Eat
Fat, It Is OK
Longevity studies are showing that there is hardly anything in
common among the long living humans. They have high cholesterol
and low cholesterol, some exercise and some don't, some smoke,
some don't. Some are nasty as can be and some nice and calm and
nice. Some are ornery, but they all low sugar, relatively for
their age. They all have low triglycerides for their age. And
they all have relatively low insulin. Insulin is the common
denominator in many illnesses.
Insulin is found as in even single celled organisms. It has
been around for several billion years. And its purpose in some
organisms is to regulate life span. The way genetics works is
that genes are not replaced, they are built upon. We have the
same genes as everything that came before us. We just have more
of them.
We have added books to our genetic library, but our base is
the same. What we are finding is that we can use insulin to
regulate lifespan too. If there is a single marker for lifespan,
as they are finding in the centenarian studies, it is insulin,
specifically, insulin sensitivity. How sensitive are your cells
to insulin? When they are not sensitive, the insulin levels go
up. Who has heard of the term insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is the basis of all of the chronic
diseases of aging, because the disease itself is actually aging.
We know now that aging is a disease. The other case studies show
that cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes,
cancer, all the so- called chronic diseases of aging,
auto-immune diseases, are only symptoms.

Greetings!
Here is a fairly controversial article that explains
how our lifestyles, and eating habits, influence our
health. Dr Ron Rosedale has found that many people
should not be eating sugars and starches.
This information fits well with Eat for Your Blood
Type information that has been available to us for
years. So especially if you are Type O, do read this
article. It will explain a lot.

Insulin
and Magnesium
What else does insulin do? It doesn't just store
carbohydrates, by the way. It is an anabolic hormone.
Body builders are using insulin because it is legal.
They are injecting themselves with insulin because it
builds muscle, it stores protein too.
A lesser known fact is that insulin also stores
magnesium. We mentioned it's role in vitamin C, it
stores all sorts of nutrients. But what happens if your
cells become resistant to insulin? First of all you
can't store magnesium so you lose it, that's one effect,
you lose it out the urine.
What is one of magnesium's major roles? To relax
muscles. Intracellular magnesium relaxes muscles. What
happens when you can't store magnesium because the cell
is resistant? You lose magnesium and your blood vessels
constrict, what does that do? Increases blood pressure,
and reduces energy since intracellular magnesium is
required for all energy producing reactions that take
place in the cell. But most importantly, magnesium is
also necessary for the action of insulin. It is also
necessary for the manufacture of insulin.
So then you raise your insulin, you lose magnesium,
and the cells become even more insulin resistant. Blood
vessels constrict, glucose and insulin can't get to the
tissues, which makes them more insulin resistant, so the
insulin levels go up and you lose more magnesium. This
is the vicious cycle that goes on from before you were
born.

Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type
Links between our blood type and optimal nutrition have
been well researched and documented. An individual's
genetics can best determine their optimum diet.
Not everybody should be a vegetarian, or a meat
eater. Food combining, also known as Fit For Life or
Natural Hygiene has proved to work very well for most
people.

Supplement With Magnesium
Numerous articles show us that supplementing with
magnesium relieves many health challenges. We have
compiled a number of them into one document.
The bottom line is that high blood pressure,
diabetes, heart problems, obesity, and even cravings or
addictions have responded well to magnesium
supplementation. Twilight products offer the most
effective form of it.
