Glucose Levels and Energy Levels
November 15, 2009
Most Americans skip breakfast, grab a cup of coffee and a muffin at the local chain store, and hit the office vending machines for an extra boost of “energy” (code word for sugar) in the late morning. The long-term result of these morning habits is blood sugar levels that fluctuate wildly throughout the day. Insulin levels spike and drop in tandem with blood sugar levels, and over time many people develop “insulin resistance.” The next likely stage is developing type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease with many potentially severe consequences.

Health-Care Reform begins in the Kitchen
November 8, 2009An article in the Aug. 13, 2009, issue of the Wall Street Journal has made the obvious very clear economically — most health-care costs come with increasing age, especially after age 65. Furthermore, most of these increasing health-care costs are in the form of increased prescription drug usage. Good for the pharmaceutical industry; not so good for the growing government deficits that come with increased Medicare financing. So what does the ongoing health-care debate say about the increasing poly-pharmacy used by our aging population? Basically nothing. Let me propose a relatively radical solution: To start a drug reduction program initiated by the primary care physician for those presently enrolled in any health-care plan.
