People who stop smoking often replace cigarettes with food. A new study says the weight they gain may increase their diabetes risk in the short term. Type two diabetes is common in people who eat too much and exercise too little and those with a family history of it.

Smoking is another risk factor. But quitting smoking may carry a temporary risk. The study found that smokers who quit had a seventy percent increased risk of developing diabetes in the first six years. That was compared to those who had never smoked.

The risks were highest in the first three years. And the risk returned to normal after ten years of not smoking.

The researchers say weight gain is probably to blame for the increase. But they say smokers should stop anyway — and the real message is not to even start. Type two diabetes interferes with the body’s use of insulin. The substance produced by the pancreas normally lowers blood sugar during and after eating. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and nerve damage. The study is from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It appears in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Another American study says obesity has become as great a threat to quality of life as smoking.
It compared losses in what are called “quality-adjusted life years.” The study found that losses from obesity are now equal to, if not greater than, those from smoking.

These days, there are fewer smokers in the country but more people who are extremely overweight. The findings are based on questions about health-related quality of life in government telephone surveys. The study is from Columbia University and the City College of New York. It appears in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

And another study has linked each hour of watching television daily to an eighteen percent increased risk of death from heart disease. The study of adults in Australia also found an increased risk of death from others causes. The findings are published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

Lead author David Dunstan at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Victoria says the body was designed to move. He says even if people have a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on blood sugar and blood fats.

The U.S.A. and former Soviet Union spent 10 Trillion dollars over 40 years on a cold war, which could have replaced the entire infrastructure of the world.

The most lucrative business in the world is the military industrial complex.

This is because it is primarily funded by governments.

Governments are primarily funded by taxpayers.

The power behind the military industrial complex has always been international bankers.

When we have business only for business sake, no matter the cost (socially and environmentally), the result is the many critical challenges now facing the planet. It is definitely time to start considering the type of future we wish to leave our children, and more importantly, what we need to do to change, in order to create it. The thing to remember about the future is that it is created by what we do in the present.

If we examine the fundamental global issue of providing equality in the quality of life to everyone on this planet we see that the problem is not the availability of resources, but the willingness to distribute resources on a global basis on an equitable basis. This requires the conscious willingness to create a quality of life for everyone on this planet.

It is important to understand that to achieve this outcome primarily requires a fundamental shift in consciousness of political and business leaders towards a willingness to achieve this outcome. Political and business leaders are influenced by public opinion and the global community creates public opinion. And the community is made up of individuals like you and I. The power is ultimately in our hands!

It is not a question of whether we can do it, it is only based on if we are willing to do it!

Did you know glutathione is the most powerful, prevalent antioxidant in your body? Increasing your glutathione level will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system.

MaxGXLs® Patent Pending Formula Dramatically Increases Intracellular GSH.
MaxGXL provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body’s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL also aids in liver support, thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.

Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Bodys Production and Utilization of GSH. Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.

Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will NOT Increase The Bodys GSH Levels. It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system. On the other hand, MaxGXL™ provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body’s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL™ also aids in liver support by destroying environmental poisons helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.

Important Roles of Glutathione

• Fights against oxidative cell damage (from free radicals)

• Protein synthesis

• Amino acid transport

• Cellular detoxification

• Immune system enhancement

• Enzyme activation

• Fights cellular Inflammation

• ATP (energy) production

Our cells are constantly under attack by free radicals, which can cause a reduction of our cells’ ability to function optimally.

Where do free radicals come from?

• Created during normal metabolism

• Environmental pollutants like radiation, herbicides, pesticides

• Cigarette smoke

Types of Free Radicals
The fight against free radicals is often a tricky one. There is not a singular form of free radical. Science has confirmed that there are many different types of free radicals, including:

• Superoxide

• Hydrogen peroxide

• Singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals

Important Note: Not all antioxidants can sufficiently match up with all types of free radicals. The great news about glutathione is that regardless of the type of free radical, glutathione has the ability to properly match up and neutralize it, thus increasing cellular protection and function.

MaxGXL

• Researched and developed by one of the world’s top scientists

• Patent protected

• Documented to raise glutathione in the lymphocytes (white blood cells)

• Everyone you know deserves to hear about this discovery
