Cashew nuts are a healthy snack choice due to their nutritional benefits. – By Dr. Harold Gunatillake Image Source : alamy Promoting cashew nuts Sri Lanka has an advantage in promoting the health benefits of cashews, as we have a government corporation and a suitable site in Pasyala (Cadju pura). A massive billboard by the roadside at this site, before entering Pasyala, will remind motorists to stop and purchase some nuts to enjoy on the way to the hills. A giant billboard displaying “Good for your Heart” would be most appropriate. Furthermore, good toilet facilities provided by the local Mirigama Council will encourage drivers to take a break at this spot, mainly for the comfort of the tourists, which invariably promotes adjusted sales. Sri Lankan cashews are highly sought after for their milky flavour, and the market for Rancrisp cashews continues to grow. The cashew, Anacardium occidentale L., belongs to the ...

Microplastics have been discovered in the plaques that accumulate in the coronary arteries. Dr Harold Gunatillake, OAM, FRCS, FIASC, FICS, AM(Sing), and MBBS(Cey), a Health writer, compiled this. Overview: This document concerns microplastics’ presence, potential health risks in the human body and the environment, and strategies to reduce plastic pollution. People with microplastics and nano plastics in plaque lining a major blood vessel in their neck may have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke or death, new research suggests. (Nanoplastics pose a more significant threat than microplastics as they can penetrate biological membranes). Living in developed countries today comes with health hazards caused by consuming unhealthy diets. Regular consumption of hot foods, street foods, and highly salted processed fatty fried foods can lead to clogging of arteries, which increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease and stroke. In the past, our parents used to cook our meals in clay pots. ...

This bulletin focuses on managing type 2 diabetes and was created for Sri Lankans worldwide. – By Dr Harold Gunatillake It is written by Dr Harold Gunatillake-OAM, who holds FRCS, FICS, FIACS, AM(Sing), and MBBS(Cey) qualifications. https://designrr.page/?id=275574&token=3743295896&h=5628 https://designrr.page/?id=25727&token=1660128502&h=2296 Concept of proper management with lifestyle modifications Individuals with Type 2 diabetes who take anti-diabetic medication may experience decreased insulin sensitivity. This can make beta cells more resistant and is an essential factor to consider when managing the condition. While many people find it sufficient to take their medication as prescribed, maintain a low glycemic index diet, and monitor their HbA1c levels every 3-6 months to keep their levels below 7.2, this approach doesn’t encourage the pancreas to produce insulin that can resist stress. Instead, the medication prescribed controls their blood sugar levels and makes insulin-producing Islet cells in the pancreas less active. This situation is worse for those who take insulin ...

walking reverses type 2 diabetes. With the compliments of Dr.Harold Gunatillake Thank you for sharing your information. I walk daily for about 4 hours, which amounts to 32,000 steps and 20 kilometres. On average, I take 35,000 steps each day. This habit has helped me reverse my type 2 diabetes, and I no longer require insulin. If you have type 2 diabetes, taking antidiabetic medication and adopting a low glycemic index (GI) diet can be helpful. You should aim to convert your insulin resistance into insulin sensitivity, and your pancreas is always prepared for that change. Walking for over 4 hours daily, like I do, can be the ultimate solution for all type 2 diabetics. At 95 years old, I still have a clear brain. If you visit my website, you will see what walking has done for me.www.Doctorharold.com http://www.Doctorharold.com view online <http://view.e.heartfoundation.org.au> http://click.e.heartfoundation.org.au/ ...
