Mona Vie & Diabetes

MonaVie and Diabetes, by Hugo Rodier, MD
“We face a deadly epidemic of diabetes and obesity in our country today. In fact, one-third of our children will be diabetic as adults. While it is true that some may have genetic disposition to insulin resistance, the vast majority of people suffer from these conditions due to poor diets, stress, and lack of activity.

By healing our intestines, improving micronutrient absorption, and healing the detoxification pathways of the liver and intestines, we end up healing our cell membranes. Açai can assist you in doing so, thereby reducing your risk and the problems associated with diabetes. Some worry that the elevation of blood sugar while consuming fruits is a sign that fruits are not healthy for diabetics. This is not correct. Abstaining from fruits like açai leads to a lack of anti-oxidants that are essential to build and fuel cell membranes.”

MonaVie is low calorie, at only 30 calories per ounce. Additionally, MonaVie has a low Glycemic Index, and is safe for Diabetics. This means that the sugar in MonaVie (of which there isn’t much) produces only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels.
