Essential Vitamins for Blood Sugar Control in People with Diabetes

Diabetes affects people who have little or no physical activity for a long time. Thus, it affects people who lead sedentary life style or who in vocation that involves little physical activity. In people affected with diabetes the blood glucose or sugar levels are too high.

The glucose in the blood comes from the food they eat. By taking insulin the glucose gets into cells and gives energy. Too much of glucose in blood can cause serious problems such as heart disease, stroke, damage to major body parts like kidney, liver and nerves.

Vitamin C is one of the beneficial vitamins for people with diabetes. Diabetics require this vitamin in excess because of stress and urinary loss. Vitamin C can be found in various food sources such as citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, Bengal grams and green grams.

Insulin is a hormone is required by diabetics and can be obtained by intake of vitamin E. The food sources rich in vitamin E include sunflower oil, soybean oil, sprouted seeds and grains, green leafy vegetables, wholegrain products, wheat and milk.

The Airless Tire Technology in car

In recent years, many,companies have tried to design airless tires that do not puncture. At last the best design created by the Michelin tweel, that is with the combination of the wheel as well as tire. This design is the one of the first best ideas to bring non-pneumatic tires to the attention of public.

This is developed by Michelin, this tires are not filled with air, therefore, this tires are called non-pneumatic. By developing this, the days have gone when the tire could leave you on the flat. This concept is not new as previously the cars have been crossed the country on the wheels of without air.

This airless tires do not use traditional wheel hub assembly, but the solid inner hub mounts to the axle that is fitted with polyurethane spokes that are arrayed in the pattern of wedges. Then the shear band is stretched around the spokes to form the outer edge of the tire. Then at last the thread is attached to the shear band.

This tweel looks like a very large future bicycle wheel and when it is put on the road, the spokes will absorb the impact from road as the air tires does. As the spoke bends, the thread and the shear will gets deformed temporarily and then spring back quickly to its shape. The ride will be more comfortable with the more pliant spokes. The tweel can be made with different spoke tensions, by allowing  them for handling different characteristics.
