Do you struggle with blood sugar issues? The latest research shows a link between gut flora imbalance and risk for type 2 diabetes, giving you good reason to get your gut back on track!

Australian researchers measured the brain size of 312 adults aged 70-90 using MRI scans, repeating the measurement after two years. Those with worsening blood sugar control or type 2 diabetes lost 2.5 cubic inches of brain volume, compared to 1 cubic inch lost as part of “normal aging” in those with proper blood sugar levels. Loss of brain volume was...

Elevated blood sugar has a sugar-coating effect on healthy body structures, stiffening them and aging them faster. New research with humans shows a 150% increased risk for cognitive decline and 160% increased risk for dementia in patients with type II diabetes.

Adult onset diabetes impairs cognitive function in the early stages of the problem – and this impaired function persists into older age. This data confirms that high blood sugar caramelizes healthy brain cells, reducing the ability of the brain to perform executive functions at a normal speed.
