6:17 am
5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day that's the golden rule of nutrition in many countries so when it comes to good health does that mean that more fruit is always better. not necessarily he says physician and nutritional researcher. many people misinterpret the 5 a day rule. most patients tend to eat fruit 5 times a day and ignore veggies and usually types of fruit that are very high in sugar and . one apple is the equivalent of about 3 cubes of sugar a large pear has 4 bananas 7. and 100 grams of grapes about a handful has about 6 cubes worth. listening to you have to have
6:18 am
a feel for how much fruit will tip you over the recommended sugar limit with grapes it's not all that many 10 or 12 grapes but as long as you're aware of this and don't overdo it you can dig in and enjoy them and. people with diabetes need to be aware of how much sugar is in the fruit the daniel sikorsky was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. it made me worry about diabetic food problems heart attack stroke so i realised i have to take action. daniel sikorsky decided against taking medication and then rolled in a diabetes study under. he's searching for a diet that might help cure try to diabetes. one promising approach is a low sugar and low carb diet donna sikorsky used to drink lots of fruit juice and sugary beverages now they're off the table. his new diet has made

a big difference. do you remember how much you weighed at the start 4 years ago. let's say about 118 kilos. so you've lost about 40 super good job our. fruit is jam packed with vitamins and other valuable substances but it sugar that makes fruit so sweet and tempting that sugar is made up of fruit and glucose the same as the refined sugar that you have a new kitchen. ringback can promote the development of diabetes ringback glucose passes into the bloodstream quickly. 'd in response the pancreas produces the hormone insulin that helps regulate the glucose levels in our bodies by moving it from our blood to ourselves. insulin is the key
6:20 am
that unlocks the door and lets glucose into our cells where it's used as fuel or energy. some studies suggest that when we constantly consume too much sugar our cells ability to respond to insulin is eventually impaired and sugar lingers in the bloodstream and that can damage our cardiovascular system and other organs. many fruits contain roughly equal amounts of glucose and fructose but even fruit that contains a larger share of fruit isn't better for diabetics. unlike fruit doesn't directly ramp up insulin production but too much fruit those can also promote the development of type 2 diabetes. can only be broken down by the liver. too much of it live. converts it to fashion and
6:21 am
stores it and that can lead to fatty liver disease. this isn't. this is a disease that's now playing an increasing role in diabetes research we've come to understand that fatty liver is a problem for the liver itself and it can lead to serious diseases. and we also know that fatty liver has a direct link to diabetes. patients who manage to get rid of their fatty liver disease stand a better chance of getting rid of their diabetes. in a low sugar diet not all fruit has to be banished from the table berries are very flavorful but contain less sugar 100 grams of blueberries have the equivalent of one cube of sugar down your sikorsky has some most every morning with this breakfast muesli from the looks on the congratulations for sticking to this for so long you're doing really well despite fear. well i'm doing it for myself to turn 56
6:22 am
soon and i was hoping to stick around for a few more days yet. the biggest trigger bombs are tropical fruits and dried fruit 100 grams of dry dates can contain more than 60 grams of sugar. so if. there's something a diabetic should definitely avoid even for a healthy person they should be an exception and should be part of your daily diet so replacing sugar with dates in cooking and baking isn't a good idea that's not and. it makes no difference if you use 50 grams of packet sugar or 50 grams of sugar in the form of dates that bit of fiber in the minerals and dates to make them slightly healthier but india and it's sugar content up moderate and if you're not really doing yourself any favors. to find them under. the 5 a day rule is still a good one but nowadays nutritional experts say it's best to go easy on the fruit and load up on the. health consultants

often water us against eating too much salt and adults and not consume more than 6 grams a day too much sodium chloride puts a strain on your kidneys and can elevate your blood pressure but you can't do without it completely because salt is vital ready. it's needed by every cell in the human body 'd 'd it's in our food. and it's in the water that we drink salt it's made up of sodium and chloride ions they're transported through our body by way of the bloodstream. chloride is crucial for the stomach cells in the stomach lining release it into gastric glands their chloride ions combine with hydrogen ions to form hydrochloric acid which is important for justin. we also need salt to move.
6:24 am
our muscles are controlled by nerves and they need so the. sodium ions can't pass into the nerve cells or neurons that easily. the positively charged ions accumulate outside the neuron that helps create an electrical potential across the nerve cell membrane. when the stimulus arrives at the neuron small channels open allowing sodium ions to surge and. this causes the short term change in electrical potential. which opens the small channels further downstream in the next segment of the cell and this chain reaction sends the electrical signal down the long axon of the nerve cell until finally the nerve signal reaches a muscle and stimulates movement without salt none of this would be possible.

planned one reason potsdam was such a favorite of prussian royalty was its location in the midst of a lush landscape surrounded by rivers and lakes. the beautiful palaces gardens and castles they built earned potsdam the nickname bursts of the north the belvedere for instance wasn't a presidential palace it was built for the sole purpose of providing an outlook. from up here you can get a great view over the landscape the royals of your left so much. during the cold war this entire landscape was fragmented by militarized zones and fortified borders separating east and west and $990.00 though the palaces and parts

of pots that were being united with those in berlin on the other side of the river hostile and in that same year unesco declared the ensemble to be the 1st all german world heritage site. there are 16 palaces in. the best known and most popular is some of. it was also the favorite of its building prussian king frederick the great. the rococo palace has only 12 rooms frederick called it he's vineyards with a hint of russian understatement. frederick spent his winters in potsdam city palace and his summers here when he could be without a care. in french. grandeur was the new palace frederick. added built slowly for show to receive state guests nearly all
6:39 am
the monarchs of europe pass through here. it seems as if every prussian keen fulfilled his dream of having a palace built here. frederick william the 4th added a touch of eataly to the park with his oratory palace. it was designed to house the tropical plants in the gardens collection oranges and palm trees it's the largest palace in civil suits. none of these palaces get lost among the trees avenues and sightlines direct to the masterpieces of architecture the chinese house for instance and a distance of one peacock island in the river half full a small sum a palace. what looks like a fairy tale castle is merely a wooden imitation
6:40 am
a royal love nest built by frederick william the 2nd for his mistress. and. over on the berlin side of the river is an italian style villa with a view of the water greenacre palace. prince carlos prussia and his wife lived here the relatively modest in size the best talent of the day were commissioned to design the palace and the surrounding park architects cull friedrich and gardener and landscape architect peter you'll see for many it was the artistic collaboration of these 2 men that gave the palaces parks and gardens of potsdam and that distinctive character.
6:41 am
a romantic palace prime location but unfortunately not 1st sale the marble palace is also part of the unesco world heritage all sample. the east german government repurposed the damage palace as an army museum this courtyard was used as exhibition ground for missiles and other military apparatus the border wall was not far from here suskind who has been following the developments of potsdam palaces since the $970.00 s. she's an art historian and helped pave the way towards acquiring the pristine just world heritage status and we see that we're seeing plenty of people taking walks riding their bikes was this area as accessible in the days of east germany to. yeah you know as of us well yes for the most part it was accessible all 3 garden areas and most of the palaces as well. as this was a tourist highlight of instrument a major cultural institution along side the museums in berlin and kristen's. it

comes away in other words it made for a pretty backdrop but how did east germany handle the pressure on legacy in general albert i thought to himself or to our off into the could it changed over time in east germany. after world war 2 the general tendency was outwith the old to create some distance to the past and that was probably true elsewhere too well not just in need but here in history was regarded as a pretty decisive to the german empire even non-system and that transfused is unacceptable. for this kaiser titus kinds of ice his order is forgetting does not tsunamis and so this was in. order changed over time starting in the 1960 s. or 1970 s. that the latest restoration on the state palaces and gardens began and the funds needed to do that began to flow up to a long enough you haven't done. that
6:43 am
a lot has changed around here in the past 30 years which was the 1st task taken up after unification. it's a funny thing if you buy as an art historian when i was the custody and if the sculpture collection. the 1st thing my restoration colleagues did after the monetary union in some 1998 was to travel to corolla and purchase marble so i did that at long last they could use it for restoration work and perhaps some companies . and then the gardeners and garden historians quickly set to work repairing the damage the berlin wall had inflicted on spec park and the new garden . popped off its back and of annoying god a toy time to decide to be guardians had to be restored to their former glory that was a top priority getting the afa news early and landscape distance back to the way they'd

been in the 18th and 19th centuries which is what eventually led to the ensemble being added to unesco's world cultural heritage list. just. got world heritage that is in 1990 that happened quite fast had the wave been paved before the fall of the wall. or go on to whatever a lot of us was going to resting in late 1989 both west berlin and potsdam in other words east germany initiated the process of getting the respective sides of the ensemble to the world cultural heritage list by the time it actually came to pass reunification had already happened and it became one complete cultural landscape as far as i am because i'm too quick to and i'm sure. the history culture and scenery and potsdam attract tourists from around the globe typically the city welcomes over a 1000000 visitors a year but potsdam isn't just popular with travelers it's also one of the few
6:45 am
eastern german cities that's growing in size in 199140000 people lived here today it's close to 100. 80000. a number of celebrities have bought property here since reunification the reasons are obvious where else can you live smack in the middle of a city and at the same time be surrounded by water and nature as far as the eye can see. from potsdam will now hop on over to the aegean sea more precisely to the island of santorini normally the greek island is a popular tourist destination but the corona virus has left things rather quiet cost us about as lives on centering and wants to show us his home region and another edition of our segment meet a local.
