The Profect Solution for DiabeticsWritten by Protica Research
Continued from page 1
Yet perhaps most appreciated by diabetics is fact that eating Profect is very convenient. It requires no cooking ability, nor creation of a messy – and potentially poorly configured – health “shake” that might actually add too much protein to system, and lead to adverse toxic buildup. The fact that Profect is convenient may seem like something of a marketing “benefit”, to be touted on a website or a package container, but reason for this has nothing to do with marketing appeal. People with diabetes, just like most of population, lead busy lives in which time is of essence. Finding 2 or 3 hours each day to create foods is oftentimes unrealistic. It is because of this need for a convenient and easily accessible food that Protica Research created 2.7 fluid ounce container to protect each serving. These containers are extremely strong, easy to carry and store, and are deliberately suited for busy, time-starved lifestyles. Dealing with diabetes is a reality that more than 18 million Americans face each day, and over next 2 decades rate of diabetes is expected to increase by almost 250% throughout developing world [vi]. Daily – one might say hourly – some of finest brains in science are searching for preventions and cures that will help millions of people diagnosed with diabetes to lead full, healthy lives. Aligned with this ultimate mission is Profect’s eating solution for diabetics and healthy eaters alike.

| | The Glycemic Index and DietingWritten by Protica Research
Continued from page 1
The above scenario only takes place, however, when a dieter unwittingly eats high Glycemic Index foods. Research has shown that low Glycemic Index foods, which raise blood sugar levels much more gradually than high Glycemic Index foods, are very helpful for dieters [ii]. This is because a dieter will experience less of a “roller-coaster” ride while on diet, and furthermore, will be less inclined to snack because energy in form of blood glucose is being released slowly and gradually. Low Glycemic Index foods are much more efficient sources of energy than high Glycemic Index foods, because body needs less insulin to convert food into energy [iii]. Despite growing awareness that low Glycemic Index foods are beneficial, world of diet foods has not kept pace. This is because many manufacturers are searching frantically to find low Glycemic Index carbohydrates sources for their products, and overlooking a basic, simple fact: lowest possibly Glycemic Index is no carbohydrates at all. These zero-carbohydrate/zero sugar nutritional supplements – which are quite rare in market – do not deliver any sugar to bloodstream. As a result, dieters do not have to worry about riding “roller coaster” of energy spikes and pitfalls. Yet there is an even greater benefit for dieters who choose a ‘zero sugar’ nutritional supplement. If that low Glycemic Index nutritional supplement is rich in complete protein, then it will act as a sort of antidote to high GI foods by helping to combat their adverse consequences. For example, a dieter who eats a high Glycemic Index candy car can mitigate roller-coaster spike in blood sugar levels by eating a nutritional supplement that has very low Glycemic Index and has a rich source of complete protein. This is because protein in nutritional supplement mixes with high Glycemic Index of candy bar, and effectively lowers overall Glycemic Index. This is welcome news to dieters who would otherwise be seeing those extra carbohydrates transformed by insulin into triglycerides, and stored in adipose tissue; also known as body fat. Currently, only a handful of nutritional supplements are designed to offer zero carbohydrates and thus score as low as possible on Glycemic Index. And of these zero-carbohydrate products, even fewer offer a rich source of complete protein that effectively helps counter blood sugar spike impact of high Glycemic Index foods. It is inspiring to note that Glycemic Index is getting some well-deserved attention from outside diabetic community, where it has helped millions of people eat wisely. Now, dieters and obese people can enjoy wisdom that this index promotes.
