A note on the sad passing of David A. Arnold.

I didn't know David, but he did us all the favor of making himself transparent and accessible. So when I met him, he felt like a friend.

Please take care of yourselves.

Insulin therapy, a treatment for diabetes, can cause unwanted weight gain.

This episode will cover the link between diabetes, insulin, and gaining weight, as well as how to manage and minimize weight gain.

Insulin is a natural hormone produced in the pancreas. When we eat, our pancreas releases insulin to help our bodies produce energy from sugars. Insulin is a vital part of metabolism. Without it, your body would cease to function.

Weight gain is a common symptom of diabetes.

Compared with people who do not have diabetes, young adults with type-1 diabetes have a higher risk of becoming overweight or obese. To wit, according to World Health Organization estimates (2003), 90 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese.

Establishing healthy lifestyle habits can help people:


reduce excess body weight, 
manage diabetes symptoms, and even 
reverse pre-diabetes and insulin resistance.

In today’s episode we’ll cover everything you need to know about dietary fats, including how to make healthier choices without sacrificing taste.

By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in our diets, we can improve our mood, boost our energy and well-being, and even lose unwanted body fat, easier.

“Good” fats

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health. These fats can help to:


Lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Lower bad LDL cholesterol levels, while increasing good HDL.
Prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
Lower triglycerides associated with heart disease and fight inflammation.
Lower blood pressure.
Prevent atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries).

Food sources include:


Avocados
Olives and olive oil
Raw Nuts and nuts oils: almonds, walnuts, macadamia, pecans
Raw Seeds and seed oils: Sunflower, sesame, pumpkin seeds, Flaxseed
Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines) and fish oil
Soybean and safflower oil

“Bad” fats

Artificial trans fats are considered dangerous. This is the worst type of fat since it not only raises bad LDL cholesterol but also lowers good HDL levels. Artificial trans fats can also create inflammation, are linked to heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions and contribute to insulin resistance. Aim to eliminate it from your diet.

Primary sources of Trans fat include:


Commercially-baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pizza dough
Packaged snack (crackers, microwave popcorn, chips)
margarine and vegetable shortening
Deep Fried foods (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, breaded fish)
Anything containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, even if it claims to be “trans fat-free”

Saturated fat. While not as harmful as trans fat, saturated fat can raise bad LDL cholesterol and too much can negatively impact heart health, so it’s best limited in our diets as well.

Primary sources of Saturated fat include:


Red meat (beef, lamb, pork)
Chicken skin
Whole-fat dairy products (milk, cream, cheese)
Butter
Ice cream
Lard
Tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil

Those of you who have moved, after years living in one city, will feel my pain.  Moving requires change in key relationships, like finding a new barber (ouch), baby sitters, and so many other new spaces.

I’ve recently been “gym shopping,” which for me is similar to finding a new church to call home.

Here's a glimpse into my experience, what I chose and what I learned.
