Great Ways to Help Diabetes Prevention with Maple Syrup-Sandy W. Harris

Becky Rawls-Riley — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:37:02 +0000

This is good news for people who are looking for healthy foods against cancer and diabetes. According to latest studies, your everyday maple syrup has a very strong potential in reducing the risk of diabetes and is very effective in slowing down the growth of cancer cells.

The syrup holds the key in controlling these degenerative diseases. Research on maple syrup shows that it has thirteen previously unknown antioxidant substances. These substances were only discovered recently by US researchers. According to the study, the active antioxidants of maple syrup are the key elements in controlling diabetes and cancer cells growth. Maple syrup is also effective in fighting infections.

The Anti-diabetes Properties of Maple Syrup

Maple syrup has high concentrations of phytohormone and abscisic acid. These properties can serve as your natural defense against diabetes and metabolic syndrome. They are capable of encouraging the release of insulin through the pancreatic cells.

They are also capable of enhancing insulin sensitivity of fat cells. The study on maple syrup and its effects or impact on diabetes has been revealed before the American Chemical Society in San Francisco.

The Anti Cancer Potential of Maple Syrup

A study by researchers at the Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, implies that maple syrup can be more effective than broccoli, blueberries, carrots and tomatoes in significantly slowing cancerous cell growth in the brain, prostate and lungs and somewhat less significantly in the breast.

Your Tasty Alternative to Fight Cancer and Diabetes

Maple syrup can serve as your tasty alternative in fighting cancer and diabetes. There are many anti cancer foods today like blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots. However, recent studies have shown that maple syrup is more effective against cancer compared to other anti cancer foods.

Laboratory testing results also show that the syrup is more potent compared to the maple sap. It is also ideal to use the pure dark syrup rather than the lighter syrup. Dark syrup has high color oxidation.

This is the reason why darker maple syrup should be preferred. So if you want a better alternative to fight cancer and diabetes, then your favorite maple syrup is a good option.

Mar. 29-30, 2010:Tulsa and New Day Hope Handbag

Becky Rawls-Riley — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:40:39 +0000

Went to Tulsa at the first of the week with my husband and I used the New Day Hope handbag.

While at the Gilcrease Museum of the Americas, there

Turtles at Gilcrease Museum of the Americas

were lots of turtles on the logs in the park north of the museum.

Gilcrease Museum of the Americas and New Day Hope Handbag

We walked the paths. This is me with the New Day Hope handbag along a rock path and there were lots of spring flowers on the slope.

Arrived early at the Philbrook Museum of Art and got a chance to enjoy the birds and flowers that morning in the front of the museum. This picture shows me and the New Day Hope handbag.

: Philbrook Museum of Art and New Day Hope Handbag

The Becky Bags’ New Day Hope handbag is made from repurposed jeans making it eco-friendly. It is detailed with a 4-way Bargello needlepoint front panel. Sparkling beads rest atop the panel’s pulled thread embroidery and adorn its handle.

Little House on the Prairie at Independence KS

The wind was typical of Kansas the day we returned so the gas mileage was great on the motorcycles. Independence KS was a must stop and see place with its Little House on the Prairie.
