Key Concepts: Health, Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, high blood sugar, cashews, cashew nut extract, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar absorption, anti-diabetic properties  Want a boost to your body’s ability to respond to insulin? If you’ve got diabetes or insulin resistance, here’s good news:
The researchers from the University of Montreal have discovered that cashew tree products–leaves, seeds, bark and nuts–all deflect high-blood sugar and help to stop insulin resistance. In addition, the cashew tree is anti-inflammatory.
Another study published in the journal of Molecular Nutrition & Food Research finds only cashew nut extract impacts the muscle cells by stimulating blood-sugar absorption.
“Cashew seed extract likely contains active compounds, which can have potential anti-diabetic properties," senior author Pierre Haddad of the University of Montreal said in a statement.
Up to 200 million people around the world have diabetes, a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells are unresponsive to insulin. This illness is serious and can result in heart and/or kidney disease.

 Key Concepts: Health, Vitamins and Minerals, Vitamin D
Vitamin D is the new hot topic among vitamin enthusiasts. Synthesized in the body from sunlight, Vitamin D helps you assimilate your food and guards against disease. However, various conditions block the sun from doing its job: sun screen, clothing, hats, and the winter season.
The best way to get your Vitamin D? Through a daily supplement.
Over the past few years, Scientists have discovered that Vitamin D plays a crucial role in numerous body’s interactions. Diminished levels in the blood can be linked to a variety of age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Americans are now advised to increase their Vitamin D dosage to at least 1000 IUs per day and even higher. Unfortunately, most vitamin-mineral supplements only contain 400 IUs per capsule. For those with health problems, a daily amount of 5000 IUs are recommended.

Science Discovers Phytonutrient Fights Disease
Science through research at Harvard University and the biotech industry has discovered that resveratrol fights aging and the onset of disease caused from aging. Now scientists worldwide are finding that Resveratrol has multiple therapeutic uses including fighting cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
Other innovative studies show that Resveratrol reduces the heart
disease and damage caused from strokes by controlling blood vessel opening
and muscle tone, inhibits oxidative stress and lowers inflammation,
stops LDL oxidation, and lowers “stickiness” of blood platelets which
lead to deadly clot formations.
For years, longevity researchers have known and espoused that caloric restriction downplays associated aging diseases. Specific molecules in the protein family called sirtius which are activated by a lower caloric intake exert myriad effects to preserve cells. (Decreased sirtuin activity is connected with aging cell tissue that leads to age-related conditions such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s.) Resveratrol increases sirtuin acitivty, causing cells to react as if calories were resticted, and thus reduces age related illnesses.
Resveratrol Highlights:
- The French have long been consumers of resveratrol which is found in red wine and enjoyed the benefits when high-fat diets failed to produce normal devastating effects.
- Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammation power.
- Resveratrol causes cells to react as if they were under calorie restriction to preserve cellular life
- Resveratrol diminishes levels of blood vessel plaque and clot formation.
- Resveratrol can aid either preventing or reversing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

 How busting up can give you a boost!
Like an apple, 12 laughs a day keeps the doctor away. Laughter is on the table as a prescription for promoting better physical and emotional health ... even curing disease.
In a recent health study, not laughing enough was one of three primary reasons people can’t cope in life. (The other two are low self esteem and living in the past.)
Other studies show that laughter:
- Releases endorphins, helping us to feel good
- Provides an aerobic exercise effect, similar to jogging
- Encourages better communication
- Boosts the immune system
- Improves digestion, respiration and circulation
- Helps to promote positive attitudes
- Encourages creativity
- Relaxes the whole body
- Reduces stress
In 1983 Norman Cousins published his best selling book, “Anatomy of an Illness.” Cousins, former editor-in-chief of the Saturday Review in New York, was diagnosed with degenerative spine disease in 1964. In his best selling book he details his recovery from this deadly disease.
Cousins attributed his cure to laughter. Instead of going to a hospital, he checked himself into a hotel and watched the famous Marx Brothers' movies. His symptoms receded and he began researching laughter for its therapeutic value. Eventually Cousins focus helped to start a new area of medicine known as Psychoneuroimmunology, the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body.
Cousins died in 1990, but his contribution to Psychoneuroimmunology, psychosomatic medicine and the mind body connection are well known and respected world wide.
In Massachusetts a therapy group uses laughter to change their lives. The Arlington Laughter Club, run by Massachusetts General Hospital in Revere, meets twice a month at the Church of Our Savior.
During the meetings, members warm up slowly to laughter. First they share about why they aren’t laughing. Might be foreclosure, depression, loneliness. But then the whole group begins to laugh about it all.
Although nothing in particular is funny, the laughter releases pent up negative emotions and increases immunity and good feelings, reduces stress, and calms them down — even when they fake it.
So start today to find reasons to laugh. If you can’t find any, laugh anyway.
