Paleo Diet + Kitchen-Sink Micronutrient Supp Sends Type II Diabetes into Remission | 14/17 Subjects Normalize HbA1c

Written by | published on

I guess that would qualify as a "variation of the paleo diet", as well.  No, this is not an advertisement for a diet book. In fact, the "variation" of the paleo diet the Canadian + US researchers used doesn't even require a cookbook, because it's as simple as "consisting of meat and vegetables, three times per day for three to five months" and "whole low glycemic fruit and nuts or seeds" as snacks between the meals  (Christensen 2017). That I still expect some people to call the study "shady", though, is the use of Apex dietary supplements in those of the subjects with a predetermined micronutrient deficiency (I wouldn't mind that - what I do mind, though, is that the scientists do not explicitly declare if they received funding by Apex and 'forget' to report 36 of 38 lab values they claim to have tested). As you would expect it from a "paleo diet", dairy was not on the menu Cheese for Your Hea...

Each +30 Min/d of Physical Activity Reduce HbA1c by 11%, Protein + CHO Maintain Bone Mass, Overlooked Benefits of BFR, New Marker of Overtraining - Jan '17 Science Update

Written by | published on

  This is what the Jan '17 Science Update has to offer? -11% HbA1c reduction per 30 minutes activity, new benefits of blood flow restricted tr., the bone protective effect of immediate post-workout whey plus carb ingestion, and a new overtraining gauge... It's almost, February... almost and that's why today's SuppVersity article still qualifies as a January '17 research update. One that is based on the latest (ahead of print) papers from the peer-reviewed journal "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" - papers about the large impact of short bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on the messed up glucose management of people with an increased T2DM risk, the bone-preserving effects of a mix of whey and dextrose and how this effect depends on timing, the belated and thus overlooked beneficial effects of blood flow restriction on muscular rapid force development and, last but not least, a potential new marker of overreaching...

Cinnamon as Nutrient Partitioner and 1st-Line Treatment for Pre-Diabetes? 5% Decrease in Fasting Glucose per Month in Human Studies, Up to 24% in 40 Days W/ High(er) Doses

Yes, that's how real cinnamon look like. It does not grow as powder in plastic boxes on trees as I suspect the members of the generation McBurgerSubway believe ;-) No, this is not  absolutely new. In fact this is just "another" SuppVersity  articles on the anti-diabetic effects of cinnamon, but I promise it's going to be the most comprehensive one. One that discusses the currently available evidence from human trials, as well as the things we know and believe to know about how cinnamon acts its anti-diabetic magic qualitatively and quantitatively. Before I even go into further details, though, I would like to address one of the "cinnamon myths" that says that only the highly expensive Ceylon or Sri Lankan Cinnamon would do the trick, while the commonly sold Cinamon cassia would be useless or even dangerous due to its high (and in fact toxic) coumarin content. Trying to improve your blood glucose management? Learn how at the SuppVersity Protei...

Magnesium & Type II Diabetes - Link not as Straightforward as Some Experts & Supp. Recommendations Suggest

Written by | published on

If Mg is the solution, then in form of high Mg foods, not supplements. If you've ever googled "magnesium and diabetes", you will probably have read a sentence like this "magnesium (Mg) is actively involved in a number of metabolic reactions as an important co-factor with special emphasis on carbohydrate metabolism (Mooren. 2015). Unlike the latest paper by the German scientists Frank C. Mooren from the Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen from which I've grabbed the previously cited statement, your Google results will yet probably have treated  this  observation as if it was conclusive evidence that the provision of extra-magnesium would solve the T2DM-crisis of the Western wordl. In his review, Mooren doesn't make the same mistake, instead he provides a brief, but in-depth overview of the regulation of intra- and extracellular Mg and the regulatory role of Mg in important metabolic pathways involved in energy metabolism and glycaemic control.

You simply cannot start "working out" too early - even if it's just child's play. "Three for one!" No, I am not trying to sell you three bottles of "uberpotent" test-boosters for the rat of one. Three for one that's the SuppVersity Figure of the Week and it is the ratio of the decrease in breast cancer risk in women and the hours of physical activity per week during their adolescence. According to a 2004 review by Lagerros, Hsieh and Hsieh, each additional* hour of weekly physical activity is associated with a -3% risk of developing breast cancer later in life (Lagerros. 2004) Needless to say that the "additional" hours are in addition to the low physical activity in the laziest of the study participants, who had a 20% higher risk of developing breast cancer than their most active peers. So what else do we have today? With this primer on the importance of physical activity esp. in the critical periods of your / your child...
