Metabolic Syndrome, Syndrome X, hypoglycemia, pre-diabetes, whatever the name these blood sugar disorders have are all ways that a body tries, but fails to a greater or lesser degree, to handle blood sugar. Having carefully studied the body’s relationship to sugar, and its partner insulin, here are two things that can be said:

• Blood sugar problems are serious
• There IS something natural you can do about it. 

More than 60% of Canadians have insulin resistance, a condition that contributes to obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes. Research has shown how people who have trouble with excess weight may not realize that they are on a “blood sugar roller coaster”. As they eat (or over-eat) blood sugar levels and insulin levels alternately surge and plummet, leading to fatigue, irritability, extreme food cravings and ultimately fuelling the ‘roller coaster’ with more of the wrong kinds of foods.
 
To ‘derail’ the blood sugar roller coaster the body needs help. Extensive research has developed a unique polysaccharide (fibre) complex that helps slow down and level out the processes of digestion and metabolism of food. This results in significant improvements in the blood sugar balance. A study conducted on individuals with Metabolic Syndrome showed that consumption of highly soluble, highly viscous fibre improved overall metabolic control by reducing insulin resistance. Total-cholesterol (12.4%), LDL cholesterol (22.3%), and the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio (15%) were also reduced.

In other research, use of this fibre blend reduced after-meal blood glucose by 23% and improved insulin sensitivity more than 35% after just 3 weeks. Subjects in this study also lost significant amounts of body fat compared to control, although no specific dietary advice was given to encourage weight loss during the three week clinical trial.
 
The Revolution in Blood Sugar Management has Begun
 
When you discover something that has the power to prevent all these different blood sugar related, non-optimum health conditions, you don’t keep the news to yourself. By eliminating the effects of after-meal insulin spiking; and by helping a person feel full and satiated, the problems of excess body fat and insulin resistance can both be handled.
 
To your body, all food is basically ‘sugar’. Build a better relationship with food and sugar and have a ‘happier’, healthier body.
