<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some Holiday Celebrations lack the excitement they had before you became diabetic. Halloween and Easter are full of candy. Thanksgiving and Christmas are full of food. What's a diabetic to do?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since we all know chocolate is my down fall, the candy-filled holidays are the hardest and most disappointing for me. This Halloween I'm going to fill my house with crafts instead of candy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Will it be the same? No. Will the crafts fill even a part of the </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">candy-less joy? I don't know but I'm going to try. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, as diabetics we have to relearn some basic principles. I have to relearn that the holiday is not about the food connected with it. It is the joy of the season that should be the excitement. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

A <strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">diabetic coma</strong> is a medical emergency and occurs when the person passes out due to excessively high or low blood sugar. A person typically experiences all the symptoms of high or low blood sugar before he/she loses unconsciousness. If left untreated it can lead to brain damage and death.<span id="more-713" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are three types of diabetic coma, which give rise to different symptoms. Let us see the types and symptoms of diabetic coma.</div>

<strong style="border: 0px; color: #004276; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Common Symptoms of Diabetic Coma</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Symptoms of Ketoacidotic Coma</strong></h4>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ketoacidotic coma</strong> occurs in patients who suffer from <strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">type 1 diabetes</strong>. This coma occurs when excessive ketones are found in the body. Due to lack of insulin, the body starts to use fat for its energy. This leads to the excessive production of ketones, which makes the blood highly acidic. The symptoms of this coma include <strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">excessive thirst, nausea, vomiting, confusion, lethargy, and fatigue</strong>, difficulty in breathing, stomach pain and fruity smell on the breath.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Symptoms of Hypoglycaemic coma</strong></h4>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is a coma, which occurs when blood sugar levels fall dangerously low. This happens due to<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">infrequent or faulty eating and an increased dose of insulin</strong>. The typical symptoms of hypoglycaemic coma include sweating, palpitations, extreme hunger, confusion, trembling and drowsiness. If the symptoms are not checked, the person loses consciousness and faints.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Symptoms of hyperosmolar coma</strong></h4>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is the opposite of hypoglycaemic coma and occurs when the<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> blood sugar levels become excessively high</strong>. It occurs when the person misses an insulin dose or overeats. The typical symptoms are fatigue, increased urination and thirst, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Headaches</strong></h4>
<div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In all kinds of <strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">diabetic coma, headaches</strong> are known to occur. This is due to a combination of<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">fluctuating blood sugar levels</strong> and extreme hunger, which leads to headaches.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Light-headedness</strong></h4>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The person starts to <strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">feel dizzy and lightheaded</strong> if the glucose levels fall or rise below normal. Light-headedness is one of the first signs of a diabetic coma. It is soon followed by dizziness and fainting.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Blurred vision</strong></h4>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Severe cases of<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> hyperosmolar coma</strong> can lead to blurring of vision especially if the high blood sugar levels have remained undetected for weeks before the onset of the symptoms. The person can experience<strong style="border: 0px; color: #555555; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> blind spots</strong> and difficulties in viewing things.</div>
<h4 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hallucinations</strong></h4>

What to eat when you need to raise your blood glucose</div>
<div class="lead article-subhead" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div class="article-body">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar (glucose) drops below normal levels. Because our bodies need glucose for energy, having too little can lead to life-threatening health issues.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
What's the best source of glucose? Carbohydrates, such as rice, potatoes, bread, tortillas, cereal, milk and fruit. It's important to remember, however, that even if you're eating right and have your type 1 diabetes well under control, hypoglycemia can still strike.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 1.16; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
How Do I Treat Hypoglycemia?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
To treat hypoglycemia quickly, eat some form of sugar or simple carbohydrates. Good options include fruit juice, hard candy, pretzels or crackers. You will need at least 15 to 20 grams of sugar or carbohydrates to get you through, so it's a good idea to have foods like these on hand:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
• Four or five soda crackers<br />
• Five or six pieces of hard candy<br />
• Two tablespoons of raisins<br />
• Four teaspoons of sugar<br />
• One half cup of fruit juice or regular soda<br />
• One cup of milk<br />
• One tablespoon of honey or corn syrup</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Bear in mind that foods with a lot of fat mixed with the sugars and carbohydrates — such as chocolate or cookies — do not work as well. So be sure to stick with foods that are mainly sugar or carbs.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 1.16; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
What if Hypoglycemia Goes Untreated?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Do not delay in treating hypoglycemia. Otherwise, it can escalate into serious health problems, including seizures, coma and permanent damage to the nervous system.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 1.16; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
How Can I Prevent Hypoglycemia?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Practicing good diabetes management is the surest way to avoid hypoglycemia. And learning how to detect hypoglycemia can help you treat it before it gets worse.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30px;">The</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> sad truth about frozen yogurt: It's not far removed from ice cream on the health spectrum — it's just trendier.</span></div>

<div class="article-body">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Frozen yogurt is a multi-million dollar business dishing up many unnatural ingredients with loads of sugar, and some active cultures for good measure. Don't be fooled, comparatively it's much closer to ice cream than yogurt.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 1.16; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
What's wrong with frozen yogurt?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Frozen yogurt can be a carbohydrate bonanza. Think salad bars: the ingredients may seem healthy but it's easy to exceed 1,000 calories.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Sugar can be represented by a whole host of sneaky aliases on an ingredient list: fructose, dextrose, corn syrup, juice concentrates, polydextrose and pure cane sugar," writes the Huff Post, adding that one product might list sugar by several of these names to keep it from topping the ingredient list.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
Nutritional information at most fro-yo shops isn't usually front and center either; if you want the information you have to ask for it.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15.75px; line-height: 1.16; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
How do I keep it healthier?</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong>Reverse the cup</strong> - Put the toppings in your cup first and the frozen yogurt on top to moderate carbohydrates and calories.<br /><strong>Portion control</strong> - Fill your cup halfway or ask for a smaller one. One size (giant) cups at self-serve spots tempt customers to fill it up.<br /><strong>Weigh before adding toppings</strong> - Four to five ounces is a good serving, think about the size of a tennis ball.<br /><strong>Pick a low-sugar option</strong> - Some frozen yogurts are made with splenda for instance.<br /><strong>Go for healthy toppings</strong> - Fresh berries or nuts are great; fresh fruit gives the appearance of a full cup satisfying a hungry eye.<br /><strong>Eat frozen yogurt as an occasional treat.</strong></div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: large;">Although, glucose is the prime source of energy for
all the living cells of the body to carry out their normal physiological
functions effectively. Well, this happens due to the reason that the pancreatic
cells which produce insulin are destroyed or also due to the impairment of the
target receptors of insulin. Hence, in either way insulin becomes incapable of
carrying out its function. Insulin functions in the uptake of glucose by the
body cells. So when there is no insulin, there is no uptake of blood glucose by
the cells. </span></span><!--EndFragment--><br />

<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Whether you prefer eggs, yogurt, or
oatmeal, getting a healthy breakfast under your belt sets the tone for a day of
weight control and fewer <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/calories.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">calories</span></b></a>
overall. In fact, research shows that people who start their day with breakfast
make healthier choices and have a lower <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/weight-management/obesity/are-you-overweight.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">body mass index</span></b></a>
in general. The breakfast effect is even stronger for women than men.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"If we skip breakfast, we'll
make unhealthier choices at lunch. People who skip breakfast eat more during
the day," says Emily Banes, RD, clinical dietitian at the Houston
Northwest Medical Center. This is partly due to a thought process in which
people believe — incorrectly — that if they don't eat breakfast, they can eat
more at lunch or dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Here's the reality. On a
physiological level, your breakfast choices — or lack of them — can set off a
cycle of cravings and blood sugar spikes that spells doom for weight control.
Better to start the day with stable blood sugar and ultimately fewer calories,
courtesy of breakfast, says Banes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You may have to find your perfect
breakfast food through a trial and error process. Banes advises thinking
outside the breakfast box. It's fine if you prefer a small turkey sandwich or a
hard-boiled egg to traditional breakfast foods, she says. Here are other ideas:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Consider whole grains. </span></b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Whole grains are a good choice because they keep you feeling
full, according to a dietary study that compared feelings of satisfaction
between people who ate a hot whole-grain cereal for breakfast and those who ate
refined wheat bread. Those who ate the whole-grain breakfast reported feeling less
hungry over the following eight hours than the comparison group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Opt for eggs. </span></b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A study of people between the ages of 25 and 60 who were trying
to <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/weight-loss.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">lose weight</span></b></a>
found that those who ate two eggs for breakfast lost 65 percent more weight
than those who ate bagels, and they also reported having higher energy levels
throughout the day. Although this study showed no effect of egg consumption on
cholesterol levels, Banes cautions that this may not be the right choice if you
already have high cholesterol. Ask your doctor about egg-white alternatives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Avoid high-sugar choices. </span></b><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Eating doughnuts, breakfast pastries, and sugary cereals may
begin that cycle of cravings and blood sugar lows that can undermine your
efforts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"When you first wake up in the
morning, if you are not a breakfast person, but you can eat two hours later,
that's fine. Have a little yogurt with cereal in it, a little bit of peanut
butter on some crackers, or a granola bar with a little bit of <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/healthy-protein.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">protein</span></b></a>
in it. It doesn't have to be traditional breakfast foods," says Banes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Once you find the breakfast options
that suit your diet and your taste buds, plan ahead so that these foods are on
hand when you want them — and you can solidify a healthy habit that will last a
lifetime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #343434; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you're looking for foods that raise blood-sugar levels slowly
and gently, choose high-quality carbohydrates instead of low-quality carbs like
refined grains and sugary foods. Whenever possible, you'll want to couple these
carbs with protein and/or healthy fat. Beans (including black, white, navy,
lima, pinto, garbanzo, soy, and kidney) are a winning combination of
high-quality carbohydrates, lean protein, and soluble fiber that helps
stabilize your body's blood-sugar levels and <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/health-report/type-2-diabetes-lifestyle/healthy-snacking-with-type-2-diabetes.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">keeps hunger in

<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You’re not alone. Hundreds, if not
thousands, of people struggle with <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/meal-planning/tips/keep-portion-sizes-in-check.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">portion control</span></b></a>
many times throughout the day. I know — that doesn’t make you feel better. But
because it is such a common problem, there are some strategies you can adopt to
help you control your portions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Focus on eating more slowly to give
yourself time to tune in to your body’s hunger and satiety. It takes 20 minutes
to half an hour for your brain to receive the message that your stomach is
full, so take your time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">When you are no longer feeling hungry
but still want to eat, think about why. Are you bored? Find something else to
keep you busy. Are you upset? Call a friend and vent. Are you stressed or
anxious? Turn on some music or go for a brisk <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/fitness/workouts/walk-it-off.aspx"><b><span style="color: #004aaa; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">walk</span></b></a>
to relax and de-stress. Don’t try to fix your problems with food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Keep your portions down by following
these basic tips:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;">
<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Use
a smaller plate.</span></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> As simple as this sounds, it works.
Studies have shown that people eat more when there’s more on their plate,
regardless of how hungry they feel. So put less on your plate but trick your
eyes into thinking you’re eating more by using a smaller plate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;">
<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Never
eat directly from a container, bag, or box.</span></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> It’s so
hard to keep track of how much you're eating when you’re just reaching in and
stuffing food in your mouth. Before you know it, the bag is gone. Instead, serve
yourself one portion on a plate or in a bowl, put away the rest, and only <i>then</i>
sit down to eat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Measure,
measure, measure!</span></b><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Keep that measuring cup or spoon
handy, and measure out your cereal into a bowl, your rice onto your plate, your
tuna salad, your potato chips, your strawberries — everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #003a6e; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If you sometimes find yourself
short-tempered and irritable — quick to snap at your friends, family members,
and co-workers — you may be in need of a better eating plan. One of the biggest
contributors to either a sudden or a chronic low mood is a drop in blood sugar,
or glucose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Snacking on concentrated sweets is
not an effective solution for the long term, however, because the spike in
sugar they induce is usually followed by a mood-destroying drop, which can
leave you feeling fatigued, agitated, and depleted. You can go a long way
toward maintaining an even blood sugar level by heeding the following tips: <i>Eat
every four to five hours. </i> Eating consistently throughout the day — every
four to five hours — provides your brain and body with a constant source of
fuel and can prevent dips in your blood sugar levels. Some people with
diagnosed hypoglycemia may need to eat even more frequently (every two to three
hours).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Limit <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/refined-grains.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">refined carbohydrates</span></a>.</span></i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Concentrated sources of sugar, like
soda, candy, fruit juice, jam, and syrups, can cause radical spikes (and drops)
in your blood sugar, which ultimately leave you feeling grumpy and tired.
Refined starches, such as white bread, crackers, bagels, and rice, often
produce the same effect because they break down quickly in your digestive
system to form blood sugar. Stick with <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/whole-grains.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">whole-grain</span></a> versions of these foods, which are
digested more slowly because of their higher fiber content and which therefore
keep your blood sugar stable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Combine high-quality carbohydrates
with lean protein.</span></i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Protein combined with high-fiber
carbohydrates (specifically those rich in soluble fiber, like oats, barley, and
certain fruits and veggies) has the ability to slow the absorption of sugar in
your blood and lessen mood swings. Try an egg-white omelet loaded with veggies
for breakfast, grilled chicken and peppers in a whole-grain tortilla for lunch,
shrimp-broccoli stir-fry for dinner, and celery sticks with peanut butter or
nonfat yogurt with berries as snacks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In addition to the role food can play
in regulating your blood sugar, studies have shown that certain nutrients in
food can positively affect mood. Indeed, some nutrients influence the function
of specific neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Eat foods rich in <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/omega-3-fatty-acids.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">omega-3 fatty acids</span></a> and folic acid.</span></i><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Omega-3 fatty acids are present in
the brain at higher levels than any other part of the body, and of particular
interest is the ability of omega-3 fats to help alleviate depression. Omega-3
fats can be found in fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, and Atlantic
mackerel, and to a lesser extent in ground flaxseeds, walnuts, and
omega-3-fortified eggs. If you'd like to try fish oil supplements, consult your
physician. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Folic acid, also called folate, also
seems to be important in regulating mood, and some studies have shown that low
levels of this B vitamin in the blood are related to depression. If you're experiencing
the blues on a regular basis, you should report this to your doctor. But if
you're having some transitory moodiness, try to include <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/leafy-green-vegetables.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">leafy greens</span></a>, fortified breakfast cereal,
sunflower seeds, soybeans, beets, and oranges — all of which are rich in folic
acid — into your diet. Also, consider a multivitamin that provides 100 percent
of the daily value for folic acid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Foods That Boost Your Memory<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #003a6e; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Eating certain foods can help make life's little details unforgettable.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #003a6e; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Age, stress, quality and length of sleep, medications, and of course, nutrition can all influence how well your memory functions. Physiologically, good memory depends on your total number of brain cells (neurons), the smooth flow of communication between the cells and the health of the cells. In many ways, <b><i>overall health can strongly affect memory</i></b>. For example, the health of the body's cardiovascular system can affect the performance of brain cells. Every cell in the body needs a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients to stay alive and work properly. Because oxygen and nutrients are carried in the bloodstream, anything that impedes blood flow can negatively affect brain cell function. Simply put, a healthy heart makes for a healthy brain. So it's important to keep <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/high-blood-pressure.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">blood pressure</span></a> and <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/high-cholesterol.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">cholesterol levels</span></a> in check and to exercise regularly and not smoke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A heart-healthy diet is therefore crucial to general health as well as to the health of memory, and compelling research has linked specific foods and their nutrients to the enhancement or preservation of memory. These "brain" foods contain <i>flavonoids,</i> which are chemical compounds that give fruits and <a href="http://www.joybauer.com/food-articles/leafy-green-vegetables.aspx"><span style="color: #003a6e;">leafy green vegetables</span></a> their color. Two important flavonoids that appear to support memory function are <i>anthocyanins</i> and <i>quercetin</i> (both are found in apples, blueberries, and red onions, to name just a few sources).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Other nutrients that have been found to improve memory are <i>folate</i> and <i>omega-3 fatty acids</i>. Take a look at the following list for a rundown of the best foods for boosting brainpower. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
