www.encognitive.com Vitamin D importance in the prevention of cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. The purpose of this review is to put into perspective the many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk of many common and serious diseases, including some common cancers, type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Numerous epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to sunlight, which enhances the production of vitamin D3 in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, sunlight supplies most of our vitamin D requirement. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the metabolite that should be measured in the blood to determine vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and who do not receive vitamin D supplementation and in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or limit their outdoor activities. Vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. A new dietary source of vitamin D is orange juice fortified with vitamin D. Studies in both human and animal models add strength to the hypothesis that the unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency worldwide is a contributing factor of many chronic debilitating diseases. Greater awareness of the insidious consequences of vitamin D deficiency is needed. Annual measurement of serum 25 …

Diabetes is of three main types – insulin-dependent diabetes or the Type 1 diabetes, Non-insulin dependent diabetes or the Type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes mellitus.

A person’s eating habits and viruses can cause Type 1 diabetes. Heredity, obesity, high blood pressure, and lack of proper diet cause Type 2 diabetes, which is very common.

Renata Nyleve Editor of the “How To Reverse Diabetes” website — http://www.HowToReverseDiabetes.org — pointed out;

“…The gestational diabetes mellitus is caused as a result of heredity, increased maternal age, fatness and more reasons. It may cause the mother to develop permanent diabetes. This characteristic may get transferred to the child at a later age. There are certain symptoms with the help of which you can detect diabetes. Excessive urination, constant thirst, loss of weight, excessive starvation, nausea, extreme tiredness, infections, irritability and tiredness are some of them…”

The importance of insulin comes to light when a person suffers from diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that allows blood sugar or glucose to enter body cells. Diabetes affects a person’s capability to make insulin. Due to diabetes, the glucose remains in the blood itself. This high rate of sugar in the blood may cause harm to your eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart and blood vessels.

Other than heredity reasons, you can easily avoid Type 2 diabetes by following some simple steps. For those people who are overweight, reduce the rate of consuming food. Overweight people have the risk of developing diabetes. Try to consume grilled or baked food instead of fried food. Cut down on fatty meals. While having food, check its Glycemic Index. While drinking milk, opt for the skimmed milk instead of the full-fat milk. Exercise is a very effective way, which ensures that you stay in a healthy way always.

“…It is best to cure diabetes before it attacks your health. To cure diabetes, it is important to know its symptoms. Extreme thirst not only after exercise and a stroll in the hot air, but always, is a symptom. Even after drinking water, if you have a dry mouth, if you have to urinate frequently, if you have unexpected weight loss, and you feel lethargic all the time, check with a doctor. It could be a symptom for diabetes. Blurry vision, slow healing cuts and sores, extreme itching or soreness in the genital or yeast infection can be the other symptoms of diabetes. It is best to cure it before it develops fully and affects your body…” R. Nyleve added.

Dr. Brad Silver, an endocrinologist who focuses on diabetes, talks about the fact that type 2 diabetes can be prevented by healthy eating, exercise and weight loss. Visit BlueKC.com for more information.

In the recent years, diabetes has become the most common disease all around the world. It is so common that even young children are very well familiarized with this disease and even they can tell that it has something to do with blood sugar levels. Some physicians believe that diabetes is hereditary while others believe that anyone can become the victim of this vicious disease. It has now become a global menace and there are awareness programs and walks conducted all around the world to let people know about the disastrous effects of this illness on the patient’s health. It is better to take precautions than falling prey to this horrible suffering.

This is the reason why world health researchers have joined hands in finding more clues about the causes, symptoms and cures for this disease. This is basically what pathophysiology means. The basic meaning of pathophysiology is to monitor and study the changes that occur in the normal biochemical, physical, biological and mechanical systems. These abnormal changes may occur due to some disease or illness. Thus, pathophysiology explains the symptoms, causes and effects of this disease.

Diabetes is sometimes more specifically called diabetes mellitus. There are three main types of diabetes present throughout the world. Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common of all these types of diabetes. Type 1 and type 2 differ slightly in their causes and effects. Type 2 diabetes is also called “insulin resistant” diabetes. The factors that might trigger any one of these types in an individual might differ but the major symptoms usually remain the same.

According to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, it may occur because of insulin resistance in the patient’s body. Insulin is the natural agent that helps the body cells in the absorption of sugars present in blood. Once absorbed, the body cells then use these sugars to provide the much needed energy to the body. In this way, insulin becomes an important factor in regulating blood sugar levels. But sometimes, due to any reason whatever, the pancreas stops producing enough insulin or the body develops a resistance towards its presence and no matter how much insulin is present in the blood, the body does not absorb blood sugars.

The causes of this insulin resistance are most of the times not clearly known but research shows that excess of simple carbohydrates in the patient’s diet constantly keep the blood sugar levels on a high. To absorb this entire sugar, pancreas produces a lot of insulin and over a matter of time body stops reacting to such high levels of insulin. The symptoms of all the three types of diabetes are the same such as hyperglycemia. Other type 2 diabetes symptoms include excessive weight loss, unexplained hunger, frequent thirst and urination, tiredness and irritability. Due to the dangerous nature of the disease, it is better to know about it early so a doctor can prescribe the suited diet, exercise and medications.
