Diabetes Treatment with Diet

Losing sight of yourself and forgetting about what used to make you tick and feel joyful about is so common when the routine that you have done for years and years, suddenly isn’t there anymore. It could be that you have reached a certain age, responsibilities diminish i.e., the children leave for college or when you have decided to retire.  A huge part of your daily life that was so consuming is suddenly not there anymore.  You didn’t have a chance to think in those days and now, you have the time to think, yet you are filling up every moment doing nothing that makes YOU happy. And there’s a possibility that you have long running stress in your body and mind, which can leave you feeling slightly depressed. You may be wondering about your purpose in life, temporarily, at this time.  Being older, you may have more physical concerns: a health condition that is flaring up in ways that have become challenging and leaving you with less confidence. You need a huge pick-me-up that is long-lasting. It feels like a miracle needs to happen, right? Paulina, 57, is a retired businesswoman from London Ontario. She had been in management for the retail industry for almost 40 years. Starting young, she had 23 years of running her own business and then 16 years working for a luxury retail company.  Alongside her successful career, she was raising two girls while her husband travelled extensively with his job. Life was fun but stressful, as she tried to juggle all of it in order to have a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle.  Fast forward and the girls grow up and leave home and Paulina continues to work hard.  As their lifestyle became more comfortable, they purchased a condo in Miami and tried to visit every couple of months for a two week break.  Those two weeks were so precious to her and her husband; the ocean breeze, warmth, daily swimming and the switch off from routine made her forget about the stresses of life.  Being in Miami throughout the winter helped her re-energize in order to face the next couple of months back home, where winter was brutal. 8 weeks later, they would be back again and so on.  It was at this time, during those two week breaks and on the flight home, she realised that she had lost herself.  She couldn’t remember what she liked to do, what music she loved, food she really enjoyed, what made her heart sing – what made her feel good. She spent most of the time working hard and not switching off enough.  She remembered that she used to continually feel excitement about making connections at work, activities and events, the children and their achievements and look forward to meeting friends for dinner. It was all wrapped up in a busy lifestyle but it was fun. It was hectic and she wouldn’t change it for the world. Wonderful memories.  What did she feel now, though? That is just it. What does she feel? She has to dig deep trying to work out what would make her heart sing again. What did she have to do to bring some of that energy and joie de vivre back? She almost felt numb trying to jig a little enthusiasm up.  She had always been on the go and now?  She didn’t have financial worries, her family were well and she had the home in Miami and access to it every two weeks. 

Diabetes can Present itself later in Life

Visiting her doctor, she discovered that she had developed the onset of type 2 Diabetes and other conditions were creeping in.  Deciding that it was a good time to retire, her two-week stays in Miami were not limited anymore and she could spend weeks enjoying the beautiful sunshine and hearing the ocean breeze to drift off to sleep at night. Having time to think about herself and explore her concerns about stress, diabetes, other small health issues and feeling low, she discovered Eat Burn Sleep’s anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle program. Paulina hadn’t realised how stressed that she was, once she embarked on the program. Then with continuation and being guided through each day with movement, advice, recipes and full support, it helped her wind down, relax, eat well and enjoy life again.  Paulina wrote: I recommend everyone finds an outlet to help relieve the stresses of daily life. Yalda, once I joined your lifestyle, it made me realise how stressed I have been as well as developing small health issues. I didn’t have serious conditions other the onset of type 2 Diabetes which I have managed to maintain due to your lifestyle program. My greatest pleasure was meeting YOU in Miami this past weekend.
