When I read this latest study I was shocked and speechless. There is a twin epidemic - Obesity and Type II Diabetes. Obesity has effected 70% of the population, with 37% morbidly obese.

Both, Obesity and Type II Diabetes, can be reversed and managed. The first thing is we have to change our minds - it is loving ourselves enough to not want to have these life threatening diseases

The study shows that the leading causes of Obesity and Type II Diabetes is eating processed foods; fast foods; and foods that have high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients.

As well these two diseases are associated with cellular inflammation. And too much inflammation in our body our bodies will start to attack itself.

Obesity and Type II Diabetes are two of the diseases that are associated with cellular inflammation. To reduce cellular inflammation we have to look at what and how we eat, our diet. Our bodies need a balance of carbohydrates and colorful polyphenols; our brain needs carbohydrates.

Some foods where we can find polyphenols are vegetables; fruits (non-berry); beans; and berries. As well to even out this balance is protein, low fat protein - the size of the palm of your hand.

Remember that size of our portions matter. When the weight starts dropping, and Type II Diabetes is under control - our bodies begin to feel so much better. And we are on the road to better health and feeling overall better.
