NUTRA NEWS: Beating the sugar blues with nature

Diabetes affects the stability of the body’s insulin response and several million people in the UK will become diabetic over the next ten years.

Continual excess of sugar entering the body can generate ongoing cravings for the particular sugar molecule, but there is a proven nutritional counterbalance to all this.
The trace mineral Chromium, if taken in Picolinate form, can stabilise the insulin response system of the body. Research projects over the last few years have validated this; in one double blind study participants, after taking Chromium Picolinate for an eight month period, showed a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity after four months. Extensive studies involving cases with type 2 diabetes have also shown Chromium Picolinate to assist improvement of the
condition.
This remarkable element is now often being used to assist many other kinds of cravings including tobacco. Of course, hand in hand with Chromium supplementation must come dietary change but Chromium Picolinate appears to ease the transition.
The use of a natural supplement to combat food cravings flies in the face of many current approaches. Some medical practitioners may prescribe appetite suppressant drugs to try to combat obesity, whilst others may suggest stringent diets which, after completion, are often negated by relapses to old eating habits. Natural alternatives such as Chromium Picolinate offer effective support.
