Fat Loss Supplements – 25 Facts you MUST know Before Beginning the Anti Aging Diet in 2017 – Dr Ken Romeo Reno Nevada – #20

Will you need Fat Loss Supplements during the Anti Aging Diet? With two exceptions, and even then in rare instances, don’t waste your money! The two exceptions are DHEA and one more than will be explained in the last post of this series. The final supplement is reserved for those with a “sweet tooth,” and those who are diagnosed as Type II diabetic.

The Anti Aging Diet requires NO supplementation via over-the-counter supplements.

You will only need to take the medicines that your doctor has prescribed when following the Anti Aging Diet. As you progress through the diet itself you will begin to throw away some of the “medicines” that you are taking now and/or greatly reduce their dose.

ALWAYS SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE ADDING OR DISCONTINUING ANY PRESCRIBED DRUG!!!

Cinnamon & Diabetes - Anti Aging Reno NV - Dr Ken Romeo

OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

Diabetes is a serious disease that can be effectively addressed by natural supplementations. This is a well-known fact.

Current law bans me from making unsubstantiated claims regarding the use of cinnamon and diabetes, but there is nothing stopping YOU from researching the National Institutes of Health (PUBMED) and drawing your own conclusions.

Dr Ken Romeo - Contraception and Diabetes - Anti Aging - Reno NV

OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

Pregnancy outcome depends on glycaemic control before conception among women with diabetes, so contraception options for women with diabetes is an extremely important issue.

Types of diabetes such as Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, women with history of gestational diabetes, and breast feeding diabetic mothers may be a consideration in selecting a contraceptive method.

On the other hand presence of diabetic complications is a significant determinant.

plushcare.com

Different methods of contraception as oral, injectable, implant, intrauterine devices are available. Patient’s choice and health issues both should be considered while prescribing a contraceptive to a woman with diabetes.

Emergency contraception is sometimes required in situations where there is chance of contraceptive failure. It is important for a woman to review the different contraceptive methods with their physician; their use and limitations. Only then can you make a rational choice.

Surprisingly, this topic is discussed quite often and openly in Anti Aging programs that are custom designed for women of childbearing age.

Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging - Treating Diabetes Naturally - Reno Nevada

OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

As my speciality is Anti Inflammatory Sciences, I am going to take a different tact in this Anti Aging post. Diabetes is a serious disease that can be effectively addressed by natural supplementations. This is a well-known fact.

Cinnamon is well studied in Diabetes treatment. Unfortunately, the various types and extracts and wide range of doses mean that the conclusions are not uniform in the current scientific literature. Neither the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health nor the American Diabetes Association recommends the use of cinnamon supplementation as a treatment for diabetes, but that doesn't mean that cinnamon has no place in a diabetic protocol.

Current law bans me from making unsubstantiated claims regarding the use of cinnamon and diabetes, but there is nothing stopping YOU from researching the National Institutes of Health (PUBMED) and drawing your own conclusions.

ginseng root

But check it out...16 studies found that ginseng modestly yet significantly improved fasting blood glucose in people with and those without diabetes. Ongoing research is being conducted by the NCCIH on the potential of standardized ginseng preparations in treating insulin resistance.

For the record, new studies of chromium picolinate concluded that the supplement does not ameliorate insulin resistance or impaired glucose metabolism. At best, when changes in glucose metabolism are observed, individual patient types may be a factor. Chromium picolinate's use in diabetes treatment is not understood at this time.

Also, most studies of fenugreek have lacked sufficient power or quality to conclude any recommendations in diabetic patients. Again, no conclusion can be drawn.

Bottom line: Big Pharma is Big Money. Natural substances can't be patented but may be effective. PLEASE research legitimate medical sources for information like PUBMED and do your homework. Diabetes in many cases can be treated with natural supplementation.

Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging - Type II Diabetes: Is HbA1c Level Related to Cognitive Impairment? - Reno Nevada

OPINION:  Dr Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

The purpose of a recent study was to clarify the association between the fluctuation of blood glucose levels and cognitive impairment in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes.

"88 relatively elderly subjects (≥65 years old) with type 2 diabetes were evaluated for fluctuation of blood glucose levels with glycoalbumin (GA)/hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ratio, and estimated cognitive impairment with Hasegawa dementia scale-revised score and mini mental state examination score.

Multivariate analyses showed that GA/HbA1c ratio and urinary albumin excretion, but not hypoglycemia, were independent determinant factors for cognitive impairment in elderly with type 2 diabetes.

The fluctuation of blood glucose levels per se is closely associated with cognitive impairment in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes even when hypoglycemia is not accompanied.

Since it is very easy to calculate GA/HbA1c ratio, a physician should check this ratio so that they can reduce the fluctuation of blood glucose levels especially in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Anti-Aging and Gallic Acid - Dr Ken Romeo - Reno Nevada

Opinion: Dr. Ken Romeo, Contact: 775-870-6942

Gallic acid is a natural phytochemical found in foods and herbs such as blueberries, walnuts, apples, flax seed and tea. Gallic acid is also found in gall nuts,sumac, witch hazel,

publicdomainpictures.net

watercress, oak bark, and many other plants and herbs.

Gallic acid is known to have a variety of cellular functions including beneficial effects on metabolic syndromes such as diabetes. That said, the molecular mechanism by which Gallic acid exerts its beneficial effects is not known.

I, and other scientists, suspect that Gallic acid plays its role through the activation of protein kinase and by regulating mitochondrial function via the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator1α (PGC1α).

In other words, Gallic acid plays its beneficial metabolic role by activating and by changing the genes related to the production of heat - thermogenesis.

If this is actually the case, Gallic acid or its derivatives might be a potential therapeutic intervention for diabetes,insulin resistance and have a positive effect on diabetic patients.

Diet plays a major role in any anti-aging program. Diet is foundational to those with diabetes. Speak with your doctor if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes to determine if the addition of foods and herbs containing Gallic acid is right for you.
