How Halle Berry Weaned Herself off Insulin as a Type 1 Diabetic

Halle Berry is one of Hollywood's most well known women who has starred in many of box office topping movies. Halle Berry is an ageless woman. One would never believe that she will be turning 54 next month.

Halle was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and revealed her diagnosis to the New York Times in 2006. It was during the shooting of a television show in 1989 that she fell into a diabetic coma for several days after which she received a diagnosis of diabetes type 1. Individuals with type 1 diabetes are born with it but Halle believes that her type 1 diagnosis became a type 2 diagnosis.



Halle credits the keto diet for her good looks and for freeing her from having to take insulin.
"I’ve managed to wean myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the type 2 category," said Berry. The keto diet entails high consumption of fats and minimal to no consumption of carbs which leads to the body burning fat instead of carbs for fuel. Sugar can place the aging process on a fast track. Halle also stated that she limits her sugar intake.
Halle engages in body weight exercises along with other workouts such as yoga and pilates four to five times a week. She prefers to utilize different workout regimens instead of sticking with just one.

"I switch it up because your body gets used to the same exercises and you have to kind of--you know--trick it every six or three months," said Halle in a statement to ET.

5 Natural Ingredients For Longevity

Fenty Sidestick Is it All that?

Image
The Fenty Side Stick is a 3 in 1 edge styling tool.  It was mentioned in a comprehensive review  of Rihanna's hair line, however, I hadn't yet purchased it.  I wanted to briefly compare The Side Stick to the type of edge brushes that are found in your average beauty store.  The Side Stick arrived in a light orange box with the signature Fenty packaging and logo. On the back of the box, is a photo of the Side Stick.  The photo on the back of the packaging is almost the same length as the Side Stick so the user can get a sense of the actual length of the product.  When it is taken out of the package, the end piece needed to be snapped on. It's a nice rose chrome colored tail which makes for precise parting and creation of swooped styles.  If any of you ladies love your 90s Aaliyah style swooped bangs, the Side Stick is going to get you right every time! It has a duo brush and comb head instead of being at opposite ends like an average edge brush and com...
