Meditation with Sugar Out of the Way, Or with Sugar Out of the Way Does Life Become a Mediation more Easily? Chromium Picolinate is missing in your diet but it is a cornerstone to reducing what ails us by calming down inflammation, helping balance blood sugars & blood pressure, reduce sugar cravings, & help with muscle mass. Certain crucial foods are crucial to our mental & emotional wellness, and this is another of them!
Here we have a fuzzy photo from an article in 2014 from the magazine called The Optimist on Chromium Picolinate that is transcribed below the photo:

TAKE CHROMIUM (Cr) and LIVE LONGER
WE EAT TOO MUCH SUGAR. THE AVERAGE PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES, THE WORLD LEADER IN SUGAR CONSUMPTION, CONSUMES 126 GRAMS OF SUGAR PER DAY. GERMANY IS SECOND, AT 103 GRAMS PER PERSON PER DAY, AND THE NETHERLANDS IS RIGHT BEHIND THAT, AT 102.5 GRAMS. ALL THESE COUNTRIES MORE THAN DOUBLE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO), WHICH ADVISES A MAXIMUM DAILY SUGAR CONSUMPTION OF 50 GRAMS (11 PER PERSON PER DAY).
The causes of sugar are well known: obesity and diabetes are two obvious ones. But sugar also feeds inflammation, and that’s the beginning of a long list of degenerative diseases, from dementia and Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s and arthritis. In other words, eating less sugar may very well be the most important health advisory.
Eating too much sugar leads to insulin resistance, the very substance that helps muscle fat and liver cells absorb sugar from the blood stream. Twenty years ago, Dr. Harry Preuss, a professor of medicine and pathology at Georgetown University, began researching the connection between sugar-induced high blood pressure and insulin resistance. He found that trace mineral chromium could overcome insulin resistance in animal experiments; he induced high blood pressure with a high-sugar diet and then saw that, after giving chromium, blood pressure quickly returned to normal.
Preuss has continued his research over the past 20 years, and the benefits of chromium have been firmly established in many research experiments. In addition to lowering blood pressure, chromium can, in some cases, replace diabetes drugs, since it lowers circulating glucose levels, also plays a role in fat metabolism and helps weight loss. CHROMIUM FIGHTS INFLAMMATION. And if these weren’t enough reasons to
add chromium to your daily list of supplements, Preuss has also found that rats who receive the supplement live 20 percent longer “Chromium keeps your system in check, and it does so much good that it will keep you alive and healthier,” he says.
Preuss advises that people take 200 micrograms every day as a preventative measure, and he and his wife have been doing for the past 20 years. At 81, he says, “I’m still going on, work hard and I’m healthy!”
Despite its many benefits, chromium is not a popular supplement. “It’s something about the name—people think it’s toxic,” says Preuss. That perception may have something to do with the 2000 movie Erin Brockovich, about the activist who discovered that U.S. utility giant PG&E was hiding the dangerous health effects of a particular chemical compound of chromium.
Regular chromium is an inexpensive mineral, and it is very safe, according to Preuss. There are reports about possible liver and kidney damage from taking chromium. However, according to Preuss, who has been the one longtime researcher of the supplement, this requires very high doses that one will ever realistically be able to take.
He cautions that chromium works slowly; it may take months before you notice anything. Over time, it will keep the fat off and help build up muscle. There are many types of chromium available on the supplement market, but Preuss found only three of them to work: niacin-bound chromium, chromium picolinate and chromium histidinate. Some beers—Deer’s Tears, for example—contain chromium.
Supplementation is a good idea, but, according to Preuss, “you can’t get the necessary chromium by eating enough food and drinking beer.” —JULIANNA KAMP
