I understand that if I am
a diabetic, that I need to
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.61
really watch my carbohydrates
and the type of carbs
00:00:03.64\00:00:06.32
that I eat. Sometimes
I need to count my carbs,
00:00:06.35\00:00:09.14
was that important or
not? Well, today's program
00:00:09.17\00:00:11.28
is just for you entitled
00:00:11.31\00:00:12.80
'Diabetes and
Carbohydrates.' So stay by.
00:00:12.83\00:00:15.88
Hi, welcome to Abundant
Living. This is Curtis Eakins
00:00:41.44\00:00:44.07
your co-host,
which means that I have
00:00:44.10\00:00:46.26
another co-host with
me, my partner in crime.
00:00:46.29\00:00:49.39
Well, not in
crime, just my partner.
00:00:49.42\00:00:51.74
That's the crime out part. Okay.
00:00:51.77\00:00:54.98
And how are you
doing, honey? I am fine.
00:00:55.01\00:00:57.38
And. Paula, Paula
Eakins. Paula Eakins,
00:00:57.41\00:01:00.07
okay, same last name,
so we're married. Yes.
00:01:00.10\00:01:02.84
Holy matrimony? It's
been pretty good though,
00:01:02.87\00:01:04.59
16 years,
wouldn't you agree. Yeah.
00:01:04.62\00:01:07.25
That's a little slight
hesitation, but yeah, but
00:01:07.28\00:01:10.24
I was just
thinking before the program
00:01:10.27\00:01:11.73
started and my mind
is still back. Okay,
00:01:11.76\00:01:13.92
we're not going to
share with them what happened
00:01:13.95\00:01:15.84
before the program. I
am not going to share,
00:01:15.87\00:01:17.24
You're gonna keep
on going with diabetes
00:01:17.27\00:01:19.86
and carbohydrates.
Yes, and again this
00:01:19.89\00:01:23.33
is part of a running series
entitled defeating diabetes.
00:01:23.36\00:01:28.02
So after this program
we have two more other
00:01:28.05\00:01:30.54
programs dealing
with diabetes, lifestyle
00:01:30.57\00:01:33.21
to reverse
diabetes, and also diabetes
00:01:33.24\00:01:36.39
and botanical medicine as well.
00:01:36.42\00:01:38.04
So but this program
defeating diabetes is
00:01:38.07\00:01:40.68
a series but diabetes
and carbohydrates that's
00:01:40.71\00:01:43.27
the key thing that a
lot of people have one
00:01:43.30\00:01:46.03
in mind about the
carbohydrates, what type of
00:01:46.06\00:01:48.41
carbs and making
sure I count my carbs, so
00:01:48.44\00:01:49.81
we're trying to share
with you certain information
00:01:49.84\00:01:53.61
that you need that
will make it a lot plainer.
00:01:53.64\00:01:55.68
Let's start off by
defining the term carbohydrates.
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.02
Okay, now this definition
again I will go back into
00:01:59.05\00:02:03.02
my grade school
years. And I hope my teacher
00:02:03.05\00:02:06.05
is watching. By
the way, She told us to
00:02:06.08\00:02:07.58
I guess about 45
years ago in grade school.
00:02:07.61\00:02:09.51
She says, class, she
probably got tired of asking her
00:02:09.54\00:02:14.27
questions about
what does word mean?
00:02:14.30\00:02:15.97
She said class, if
you don't know what a word
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.01
means try to define
the components of a word
00:02:18.04\00:02:21.10
and then put those
definitions together,
00:02:21.13\00:02:24.20
see if you can come
up with the meaning of
00:02:24.23\00:02:26.03
that word. So we're
going do that with the word
00:02:26.06\00:02:28.84
carbohydrates, okay,
it's basically two words;
00:02:28.87\00:02:33.44
carbo comes from the
word carbon, a basic element
00:02:33.47\00:02:39.99
found in all living
organisms. It's used for energy,
00:02:40.02\00:02:46.49
used for combustion.
You know, back into 70s
00:02:46.52\00:02:48.99
are those who
remember who are old enough,
00:02:49.02\00:02:51.06
I know my brother
had a 67 red mustang,
00:02:51.09\00:02:54.78
wide tires, a spoiler
in the back and he had
00:02:54.81\00:02:58.62
a four barrel carb, carburetor.
00:02:58.65\00:03:03.78
So the more
carbs he had, the more
00:03:03.81\00:03:06.96
fuel and faster
the 67 Camaro ran and
00:03:06.99\00:03:10.70
a lot of times he
would do little lot of races
00:03:10.73\00:03:12.27
in the street when
this is years ago, now
00:03:12.30\00:03:14.17
so. He never lost a race anyway.
00:03:14.20\00:03:16.53
So, the body needs
carbon, a basic element
00:03:16.56\00:03:21.58
for fuel, alright, carburetor
is fuel for the automobile.
00:03:21.61\00:03:25.96
Carbohydrate is
fuel for the body.
00:03:25.99\00:03:29.42
Now the second part of
that what it is hydrate.
00:03:29.45\00:03:31.56
Now, a lot of
people know about hydrate
00:03:32.06\00:03:33.48
because if you're
dehydrated that means you have
00:03:33.51\00:03:37.20
a lack of water, so the
word hydrate simply water.
00:03:37.23\00:03:40.39
And of course the body
is made up of 67 percent
00:03:40.42\00:03:43.20
water, of bone or brain,
the blood that's all water.
00:03:43.23\00:03:46.57
So we keep those two
words together carbo,
00:03:46.60\00:03:50.03
carbon, a basic element
for living organism that all
00:03:50.06\00:03:54.89
need for energy.
Hydrate, water, our bodies
00:03:54.92\00:03:59.15
are made up
water, thereby we need
00:03:59.18\00:04:01.39
carbohydrate for
daily living processes.
00:04:01.42\00:04:07.33
So we need carbohydrates.
Now it's interesting
00:04:07.36\00:04:10.22
that God's word
has something say about
00:04:10.25\00:04:13.40
carbohydrates as well. And
look at God's original diet.
00:04:13.43\00:04:17.57
Let's go to screen. Let's
look at God's original diet,
00:04:17.60\00:04:19.70
okay, let's see if
God's original diet
00:04:19.73\00:04:21.68
has from
carbohydrates in it as well.
00:04:21.71\00:04:24.58
'Cause we'll explain
that later on in detail.
00:04:24.61\00:04:26.27
The Bible says, this is
Genesis 1:29, NIV. It says,
00:04:26.30\00:04:30.30
"I give you every
seed-bearing plant, and every
00:04:30.33\00:04:35.44
tree that has
fruit. They will be yours
00:04:35.47\00:04:39.28
for food." So fruit is a
carbohydrate and we're going
00:04:39.31\00:04:43.96
to explain that
later on in the program.
00:04:43.99\00:04:45.36
Now that's before
sin, after sin God added
00:04:45.39\00:04:49.92
something to the
diet. Let's go to our screen
00:04:49.95\00:04:51.90
for the next diet,
the additional diet,
00:04:51.93\00:04:54.22
Genesis 3:18 and God
says, "And you will eat
00:04:54.25\00:04:57.51
the plants of the
field." Thereby with those two
00:04:57.54\00:05:02.40
texts together a food
from the tree, plants from
00:05:02.43\00:05:06.91
the field, a plant based
diet that is in abundance
00:05:06.94\00:05:12.50
of carbohydrate, alright,
so it's very popular for that.
00:05:12.53\00:05:19.53
Now with that in mind,
Honey, let's go through the
00:05:19.56\00:05:22.74
process because
when someone eats foods,
00:05:22.77\00:05:25.85
particularly carbohydrates
walk us through as far as
00:05:25.88\00:05:30.42
what happens in a body
system. I think we have
00:05:30.45\00:05:32.39
a graphic for that. Let's
show the graphic this time
00:05:32.42\00:05:34.10
in, kind of walk us
through the process, okay,
00:05:34.13\00:05:36.29
alright. Okay, the minute
we eat any type of carbohydrate
00:05:36.32\00:05:39.76
what happens is it alerts
the system, that the carbon
00:05:39.79\00:05:42.94
or the sugars in
the blood itself.
00:05:42.97\00:05:45.42
Now, the name of the game is
that the pancreas is alerted.
00:05:45.45\00:05:48.60
It will then, we want
to look at then the insulin
00:05:48.63\00:05:52.22
is also coming
out from the pancreas.
00:05:52.25\00:05:54.54
The first part of the
glucose is going to go
00:05:54.57\00:05:56.60
into the muscle and
or into the liver, okay,
00:05:56.63\00:06:00.10
both areas. It goes
from the glucose or the sugar
00:06:00.13\00:06:03.85
to a glycogen. It's stored
there to give us the energy
00:06:03.88\00:06:07.11
we need to have and
from there and from that
00:06:07.14\00:06:09.21
point anything in excess
other than what the body needs
00:06:09.24\00:06:11.89
then goes into fat
storing cells, okay,
00:06:11.92\00:06:15.67
now after this whole
process, and thanks for the
00:06:15.70\00:06:17.92
graphic, after this
whole process, what happens
00:06:17.95\00:06:20.28
is it then moves
back into it's normalcy.
00:06:20.31\00:06:23.77
In other words, the
bloodstream is clear.
00:06:23.80\00:06:25.58
Otherwise if the
blood, if the sugar stays
00:06:25.61\00:06:29.06
in the blood does
not go to the liver or to
00:06:29.09\00:06:31.18
muscle, does not
go to fat storage
00:06:31.21\00:06:33.03
then it's going to be
remaining in the blood
00:06:33.06\00:06:35.92
via they're the ones
that are causing a problem
00:06:35.95\00:06:37.92
for diabetes. Okay,
so this is a process that
00:06:37.95\00:06:40.82
nicely takes over when
we take in carbohydrates,
00:06:40.85\00:06:43.86
right, absolutely. So
pancreas is alerted sends
00:06:43.89\00:06:46.83
out the insulin, takes
that glucose, moves into the
00:06:46.86\00:06:49.38
muscle for energy, store
that, that's called glycogen,
00:06:49.41\00:06:52.74
right, moves into the
liver for stored glucose,
00:06:52.77\00:06:55.84
that's called
glycogen as well, yes, then the
00:06:55.87\00:06:58.01
rest goes into
the fat storing cells.
00:06:58.04\00:06:59.88
Now I think if we have
any type of physical activity
00:06:59.91\00:07:05.29
than actual glucose
does not go into the fat
00:07:05.32\00:07:08.50
storing cells,
that's right, it will stop
00:07:08.53\00:07:10.57
because the muscles
house that extra glycogen
00:07:10.60\00:07:14.02
there for any type
of physical activity
00:07:14.05\00:07:16.66
so with that in
mind we also are designed
00:07:16.69\00:07:18.72
to engage in some
type of physical activity,
00:07:18.75\00:07:22.01
thereby the extra
glucose does not go into
00:07:22.04\00:07:24.92
the fat storing cells.
That's right, that's right.
00:07:24.95\00:07:26.58
Now having said all
of that I know there are
00:07:26.61\00:07:28.89
different types of
carbohydrates, alright,
00:07:28.92\00:07:31.90
kind of walk us
through the different types of
00:07:31.93\00:07:34.16
carbohydrates
and what do they mean
00:07:34.19\00:07:35.83
as far as diabetes is concerned?
00:07:35.86\00:07:37.59
Well, we have three
types; one is you sugars,
00:07:37.62\00:07:39.76
the other
starches and the other one
00:07:39.79\00:07:41.53
is fiber itself. Okay.
When you break them down
00:07:41.56\00:07:43.96
as we look at the
carbohydrate kingdom,
00:07:43.99\00:07:46.14
we talk about the
sugar, we talk about
00:07:46.17\00:07:47.82
natural sugars.
Natural occurring sugar will be
00:07:47.85\00:07:50.50
that in your fruits, bananas,
your apples, your oranges,
00:07:50.53\00:07:53.28
naturally occurring. Now
there is also a processed sugar
00:07:53.31\00:07:56.48
and that's means that
chemically that particular
00:07:56.51\00:07:59.79
item has been altered
chemically. So refined.
00:07:59.82\00:08:03.09
Become refined,
become processed, you know,
00:08:03.12\00:08:05.42
you find your cakes,
your cookies, your pies,
00:08:05.45\00:08:06.87
so on and so forth.
These words when we look
00:08:06.90\00:08:09.34
on an ingredient list,
on an item you're buying,
00:08:09.37\00:08:12.07
a processed item.
You will see another word
00:08:12.10\00:08:14.20
that's OSE and you
will see dextrose, maltose,
00:08:14.23\00:08:18.92
lactose, sucrose
all those OSEs means
00:08:18.95\00:08:23.79
that item is no
longer, what's been tampered,
00:08:23.82\00:08:26.18
with, it's no longer in
it's natural state, okay,
00:08:26.21\00:08:28.35
that's other than sugar area.
00:08:28.38\00:08:29.75
We're talking about the
starches. Now we're talking
00:08:29.78\00:08:31.70
about your starchy vegetables.
00:08:31.73\00:08:33.61
We are talking about
the peas and the beans,
00:08:33.64\00:08:36.24
or corn, those are all
part of the what we call
00:08:36.27\00:08:39.92
the starchy vegetable
kingdom, alright, and along
00:08:39.95\00:08:43.02
with that when we talk
about starchy vegetable
00:08:43.05\00:08:44.66
whole grain is a part of that.
00:08:44.69\00:08:46.27
Your oats are a
part of that, now we're
00:08:46.30\00:08:48.19
talking all whole items
of brown rice, whole wheat
00:08:48.22\00:08:52.44
bread, okay, we are
not talking about the
00:08:52.47\00:08:54.03
process for it, okay,
okay, and we are talking
00:08:54.06\00:08:56.23
white rice. We are talking about
00:08:56.26\00:08:57.96
whole wheat flour.
We are not talking about
00:08:57.99\00:08:59.87
white flour. These
are very, very important
00:08:59.90\00:09:02.09
especially when we talk
about that insulin level
00:09:02.12\00:09:04.31
doing what it needs
to do as far as getting
00:09:04.34\00:09:06.60
the sugar, glucose
into the cell itself.
00:09:06.63\00:09:10.85
If we maintain that
glucose level, normalcy,
00:09:10.88\00:09:13.58
had it's normalcy
because when we take
00:09:13.61\00:09:15.52
a white refined
product then we have a
00:09:15.55\00:09:18.37
glucose spike,
absolutely. The higher the
00:09:18.40\00:09:21.05
spike the greater
the drop, absolutely,
00:09:21.08\00:09:23.56
so you want that.
You want the normalcy
00:09:23.59\00:09:25.58
where we say it kind
of goes up very, very
00:09:25.61\00:09:27.96
slow think about
it when you eat a bowl
00:09:27.99\00:09:29.83
of beans and rice.
Beans and brown rice.
00:09:29.86\00:09:31.30
You will notice
that you actually stay
00:09:31.33\00:09:35.17
for a longer but
also the normalcy
00:09:35.20\00:09:37.35
of the sugar level
stays also at a normalcy
00:09:37.38\00:09:39.98
versus if you eat
a donuts or cookies.
00:09:40.01\00:09:42.94
It spikes up real high
and then it comes back down,
00:09:42.97\00:09:45.85
yeah, okay, the
other one is fiber,
00:09:45.88\00:09:48.21
okay, and a fiber is
believe it or not the
00:09:48.24\00:09:50.75
roughage portion that
creator God put on our
00:09:50.78\00:09:52.91
foods and we
talk about the fiber.
00:09:52.94\00:09:54.62
We are talking about
the skin in the seeds
00:09:54.65\00:09:56.39
of the actual vegetable
kingdom, okay, alright,
00:09:56.42\00:09:59.71
and then also that
it's indigestible, the body
00:09:59.74\00:10:02.57
can't break it
down. That's the blessing.
00:10:02.60\00:10:04.36
Okay. So, with the
fiber that also helps to
00:10:04.39\00:10:07.42
normalize glucose levels
too, absolutely, with that
00:10:07.45\00:10:09.72
fiber. And that's,
that's a normalizing factor,
00:10:09.75\00:10:12.12
Curtis, because on the
beans you got the skin.
00:10:12.15\00:10:13.88
On the nuts you have
the skin. Okay, on even
00:10:13.91\00:10:16.22
brown rice you have
the hull, so all of that
00:10:16.25\00:10:18.99
is a part of the
fiber and fiber plays an
00:10:19.02\00:10:21.51
important role.
As a matter of fact,
00:10:21.54\00:10:23.25
I have some things
down here talks about
00:10:23.28\00:10:25.02
what fiber can do to
benefit something? Okay,
00:10:25.05\00:10:26.75
it can normalize
glucose as we are talking about.
00:10:26.78\00:10:29.35
Normalizing the
glucose at a normalcy.
00:10:29.38\00:10:31.79
It can assist in
digestion which is very, very
00:10:31.82\00:10:34.88
important. It gives a
sense of fullness, you know,
00:10:34.91\00:10:38.03
when you do that
beans and rice or soups
00:10:38.06\00:10:40.14
that's got lots of
good veggies in it.
00:10:40.17\00:10:41.90
You stay fuller,
longer, alright. How about
00:10:41.93\00:10:45.05
lowering cholesterol
levels? People who have
00:10:45.08\00:10:46.97
problem with
that. They go on a plant
00:10:47.00\00:10:49.04
based kingdom,
eating more fibrous foods,
00:10:49.07\00:10:51.43
then of course, they will
do the same thing and then
00:10:51.46\00:10:53.38
of course it helps
to maintain regularly.
00:10:53.41\00:10:55.98
So all of these at
the benefits of fibers,
00:10:56.01\00:10:58.10
so we have sugar,
we have the starches,
00:10:58.13\00:11:00.14
we also have the
fiber. The creator God
00:11:00.17\00:11:02.16
knew what he was
doing and he gave that
00:11:02.19\00:11:04.41
diet to us, just as
you said, in Genesis 1:29,
00:11:04.44\00:11:08.83
and of course, 3:18.
Yes, okay, very good.
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.64
Well, speaking of
that there is a term called
00:11:11.67\00:11:13.74
chromium. Okay. And
what kind of role is
00:11:13.77\00:11:16.67
chromium play,
when we talk about the
00:11:16.70\00:11:18.81
carbohydrates.
Yeah, chromium plays a
00:11:18.84\00:11:20.91
very critical role
as far as enhancing the
00:11:20.94\00:11:25.01
production of
insulin, okay. Insulin means
00:11:25.04\00:11:28.51
chromium to be produced. Okay.
00:11:28.54\00:11:31.45
And so with that in
mind, chrome is very
00:11:31.48\00:11:33.30
critical in overall
scope of diabetes management.
00:11:33.33\00:11:36.76
Let me explain, there
is not a lot of chromium
00:11:36.79\00:11:41.11
in the plant
kingdom. Right, right. This is
00:11:41.14\00:11:43.16
a trace mineral
now, alright. We're
00:11:43.19\00:11:44.82
talking about not
milligrams, but micrograms.
00:11:44.85\00:11:47.37
Right. Right, so
with that in the mind
00:11:47.40\00:11:48.99
we need chromium for help
with the insulin production.
00:11:49.02\00:11:52.23
Now with that in
mind, some of the foods has
00:11:52.26\00:11:54.66
high amount of
chromium.. This is also
00:11:54.69\00:11:57.16
in your workbook,
the number one food that
00:11:57.19\00:11:59.42
are found is broccoli
or half cup of broccoli,
00:11:59.45\00:12:02.61
okay, 11 micrograms of
chromium in the half cup
00:12:02.64\00:12:05.74
of broccoli this is
cooked. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:12:05.77\00:12:07.76
Now is that just in
broccoli or is there other foods
00:12:07.79\00:12:12.34
as well. Well, other foods
as well, particularly in the
00:12:12.37\00:12:15.15
whole wheat product
category, as far as your
00:12:15.18\00:12:18.18
bread, your buns, those
kind of things, your English
00:12:18.21\00:12:21.72
muffins. So that's why
those are who diabetic,
00:12:21.75\00:12:24.04
those who even not
a diabetic it will be
00:12:24.07\00:12:26.87
advantageous to buy whole wheat
00:12:26.90\00:12:29.76
about 100
percent bread products.
00:12:29.79\00:12:32.53
That way you get also
the chromium that body
00:12:32.56\00:12:35.42
needs to help
enhance insulin production.
00:12:35.45\00:12:38.61
Alright, more about
that in our work book,
00:12:38.64\00:12:41.33
but I think it's time
to go into the kitchen
00:12:41.36\00:12:42.73
because we're going
to do a little test too.
00:12:42.76\00:12:44.15
Yes, and I am glad
you brought that up,
00:12:44.18\00:12:45.55
we're going to do a
little test, but I am glad your
00:12:45.58\00:12:46.95
brought up about
the broccoli, yes.
00:12:46.98\00:12:48.78
Because our dish today is a
Thai Chicken, "Mock Chicken"
00:12:48.81\00:12:55.90
stir-fry, and we're
gonna have some real goodies
00:12:55.93\00:12:58.44
in there some
things which just got there
00:12:58.47\00:12:59.84
talking about that
fiber and all that kind
00:12:59.87\00:13:01.24
of good stuff, so you
want to get your paper
00:13:01.27\00:13:03.29
and your pencil and
meet us in the kitchen.
00:13:03.32\00:13:05.64
