Diabetes Rate Doubles Worldwide

The Rate of Diabetes has doubled over the past 25 years. It is an epidemic and shows no sign or abating. Actually the opposite, it seems like it is spreading to ever younger children who become obese and ineffective in life before the age of 10.

We have the answers to cure diabetes and stop the epidemic. We must eat less refined sugar, refined flour, refined rice, less sodas, less fried foods, less empty calories. We need to eat more green foods, more fruits, more simple vegetarian foods.

We should immediately tax all sugar foods like we do for cigarettes simply to factor in the impact that diabetes related health care costs have on the overall health care budget. We can solve this one! It is simple! Tax sugar and educate people and make it harder for companies to poison people with junk foods... especially children.

Obese woman

BBC REPORTS Today:

The number of adults with diabetes in the world has more than doubled since 1980, a study in the Lancet says.

Researchers from Imperial College London and Harvard University in the US analysed data from 2.7m people across the world, using statistical techniques to project a worldwide figure.

The total number of people with all forms of the disease - which can be fatal - has risen from 153m to 347m.

The authors called for better detection and treatment to combat the rise.

Its authors said 70% of the rise was down to people living longer.

The rise has been most pronounced in the Pacific Islands. In the Marshall Islands a third of all women have the condition.

Majid Ezzati, of Imperial College London, said: "Diabetes is becoming more common almost everywhere in the world.

"Unless we develop better programmes for detecting people with elevated blood sugar and helping them to control their weight, diabetes will continue to impose a major burden on health systems around the world."

Yoga for Veterans in Miami and South Florida

Attention Yoga Teachers:
We will be having a FREE workshop shortly at Brickell Hot Yoga to train teachers how to teach Yoga to VETERANS who have returned from duty in Iraq and Afganistan. Studios that want to participate can email me and i will put you in touch with the director of the fledgling organization... David Frankel is his name!

I will announce the time and date of the workshop and then this will be a springboard for the program beginning at Brickell Studio as well as sending teachers to the V.A.

this is all volunteer...pure karma yoga... and these guys deserve to have some peace and meditation, some yoga, in their lives. they have risked their life and many are very injured and traumatized... so if you have a drive to help Veterans and their families by teaching them yoga... email me to fredb@miamiyoga.com

i am the number one culprit of someone who lives a life without thinking about these guys out there in war...this is one way we can all step up and do our share to help these men and women reintegrate and relax a bit

the organization that i am supporting is called CONNECTED WARRIORS

email me to fredb@miamiyoga.com if you want to get on my list of possible teachers for this

Warnings coming to cigarette packs finally!

Finally the USA is catching up with Europe on the labelling of cigarettes boxes!

Why do we breathe deep in Yoga?

The reason why we breathe deep in yoga is not because it is correct. The reason we breathe with awareness and deeply is because when our attention is yoked to the breath, the mind can begin to still. We are not interested in a still mind because it is the right technique, but rather because when the mind is still it is inherently blissful.

It is what Patanjali says, Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodah - Yoga is found in the present moment when the fluctuations of the mind (thinking mind activity) have been suspended.
