacks have normal cholesterol, and only a small percentage of people actually have their cholesterol go up from eating high cholesterol foods. Some people get high cholesterol eating a no-cholesterol diet because it's saturated fats and carbohydrates that can be turned into cholesterol, not just cholesterol that comes from food. I'm excited to see more people realizing that the cholesterol scare is more about the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry than it is your health. I'm excited that my mother-in-law found one of the best cardiologists in Florida and when her cholesterol started to rise, his advice wasn't to take a drug with horrendous side effects. Instead, it was to get more fish oil in her diet.

For some people, having bypass surgery is a wake-up call to begin living healthy. For others, it's simply a surgery and they go back to their old habits. Unfortunately, when those habits lead to obesity they also create an increased risk of arrhythmia.

Until next time,

Blessed be,

Jeremy Likness
