The weekend, time to remove stress?
It's Friday and that used to be enough for most be people to relax, unwind and lose stress. Today, especially if you have kids the weekend ramps up to be even more hectic and fast paced than the week. There are sports, birthday parties, shopping, driving to friends, waiting for them to get ready and so much more not to mention yard work and cleaning the house...whew!
In a simpler time the Man would come home and the wife would hand him a cold one when he walked through the door followed by the kids handing over the remote and then he could watch the game or just a mindless comedy or action movie. Even farther back in time the five o'clock whistle could generate enough excitement to yell "Yabba Dabba Do". The working Woman would on the other hand would expect that the husband would be attentive to her needs have a bath drawn and then take the kids away for hours. Well it's not quite that easy any more. (perhaps it never really was)

Diabetes affects many families.
Our family has seen the slow and painful effects of Diabetes for over 30 years, first with my Mom and now Sonia's. It might come as a shock to you and the family when you find out someone has Diabetes but the progression of symptoms and lifestyle choices were building up for years. Sometimes it can be 10 years or more before Diabetes is diagnosed. Dr. Ray Strand covered Diabetes in one of his newsletters titled: Diabetes is a Choice. Here is the beginning of Dr. Strand's Newsletter.
One of the greatest challenges to our health care system is the dramatic rise in the incidence of both obesity and diabetes. In the U.S. and Canada, diabetes has increased more than 500% during just the last generation. More than seventy percent of adults and more than thirty percent of our children are considered to be either overweight or obese. In spite of spending more than 30 billion dollars each year on diets and weight loss programs, the rate of obesity has tripled in this country in the past thirty years. Even more alarming is the fact that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has projected that one-third of our children born after the year 2000 will become diabetic...read the full newsletter.
