Alongside spinach, cashews and almonds are some of the best sources of magnesium in the human diet. The fact they are convenient, low carb and delicious is just a bonus.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of bodily processes, including blood sugar regulation.

The mechanism of action is unclear, but low magnesium levels is strongly associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It seems to influence insulin secretion, which may be why so many diabetics have low magnesium.

Additionally, clinical trials have shown that correcting low magnesium improves insulin response and lowers blood sugar levels.

Thank you SO much!

Tumeric is my new "savior." That spice is essential to my overall recovery, as well as magnesium rich foods. Thanks for adding really useful ideas and tips to this forum thread, Dominique!

If you haven't watched this documentary, I highly recommend watching it. Here's an trailer for the film, and I think you can even watch it for free online (google is very helpful to find it).

While the proverbial jury is still out on giving plant based diets the full stamp of approval, there is strong indicators of proof that plant based diets will not only improve your overall health, but if you have pre-diabetes issues associated with blood sugar levels and how your body produces and uses its own natural insulin, then this article will give you an better understanding of why changing your normal food choices to an Plant Based Diet, could save your life.

I radically changed my diet to be top heavy on Plant Based foods, which in turn has allowed my bodily processes to self correct in natural ways. I am on an medically supervised diet as prescribed by my primary physician. As well as switching to an plant based diet, I continue to lose weight, my heart function improves and before too long, I won't need experimental medication to aid in correcting my blood sugar issues .

Bonus info to other medically endorsed studies discussing Plant Based Diets is included in this scholarly article.

Katzchen, I just floated over to this thread to let folks know of this film. Thank you for posting this because I don't know how to put up videos like the above.

I was saying in the other thread that I had been feeling like utter crap for 4 months. I was so fatigued, felt physically sluggish, was sleeping all day both days of the weekend. I didn't know what was up. I had no idea that it could be about my increase in eating meat (chicken...from once a week to several times a week) and dairy (from no cheese, to cheese 1-2 times a week) and eating processed foods (from very rare, to somewhat common).

Within a couple of days of eating vegan, fresh foods, I started feeling better. I just started this past Tuesday. Now the weekend is over and I had energy from morning until night for both days, with no naps.

Was it Hippocrates who said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"

Katzchen, I have been taking Tumeric since my colon cancer in 2010. I was off point for a couple of years due to cost, but I have been back on it for a while. Chronic disease is all about inflammation and Tumeric is the butt kicker (well that, and a plant based diet)!

Yes, I believe it was Hippocrates. What a brilliant physician, right?!?!!

I'm not that overweight, but the foods I thought were so good turned out to be poison. Poison as in: sugar, flours, and most types of meat (bacon, any red meat, white meat, etc), except I can have fish in very small portions. But eventually I hope to be entirely free of meat, any animal meat. I am invested heavily for my own sake in correcting my food choices, permanently. And yes, 100 percent agree with you that Plant Based Food choices leave you in the best shape possible, as well as full of energy!
