Diabetes is a disease characterized by abnormally high blood sugar. It happens when body produces less insulin which converts blood sugar into energy. Due to the reduced ability to convert blood sugar into energy, level of blood sugar increases and this condition is known as Diabetes and it is very common in India.
If Diabetes is not properly controlled, it can lead to complications like heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage.
Treatment
often includes medications and insulin injections, but many people are
also interested in natural home remedies for diabetes that can help
lower blood sugar.
1. CINNAMON (DALCHINI)Cinnamon
is a popular spice with many health benefits. Cinnamon can help lower
blood sugar and fight diabetes. It is also known to be a superfood that
is very high in calcium (yet is not a dairy product), high in fiber,
iron, and manganese. It is inexpensive, has no side effects, and has a
host of health benefits. As little as a half teaspoon of cinnamon powder
daily can have positive effects on blood sugar levels, digestion,
immunity and more. However, stronger doses are also extremely beneficial
for improving heart disease risk and cutting your risk of diabetes,
cancer and other diseases. You can use Cinnamon in your daily or can use
it in powder form with warm water.
2. JAMUN
Jamun
is an important summer fruit, associated with many health and medicinal
benefits. Diabetic patients can consume Jamun fruit daily to control
their sugar levels, which certainly helps to enhance the insulin
activity and sensitivity. In addition, seeds powder can be taken as an
adjuvant both for type II diabetes, insulin dependent or non-insulin
dependent. You can eat Jamun as a fruit or juice or can us jamun seeds
power in your smoothies.
3. VITAMIN C
Vitamin
C reduces the risk of diabetes. It also helps diabetics in reducing
stress and anxiety and stopping the damage to blood vessels by diabetes.
lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, leafy greens etc are a good source
of vitamin C. Adding fresh lemon juice to hot tea may help. Vitamin C
has other health benefits as well. It’s involved in many bodies and
immune system functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption
of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of
cartilage, bones, and teeth. As diabetic patients have decreased levels
of antioxidants, their body cells may die at a faster rate and they need
powerful antioxidants like Vitamin C. You can get your daily intake of
Vitamin C from fruits/vegetables or you can take some high-quality
Vitamin C supplement.
Remove These Foods to Reverse Diabetes Naturally
Certain
foods negatively affect your blood sugar levels, cause inflammation and
trigger immune responses. To reverse diabetes naturally, the first step
is to remove these foods from your diet:
- Refined sugar: Refined sugar rapidly spikes blood glucose, and soda, fruit juice and other sugary beverages are the worst culprits. These forms of sugar enter the bloodstream rapidly and can cause extreme elevations in blood glucose. (7) Even though natural sweeteners like raw honey and maple syrup are better options, they can still affect blood sugar levels, so only use these foods on occasion. Your best option is to switch to stevia, a natural sweetener that won’t have as much of an impact.
- Grains: Grains, especially gluten-containing grains like wheat, contain large amounts of carbohydrates that are broken down into sugar within only a few minutes of consumption. Gluten can cause intestinal inflammation, which affects hormones like cortisol and leptin, and can lead to spikes in blood sugar. I recommend removing all grains from your diet for 90 days as your body adjusts to this healing program. Then you can try bringing sprouted ancient grains back into your diet in small amounts.
- Conventional cow’s milk: Conventional cow’s milk and dairy products should be eliminated, especially for people with type 1 diabetes. Dairy can be a fantastic food for balancing blood sugar if it comes from goat’s, sheep or A2 cows. But stay away from all other forms of dairy because the A1 casein produced by conventional cows will harm the body and trigger an immune response similar to gluten. When buying dairy, only purchase raw and organic products from pasture-raised animals.
- Alcohol: Alcohol can dangerously increase blood sugar and lead to liver toxicity. Research published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that there was a 43 percent increased incidence of diabetes associated with heavy consumption of alcohol, which is defined as three or more drinks per day. (8) Beer and sweet liquors are especially high in carbohydrates and should be avoided.
- GMO foods: GMO corn, soy and canola have been linked to kidney and liver disease and may promote diabetes. I suggest removing all GMO foods and all packaged foods from your diet. Opt for products that are labeled organic or GMO-free.
- Hydrogenated oils: Remove hydrogenated, rancid oils from your diet, including vegetable oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil and canola oil. Because these oils are processed, treated at very high temperatures, and combined with bleaching agents and artificial dyes, consuming them has been linked to many health concerns, including diabetes.
