Chef Paula Deen’s Recent Disclosure of Type 2 Diabetes is a Reminder of the Importance of Proper Diet, Exercise and Diabetes Supplements, Says ProactiveLife

Government Statistics on Diabetes

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

After learning of Chef Paula Deen’s revelation she has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes ProactiveLife (http://www.proactivelife.com), a company focused on helping people manage type 2 diabetes, has formed a community of expert dietitians and exercise trainers. The purpose is to provide guidance to type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics in terms of diet, exercise and natural supplementation. Experts agree proper diet (low in fats and sugars) along with regular exercise is crucial to diabetic management.

According to government statistics, over 33% of Americans are considered obese in 2010. During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. In 2010, no state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Leading causes of Type 2 Diabetes include poor diet (fat and sugars) lack of exercise and age. Consuming high quantities of fried food, saturated fats, sugars leads to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

According to the Diabetes Prevention Program presented by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) diet and exercise could dramatically reduce the chances of developing diabetes. The DPP’s results indicate that millions of high-risk people can delay or avoid developing type 2 diabetes by losing weight through regular physical activity and a diet low in fat and calories. Weight loss and physical activity lower the risk of diabetes by improving the body’s ability to use insulin and process glucose. Participants in the lifestyle intervention group-those receiving intensive individual counseling and motivational support on effective diet, exercise, and behavior modification-reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 58 percent.

“When you think you don’t have time for fitness you should ask yourself if you have time to be sick, diseased, tired, or depressed?  Staying fit is not a luxury! Ultimately, we all want to appear prettier, sexier and more desirable but these should be the rewards of fitness not the goals. Understanding why we should stay fit will help to remind you of one simple fact…. ‘Health is your biggest wealth,’” says Michael Stirk expert trainer and former US Navy helicopter rescue swimmer.

“If you have type 2 diabetes, your doctor probably encouraged you to make some dietary changes to help get your blood sugar under control. If you understand that blood sugar control is needed to the prevent complications of diabetes, you have an important reason to continually remind you “why” you need to make this change. For any change to last, the reason has to be important to you,” says Gretchen Scalpi (registered dietitian,  certified diabetes educator, and certified Wellcoach®).

ProactiveLife (http://www.proactivelife.com) was founded in 2011 to help people living with chronic disease take control of their health. The approach incorporates community, lifestyle changes, and natural supplements which have been clinically proven to assist people with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes Support contains 10 clinically proven ingredients to lower blood sugar naturally including cocoa, cinnamon, omega-3, vitamin D and others. Along with lifestyle changes including diet and exercise Diabetes Support is a new proactive approach to Type 2 Diabetes management.

Question by beautiful & cruel: How do you separate the “stage” and ACTUAL depression?
I see so much questions “How do i know if i am depressed” and the answers follow “You are only a teen, you can get through it, its not depression”. How do you separate feelings of depression from that stage teens go through.
I am just curious..

Best answer:

Answer by katie
I’m not sure there really is a “stage.” I personally suffered from depression from high school, into college, and now as an adult. Some kids just are more intuned with their emotions.

MANY people suffer from depression without even knowing it, or admitting it. Some think you can grow out of it, but honestly, it is a chemical imbalance that can start at any mature age and last for a lifetime. I wouldn’t take any chances, and still seek help. Usually a guidance councilor can detect any real harmful signs of depression and point you in the right direction for seeking help.

There are different types of depression:

Major Depression:
The sufferer seems to walk around with the weight of the world on his or her shoulders. He or she seems disinterested in becoming involved in regular activities and seems convinced that he or she will always be in this hopeless state. There is a lack of interest in sexual activity and in appetite and a weight loss.

Atypical Depression:
Symptoms of atypical depression include fatigue, oversleeping, overeating and weight gain. People who suffer from atypical depression believe that outside events control their mood (i.e. success, attention and praise).

Psychotic Depression:
Sufferers of psychotic depression begin to hear and see imaginary things – - sounds, voices and visuals that do not exist. The hallucinations are not “positive” like they are with a manic depressive. The sufferer of psychotic depression imagines frightening and negative sounds and images.

Dysthymia:
Many people just walk around seeming depressed – - simply sad, blue or melancholic. They have been this way all of their lives. This is dysthymia – - a condition that people are not even aware of but just live with daily. They go through life feeling unimportant, dissatisfied, frightened and simply don’t enjoy their lives.

Manic Depression:
Manic depression can be defined as an emotional disorder characterized by changing mood shifts from depression to mania which can sometimes be quite rapid. People who suffer from manic depression have an extremely high rate of suicide.

Teen Depression or “stage in life”:
Yes, the teen years are tough, but most teens balance the requisite angst with good friendships, success in school or outside activities, and the development of a strong sense of self. Occasional bad moods or acting out is to be expected, but depression is something different. depression can destroy the very essence of a teenager’s personality, causing an overwhelming sense of sadness, despair, or anger. With all this drama, it isn’t always easy to differentiate between depression and normal teenage moodiness. For some depressed teens, symptoms of irritability, aggression, and rage are more prominent.

Read up on it and don’t be afraid to ask a doctor on what the differences are as well.

Good Luck!

Question by Thundercat: Can a woman suffer from “hair depression”?
I noticed that a female coworkers hair looked different (from last week). She nearly started crying and told me about her awful haircut including “hair depression.”

Best answer:

Answer by ~♥Shi♥~
Yes you can suffer from hair depression. If your hair looks like shit on a daily basis it
WILL depress you. I went through many of these depressions and I’m currently in one. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence…

Question by Sakura: How can I get out of ” Sadness and depression“?
I have break up with my boyfriend in January and since then I have been going through so much of mental depression and anxiety that I haven’t yet been able to get out of it. I always cry, and this has affected my health a lot as well. Most f the time I’m lost in some other world and this has made me very unmindful. I’m not able to concentrate on anything properly. I used to be a very cheerful person before. However, after this incident, I have got such a big mental shock that I haven’t been able to overcome it, and eversince, I’ve not been able to become the same me as I used to be. Can you suggest something that would be able to help me out?

Best answer:

Answer by marie
only you can pull yourself out of this state of mind. Try going out with friends and remember there is a wonderful world with living.

Sensitivity & Diversity Training Tips Published to Address Aftermath of Holiday Parties and Social Media

What photos are making their way around your office this month?

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

With 13 years experience providing Executive Sensitivity and Diversity Training to top executives and key people faced with sexual harassment and diversity related complaints, DB Pargman Consulting LLC announces the publication of “5 Tips to Get Your Company Over the post holiday HANGOVER and Get Your People Back to Work!” Like the final scenes of the popular Hangover movies where the guys review pictures of their exploits from the night before, January is a time where pictures and stories of the holidays are shared around the office. The recent publication (available in a 7 minute video) provides 5 practical steps human resources, legal, and management can take when they fear one of those pictures or stories might be the subject of a sexual harassment complaint in the future.

Founder and CEO Deena Pargman, Ph.D. observes, “With a camera in everyone’s pocket linked to social media sites, an embarrassing moment from the company holiday party is preserved forever, it is making its way around your office, and there is someone in your organization who does not think it is funny.”

January is a popular time for sexual harassment and diversity related complaints. The post-holiday blues and winter depressions can move disgruntled employees to act against the company and co-workers. A text picture of a drunken colleague from the company party can be used as a weapon by the disgruntled, according to Dr. Pargman. “5 Tips” is designed to help companies prepare for or react to those pictures before they can be used as ammunition and is available at http://www.DBPtraining.com.

DB Pargman Consulting LLC is a leading specialized provider of both reactive and proactive employment practices loss control services including One-to-One Executive Sensitivity Training and Group Diversity & Sensitivity Training. When an organization and it’s Key People face conflicts, accusations, or potential litigation relating to diversity or sensitivity issues, DB Pargman provides prompt and remedial responses that meet expectations of legal compliance, and perhaps more importantly, restore and enhance the performance of Key People.
