Striking a Balance. Within the normal gait cycle, both pronation and supination are essential for proper momentum and balance. Upon heel strike, the foot is slightly supinated. As the foot moves through the heel strike, pronation at the ankle and flexion of the knee absorb the majority of the impact.
Diabetes. Shirataki noodles help prevent type 2 diabetes in a similar way to weight loss. They replaces the high carbohydrate part of meals, which in turn, will reduce blood sugar spikes and the high insulin response from meals. This reduces the insulin stress on the body and so reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Shirataki noodles are great in Asian noodle dishes, but people have used them in lots of other ways. Shirataki noodles come wet - packed in liquid. They are ready to eat out of the package. I usually just rinse them under hot water, cut them up a few times with kitchen shears, and add them to the dish I'm cooking. Supplements: As referred to above, the glucomannan powder can be taken in capsules as a supplement.
