Every food is a medicine. What you eat is very important from the
point of view of your health. There are no cut and dry methods and medicines by
which you can cure diabetes. In fact, perfect cure for diabetes is yet to be
found, in any system of medicine. But, Ayurvedic medicines are far near to the
point of curing diabetes. This disease can certainly be controlled by
Ayurveduic medicines.
Some herbs and vegetables are specifically prescribed for diabetes, like Bitter Gourd and bitter melon juice.
The prime concern in controlling diabetes is to see that the sugar
level does not cross the recommended level. This means you need to avoid
certain types of food and take regularly those food which are good for
controlling diabetes.
In short, processed foods and junk food, must be totally given up.
Avoid sweets, glucose, fruit sugar, cakes, ice cream, chocolates, soft drinks,
cream and fried foods. White sugar and white flour also cause further damage to
the health of diabetes patients. Anything that contains harmful preservatives
and too much salt should be avoided. Smoking and alcohol are taboo as well. So,
in conclusion, your food is your medicine.
Instead of the commercial tea, take green tea, parsley tea and
blueberry leaf. Cook the kidney bean pods and drink that water—it is very good
in the treatment of diabetes. Replace white sugar with palm sugar, dates and
honey. Unpolished rice, sprouted grain should be taken in moderate quantity.
Fats like olive. oil and peanut oil are good in diabetes. Drink abundant
water, at least 8 to 10 glasses per day. If you can make the habit of it, raw
vegetables need to be taken in large quantity. Cooked food raise the level of
blood sugar fast. This apart, cooking destroys vitamins, enzymes and minerals
in the vegetables and fruits.
The real treatment of diabetes is through the fruits that you
take. Take grapes, Indian blackberry, fig, kiwi fruits and citrus fruits and
pomegranate juice. Let these things be your morning breakfast. As for
vegetables, onion, garlic, radish, cucumber, carrot, tomato, cabbage and
cucumber are excellent in the treatment of diabetes. Moong sprouted and
unripe banana cooked, are also recommended.
The next important part of the diet is to take those fruits and
vegetables in which fiber content is very high. Such type of food lowers the
need for insulin, the reason being it releases energy into the body cells
slowly. High fiber diet means more chromium which is very helpful in the
treatment of diabetes.
Some herbs and vegetables are specifically prescribed for diabetes, like Bitter Gourd and bitter melon juice.
Soak 50 gms of fenugreek seeds in a glass of water at night and
drink the water early in the morning, after grinding the seeds in it. Draw a
schedule, depending upon the level of your diabetes.
