Type 2 Diabetes Prevention: The Real Problem Could Be Your Body Type Says Author Rakesh Sethi, CAHP

Type 2 Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, even celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Paula Deen and many others. One key to preventing Type 2 Diabetes is diet. However this approach can be greatly enhanced by understanding one’s unique constitution

Type 2 Diabetes cases are on the rise, especially in the 20 and under age group. The problem has become so acute that many are calling it an “epidemic”. Recently the headlines have been filled with stories about high profile celebrities who have developed Type 2 Diabetes – Tom Hanks, Paula Deen and a host of others. CBS News recently ran a report about the Diabetes Atlas that projected 10 percent of the world population will have Diabetes by 2035. Forbes, in a story on the same source, called the problem ‘devastating’ and stressed the need for awareness and new medications. That’s the very bad news.

The good news is that Type 2 Diabetes can be prevented. If not prevented, it can be treated using natural, easy to implement home remedies. Rakesh Sethi, Certified Ayurveda Healthcare Professional offers natural strategies for prevention of Type 2 Diabetes in his latest book, “Health Plus Happiness Equals Wellness’.

While many people put forth the idea that a specific type of diet may be the key to preventing Type 2 Diabetes that may not necessarily be the case. The real key lies in knowing one’s unique body constitution and using that information to formulate a unique diet and lifestyle plan.

"We find in Ayurvedic medicine,” Sethi stated, “there are certain body types that are more susceptible to become diabetic. However, if you discover who you are early in your life and live the suitable diet and lifestyle AS PER YOUR BODY TYPE, you can avoid diabetes altogether.”

Knowing one’s unique body constitution can greatly increase the effectiveness of diabetes prevention and treatment strategies. This however does not stop with Type 2 diabetes – it holds true in regards to all health care strategies. Sethi stresses 5 key points in regards achieving and maintaining optimum health.

1. Before you embark upon your healthy living path, you must know what makes your body-mind composition unique. Eating and living healthy revolving around your unique composition creates a personalized wellness path which can really slow down aging throughout your life.

2. Healthy living, utilizing your unique composition, facilitates your body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Your body is self-sufficient. It is the wrong thoughts and foods that compromise its ability to live in health.

3. Once you start to eat and live according to your unique mind-body constitution, you create less stress and toxins in your body systems. You live disease free. That is the underlying secret to really slow down aging naturally.

4. On your personalized wellness path, you promote health and participate in your wellness every day.  This is the true definition of practicing preventive care and living disease free. Practicing preventive care is NOT taking tests to find out if you have a disease or not. Prevention is what you practice prior to taking those tests.

5.Your wellness path is your own personal healthcare reform. There is no healthcare reform for you unless you take charge to reform your own health.

“The reason,” Sethi continued, “why the general diet recommendations for diabetes work for some and not for others is because people are built differently. Everyone has unique mind-body constitution.   A natural treatment plan to manage diabetes will be much more effective if it is adjusted to suit an individual’s unique mind-body constitution.  Besides suitable diet and exercise based on person’s uniqueness, Ayurveda offers very useful herbal supplements that can increase metabolic rate, boost the function of pancreas, and help formation and maintenance of all tissues. With Ayurveda you can manage and live quality of life without taking meds for diabetes or prevent it from happening in the first place if you are at high risk to get it. Your mind-body constitution can reveal if you are at higher risk to get diabetes.”

In the tradition of health professionals such as Deepak Chopra, and as a Certified Ayurveda Healthcare Professional, Rakesh Sethi bases his approach on Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a health-management approach that encourages wellness, rather than a disease-management approach that treats illness. In Sanskrit, 'Ayur' means life, and 'Veda' means science. This unique medical science addresses the whole person – not just the physical being. For millennia, people have recognized the power of the mind-body relationship and its importance to overall health and wellbeing.

In addition, Ayurveda medical science addresses each individual as an entirely unique person. Unlike traditional Western medicine’s one-size-fits-all approach, the Ayurvedic medical system recognizes that everyone has a unique mind-body constitution.

Rakesh Sethi offers a wide range of both wellness products and services. He is a keynote speaker and presenter on wellness and has spoken at many Fortune 500 companies including Chevron, AT&T, Blue Shield of CA and others.

A large number of articles on specific health topics, including Type 2 Diabetes natural remedies, are available at his website and blog. He offers wellness consultations, wellness coaching, wellness workshops and wellness webinars. He considers workplace wellness to be at the top of his priority list and is available for speaking engagements, workshops and seminars for companies and corporations of all sizes. A no-charge ebook entitled 'Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally' is available for those who sign up for his newsletter.

Gina Van Luven, Author Of 'I'd Rather Scrub Toilets Than Cook!' To Host Event In Park City UT

Get Healthy - Stay Healthy is the theme of this six-week interactive program. It will be a journey to learn more about how food and lifestyle affects each individual and to learn to apply new concepts that can help one become healthier and happier

Gina Van Luven, author of 'I'd Rather Scrub Toilets Than Cook' will be hosting 'Get Healthy - Stay Healthy', a six week program beginning February 1, 2011, at Park City Yoga Studio in Park City UT. The program will be held from 7 pm to 8 pm on February 1, February 8, February 14, March 1, March 8 and March 15, 2011.

Participants in the program will learn:

* Which foods and lifestyle are best for your unique self
* To create healthy habits that are long-lasting
* How to increase energy levels “naturally”
* How lifestyle can affect digestion and metabolism
* How to reduce or eliminate cravings for processed foods
* To apply stress-reduction techniques
* How to improve your overall health and vitality

Participants in the workshop will receive a copy of her book 'I'd Rather Scrub Toilets Than Cook!'.

After counseling many clients on health and nutrition and providing them with so many simple, easy and delicious recipes, Van Luven realized she had enough recipes to create a cookbook. However, she did not want to create an ordinary cookbook. Instead, she wanted to help people “learn” to create healthy meals in their own kitchens, versus eating out. 'I’d Rather Scrub Toilets than Cook!' is a summary of Van Luven’s own struggles in the kitchen and how to overcome them.

"This book," stated Ms. Van Luven, "came from my own frustrations in the kitchen. I thought that if I could overcome my issues in the kitchen, I should put everything I learned into a book to help others. My book is the first gift I give to my clients when they start working with me. I refer to it quite a bit in my own life and in helping my clients adopt healthier eating habits."

Gina Van Luven is the founder of YOUniqueNutrition.com and its outreach program, 'The YOUnique Community'. YOUniqueNutrition.com offers individual and group health and nutrition counseling. Services also include the candida cleanse and a total body detoxification program. Products include books and nutritional supplements. Health news, healths report and health information can be accessed on the site, as well. Information is available on topics such as diet, pregnancy, nutrition, diabetic diet, constipation, diabetes, weight loss, health, depression, psoriasis, yeast infection and on many more important health topics.

The YOUnique Community puts forth the message that nutrition is more than food; it offers resources to help members in their relationships, careers, spirituality, physical activity and much more.

"Anyone," continued Van Luven, "can benefit greatly from reading my book. It was written for anyone who is 1) time-challenged, 2) doesn’t like to cook, 3) doesn’t know how to cook or 4) just wants some great, healthy recipes. Readers will also get tips about how to make their meals healthier – something many households are lacking these days. With this book, I hope to make people laugh a little and inspire their inner chef."

One thing the book does not offer, however, is a customized program for individuals. This is what Van Luven will be focusing on in the upcoming workshop.

Admission to the Park City workshop is $89. Attendees may register at www.YOUniqueNutrition.com/events.htm or by calling 435-565-2062. Couples in the same household can attend 2-for-1 with an additional $25 fee for materials.

More information, including details on the YOUnique Community is available at the company website.
