[📚Thursday Recharge] Diabetes 101 ➕ The Cancer Connection ➕ Solutions

Also Inside: Cedarwood essential oil… Thursday, Sept 1, 2022  Happy Thursday, {NAME}!  It’s officially September, which means summer is just about over and autumn is sneaking up fast (we’ve already had a few leaves coming down at our house). It’s also been 83 years to the day since Germany invaded Poland marking the official start of World War II.  Sadly, nearly 300,000 Americans lost their lives during that global conflict. But here’s a fact you may not know: Over 600,000 Americans die every year from cancer. That’s more than DOUBLE the number of lives lost during all of World War II! Another 88,000 lives are lost each year to diabetes – and that’s just in the United States.  We spent a tremendous amount of time researching diabetes, and discovered a real connection to cancer. In fact, there was so much information that we had to break it up into a 3-part series all about diabetes and cancer. Part 1 explains what diabetes is, Part 2 teaches you why diabetes is a major risk factor for cancer, and Part 3 outlines how to combat diabetes and keep your body cancer-free.  Lot’s to read, and all of it worthwhile…  Let’s dive in!  Part I - What is Diabetes?  Diabetes refers to a group of chronic, or long-lasting, health disorders seen in people who have high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Diabetes causes more deaths in the U.S. every year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Further, having diabetes nearly doubles the chance of having a heart attack and raises the risk for developing many other health conditions, including stroke and cancer.  It is estimated that 84 million U.S. adults – more than 1 in 3 – have a health condition known as prediabetes, and most don’t know it. In prediabetes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes raises the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.   >> [Diabetes & Cancer | Part I]( <<   Part II - The Diabetes-Cancer Connection  For more than 50 years, clinicians have been diagnosing some of their patients with concurrent diabetes and cancer. In the 1960s, a link between these two diseases was identified based on population studies. A meta-analysis conducted in 2009 concluded that some cancers do develop more commonly in patients with type 2 diabetes and that "diabetes and cancer have a complex relationship that requires more clinical attention and better-designed studies".  Specifically, having diabetes raised the risk of liver, pancreas, and endometrial cancer by about twofold or higher and cancers of the colon and rectum, breast, and bladder by about 1.2 to 1.5-fold.    >> [Diabetes & Cancer | Part II]( <<   Part III - Solutions  In Parts 1 and 2 of our 3-part series, we found out what the 3 basic types of diabetes are and some precursor conditions to watch out for. We also laid out some clear-cut, evidence-based correlations between diabetes and certain kinds of cancer. In this final installation, we dive into how lifestyle and diet contribute to diabetes and increased cancer risk.  There was a time when experts and the general population alike believed in a specific “diabetes diet.” Now we know that a healthy diet for diabetes is basically a low-carb, organic, non-toxic, non-processed, whole foods diet, with just a few tweaks.  If you have Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes, it is not a death sentence! Nor does having the condition mean you cannot enjoy life to the fullest. In most cases, it can be reversed naturally, by making healthy changes to improve your diet and live a healthier lifestyle overall.   >> [Diabetes & Cancer | Part III]( <<   Everything You Need to Know about Cedarwood Essential Oil  If you have ever opened a cedar-lined chest containing your family’s treasured keepsakes and mementoes, you’ve probably enjoyed the lovely aroma of cedarwood. It is traditionally used for wooden chests because it resists decay and has natural insect-repellent activity, protecting treasured keepsakes from harm. But cedarwood has a multitude of other wonderful benefits – inside a single bottle is a world of possibilities!  The aroma of cedarwood can be described as warm and woody, somewhat spicy, a little sweet, and delicious to breathe in. Cedar trees grow in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Algeria, and in the Pacific Northwest of America…   >> [READ ARTICLE HERE]( <<   “Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge.
