New Antioxidant Supplement - Apply Poly®
People with diabetes --- due to the more or less continuous presence of high blood sugar --- experience "biochemical chaos" in their bodies that leads to many problems. Excess sugar in the blood acts as a powerful oxidizing agent, producing compounds called "free radicals" that oxidize other compounds, including blood fats. Oxidized blood fats are much more dangerous than normal fats, thereby increasing the buildup of plaque and the hardening of the arteries; from here, high blood pressure develops. Not only that, but high levels of blood sugar also increase the tendency to form blood clots, increasing the chance of a heart attack. High blood sugar also contributes to the formation of "advanced glycation endproducts" or AGEs --- which have also been implicated as an underlying contributor to diabetes complications.
So aside from the basic strategy of keeping blood sugar as close as possible to normal (80-120 mg/dl), targeted nutritional supplements that have scientific support can be helpful in the War against Diabetes. And Apple Poly is just such a supplement. Dietary supplements never take the place of a healthy diet & exercise program, nor can they offset an unhealthy diet, but combined with a good nutritional program, they can be an additional weapon.
To find out more about the new Apple Poly antioxidant supplement, an all-natural extract from apple skins, that has been scientifically supported to help with weight loss, reducing cholesterol, and in fighting the damage caused by oxidative stress --- go to www.applepoly.com/diabetes.
