Diabetes Health: Your Respiratory System
Posted on June 5, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
The essence of nature resides within us. The lungs within our respiratory system work like trees by bringing in vital gas (oxygen) to help our bodies grow and thrive. Unfortunately, people with Diabetes (PDD) are at an increased risk of experiencing disruption of their respiratory system, which can cause a host of other problems to develop because, as you know, when one system suffers, so can the others. But there is something you can do to preserve your respiratory system. The first step is learning what this system does. Then, when there is understanding, we can do what we need to do to maintain our health.
People with Diabetes (PWD) are at an increased risk of developing respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), infections (COVID, flu, and pneumonia), and others. Here is some information to help you maintain an optimal functioning respiratory system.
Your Respiratory System
Your respiratory system consists of organs, tissues, and muscles, such as your mouth and nose, sinuses, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm.
Your respiratory system works alongside the heart to supply your cells with oxygen and rid wastes such as carbon dioxide. The lungs work similarly to trees in the exchange of gases. Trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air. So likewise, our lungs take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, waste from the body and release it into the air.

Diabetes Health: Your Gastrointestinal System
Posted on June 4, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
According to research, People with Diabetes (PWD) are at an increased risk of developing digestive issues. But there are things you can do to maintain optimal digestive health.
Your Gastrointestinal (GI) system plays a major role in extracting the nutrients that help sustain optimal body health. So let’s take a look at this fantastic system.
About the Gastrointestinal System
Your GI system consists of your mouth, esophagus (long tube to your stomach), small and large intestines, rectum, and anus.
Hormones, muscles, and nerves are pivotal in helping your gastrointestinal system break down food, absorb nutrients, and move waste out of your body. Your GI system deconstructs the food you take in and extracts the nutrients your body needs.

The Seeds We Plant Series # 11: Thankfulness
Posted on May 18, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
I hope all is well with you and yours! This past week was a good reminder that virtues should be part of our daily lives. We must consistently reinforce the harvest we want. And life always gives us opportunities to put what we teach into practice.
In this episode, Cameron Chambers, my son, joins me to share his thoughts on thankfulness. Our children learn so much in the world. Many of which take them further from the truth. We must conversate with our children about principles and virtues that remind them they always have a choice. Gratitude brings contentment and can shine the light in dark places of our lives. Gratitude has been the two-way street of preserving my inner fruit and keeping unwanted visitors at bay. In addition, thankfulness plays a major role in being present with our children so we can break the cycle of pain by creating a generational love cycle.
