Healthy Blood Sugar: A Balancing Act by

   Most people diagnosed with high blood sugar, insulin
resistance or diabetes have it for years before knowing. The damage occurring
throughout the body as blood sugar slowly rises is not always obvious. Many
people understand the short-term effects of unbalanced blood sugar such as
hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia or life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. But even
if you feel  fine, uncontrolled blood sugar can cause serious long-term damage
to the heart, kidneys, eyes and nervous system. 


The Syndrome X Factor


   Blood sugar management is no longer a struggle reserved
for those with diabetes. In fact, insulin resistance — the root cause of
metabolic syndrome — increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 


   An estimated 20-30 percent of adults in industrialized
countries have metabolic syndrome — also known as insulin resistance or syndrome
X. And it becomes more common with age — afflicting approximately 40 percent of
people in their 60s and 70s. The diagnosis is made when one has three or more of
the following symptoms: 




  •    ●waistline greater than 40 inches for men or 35 inches
    for women 



  •    ●high blood pressure or taking blood pressure medication
     



  •    ●high triglycerides 



  •    ●high blood sugar or type 2 diabetes 



  •    ●low levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol 


   Excess weight — particularly around the belly — is the
biggest contributor to metabolic syndrome. You can prevent or reverse metabolic
syndrome with lifestyle changes including losing  five to ten percent of your
body weight, exercising 30 minutes or more per day and changing your diet.
Reliv’s cutting-edge blood sugar management product --
GlucAffect®— can also help. GlucAffect
is clinically proven to help manage blood sugar and reduce weight. 



Science Unlocks Nature's Potential


   Recent research has uncovered the blood-sugar-balancing
potential within many natural sources. These scientiffic advances have made it
possible to develop nutritional solutions to blood sugar management and weight
loss. 


Pycnogenol®. This French maritime pine
bark is a powerful antioxidant. A clinical study showed that Pycnogenol slowed
absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in lower blood sugar. 



Cinnamon. Although this spice has been
used in cooking for centuries, its blood sugar balancing benefits have only
recently been discovered. A clinical study published in Diabetes Care, the
journal of the American Diabetes Association, showed cinnamon to reduce serum
glucose, triglycerides and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in people with type 2
diabetes. 


Eugenia Jambolana Lam. Madeglucyl® is a
botanical a derived from the seeds of the jambul plant. Clinical data showed
Madeglucyl to lower blood glucose by 20 percent in healthy subjects and 49
percent in those with type 2 diabetes. 


Omega-3s. The omega-3 fatty acids in
fish oil have been found to help improve triglyceride levels. High
triglycerides are associated with unmanaged diabetes. According to the National
Institutes of Health’s Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, fish oil may
reduce triglyceride levels by 20 to 50 percent. 


   Each of these clinically-studied ingredients are found
in GlucAffect. 


GlucAffect: A Clinically Proven
Solution


November is Diabetes Awareness Month. It also marks the
three-year anniversary of Reliv’s revolutionary blood sugar management solution:
GlucAffect.
   Since 2008, thousands of people have discovered
GlucAffect’s nutritional solution to managing blood sugar. Each story of someone
who has been helped by this product is another reminder that nutritional science
indeed holds the key to better health. 


   In the US, 20 percent of adults su er from metabolic
syndrome, 35 percent of those over age 20 have pre-diabetes and 35 percent of
older adults have type 2 diabetes. These staggering numbers reflect an increase
in sedentary lifestyles and poor diet. But Reliv has a solution. 


   GlucAffect is clinically proven to help manage blood
sugar and weight. An eight-week, placebo-controlled clinical study observed 50
overweight individuals with elevated blood sugars. The test subjects taking four
daily servings of GlucAffect lowered their blood sugars to healthy levels. In
addition, the subjects lost an average of 16 pounds during the eight-week
period. 


   Everyone knows someone who is overweight or suffering
from unmanaged blood sugar. Who are you going to share GlucAffect with today? 



   To your health,

Scientific Officer
