🔥 Olive Oil vs. Rapeseed Oil (Canola) – Which is Better?

✅ Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)
🔹 High in Oleic Acid – Helps reduce inflammation & heart disease risk
🔹 Rich in Polyphenols – May lower blood sugar & improve gut health
🔹 Contains Oleocanthal – Works like ibuprofen to fight inflammation 

✅ Rapeseed (Canola) Oil
🔹 50% less fat than Olive Oil
🔹 More Omega-3, Vitamin E & K – Great for heart health & lowering blood pressure
🔹 Cheaper & widely available

🤔 Which One Should You Use?
💡 Both have benefits! I use Rapeseed in Spring/Summer & Olive Oil in Autumn/Winter to get the best of both.

 📉 My Results: Using rapeseed oil dropped my cholesterol from 5.4 to 4.2!

💨 Quitting smoking is the #1 thing you need to do for your health. Easy to say, hard to do, but it is possible!

⚠️ The harsh reality:

✅ 1 in 2 smokers die from smoking. That’s 50%. 💀
✅ Flip a coin—heads you live, tails you die. Which will it be? 
✅ Nicotine replacements (gum, vaping) may help, but they still keep you addicted.

🎯 How I Finally Quit After 20 Years: One night after work, I realized my life was controlled by nicotine. Instead of buying more nicotine gum, I threw it away and made quitting my #1 priority. That was 2018, and I’ve never looked back. 🧠 The Secret to Quitting:

1️⃣ Admit you’re addicted.
2️⃣ Change your mind—make quitting non-negotiable.
3️⃣ Once you flick the switch off, your body will follow.
4️⃣ The longer you stay free, the easier it gets!

💪 You have the power to change. Start today. 🚀

💼 Do you work long hours and drink to unwind? Many people live by the "Work Hard, Play Hard" motto, but did you know heavy drinking can be a sign of burnout? 🚨

📢 Here’s the problem:

✅ We shouldn’t be working more than 38 hours a week—long-term overwork isn’t sustainable. ⏳
✅ Overwork leads to stress, exhaustion, and bad habits.
✅ People often rely on alcohol & junk food to cope. 🍔🍺
✅ The result? Sugar & fat overload = Higher risk of Type 2 diabetes.

🔄 The Vicious Cycle:

1️⃣ Work long hours 🕰️
2️⃣ Drink heavily to relieve stress 🍻
3️⃣ Eat junk food for convenience 🍟
4️⃣ Poor diet & alcohol stress the body 😣
5️⃣ Burnout makes work harder 😓
6️⃣ More stress → More drinking → More junk food → Increased diabetes risk 🚑

⚠️ Does this sound familiar? You’re not alone—and you have the power to change! 💪 📋 Take the first step:
✔️ Recognize the problem.
✔️ Check out the Type 2 diabetes symptoms list at Type2survivor.com.
✔️ Share it with friends & colleagues who work hard and play hard—it could save a life!

💀 Don’t be the richest person in the graveyard.

2️⃣ Feeling more angry or losing your temper easily 😡

😟 You or someone you know has Type 2 diabetes. But did you know it’s often linked to food addiction? Society is hooked on sugar-laden foods—and breaking free takes sacrifice. 💪 What needs to change?

✅ Quit smoking 🚭
✅ Cut out alcohol & fizzy drinks 🍷🥤
✅ Avoid fast & processed foods 🍔🚫
✅ Exercise regularly 🏃‍♂️ 📢 

This isn’t temporary—it’s for life! Diets don’t work long-term! 🚫⚖️

You need lifestyle change, not a quick fix. If you go back to old habits, Type 2 diabetes will return. ⚠️ Did you know? Yo-yo dieting & weight fluctuations put strain on your heart, kidneys, lungs, joints & more. Carrying extra weight makes your body work harder.

🚗 Think of it like this: A small engine in a small car? Works fine. Put that same engine into a bigger car, and it struggles! Your body is the same! 🛠 How to make lasting changes:

✔️ Don’t quit everything at once—gradual changes work best!
✔️ Make a list of things to quit & tackle them one by one ✍️
✔️ Too much sacrifice too fast = risk of sabotage!

Don’t burn out! 🔥 🌅 From the depths of darkness to glorious light. You have the power to change.

🦉 The Truth About Fruit & Sugar! 🦉

 Advice to eat fruit & veggies has been around forever—but did you know fruit contains sugar, and sugar is the enemy? 😱

🥤 Many believe fruit juice is healthy, but just ONE portion of orange juice = 14% of your daily sugar limit! A full carton? That’s 70%—before eating anything else! 😵

🍇 Some fruits pack a sugary punch too! High-sugar fruits include: 👉 Grapes (16%) 👉 Lychees (15%) 👉 Mangoes (14%) 👉 Pomegranates (14%) 👉 Cherries (13%) 👉 Bananas (12%)

❗ Sugar in fruit is natural but still spikes blood sugar levels. If you’re serious about managing Type 2 diabetes, watch your intake!
