Did you recently submit to a screening of your blood sugar levels? If the monitor obtained a reading of 70, but not more than 126 mg/DL, you are within a range that is categorized as normal blood glucose levels by the American Diabetes Association. Sadly, over nineteen million Americans a year end up being diagnosed with the metabolic disorder called type 2 Diabetes. Triple the numbers and you now have a rough estimate of the emerging medical condition called pre-diabetes that refers to elevated blood sugar levels running between 100 to 126 mg/DL. Quite alarming, do not you think? The typical American diet becomes the major culprit of it all. This is the reason why diabetics and pre-diabetics alike have been fervently encouraged to increase Omega 3 intake as an integral part of any diet change agenda related to diabetes control and prevention. To this end, Omega 3-enriched foods such as whole grains, fish oil andflax seed oilhave been prescribed as supplementation. Among the food choices, flax seed has become a renowned resource for Omega 3, not only for being the richest plant source, but also due to a diverse range of health benefits that include lowering blood sugar levels, regulating metabolic functions, and promoting weight loss - physiological processes that are relevant to type 2 diabetes. The husk of the flax seed is packed with dietary fibers to aid in weight loss and digestive functions, while trapped inside the husk is flax seed oil, a substance richly concentrated with Omega 3, an unsaturated type of fat much needed by the body. Omega 3 is a nutrient not synthesized by the body and should therefore be obtained from the foods we regularly consume. A century ago, diabetes was hardly a health concern due to the fact that people obtained a balanced proportion of nutrients from the diet. The same could not be said of our present food choices where saturated fats has taken deliberate control over total fat intake to exceed the ideal 30% proportion while Omega 3 uptake has been considerably reduced. Excessive deposits of fat lingering with the body can become the precursor to cardiovascular ailments and insulin resistance, the latter being attributed to the onset of diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the increasing presence of Omega 6 nutrients only undermines our nutritional position. So what then becomes an ideal diet plan for diabetics or even non-diabetics for that matter? A moderate diet change would most likely suffice where regulated fat intake becomes the primary consideration. As a rule of thumb, unsaturated fats should comprise of at least 60% of total fat intake while an optimal ratio of 4:1 between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids should be sustained. And what better way to achieve increased levels of Omega 3 nutrients than through a daily supplementation of milled flax seed sprinkled over meals. Make flax seed a daily health habit starting today!
