Mark's Minutes - How Nutritional Deficiencies Cause Diabesity

[Finished] Millions of Americans are nutritionally deficient. In America we eat more than we ever have, and yet we're nutritionally depleted because we eat calorie dense but nutrient poor foods. As a result we now see this huge epidemic of diabetes and many other chronic diseases. Now a number of nutrients are really important in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. and these are things I use in my practice all the time. Vitamin D, chromium, magnesium, zinc, all important minerals, biotin, omega-3 fats from wild fish, antioxidants like lipoic acid. These are necessary for proper control and balance of your insulin and your blood sugar. When these are deficient, our biochemical machinery slows down and it can grind to a halt. We become more insulin resistant, and our blood sugar swings out of balance and we gain weight. So getting the right levels of nutrients can help your metabolism run better. So get a metabolic tune-up.
