It’s very interesting to see how similar so called health foods have in common with highly effective carp baits.

We all eat too much sugar nowadays. It’s almost unavoidable being present in so many canned and pre-packed foods. Over-consumption of sugar can have very serious consequences especially later in life and diabetes in a far more common health condition these days. For many people this has occured as a result of an unbalanced ‘convenience or snack fast food oriented diet and this is a great shame.

Certain hormones and other substances affect our desire to eat and also how well we deal with sugar in the form of glucose in our bodies. Brain chemical production, actions and activities to promote energy release are pretty central to our ability to function healthy and in balanced and able ways.

Ancient ‘teleost fish’ like cyprinus carpio share many characteristics in terms of hormone production, storage and essential functions to release energy, with us humans. Although there are different forms of the human condition known as diabetes this is often developed as a difficulty to process sugars and release energy in correct levels and at even rates for health.

So it does not hurt to follow a ‘diabetes-type diet,’ or at least to know principles behind it to use as a guide for control and also possible prevention.

Follow a diabetes diet for good health and slower release of blood sugars and to rid yourself of yeast overgrowth and infections.

Good ingredients reflect many great carp bait ingredients and attractors and feeding ‘stimulants.’:

Fresh Ginger

Fresh chilli peppers

Garlic

Onions

Black pepper

Seeds

Fresh herbs, including peppermint

Bilberries

Acacia berries

Nuts

Olive oil

Oyster sauce

Black Bean sauce

Groundnut oil

Red wine

Aspirins

If you look further into the above, you will find that nearly all these ingredients cleanse the blood and the arteries and stimulate the metabolism in different ways.

Fresh ginger also opens up capillaries in the eye, so improving blood flow to eye.

The Oyster sauce forms a good aphrodisiac - it really does work due to increased more efficient blood flow to key areas including the.. heart!

The chillies and pepper also stimulate digestion the well known ‘capsaicin’ is responsible. The fresh chilli’s being good for you in general was backed up by a large study, reported in the press in early 2007, with claims it has cancer-curing properties.

This stuff is so powerful it has been hailed as the new ‘super food’ to control growth of cancerous tumours and a spoonful of chilli powder has been known to stop a heart attack immediately! This is genuine and based on real life research and emergency cases!

However, these ingredients happily mix well in stir-frys or make yummy salads!

Choose your stir-fry oil carefully, as you may be using it quite a lot if you start to follow this diet. Ideally use the finer types of oils high in omega oils. In fact some individual nut and mixed nut oils have effects on the body similar to chillis owing to special powerful substances in them – evidence of the power of these substances is the almost ‘addictive’ effect of peanuts on carp.

After getting adjusted to using ‘carp bait ingredients’ in my diet and various dishes at increased levels I found the mixture of tastes and flavours irresistible, which has kept me coming back for more!

Spices such as cinnamon are also meant to help with diabetes, so keep up your intake of fresh herbs and spices. They not only add flavour, but also have a myriad beneficial health effects. In fact nutmeg is rated as probably the most highly halucinagenatory ‘drug’ spice. Taking very large doses of this spice is not recommended!

However another spice – cinnamon is extremely beneficial. In published scientific papers on diabetic suffer trials it was found that out of the many ‘enzyme active substances’ tested (including yeast extract I should add!), cinnamon came out the most effective. The conclusion reached was that taking cinnamon in large dose every day actually reduced the extremes of blood glucose levels shown in diabetes suffers and it was so powerful that it’s effects carried on for some days even when it was not being consumed!

(It should be noted that in India, the consumption of the various spices and herbs are linked to a comparatively low rate of cancers in the population!)

The other important thing to know is that exercise or activity burns off sugar. So obviously this too is good for diabetes and health in general. Burning off sugar saves turning it into ‘fat’ although how hormones are produced and how glucose is converted and stored in carp does differ from humans in some ways!

I believe that conversely, putting metabolism promoting ingredients in carp baits actually stimulates immediate activity in fish. They do not even need to eat the ingredients as they can simply filter feed these powerful substances as they are release into the water. I will refer to the effects of ‘Red Bull’ on athletes energy release for example as some athletes add this to their baits, although adding caffeine, or coffee poweder and squid extract can simulate the stimulatory beneficial short-term effect!

And another thing: my partner complains of ‘blobs’ floating in front of my eyes from eating too much sugar. Perhaps this is the effect of the eye’s aqueous humour being unable to dissolve wate substances which a diet with more volatile natural substances would negate?

She’s also noticed that when she eats sugar, in the winter, I get broken mico skin veins’ and sometimes nose bleeds. Maybe too much sugar in the diet is one cause of  ‘sponteneous nose bleeds’ too? I’m sure that there are harmful effects on the body’s abilty to maximise various vitamins for example (some also are important parts of the energy release process) by waste products of and yeast build –up and their toxic effects on the body. Continuous excess sugar in the blood somehow seems to makes blood vessels weaker, maybe due to the yeast overgrowth that accompanies it.

So incorporating these ingredients in your diet will help on many levels.

Note that olive oil is good for cleaning and healing up those small cracks that appear around the nose in winter time. Olive oil has antifungal properties, so this will help get the yeast to die back too – sound familiar? Garlic is a very potent anti-fungal food with effects and substances still unknown to science. (I believe Aloe vera needs investigating in terms of carp bait too!)

Olive oil is also good to drink (a spoonful or two), when you’re drinking alcohol. It lessens the toxic effects of the alcohol. (Links to omega oils and alcohols and essential oils and lecithins effects on carp!?)

Experiment with some of the ingredients to start with, in a stir-fry or salad. Add kidney beans, butter beans, broad beans. And lettuce or seasonal vegetables; whatever takes you fancy.

Watch out if you suddenly change your diet, as this will affect you by ‘clearing you out’ by releasing ‘free radicals’ etc in the blood and other bodily toxins excreted from our bodies. You may even get ‘initial flue-like symptoms and feel headachy. (Strangely this is just like you would feel if you suddenly gave up eating chocolate, coffee or tea... Slowly does it…

Have fun, eat well and go make some carp bait at the same time - be inspired!
