Don't underestimate the dangers of diabetes
One of the greatest blessings of Xyngular is that it helps keep us out of harm's way where diabetes is concerned. Right along with the obesity epidemic, there is a worldwide epidemic of type-two diabetes. Many people don't know they're diabetic or at great risk until they hear the words, "you've got diabetes." By then much damage has already been done.
Almost 26 million Americans have diabetes and 79 million Americans are prediabetic. That's almost 30% of us! Even though the disease used to be called "adult-onset diabetes," many adolescents and teens are now being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes happens when your body can't manage blood-sugar levels. Blood sugar levels rise after eating meals containing higher levels of carbohydrates. If the body can't keep blood sugar, or glucose levels within a relatively close range, the glucose can become toxic to the body's cells.
Insulin resistance
The more glucose we take in, the more insulin our body must produce to help regulate blood sugar. Insulin tells our cells to convert the glucose to energy. But with too much insulin, the cells stop listening, so we produce more and more insulin to try to drive the blood sugar levels down. High insulin keeps us from burning fat and can increase inflammation.
As type 2 diabetes progresses, a variety of health conditions can follow.
• Increased oxidation (think aging and cancer risk)
• Increased risk of infections
• Double the risk of cirrhosis of the liver
• Increased risk of Alzheimer's
Diagnosing prediabetes and diabetes
You can order a test for diabetes through a lab testing center. You'll have prediabetes if your fasting blood glucose is between 100-125 mg/dL. And the diabetic range is over 125 mg/dL. Everything above 84 mg/dL is an indication of increased risk...so be sure to talk with your health care professional if your tests are over 84 mg/dL. Here are signs to watch for:
• Frequent infections including recurring infections of the skin, gums or bladder
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing cuts or bruises
• Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
How to avoid insulin resistance and diabetes by keeping your blood sugar at optimal levels
• Get your blood-glucose measured regularly. If your blood sugar levels are outside optimal range, connect with a physician. We only get one body. Be proactive with your health and take action today.
• Exercise regularly using a mixture of cardio, weights, and stretching.
• Eat fewer processed carbs and substitute whole foods, raw foods, and high fiber foods like oatmeal and sweet potatoes. Drinking 2 cans of soda a day increases your diabetes risk by 26%.
• Eat low-fat protein at each meal. Omega 3s in fish and grass-fed beef are a plus.
• Consider other dietary supplements that can help support blood sugar management.
• Feel free to share thoughts or ask questions below.
ACTION STEPS:
1. When you share information from this article, you can save lives. Share facts about diabetes and prediabetes regularly on Facebook and in conversations with friends.
2. Share diabetes success stories from ConneXions on Facebook. People will call and ask you questions.

5 things you may not know about your weight
Are thin people really more healthy than overweight people? Generally yes, but your body weight tells you nothing about where hidden fat might be accumulating on your body.As you age, you may lose muscle and gain fat but see little change in your overall weight. This is especially true if you have the visceral fat Dr. Oz talks so much about that's packed in and around your abdominal organs. It puts you at risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. So the "muffin top" and belly on slender people might be a sign that they should try Xyngular products.
It's certainly possible to be thin and unhealthy, but there are far more unhealthy overweight people than unhealthy thin people.
The major factor in poor health among overweight people is insulin and leptin resistance. It's what Dr. Joseph Mercola calls "metabolically fit." And insulin resistance tells you whether you're headed toward a host of chronic, degenerative illnesses.
How do you measure how "metabolically fit" you are? Perhaps the easiest way to measure your weight and metabolic fitness is your waist size. It predicts your heart risks better than your body-mass index (BMI). It also tells you how insulin sensitive you are. It tells you your risk of diabetes.
Simply fit that tape measure around the smallest area of your abdomen below your rib cage and about an inch above your belly button.
• For men, between 37 and 40 inches is overweight and more than 40 inches is obese
• For women, 31.5 to 34.6 inches is overweight and more than 34.6 inches is obese
5 things you may not know about your weight
• You can change your metabolism: A study of sets of twins where one was fat and the other thin found that fat cells in heavier twins underwent metabolic changes that make it more difficult to burn fat. Physical activity can reverse the effect.
• Stress can make you fat. Stress can cause cravings for carbohydrate-rich foods. Stress hormones help your body turn to fat storage.
• Poor sleep habits can make you fat. When you don't get enough sleep your body's leptin levels go down. Leptin is the hormone that helps you feel full. Lack of sleep also increases your ghrelin (a hormone that makes you more hungry).
• Sugar works like a drug: Research is increasingly demonstrating that foods that turn quickly to sugars in the body (like sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and simple white flour baked goods or pasta) excite the same parts of the brain that are activated in drug addicts. Simply decreasing your dependency on processed foods and soda is a giant step in improving your weight, insulin resistance and health.
• Antioxidants help you feel full. Free radicals harm the cells that tell you you're full. Use antioxidant-rich products like Super Fruit Global Blend™, AXION™, and XypStix™.
A prescription for optimal health and weight
No matter what your current weight and health, here are some fundamental guidelines that will always help you move to your ideal weight and health.
• Eat a diet of mainly fresh, whole foods. Enjoy raw, whole fruits and vegetables
• Get super antioxidants and supplemental nutrition from Xyngular Super Fruit Global Blend, XypStix, and AXION.
• Maintain a normal weight by using the Xyngular CORE4™.
• Limit things that are quickly converted to sugar in your body—highly processed grain products, high fructose corn syrup (sodas)
• Drink plenty of water...up to a gallon a day
• Manage your stress by getting plenty of sleep and giving yourself a balanced life of fun and work
• Enjoy regular exercise including a mixture of aerobics, strength training, core exercises, and stretching
• Limit toxins by using a natural cleanse like FLUSH
• Consume healthy fats like olive oil and omega-3 fats
ACTION STEPS:
1. One of the great advantages of being a Xyngular Distributor is that you have become an "expert" on great health. By understanding, endorsing, and following the basics of optimal health, you will always be a walking example the people will want to follow.
2. Use your Facebook posts to challenge your team to get behind those fundamentals that are most difficult. Admit your weaknesses and publicly challenge yourself to improve.

"I'm now staying home with my kids and bringing in an income...a dream come true"
I'm the mother of 3 young children. When I started the Xyngular® products I was desperate. I was always thin, but after my heavy pregnancies I held onto a ton of weight. With IGNITE™, I saw immediate results. To date, after a year, I am down 75 pounds. I have more energy, feel healthier, and am in better shape than when I was in college. I won't go a day without Xyngular products, they have given me a second chance at a healthier lifestyle. This is just the beginning!My husband owned a pizzeria for several years. It took over our lives. Our family and marriage suffered tremendously because of it. Since getting rid of it last year, we have taken off with Xyngular. We have taken several trips with the company, including Sundance. WOW! The opportunity we have here is beyond spectacular. With Xyngular, the sky is the limit. The leaders are so down-to-earth and we feel like a family. I'm now staying home with my kids and bringing in an income.
What a dream come true!

"I found my jump-start to a healthier lifestyle"
I lost 12 pounds on IGNITE, and within 16 days I was down 18 pounds and feeling great. I found my jump-start to a healthier lifestyle. I've now lost 30 pounds in 60 days and continue to use all the Xyngular products.
I hit Manager in my first month with Xyngular and have been earning income ever since. Having no Network marketing experience, I've received big support from the Xyngular family. I am able to produce a second income from the comfort of home and love that Xyngular is all about working together, one team, and one vision. I look forward to many more good times.
