I have tried to explain, as simply as I can, diabetes mellitus, the types, risk factors, how to control it, when to prevent it and how. The good news is that type 2 diabetes which is more common is preventable even if genes may play a significant role in it. It should be pointed out that type 2 diabetes may eventually convert to the type 1, if poorly controlled and managed, as the high plasma glucose will eventually destroy the islets cells that produce insulin. The resulting types 1 and 2 mix, from this conversion, makes management even the more difficult. Although genes may play some role in diabetes, we can modify the genes by making some lifestyle modifications, mainly exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and eating nuts, fruits and vegetables, all of which are rich in fiber and micronutrients. Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 diabetes. While type 1 occurs mostly in childhood, due to autoimmunity(your body making antibodies to destroy your beta cells of the islets), m...

We are not just products of our genes but more especially what we make with them. The human brain cell expresses more genes than any other cell in our body in adulthood. So our brain cells are most active. The conscious mind places thoughts and ideas in the subconscious mind(habitual or automatic mind) which are then evoked for action  i.e. the conscious mind programs  the subconscious mind. The thoughts must be followed by strong feelings for good  imprint to take place. Once this is done, you then feel natural about them. Imagination, which switches on genes in the brain cells for imprint in the subconscious mind, must preceed major achievements, discoveries and inventions. Imagination is unique to one's experiences and environments, is personal and limitless, as opposed to conventional knowledge. The divine mind(universal subconscious mind), the spirit, the higher self, is what makes us part of the Supernatural bei...

They say 'Beauty is skin deep' but, better put, it is 'body and mind deep'. Most young-looking skins have some things in common: they have intact collagen and elastin which make skin tight and elastic, preventing sagging and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin are produced by fibroblasts and hold together skin cells that naturally die to form keratin in the outer protective layer of the skin( cornified epidermis). Collagen and elastin are protein in nature. (What goes for the skin is applicable to the hair as well) With time and aging this outer skin is subject to damage from environmental factors such as oxygen in the air and sunlight, which together produce damaging reactive free radicals. Excessive cold or heat puts stress(pressure) and strain(stretch) to the skin and will also damage the skin. Skin aging is usually due to damage from free radicals which are produced as a result of psychological stress, disease and toxins such as smoking, drugs and indulgence in too m...
