Diet ideas for weight loss and diabetes

July 10, 2016

Thinking of diabetes Type 1 and 2 is enough to encourage healthy eating. The point is, it is healthy to come up with a healthy food plan vital for a fruitful self-management process. To create a meal plan that will work for your health as well as your overall wellbeing you need to be well acquainted with the food nutrient, go for foods that will help regulate your blood glucose, control the portions you take and lastly, seek help.

How to Do It

  1. Understanding the foods you eat

The food nutrients are categorized into three that includes proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

  • Fats: The main purpose of fats in your body is to repair and help the cells to function. Higher levels of fat are stored in several places in your body. The stored fat as much as we don’t want it is intended to back up your energy source. Among the foods that contain fats include oils, butter, and nuts.
  • Protein: Proteins work best to repair tissues and build muscles, organs, and bones. They are found in foods such as eggs, fish, poultry, and meat.

  1. Carbohydrates: These provide your body with the energy it needs to function. You can source your carbohydrates from foods such as bread, pasta, and rice. You can also find them in fruits. Your body turns carbohydrates into glucose that goes into the cells to give out the energy, but with the help of insulin.
  2. Go for foods that will help control your blood glucose

You already know the risk of abnormal levels of blood glucose, so, you don’t need to worry about being introduced to new foods. You need to involve more vegetables and fruits in your diet. Instead of pasta and processed bread, go for whole grain foods. Also, include healthy fats and oils that are also unsaturated. Avoid meat with more fat. Instead go with cheese, low-fat milk, and many other healthy dairy products. What you should limit is alcohol, salt, and sugar.

  1. Control your portion size

Fortunately, if you are one of those who don’t want to let go of certain foods, you can always eat what you want. But this requires you to be able to control the portion size. The point is, too much of any food you take will not only destroy your meal plan but will also make it harder for you to lose some weight. Taking a lot of food will also make it harder for your body to control the blood glucose levels. Besides, you can keep the food and eat it later.

  1. Develop a consistent healthy eating habit

Most of the times, eating snacks regularly is one of the ways you can maintain your regular carbohydrate intake. If you can keep it that way, it is unlikely that you will want to eat bad foods. Also, remember not to skip any meal simply because it will compromise your meal plan or lower the levels of blood glucose in your body. You also need to eat the same amount each day for your body to get used to it.

The final word

If you can’t do this alone, you always have an option of seeking some help. Make your work easier by seeking help from a dietician and a doctor.

Women’s Sexuality In The 20th Century And Today.

March 20, 2016

Women’s Sexuality In The 20th Century And Today.

women sexualityAs seen with many tests, reports and surveys, women’s sexuality was becoming something of a big issue, receiving interests and attention from all quarters of life. This sudden flurry of interest was believed to have started with the publication of a book titled “What Do Women Want? Adventures in the Science of Female Desire” by Daniel Bergner. This book was one of the greatest hits on the New York Times list. It was focused on the treatment of women that has low sexual libidos although many angles have been explored and current researches are still going on, on women’s sexuality in the 20th century and today.

As each day goes by the complexity of the sexual character or behavior of women seems to be spiraling beyond control. Evolutionally, females are seen as the conservatives when it comes to sex. While they are careful in choosing their partners, they are mostly loyal and steady in their relationships. Males are the ones who don’t attach too much importance to who they have sex with and are mostly not so committed. For males, it’s the pleasure first before the commitment. As such, they tend to just choose a partner at random and they are more likely to have multiple partners that not. However, with the recent results shown in researches and studies conducted on the 20th Century women, the story has changed to a large extent.

The today’s woman tends to have sexual appetite that may not be as consistent as what obtains in the past. Women today want to enjoy sex with reckless abandon, something that would have been more consistent with me. They want the good sex. For them, they have been taken for granted for too long. According to the research, many females interviewed agreed that they have always had desires for passionate and unrestricted sexual life but that has not always been seen as normal within social, political and religious points of view. A woman who seeks to express or explore her sexuality will soon be seen as promiscuous. Today however, there seems to be a newfound freedom for women to express their sexuality.

The TV seems to be one of the biggest pivots in changing women’s sexuality in the 20th century and today. Turn on the TV and you are watching a show that is displaying women expressing their sexual appetite as they like it. Gone are the days when sex used to be something you keep for the sacred confines of marriage, you can now pick it up on the alleyways, in the restrooms, the hotels and anywhere you like it and this doesn’t look too good for the menfolk. Also, with the increased number of women fighting for women rights in public and personal domains, women have come to see themselves as deprived for too long and are therefore no longer ready to play the servant any longer to men in their relationships. In most movies today, where women are lead characters, they are portrayed as confident and assertive. Many magazines today are focused on helping women discover their various sexual potentials.

The published work of Williams Masters, M.D and Virginia Johnson was a groundbreaking one on Human Sexual Inadequacy in 1970 was a groundbreaking one. According to the studies, more than 50% of women have unsatisfying sexual lives in their relationships. Then, it was believed that the cause was either conservative cultural issues or ignorance of how sex works. It was the general believe that men are the experts in sex and that they should be gentler with women. This was one of the errors we have seen as today, it appears men don’t even know anything about sex.

Women claim they have been on the conservative because there was little or no way to reduce the occurrence of pregnancies when they have sex and no woman wants to get pregnant for any random man. Today however, contraceptives are everywhere. This has given women the ability to have sex without worrying about getting pregnant. Most women today have long-term partners for the purpose of raising family; people they hardly now enjoy sex with and because of that, have a couple other males outside with whom they enjoy steamy and passionate sexual encounters with no strings attached.

The thought of this has raised too much dust and it is understandable. Men feel insecure because they don’t know who now satisfied their partners outside. It’s kind of crazy because one out of every 5 women you see go by is keen on sex without borders. The question still remain “How did we get here?” Women sexuality is now celebrated and this definitely is not doing too much good to anyone. These are issues that are bothering to parents and people in relationships alike and no one really knows how to put an end to such.

We invite you to join us at the Aware Med Network Conference where issues on women’s sexuality in 20th century and today will be discussed among other topics

Women Sexual Revolution

March 14, 2016

Recap After looking at the Women’s sexuality was not a huge issue and rampant until the 20th century with the “Sexual Revolution”

Women sexual revolutionAfter looking the Women’s sexuality or sexual revolution presently going on among today’s women, it became obvious that it is a topic that really needs to be addressed. Women today actually are “free” sexually, or so it seem, throwing caution away and willing to explore their sexual appetites. There is really nothing wrong with wanting to explore if it were for the purposes of discovery. But the issue is, more often than not, exploration leads to discovery and then there is increasing desire to discover more till it all spirals out of control.

Several factors have been claimed to be responsible for the increased sexual awareness among women. For the purposes of this article, let us focus on the Pill or contraceptives.

In the late 60’s, a feminist movement started rabble rousing, challenging the government that women should not be excluded from politics and the workplace. This feminist movement also placed clauses on sexual roles of women. At the center of the sexual revolution, started by the movement was that women also enjoy sex just like men do and that they have sexual needs too. The movement also argued that women who are single should be free to express their sexual desires without prejudice in the society. This whole movement was aimed at empowering women sexually. However, the social conservatives then see this as a way of inviting sexual promiscuity in the society and eventually, the family. This way of sexual revolution, therefore started in the 60s between the social conservatives and the feminists. Amidst these arguments, the Pill was brought into focus.

The social conservatives argued that the Pill is evil because it allows women to have sexual affairs without the worry of pregnancy. Many have even argued that the sexual revolution was possible because of the pill because it simply empowered women to separate sex from procreation, something that has not been possible before. In the past, women are forced to kill or suppress their sexual desires at the thought of getting pregnant except when they are really ready for that. The thought of getting pregnant held single women back from having sexual affairs before marriage. Now since the Pill can control fertility and pregnancy occurrence, single and married women now could have sex anytime, anyhow, any place and with anyone without worrying about pregnancy.

The argument of the Feminist Movement was that there is double standard in place. Why should single men be free to have sex when young women are not allowed to do same? The idea of young women behaving like men disturbed too many people. The Pill was tagged and this was not without response from the makers of the Pill.

In reply to the conservatives who have tagged the Pill as the evil that will cause promiscuity to explode, John Rock and Gregory Pincus said that the technology of the Pill is not the determinant of the behavior. Although the veneer of the Chaste Society and the Social conservatives does not agree, there appears to be evidence to back up their views clinically. Studies carried out to prove this showed that unmarried women were already having sex prior to the advent of the pill. They were using other methods to prevent pregnancy although the other methods were less effective.

Today, the way between the conservatives and the Feminist movement seemed to have ended because there seems to be no societal emphasis on chastity or virginity and marriage any longer. What we have now are celebrations of single women displaying their sexuality as they wish. There have been many books written and many movies shot that promote female sexuality and the sexual revolution among women, gently pushing aside every contrary view.

After a careful look, we can all see that this is a big issue. You can sit at the bus station and watch every woman and one out of every 5 is sexually free. Marriage doesn’t even seem to hold some women down as they are free to use pills, go and have sexual affairs with other men outside the confines of marriage. Now this has standard and lasting adverse effects on the family and the future generation. This is why attention has been given to the Sexual revolution among the 20th century women lately.

So the pill was the culprit, as it is still believed by most social conservatives but is it? Yes the pill gave women power to have sex without worrying about pregnancy but will it still be responsible for the moral breakdown in the society? What about the condom?

Sexual revolution and women sexuality today still remains an issue that no one really knows which direction it’s going. There seems to be more forces in support than against and this further erodes the moral levels of our society.

Female Sexuality Throughout History And Women Sexual Evolution

March 13, 2016

Female Sexuality Throughout History And Women Sexual Evolution

female sexualityFemale sexuality and female sexual desire has received a decent influx of interest in recent times. There is the curiosity around women sexual evolution which is really a big deal to men. Female sexuality includes processes and behaviors such as sexual behavior, sexual identity which also includes the psychological, physiological, social, cultural, political and spiritual aspects of it. Female sexuality can generally be seen as how females behave sexually. In looking at female sexuality throughout history and women sexual evolution, it has become obvious that there have been large changes in what is seen as the normal or acceptable or the usual as against what we currently see in women today.

For instance, women are seen to be more meticulous and conservative about who they have sex with in the past. They consider the cost and implications. They look out for certain qualities and traits, things that they find attractive and interesting and probably qualities they would love to be passed down to their offspring. Basically, from this point of view, female sexuality would be based on setting up a family. From time in memorial, men has been the ones that are careless when it has to do with sexuality. For men, it is largely about the experience, the pleasure more than the consequences of having sex.

However today, the whole table seems to be turning and men are freaking out. Female sexuality throughout history is not the same as we have now. Women are evolving. They are finding it easier to have sex with just any man who looks right, without considering the consequences. Nowadays, it’s about the pleasure first, before anything. So if a man can do her right, then he can’t get a pass. Friedrich Nietzsche said “Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love” which makes it clear that women have now evolved.

In few studies that have been carried out, it has been made clear that the physical and mental responses of heterosexual women to visual presented sexual stimuli is higher. This shows that women’s bodies are specially designed for high interest in sex. However, because men have been the ones who control the sexuality arena, or so it seems, more often than not, women may deliberately shut down their own physical arousal in order to be absent from sexual intercourse. This is as far as it goes within a family setting. However today, women are stepping out to look for the desire and arousal everywhere else.

In recent studies, it appears women have lost interest in sex with their long term partners, their husbands and boyfriends. They are now much more interested in other men or males who can drive the passions they have. They seem to be pretty much interested in one night stands, with no strings attached. This used to be what men do! Men are now very worried when choosing their partners. Since most men attribute authority and ‘manliness’ to the ability to satisfy the desires of their partner, they worry a lot as to who their partner has been with and how well the person was able to sexually arouse her. If a male gets unlucky and marries one of the active females, then chances are that he will be competing with many males that have been in her life. This newfound sexual freedom for women therefore brings a lot of anxiety for males. Technically, for men, women are not supposed to evolve this way.

Males have always shown hallmarks of indiscriminate past – the drive to mate and with whom they mate doesn’t count. They just mate. Since females have had long histories of choice of whom they mate with, they certainly have developed mechanisms they use to measure and evaluate the quality of partners and as such adjust the levels of their desire accordingly. Now where this gets funny is, at some point in their relationship, this partner that used to bring desire ceases to and there is another need for another partner who can bring the required sexual stimulation for them to become sexually interested again.

At a point, if critically looked upon, it looks as if sexual monogamy is not really authentic any longer and marriage should be forgotten but that will be untrue because humans will always require that long-term partnerships. The fact that women have evolved sexually and are now sexually active as much as men doesn’t mean it is good. There just has to be a balance sought in between these things. An understanding of human sexual evolution and how women have always been very sexual will help us approach the thought of women sexual evolution very well.

You are invited to the Aware Med Network Conference where this and many more topics will be discussed deeply.
