The one and only 60-600mm zoom lens, able to handle every situation from standard to ultra-telephoto all by itself The SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports is an ultra-telephoto 10x zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras that covers a zoom range of 60-600mm, a range only available from SIGMA. It enables users to seamlessly capture scenes from close-ups to long distance shots without changing lenses, even in difficult situations such as air shows or professional sports events. Stable and high optical performance throughout the entire zoom range SIGMA employed the latest optical design to effectively correct chromatic aberrations that tend to occur in the ultra-telephoto range using a variety of high quality materials, including FLD and SLD glass elements. The lens is capable of capturing every moment with uncompromising high image quality in the unique focal length range of 60-600mm. The minimum focusing distance is 45cm at the wide end, and at the focal length of 200mm, the lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.4, allowing users to also enjoy the lens as a telephoto macro lens, adding to its overall versatility. High-speed AF owing to newly developed motor "HLA" to capture the decisive moment The autofocus of the SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports makes use of the newly developed linear motor "HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)". This high-output linear motor and advanced electronic control realize a quiet autofocus with unparalleled high speed and high precision. The new motor also enables high focus-following performance, ensuring that the decisive moment is not missed in sports photography and any other situation where the subjects are in motion, from motor vehicles to birds in flight.

How To Lower Blood Sugar Levels Naturally

Health Spotlight

The technical name of the disease called diabetes is diabetes mellitus. In fact this chronic disease is a combination of a group of diseases. The neat effect of the group of diseases is a rise in the blood sugar levels. Raising blood sugar level beyond certain normal values is detrimental to the body. Sugar or glucose is a vital source of energy for the cells. These cells make up the tissues and the muscles. Not only that, our brain also depends on glucose as its main energy source. But in this world everything has to be balanced. So is the blood sugar levels. Any disbalance in our body system disbalances the body and we fall into the trap of diseases. The experts after lots of investigation have come to the conclusion that not all the diabetes mellitus are of the same type. There are differences and on it depends the mode of treatment. So knowing the different types of diabetes is important preliminary information that we all must have before going deep into the topic. What is Normal Blood Sugar levels for type 2 diabetes for adult men and women 10 hours Fasting sugar level should be less than 100 mg/dl ( blood sugar fasting level from 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl is called Pre-diabetic level ) Blood sugar levels 2 hours after meal should be less than 140 mg/dl ( 140 mg/dl to 199 mg/dl is called pre-diabetic level ) Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes which we find in 95% diabetic patients. We would like to give below the topranking anti-diabetic supplements for type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes happens when the insulin sensitivity of the body is reduced; it means when the body is unable to use effectively the available insulin of the body causing raised blood sugar levels. Best supplements for lowering blood sugar levels naturally Glucoredi - World’s Best Blood Sugar Lowering Supplement Blood Sugar Optimizer Nature’s Velvet Lifecare Gymnema Sylvestr Ultra High Strength Berberine HCL Glucoredi Glucoredi is our expert’s choice among all other antidiabetic supplements on the market. The supplement has been formulated taking eleven different ingredients having potent antidiabetic properties. All the ingredients have been selected after a prolonged and exhaustive research of the herbal medicines collected from all the corners of the world. Each ingredient attacks the disease from different angles making a strong synergistic effect to treat the symptoms. The formulators of the supplement have taken special care so that all the ingredients are 100% of natural origin. Because the aim of making the supplement is to get rid of all the side effects of prescription medicines. Such supplements have minimal or no side effects. Secondly the supplement is a long term cure and prevention of the diabetes condition. Click here to visit GlucoRedi Official Website Ingredients of Glucoredi Gymnema Sylvestre Commiphora Mukul Licorice Mangifera Indica Asparagus Racemosus Momordica Charantia Pterocarpus Syzygium Cumini Shilajit Berberis Aristata Enicostemna Littorale Collection of the ingredients is a costly, laborious and hazardous process. But the officials of the company take all the pain in collecting the eleven ingredients of which 9 are to be collected from the dense forests and remote mountain ranges spread over seven regions of the world. They do not compromise on quality of the ingredients as well as the final product. About some of the main ingredients of Glucoredi Gymnema Sylvestre This popular antidiabetic herb has been collected from the Ayurvedic system of medicines. However due to its extensive and effective use as an antidiabetic medicine by a large population it attracted the attention of Western medical professionals. They have analyzed scientifically all the constituents of the herb. It was found that Gymnemic acid is the main and highly effective constituent of the herb having a strong antidiabetic property. Other chemicals found in the herb are gurmarin, tartaric acid, calcium oxalate, saponins and glucose. They have also analyzed the leaf phytochemicals and could identify the following compounds. Fatty acids both saturated and unsaturated, terpenoids, alkaloids and glycosides. The bioactives identified are blends of diversified phytomolecules. These are gymnemic acid, gymnema saponins, gymnemodises, gurmarin, gymnemanol, anthraquinones, hydroxycinnamic acids, stigmasterol, glycosides etc. Gymnema Sylvestre has the following advantages in tackling the problems of diabetes. It reduces the cravings for sugary food so that the sugary food no longer appeals to the taste buds of the users of the medicines. It enhances the production of insulin by the pancreas by rejuvenating its cells. It lowers the absorption of glucose in the intestines thereby lowering the blood sugar levels. It has an antioxidant property due to which it reduces the oxidative stresses caused due to the presence of free radicals in the body. The free radicals also damage cells including the pancreatic cells thereby decreasing the efficiency of the pancreas in secreting sufficient amounts of insulin to tackle the excess sugar in the blood. It also helps in reducing body weight. Being overweight or obesity is linked with diabetes. About 80% diabetic patients are found to be obese. Therefore reducing weight is also a means of tackling the diabetes condition. Gurmarin and gymnemic acid work in this respect by lowering the absorption of glucose in the intestine. The gymnemagenin contained in the supplement lowers the levels of bad LDL cholesterol and enhances the levels of HDL or good cholesterol. Commiphora Mukul It is widely known as Guggul. It is a resin-like gum that is secreted by the stem and the bark of the Commiphora Mukul tree. It has a wide range of health benefits and hence it has been included in the Ayurvedic system of medicines for thousands of years. The chief bioactive compound in Guggul is Oleo Gum Resin which is a mix of oil and a brownish fluid. The researchers claim that the therapeutic actions of Guggul is mainly due to the oleo gum resin. It attacks the diabetic disease by starting to reduce the weight. We now know that overweight and diabetes are closely connected to each other which is also proved by the fact that 80% of diabetic patients are also obese. Weight loss is initiated by improving the digestive fire of the stomach. Improved digestion removes all toxic substances that remain within the body after digesting foods. It improves the overall metabolism of the body. Glucose is properly burnt converting the glucose into energy providing an energetic body. By complete burning of the glucose it helps in reducing the body weight. The vitamin has a strong anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant properties. Due to these it helps in reducing pains and swelling. It is also used for the treatment of arthritis. It can regulate the lipid profile by reducing the bad cholesterol and enhancing the good one. The vitamin can be taken in three forms, powder, paste and capsules. The paste is applied in the joints mixed with some water for the relief from joint pains. Licorice This ingredient has been collected from the Chinese system of medicines. In China Licorice has been used for the treatment of high levels of blood sugar for two thousands years. After being interested with the herbal Chinese medicine for its remarkable beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes, the Western researchers became highly interested in the herb. Their intensive research could reveal that the therapeutic value of the Chinese herb is due to the following substances in it: five flavonoids, licorice extracts and three triterpenoids. The researchers who isolated these compounds from Licorice also on further research found that these have great antidiabetic effects. They also let us know the mechanism how these substances achieve their antidiabetic benefits. These are enhancing the body’s insulin sensitivity, effective burning of the glucose so that the glucose do not get deposited as fats, freeing the body from the harmful effects of free radicals and reducing oxidative stress which damages cells including the cells of the pancreas that promote insulin production and also by increasing the rate of microcirculation in the body. Mangifera Indica This is also an Ayurvedic medicine. It is made from the fruit mango and from the various parts of the Mango tree. The leaves of the Mango tree have a number of health benefits. The tender leaves of the Mango tree contain tannins called anthocyanidins. This constituent of the mango leaves make it helpful in the treatment of diabetes. For curing diabetes you have to boil 10 to 15 leaves and let it stand overnight. The next morning, drinking cold mango leaves water in an empty stomach twice a day would cure diabetes. It is beneficial for high blood pressure, weight loss, dissolving kidney stones and stomach issues. The mango fruit is a source of many vitamins, minerals and fibers. It is also a very rich source of polyphenols such as mangiferin, gallotannins, gallic acid, quercetin, isoquercetin, beta glucogallin, and ellagic acid. In addition to this the researchers have also identified 25 carotenoids. The carotenoids found in mango are lutein, provitamin A, alpha & beta carotene. The fruit is also a rich source of soluble as well as insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers can help gastrointestinal issues and prevent heart related issues. The bark of the mango tree contains amino acids, catechins, phenolic compounds and triterpenoids compounds. Due to the presence of these compounds the mango tree bark shows anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and immune system enhancing properties. Out of all the bioactive substances identified in the different parts of the tree, mangiferin is the most important one. It also contains enzymes named magneferin. The fibers and enzymes help the body to absorb vitamins and minerals whereas it becomes difficult for the body to absorb vitamins in isolation. In Ayurveda various parts of the mango fruit and the tree are used for many health benefits. It is an antiseptic, laxative, astringent, diuretic, digestive, and for expelling worms and parasites. Vitamins available in mango fruit Vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin K, Vitamin E, potassium, niacin. Minerals available in mango fruit Magnesium, riboflavin, thiamin, phosphorus, calcium, iron Shilajit It is an Ayurvedic medicine containing huge amounts of different important minerals. It is found in the Himalayas and is a gummy substance. It is formed after the decomposition of plants for a long period of time. It is very difficult to collect the pure variety of the medicines. It contains organic plant decomposed materials, humus and fulvic acid. It is a vast source of about 84 minerals which include iron, zinc, silver, copper and lead. Shilajit has a number of health benefits. It is a rejuvenator even improving sexual energy. This is particularly useful for diabetic related complications such as chronic tiredness, fatigue and lethargy due to diabetes. It is also good for cognitive performance like memory loss as well as anemia. Modern science has found the effect of the medicine in enhancing the energy to its constituent humic acid and fulvic acid. It helps the mitochondria to produce energy. Blood Sugar Optimizer The Jarrow Formula Blood Sugar Optimiser is formulated with an aim to regulate the blood sugar levels. This the optimizer does by reducing the cravings for sugar and by increasing insulin sensitivity of the body. The stress due to raised blood sugar levels and frequent energy crashes significantly swings mood and the result is unhappy life leading to reduced productivity. The benefits expected from blood sugar optimizer are Enhances insulin sensitivity Removes negative feelings by balancing hormones Regulates blood sugar levels Reduces cravings for sugar Ingredients Vitamin C Vitamin E Thiamine Niacin Vitamin B4 Biotin Pantothenic acid Magnesium Selenium Manganese Chromium Wild Bitter Melon Extract Gymnema Sylvestre Eucalyptus Leaf Oil Gamma Tocopherol Resveratol Banaba Leaf Extract DL-alpha lipoic acid The formulation of blood sugar optimizer is quite simple.

Berberis Aristata is wild harvested so that the plants are resilient and rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients. Other 14 ways to lower blood sugar levels naturally Regular Exercise Regular exercise is very important for the people affected by diabetes. The reason is very simple. In diabetes you need to lower your blood sugar levels. The easiest way to lower the blood sugar levels is by converting the sugar to energy. Regular exercise helps your muscles contract, needing energy which the muscles and the cells collect by converting the glucose into energy. In this way the sugar levels in the blood gets lowered. Secondly diabetes and obesity is closely linked which is proved by the fact that 80% of the people with diabetes are obese. Regular exercise is a sure way to reduce your weight as well as enhance insulin sensitivity. The more the insulin sensitivity of the body, the more is the ability of the body to effectively use the insulin for optimizing the blood sugar levels. You can also do one thing for checking the blood sugar levels before and after the exercise. Nowadays very simple methods of blood testing kits are available for instant checking of the blood sugar levels. By knowing the sugar levels you can determine the activities which are responding well in lowering the blood sugar levels. It will also help you to know when the sugar levels become too high or too low in order to take timely actions. Keeping yourself active and moving in intervals of at least 30 minutes of doing sitting work even for a few minutes will be beneficial. We recommend simple resistance exercise or light walking for a few minutes. Regular exercises can be brisk walking for 30 minutes or more, running, cycling, weightlifting, swimming etc. Choose the mode of exercises as per your ability. The point is to move away from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one. People who find it difficult to spare time at a stretch can even resort to shorter sessions. For example you may do 10 minutes of exercise three times a day. The experts recommend 150 minutes of exercise in a week. Restriction in the intake of carbohydrates Carbohydrates we ingest are a very important source of energy for our body. It is broken down into glucose after we eat. The insulin then takes care of the sugar by using it for energy in the cells and muscles as well as storing it in the liver as glycogen. But in the diabetic patients with low insulin sensitivity, the body fails to use the available insulin. It results in raised blood sugar levels. Hence for such patients it becomes imperative to restrict the intake of carbohydrates and manage it by sticking to measured amounts. Many studies have also shown that blood sugar levels can be effectively controlled by taking a lesser and measured amount of carbohydrates. By this step the patients can avoid sugar spikes. But some enthusiastic patients decide for no carbohydrate diet. This is completely the wrong attitude. You have to take carbohydrates but you should select carbohydrates such as whole grains instead of refined and processed carbohydrates. More intake of fibrous foods The diabetic patients must choose foods rich in fibers. The property of the fiber is to slow down the digestive process. Slow digestion means lesser sugar absorption and a better control of blood sugar levels. The fibers can be of two types: soluble and insoluble fibers. Studies have shown that soluble fibers are superior for the sugar control of the diabetic patients. The intake of fiber rich foods can even optimize the blood sugar levels of type 1 diabetes. There are standard values for the fiber intake recommended by the experts. 35 grams per day for men and 25 grams per day for women. Fiber rich foods are vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains etc. Keep yourself hydrated Many are of the view that keeping your body hydrated is one of the ways to control blood sugar levels naturally. If sufficient water is taken then there will be two benefits. Firstly it will keep the body hydrated and secondly excess sugar will be flushed out by the kidneys through urine. One thing is to be kept in mind that you have to take plain drinking water. Don’t use sweetened water or cold drinks. In that case the effects will be just the opposite. Devise some methods to restrict your calorie intake Restricting the calorie intake is not so easy as said. But for lowering the blood sugar level it is important to devise some method of controlling the intake of the right amount of calories. One of the ways is to adopt portion controlling measures. You can achieve this by the following routine Decide the portion size by discussing with your physician. Make some arrangement to measure the portion size at home. Adopt smaller plates while eating. Try to avoid eating at restaurants. Get the list of calories of different foods so that you can know the calories you are taking. Make a journal for noting down the measured amounts of portions for monitoring your sugar levels. Make a practice to eat slowly. Selecting foods with low glycemic index All carbohydrates are not the same. Some carbohydrates break down quickly while some others break down at a slower rate. The absorption of sugar depends to a large extent on the glycemic index of the food. The foods are divided into three categories as high, medium and low glycemic index foods. The experts have also made a ranking system scaling it down to 0 to 100. We call those foods of Low GI whose index are below 55. For the people with diabetes it is better to select foods with low GI. Low GI foods are slowly digested resulting in slower absorption of sugar thereby reducing the blood sugar levels. Some examples of foods with low GI: barley, oats, plain yogurt, beans, legumes, lentils, whole grains, non-starchy vegetables etc. Manage your stress and anxiety levels Stress and anxiety are the silent killers. We think it a mundane daily chore but it is not so innocent as it apparently looks. In fact when we are stressed the body responds in two modes: flight or fight. For both these above actions the body may need energy. So the body prepares itself by increasing the blood sugar levels. The body secretes hormones called cortisol and glucagon for accomplishing the job. The remedy is to resort to modern methods of driving away the stress. These are relaxation techniques, meditation techniques, breathing exercises, yoga and regular exercises. Regular blood test for monitoring the blood sugar levels Regular blood sugar testing has many advantages. Firstly you can know immediately when you are pre-diabetic and can take preventive actions for reversing the condition. Secondly you are able to monitor and control the sugar level by altering medicines as well as amount of insulin etc. You can avoid spikes in sugar levels that may cause damage to vital organs. By knowing the timely sugar levels you get the time to change or modify calorie intake, type of foods, exercise needs etc. If the levels permit you may even include a small amount of your favorite dish in your diet plan. Sufficient and fulfilling sleep Nature is clever enough to provide us with a mechanism to recuperate and rejuvenate ourselves through sleeping. This is the time when the body gets enough time for reconstructing and repairing cells, muscles etc. as the night sets in and the sunlight disappears the body secretes hormones to induce sleep. But with the rush towards more and more comfort we have started to ignore these fundamental needs of the body giving rise to heaps of diseases. Nature retaliated and we have started to understand the importance of sleep. We must understand that a sound and quality sleep of seven to eight hours is essential for a healthy living. Lack of sleep and proper rest causes imbalance in the system and becomes a reason for diabetes.type 2. You will be surprised to know that lack of sleep increases appetite and there often remains a risk of weight gain which again is linked to diabetes. Lack of sleep also causes raised secretion of cortisol hormone that plays its role in raising blood sugar levels. Following methods may be followed to improve the quantity as well as quality of sleep Don’t deviate from your sleep schedule Don’t take stimulating drinks such as alcohol and caffeine before going to sleep Follow regular healthy exercise schedule Don’t look at mobile or other screens at least from an hour before going to sleep Listen to light music in dark room May use calming light scents Bed room must not be working room If possible you can take a bath before going to sleep Meditation and relaxation also helps Eating chromium and magnesium rich foods Researchers have found that some minerals such chromium and magnesium have roles to control blood sugar levels. The deficiency in these minerals may lead to diabetes. Chromium is a necessary mineral for the metabolization of carbohydrates and fats. It also increases the insulin sensitivity thus helping optimize the sugar levels. The examples of foods rich in chromium are, whole grain products, meats, fruit, nuts, vegetables etc. Similarly magnesium too has beneficial effects for the diabetic patients. It has been found in clinical studies that the people on foods rich in magnesium are less prone to diabetes. Also people with deficiencies in magnesium have been found to have lowered insulin sensitivity. Examples of foods rich in magnesium are, leafy vegetables, pumpkin seeds, whole grains, tuna fish, bananas, avocado, beans etc. Some specific foods and supplements may help Lots of research is going on to find the various beneficial effects of plants and foods so that we can be remedied without using chemical drugs that have many side effects. The results are coming out to be excellent. The experts have found the following foods and supplements made from herbal materials to be antidiabetic: Apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, berberine, fenugreek seeds etc. Such and many other herbal compounds are available in one place in the antidiabetic supplements available on the market. These supplements contain all the potent natural ingredients and have remarkable antidiabetic properties. Glucoredi is one such supplement which is very popular and gives excellent results in controlling diabetes and reversing pre-diabetic conditions. Keep your weight in control Keeping a moderate weight is the best way to keep the diabetes away. The experts are finding some link between weight and diabetes. This apprehension has arised from statistics that show 80% of all diabetes patients are obese. Researchers have conducted tests which have confirmed that even if you are able to minimize your weight by 5% the capacity of your blood sugar regulation improves requiring less medications. Reducing weight is also beneficial in reducing the HbA1C levels which is another sure way of checking the condition of diabetes. Taking frequent smaller meals This is another good way of tackling diabetes. This will surely avoid the risks of sudden spikes in blood sugar levels which can even damage organs. Frequent snacks in between the meals minimizes the risk of occurrence of type2 diabetes. Several small snacks between meals also enhance insulin sensitivity and simultaneously lower blood sugar levels. It reduces HbA1C levels which is an index of lowered blood sugar levels. Taking foods rich in probiotics Probiotics are nothing but bacteria that are friendly to our body. In fact we do have such friendly bacteria in our guts that helps us in digestion. Researchers have shown that probiotics have a role in reducing blood sugar levels. Examples of probiotics are yogurt, pickles, kimchi, kefir etc. Conclusion From the detailed discussion on diabetes and its causes and various ways of remedy given above we find that the age old proverb still prevails: prevention is better than cure. We have given a large space on this topic and tried to give you glimpses of various ways by which you can reverse, control as well as prevent the occurrence of diabetes. Along with those 15 ways of attacking the menace called diabetes mellitus, we would strongly recommend the supplement Glucoredi. This supplement has been formulated by famed experts and nutritionists collecting potent 100% natural ingredients from all the corners of the world. The supplement contains 11 natural herbal ingredients. 9 ingredients are sourced from 7 different regions of the world traveling dense tropical forest and unapproachable mountain ranges. The supplement can be taken for prevention, reversing as well as controlling the blood sugar levels. Visit GlucoRedi Official Website About the disease diabetes mellitus The medical name of diabetes is diabetes mellitus. It is a group of diseases, the neat result of which is raised blood sugar levels. Our body is a perfectly balanced machine. Any slightest imbalance in any part of the body makes us ill or exposed to serious ailments. There is a check and balance mechanism in all our systems but even that system sometimes gets affected. So when due to many complications our blood sugar levels start rising, the body tries its best to cope up with the balances. But everything has a limit. When the sugar levels surpass the limit which has been designated as the normal blood sugar levels then we start feeling the bad effects. It starts with weakness, lethargy, chronic fatigue, restlessness and abnormal weight loss. If we do not take any corrective actions the sugar levels go on rising and start attacking various organs of the body such as veins & arteries, heart, kidney, nerves, eyes etc. the situation becomes alarming that may even become fatal or damaging to the organs. So it is imperative for everyone to go on checking their blood sugar levels in intervals under the guidance of a physician. Also some basic knowledge about this widely spreading disease is going to be helpful for the people so that they can take preventive steps and take timely required steps to control the disease. Types of diabetes Diabetes has been categorized into four broad types, though the main types are only two. Type 1 diabetes: this is a chronic diabetes condition when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin for neutralizing the excess sugar of the blood. As we know that our body produces insulin with the help of islet cells of the pancreas. The production of insulin is controlled by the brain as and when the blood sugar levels tend to increase. This check and balance system of our body keeps the blood sugar levels within its normal levels. But if for some reason the cells of the pancreas fails to produce required insulin. Then the sugar levels start increasing in the blood leading to pre-diabetic and Subsequently diabetes disease. The only treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin Injection. The amount of insulin to be injected depends on the severity of the disease. But the good news is that this type of diabetes is very rare. Only 5% of All the diabetes patients are affected by type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes: this is the prevalent type of diabetes found in 95% of diabetic patients. This is caused due to the body’s incapability to effectively use the available insulin so that excess sugar can be taken out of the blood. As a result sugar starts accumulating in the blood gradually rising above normal values eventually leading to type 1 diabetes. Lots of medicines are available on the market such as Metformin etc which are prescribed by the doctors for lowering the sugar levels. Gestational diabetes: in some cases the blood sugar levels are raised during pregnancy that often gets normalized after the delivery. Such a temporary kind of raised sugar level is called Gestational diabetes. Pre-diabetic levels are those cases where though the blood sugar levels are raised but not so much as can be bracketed with the diabetes patients. This is the time when the condition can be reversed by a restricted diet, regular healthy exercises and healthy lifestyles. If people can regularly test their blood for sugar levels under the advice of a physician, it is possible to arrest the progression of diabetes and reverse the condition. 100 to 125 mg/dl is the prediabetic level. Symptoms of diabetes Irrespective of the type of diabetes ie, type 1 and type 2 chronic diabetes cases, the symptoms are alike and as follows: Chronic weakness A feeling of too much thirst Frequent urge to urinate Weight loss without any apparent reasons Irritated mood and mood swing Blurry vision Taking more time to heal a wound What is the role of glucose and insulin Glucose is sugar that happens to be the source of energy for our body functioning and hence a very important substance for our healthy subsistence. There are two sources of glucose from where the body can source its requirements of glucose. These are food and the liver. Liver stores glucose for emergency uses. Say when you have taken any food for a long time the blood is starved of sugar. At such times the liver becomes active and supplies sugar by breaking down the glycogen. In such a beautiful check and balance system our body keeps us safe during exigencies. When we eat, the carbohydrate breaks down into glucose. This glucose then enters the bloodstream. Insulin produced by the pancreas helps the glucose to enter into the cells which then converts the sugar into energy for meeting their requirements of growth and energy.

GlucoRedi is a nutritional supplement sold exclusively online through glucoredi.com. GlucoRedi, in other words, is a diabetic supplement. The pill is primarily promoted to diabetics - or anyone who has lately suffered with blood sugar levels. GlucoRedi, like other diabetic remedies, claims to assist with healthy blood sugar, weight loss, belly-flattening, and other health advantages. According to the official website of GlucoRedi, it is the "World's best blood sugar optimizer." The makers of this supplement also claim that after using GlucoRedi daily, many people have quit using their prescription diabetic medicine and insulin. Let's discuss this chronic disease and how it affects us. Diabetes is a chronic condition that arises when the pancreas does not create sufficient insulin or the body cannot adequately utilize the insulin produced. Hyperglycemia, also known as high blood glucose or elevated blood sugar, is a typical side effect of untreated diabetes that, over time, causes catastrophic damage to many of the organ functions. Diabetes caused a 3% rise in age-standardized death rates between 2000 and 2019. In addition, diabetes-related mortality increased by 13% in lower-middle-income nations. All these facts indicate a need for a natural remedy for diabetes. With unique anti-diabetic natural herbal extracts of Gymnema Sylvestre, bitter melon, Licorice, Mangifera Indica, Shilajit, and Berberis aristate, GlucoRedi provides an efficient blood glucose optimization solution. Types of Diabetes Type 2 diabetes (also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes) is caused by the body's poor utilization of insulin. Type 2 diabetes affects more than 95% of people with diabetes. This kind of diabetes is caused mainly by high body weight and inactivity. Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as insulin-dependent, juvenile, or childhood-onset diabetes) is marked by low insulin production and requires daily injections. The cause and prevention of type 1 diabetes are unknown. Gestational diabetes, as the name suggests, develops during pregnancy. It is defined as hyperglycemia, or blood glucose levels higher than normal but lower than those required to diagnose diabetes. Women with gestational diabetes are more likely to have difficulties during pregnancy and delivery. These mothers and their children are at a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) are conditions that exist between normal and diabetes. People with IGT or IFG are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes; however, this is not unavoidable. With some lifestyle changes and regular workouts, it can be controlled. Diarrhea Flushing of the skin Bloating Unpleasant metallic taste in the mouth Stomach pain Muscle pain Gas Indigestion Rash Nail changes Constipation Heartburn Headache Chest pain What are the medications used to treat the most common form of diabetes? Insulin therapy is used to treat and control diabetes. Usually, oral prescription medications like Metformin are administered. Metformin treats type 2 diabetes alone or with other drugs, including insulin. It belongs to the biguanide class of medicines and aids in regulating blood glucose levels. It reduces the quantity of glucose absorbed from meals and the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Metformin also improves the body's reaction to insulin, a hormone that regulates the quantity of glucose in the blood. However, Metformin is not prescribed for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Diabetes and high blood sugar levels can lead to severe or life-threatening consequences such as heart disease, stroke, kidney difficulties, nerve damage, and vision problems over time. Taking medication, adopting lifestyle changes (such as diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and testing blood sugar levels regularly may help control diabetes and improve health. Metformin may help reduce the chance of a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related issues, including kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, chilly legs or feet; impaired sexual capacity in men and women), eye problems like loss of vision, or gum disease. Although Metformin helps control diabetes, it is not the cure. Moreover, Metformin needs to be taken regularly, even life-long, as it is only effective when it is in the system. What are the side effects of Metformin? Metformin may sound like an easy solution to type 2 diabetes, but like all allopathy prescription medications, it does not come without side effects. Some common side effects of Metformin include- Some of these side effects can be serious and lead to further complications in an already complex condition. However, with the current health and wellness industry developments, some great alternatives to diabetes medications like Metformin have come along. One such alternative is GlucoRedi, the world's best blood sugar optimizer. What is GlucoRedi? GlucoRedi is an innovative supplement for blood sugar that mimics Metformin but without producing any of its side effects. It is made up of only natural ingredients clinically proven to lower blood sugar levels. GlucoRedi helps to improve insulin synthesis, which in turn keeps sugar cravings at bay and lowers sugar absorption by the intestines. Besides providing blood glucose control support, GlucoRedi also helps to strengthen immunity with its anti-oxidant-rich ingredients. Overall, it is a power-packed supplement that restores the body's natural balance and protects it from various health risks. How does GlucoRedi work? Is it the best blood sugar support supplement? Insulin deficiency can result from insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, slow metabolism, or other physical conditions. GlucoRedi, with its vital components, aids in treating various ailments caused by low insulin levels. These ingredients present in GlucoRedi assist in the removal of toxins from the body, which can contribute to insulin resistance. GlucoRedi also increases metabolism, which aids with weight loss and returns insulin levels to normal. The makers of the GlucoRedi supplement claim that it can manage blood glucose levels without interfering with other physiological functions. The plant extracts in the formulation stimulate the production of insulin and glucagon. GlucoRedi is a natural dietary supplement for those with excessively high blood glucose levels. It reduces insulin resistance in the body. Unfortunately, many people's bodies cannot produce or use insulin efficiently. GlucoRedi combines vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant-rich herbs to battle free radicals, which are molecules that harm the body. Each GlucoRedi pill contains a strong herbal blend that supports the body's natural hormonal balance, allowing all biochemical processes to run smoothly. In addition, this is a quick-acting blood sugar management pill that produces rapid effects. What are the benefits of using GlucoRedi? GlucoRedi is not a miracle blood sugar cure, but it does help the body restore internal balance so that it can stay healthy and control its systems in a better way. Some of the advantages of GlucoRedi are: What makes GlucoRedi so effective? GlucoRedi is made up of only natural ingredients. It contains several medicinal plants and herbs that help to control blood glucose levels safely and effectively. The main components are- Gymnema Sylvestre Gymnema Sylvestre is a woody climbing shrub that is only found in the tropical forests of Australia, Africa, and India. Its leaves have been used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system, for decades. It has been used in traditional medicine to cure many conditions, including diabetes, malaria, and snakebites. This plant has also gained popularity as a component in natural blood sugar management products like GlucoRedi because it is thought to restrict the absorption of sugar. According to a 2001 study, Gymnema leaf extract was found to lower blood sugar levels after 90 days of use, involving 65 participants. Additionally, Gymnema Sylvestre helped people with their glycemic management. The study's authors concluded that Gymnema might help prevent diabetes over the long run. Gymnema Sylvestre's blood sugar-lowering effects mainly affect how well the pancreas and intestines work. It decreases the sugar absorbed by the intestines and encourages the pancreas to make more insulin. Other studies that support the efficacy of Gymnema Sylvestre as a potent anti-diabetic ingredient and its effect on insulin and metabolic syndrome can be found here https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02370121. Gymnema Sylvestre has also been effective for patients with impaired glucose tolerance. The results of the study can be found here, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02708966. Momordica Charantia The bitter melon gets its name from its flavor and taste. It has a lengthy history of use in medicine, especially in controlling blood sugar levels. In addition, bitter melon is a rich source of healthy minerals. Some studies indicate that it is suitable for decreasing blood sugar, which might help treat diabetes. For example, it has been demonstrated that eating bitter melon causes blood sugar levels to fall. Some studies that were conducted to evaluate the anti-diabetic effects of bitter melon can be found here, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4027280/ Bitter melon is said to have qualities that resemble that of insulin, a hormone that aids in transferring glucose into cells for use as energy. Licorice root is the most often used spice for treating colds and coughs, and its anti-inflammatory effects also help with pain and stuffy noses. The plant is also used for digestive support and the treatment of respiratory infections. According to certain studies, it could also help keep blood pressure steady. The American Diabetes Association says that the amorfrutins in licorice root are said to have anti-diabetic effects. Amorfrutins also has anti-inflammatory qualities that aid in preventing diabetes-related diseases. Liquorice can be consumed in various ways, including as teas, tinctures, powder, and supplements. In addition, this root promotes gut health and provides effective long-term therapy for many digestive disorders. A study to understand the anti-diabetic effects of this herb was also conducted. The findings of the study can be found here, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32763420/ Another study on animals shows Licorice's efficacy as a potent anti-diabetic substance. The results of the study can be found here, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21314459/. Berberis aristate The ancient Ayurvedic herb Berberis Aristate, often known as Indian Barberry, is used to treat various illnesses, including diabetes, skin conditions, liver problems, stomach irregularities, and renal issues. The plant has been utilized in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine for over three thousand years because of its therapeutic qualities. Berberine is the substance that gives Berberis Aristate these therapeutic advantages. Phellodendron Amurense (Amur cork tree), Hydrastis Canadensis (Goldenseal), and other members of the Berberis genus contain the bioactive chemical berberine. Berberine is considered a potent anti-diabetic natural substance. The results of a trial conducted to study the effects of berberine on diabetes can be found here, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2410097/ Syzygium cumini (fruit) Syzygium cumini, sometimes referred to as the black plum or Jamun, is a distinctive flavor with several health benefits. A very significant plant in Ayurveda is Jamun. The seeds of this plant are frequently used in Ayurvedic medicine. It contains jambolin, a substance that reduces blood sugar levels and enhances insulin sensitivity, which is essential to battle insulin resistance. Nutritionists claim that black plums can help with type 2 diabetes symptoms, including thirst and frequent urination. Its low glycemic index maintains steady blood sugar levels. It can delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, brought on by a sedentary lifestyle, making it a crucial part of the GlucoRedi formulation. This fruit has been studied extensively for its anti-diabetic properties. The findings of one such study can be found here, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5602981/ Other ingredients in GlucoRedi include- Asparagus Racemosus Commiphora Mukul Pterocarpus Marsupium Mangifera Indica Shilajit Enicostemma Littorale Frequently asked questions When should I expect to see results from GlucoRedi? GlucoRedi's fast-acting composition begins functioning as soon as the tablets are ingested. The active components start to be released practically immediately after entering the bloodstream. Therefore, it is critical to maintain consistency to get the full advantages of GlucoRedi How many pills of GlucoRedi should I take in a day? One tablet of GlucoRedi should be taken after each meal. GlucoRedi pills should not be taken more than three times per day. The tablet can be taken with water. Can vegans consume GlucoRedi? Vegetarians and vegans can consume GlucoRedi. It contains no residues of animal or dairy products. Can I use GlucoRedi for weight loss? As GlucoRedi helps to maintain blood glucose levels, it also eliminates unwanted cravings. This may help some people reach their weight reduction goals and maintain their body weight better. Does GlucoRedi help to restore hormonal balance? Diabetes, often known as abnormal blood glucose levels, is caused by hormonal disturbance. GlucoRedi aids in the restoration of critical metabolic hormones like insulin and glucagon. The Bottom line- GlucoRedi's unique formulation distinguishes it from other natural diabetic supplements. It is the only product that incorporates all of the most effective natural components, including Gymnema Sylvestre, berberine, black plum, shilajit, and licorice root, all backed by scientific evidence and clinical trials.

Golden Cricket announces its launch of a revolutionary new product - cricket protein bars

Golden Cricket

Golden Cricket is a revolutionary new company in Austin, Texas that utilizes the most nutritious and sustainable source of protein on the market. They are locally owned and operated by two brothers with a passion for health and wellness. In eight short months, they have managed to acquire $150,000 in funding and are on track to raise much more. The secret ingredient is crickets - yes, the insect. Eli and Jake Halpern have turned powdered crickets into protein bars with currently one flavor - peanut butter chocolate banana, and are working on releasing a horchata cricket protein powder for smoothies. Crickets are one of the most nutritious protein sources on the planet. They are 65% protein by weight, contain all 9 essential amino acids, more potassium than bananas, more iron than spinach, and are high in calcium, magnesium, and zinc. They’re also packed with Vitamin B-12, Omega 3 & 6, are a natural prebiotic, and their fiber is more bioavailable than plants. Since 70% of the world is already lactose intolerant, switching over from whey only makes sense. The protein bars are sweetened by dates which also have a high potassium content that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, as to not cause insulin spikes. Crickets are the most sustainable source of protein. They use 2000x less water to produce than dairy or meat, and use even less water to produce than plant protein. They are incredibly efficient, as they can be farmed vertically, using a fraction of the space as traditional farming. Crickets only have a lifespan of 6 weeks, indicating the rate at which they can be harvested, meaning there can be almost 9 harvests annually. For reference, most plants are only harvested once per year, and meat can’t be harvested until the cattle age about 5 years. Farmed crickets are also healthier than wild crickets because their diet is controlled. So not only do they save space and resources but also time - the most precious resource. Eli remarks “From an ethical standpoint, it’s not that big of a deal to kill crickets. Most people don’t really likes crickets anyways.” Vegetarians and vegans have also begun switching over to Golden Cricket (even though crickets are technically an animal) because it actually causes less indirect death compared to agriculture, due to the lack of pesticides killing trillions of both insects and rodents. Additionally, crickets are all natural and can’t possibly be contaminated with pesticides, as it would kill them.

Chinese Ink Art Reinvigorated Through Experimentation By Artist Liu Kuo-Sung

National Gallery Singapore

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 11 January 2023 - A pioneering figure in modern Chinese ink practices around the world; an artist who went beyond conventional painting techniques to push boundaries in textures and materials. Liu Kuo-sung is a world-renowned modern ink master who reconstructed traditions with modernity to create unique ink paintings and transformed the art practice. Installation view, Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method. National Gallery Singapore 2022. Image credit: Joseph Nair, Memphis West Pictures Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method is Singapore’s largest exhibition in a public museum dedicated to the artist. The show, which opens on 13 January, is a retrospective spanning seven decades of Liu’s artistic career, spotlighting his trailblazing experimentation and sophisticated integration of traditional Chinese and Western art philosophies, which resulted in significant contributions to modern Chinese ink. Liu Kuo-sung (b. 1932) is lauded for his contributions to the global development of modern and contemporary ink art. Through his career, the 91-year-old artist has devoted his energies to exploring and advocating for the modernisation of Chinese painting. He was a key founding member of the Fifth Moon Group – a group of artists which initiated a modern art movement in Taiwan between the 1950s and 1970s – and exemplified his modern approaches through his own ink practice and art writings by boldly abandoning Chinese painting conventions. Liu Kuo-sung at Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method, National Gallery Singapore 2022. Image credit: Joseph Nair, Memphis West Pictures His spirit of experimentation extends beyond just brush painting techniques – he explored the use of materials to create textural effects in his paintings for enhanced visual impact. This led to the development of a new material – Liu Kuo-sung Paper. His leading role in the modernisation of the art form elevated Liu onto the global stage, where he extensively exhibited across the world in Asia, Europe and America. Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method presents over 60 breathtaking ink works and 150 archival materials from Liu’s personal collection, which trace his breakthrough artistic practice across seven decades. This exhibition features works generously donated to the Gallery from Liu, with future additional donations being explored. Liu’s donation expands and elevates the Gallery’s collection of ink paintings, which includes works by Singaporean ink artists, as well as Chinese ink master Wu Guanzhong. Through this collection, the Gallery has continuously made efforts to deepen the art historical understanding of ink art, as the perspectives of Singapore and Southeast Asia provide a uniquely rich vantage point to examine the regional and global transformation of the ink practice. The Gallery’s spotlight and research on Liu Kuo-sung’s innovations in ink will further the mission to examine the lesser known narratives from the global history of modern ink, advancing the museum’s position as a leading institution for modern ink art in the region. Dr Eugene Tan, Director, National Gallery Singapore, says, “Liu’s groundbreaking approaches through his painting techniques and use of materials advance new perspectives on the traditional medium. His works showcase the exceptional results of his innovative artistic spirit. National Gallery Singapore is honoured to receive the generous donation of artworks from Liu Kuo-sung and recognition for the Gallery’s efforts in growing awareness and appreciation of Chinese ink. We believe that the depth and breadth of our collections of Chinese ink will appeal to a global audience and support our intention to create dialogue between the art of Singapore, Southeast Asia and the world.” Lin-Hwei Lee from The Liu Kuo-sung Foundation says, “Over the years, we have seen National Gallery Singapore’s reputable efforts to raise awareness and foster deeper appreciation for Chinese ink. We hope that this donation enables the Gallery to further expand its exhibitions and programmes on Chinese ink to showcase the diversity and beauty of Chinese ink practice for its visitors.” Experimentation as a method to traditional Chinese ink practice: Exhibition highlights The exhibition traces notable and distinct periods in his career with a selection of artworks and archival materials, providing visitors with an extended reading of his art that places his works in broader historical contexts and highlight the relevance and significance of his innovations. Installation view, Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method. National Gallery Singapore 2022. Image credit: Joseph Nair, Memphis West Pictures In the early phases of his artistic career in the 1960s, Liu already began making innovations in ink. Focusing on the use of materials, he invented his own paper, aptly named Liu Kuo-sung Paper, a coarse textured thick cotton paper with fibres “glued” to the surface of the paper. After applying ink, the fibres are removed to create a special effect of white lines and textures in the painting. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the texture of this paper and the applications of it in the first exhibition section, Dance of Ink. Liu also often contemplated marrying brushwork with other art concepts inspired by Western practices. For example, he reinvented the concept of abstraction in the practice of Chinese ink. His propensity to push the frontiers of Chinese ink created a new visual language which reflected nature’s spirit and vitality while echoing the aesthetic forms of classical Chinese landscape paintings. During the 1960s, Liu had the opportunity to travel to the United States. The 60s also coincided with the buzz of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. This significant global event was captured in one of Liu’s important collage pieces, titled Moon Walk (1969) which he created by attaching an image torn out from LIFE magazine and blended it into his unique ink painting style. He also encountered practices such as pop art and hard-edge painting, an approach to abstract painting characterised by areas of flat colour with sharp or hard edges. This influenced him to use bright and bold colours in his works. He created an intriguing visual contrast and resonance, contrasting expressive strokes with varied and rich textures of ink and paper in the composition. In the section titled Which is Earth?, view how Liu extended the natural imagery of Chinese landscape painting to the eternal and infinite cosmic landscape of the universe. In the 2000s, Liu revisited the cosmic views that were first captured in his works from the 1960s, which were inspired by iconic Earth photographs captured by the Apollo 8 space mission, and anchored by celestial bodies hung above landscapes of the Earth. Coming (2014), which measures over three metres long, captures the movement of celestial objects across time and space. In 1972, Liu became the Chairman of the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, thus shifting his energies and efforts to art education. At the University, he established a modern ink curriculum which expounded his belief in the application of experimentations, challenging the conventional teaching methods of learning by copying from old masters. Throughout his career, Liu never ceased to apply this same philosophy to his own practice, refining and redefining Chinese ink through his innovative use of materials and polishing of his techniques, such as water rubbing, paper rubbing, paper tearing and steeped-ink painting – present in the artworks displayed in Searching for Paradise. Despite this desire to expand the practice of the medium, his inspiration from nature remained consistent. From the 1980s onwards, Liu travelled extensively through China. The works in the last exhibition section Lying Down on Water, Mountains Rising and Falling takes inspiration from the lakes of Jiuzhaigou and the snow-capped mountains of Tibet. He created several series of large, captivating landscape paintings throughout the 2000s. Installation view, Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method. National Gallery Singapore 2022. Image credit: Joseph Nair, Memphis West Pictures In these large-scale series, Liu continued to experiment with the use of materials, such as architecture paper, as seen in the artwork In the Midst of a Beautiful Spring (2008). The less absorbent material enabled Liu to push the boundaries of his steeped-ink technique. The culmination of the novel art-making techniques that Liu developed and refined over time, coupled with his return to a semi-abstract approach to Chinese ink are fervently showcased through these evocative masterpieces created in the later part of his career. Exhibition tours, activities and dining Visitors can look forward to docent-led tours, activities for the family and children to learn more about ink paintings, a multi-programme response to the exhibition by Siong Leng Musical Association as well as a special dish at The Great Mischief inspired by one of Liu Kuo-sung’s artworks. Talks and panel discussions will also engage audiences in the artistic practices of the master artist. More information on the exhibition and accompanying programmes may be found at www.nationalgallery.sg/experimentation-as-method. Media assets are available here. Liu Kuo-sung: Experimentation as Method will run from 13 January to 26 November 2023 at National Gallery Singapore, Level 4 Gallery and Wu Guanzhong Gallery.

EdTech Company Amesite CEO Sits Down With Benzinga To Discuss 2022 Successes And The Vision For 2023, Building A Promising Future Of AI In Learning

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Read the Latest Research Report on Amesite Here. Amesite Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: AMST) CEO, Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, recently sat down for a chat with Benzinga to discuss its past year of successful partnerships, and to look ahead to a promising 2023 for the Detroit-based company. Sastry explained how Amesite is an educational technology (EdTech) software-as-a-service (SaaS) company helping modernize educational systems via its artificial intelligence (AI) powered white-label eLearning services. Amesite doesn’t compete with the existing educational infrastructure, instead working with them to update their branded programs via Amesite’s system. With companies looking to upskill and reskill their workers and employees looking to adapt to an ever-changing market, the corporate eLearning market is currently valued at $117 billion. “We are proving our theory every day that most professional training as one segment will go online - that is the future,” said Sastry. “And that online learning has to be great in order for organizations to succeed, in order for brands to succeed, and in order for people to move ahead.” It is this need for great online learning that Amesite is looking to solve through its AI-driven platform. Amesite serves clients across a range of sectors, including universities, businesses, museums, and government agencies. It operates in a similar market to companies like Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). Sastry touted some major partnerships in 2022 that demonstrate the success of Amesite’s transformative AI-implemented tools for modernizing the learning experience. The company lauds its easy-to-use system that makes implementation seamless, with cutting-edge AI technology and proven results resulting in 99% retention of Amesite users. Amesite’s collaborations included the EWIE Group of Companies (EGC), which launched 53 programs in only four days to successfully upskill its global workforce. Amesite also worked with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) - a league of historically black colleges with over 700,000 living alumni - as well as with the City University of New York (CUNY) to provide professional upskilling programs for students and alumni. Looking Ahead To A Strong 2023 The conversation included talk of Amesite and the future of AI in learning, which Sastry believes is very promising. “We are very excited about the next six months,” she said. “We have positioned ourselves to support the global education infrastructure,” with the company’s white label technology established in the four massive eLearning sectors of higher education, business,,museums, and government. Just as consumers have come to expect proper AI-integrated solutions in areas from navigation and banking to social media and shopping, there is a growing expectation that education will adapt to a tech-driven market. Sastry believes Amesite gives the education industry the necessary tools to make this adaptation. Amesite believes its industry-leading initiatives could be strengthened in 2023 by initiatives like the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act. This bill provides $50 billion to boost the United States semiconductor industry, including funding for education in the sector. According to Sastry, the US lost its dominant position in this industry in part from falling behind in its upskilling and reskilling, a problem that Amesite can help solve through its platform technology. She ended the interview on an upbeat note, with Amesite poised for a strong 2023 of helping industries leverage the power of AI to provide learning solutions for the future.
