How PH balance effects your body

In my other Life I used to be a chemical water treatment tech.I was responsible for testing boiler water and chiller water for" amongst" other things it's Ph balance-Potential Hydrogen and in that business there was a term" Total dissolved solids" and like in that business it was important to find out the PH of the water in these systems to rid the equipment of these"TdS"other wise early equipment failure would occur from the system rusting from the inside out.As the system was headed to an early scrap heap, it would also malfunction very often until the entire system just shut down. The PH in our bodies is just as important as the body produces acids ,if the level becomes to high it makes other bodily functions more difficult to perform. so if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a certain weight having your body in Ph balance makes these task a lot easier.

Happy birthday2me! phew!

46th and loving it, it was touch and go there for a moment diagnosed in 97' with glucose levels high enough to make a buffalo go blind,insulin dependant and afraid of needles, by the time I was released from the hospital , the company that I was working for, had folded and my mentor and matriarch of our once,close knit and happy family was lying on her death bed. One shimmering glimmer of light was the ease in which i was able to obtain jobs in the past and the money was pretty good.So with bills mounting and my mind totally on me and my great grandmother I set out to get another job to continue ,what i knew best, keep on grinding until it got better, but this time would be very different something was happening to me that I thought i had no control over and my vision was effected to the point i could not see well enough to do the job i had been trained so many years to do. I will tell you what happened to change my life some other time after, all it's my birthday.

Good foods not so good for diabetics

Oatmeal ,carrots,Granola ,wheat bread ,white bread and of course pastas, potatoes rice all of these foods metabolize as sugars in the bloodstream ,But these foods are particularly dangerous to diabetics as they raise the test levels higher than most any other foods avoid them at all cost. Instead try more leafy greens like spinach and any type of lettuce for pasta try miracle noodles and even an array of beans and legumes to eat for better health ,avoid all types of processed meats ie...hotdogs ,halfsmokes these are also some of the worst types of foods for diabetics and for people who would like to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet Try turkey and salmondogs

Couch potatoe=ouch potatoe

To minimize or avoid all together the painful side effects diabetes can cause,we must take certain steps. Like the only way to watch a sporting event on television ,is with your ass on a treadmill or elliptical.Otherwise your stuck watching millionaires in great shape, with lots of cash make more money and get in better shape and you ,on the other hand may not even at least have a wager on the damn thing.If you don't like these exercise ideas ,you can also get some dumbbells and do reps during the event.This works to keep you from developing certain conditions known as neuropothy-aka nerve damage that causes pain and sometimes a loss of feelings in the extremeties. So while I watch Chuck Liddel give them hell ,I get in ten sets -ten reps with light to moderate weight nothing to heavy.but very effective.
