HOW TO FIGHT DIABETES NATURALLY

When you eat, your body turns food into sugars, or glucose. At that point, your pancreas is supposed to release insulin.  Insulin serves as a “key” to open your cells, to allow the glucose to enter -- and allow you to use the glucose for energy.  But with diabetes, this system does not work. 

                             

Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are the most common forms of the disease, but there are also other kinds, such as gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, as well as other forms. 

TYPE 1 
diabetes  type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes. It’s sometimes called “juvenile” diabetes, because type 1 diabetes usually develops in children and teenagers, though it can develop at any age.

TYPE 2

The most common form of diabetes is called type 2, or non-insulin dependent diabetes.

This is also called “adult onset” diabetes, since it typically develops after age 35. However, a growing number of younger people are now developing type 2 diabetes.  

People with type 2 are able to produce some of their own insulin. Often, it’s not enough. And sometimes, the insulin will try to serve as the “key” to open the body’s cells, to allow the glucose to enter. But the key won’t work. The cells won’t open. This is called insulin resistance.  

Often, type 2 is tied to people who are overweight, with a sedentary lifestyle.    

WHAT CAUSE DIABETES ?

                                              

• Hereditary or Inherited Traits : It is strongly believed that due to some genes which passes from one generation to another, a person can inherit diabetes. It depends upon closeness of blood relationship as mother is diabetic, the risk is 2 to 3%, father is diabetic, the risk is more than the previous case and if both the parents are diabetic, the child has much greater risk for diabetes.                    
• Age : Increased age is a factor which gives more possibility than in younger age. This disease may occur at any age, but 80% of cases occur after 50 year, incidences increase with the age factor.           
• Poor Diet (Malnutrition Related Diabetes) : Improper nutrition, low protein and fiber intake, high intake of refined products are the expected reasons for developing diabetes.                         
• Obesity and Fat Distribution : Being overweight means increased insulin resistance, that is if body fat is more than 30%, BMI 25+, waist girth 35 inches in women or 40 inches in males.                   
• Sedentary Lifestyle : People with sedentary lifestyle are more prone to diabetes, when compared to those who exercise thrice a week, are at low risk of falling prey to diabetes.                         
• Stress : Either physical injury or emotional disturbance is frequently blamed as the initial cause of the disease. Any disturbance in Corticosteroid or ACTH therapy may lead to clinical signs of the disease.                                           
• Drug Induced: Clozapine (Clozaril), olanzapine (Zyprexa), risperidone (Risperdal), quetiapine (Seroquel) and ziprasidone (Geodon) are known to induce this lethal disease.                                  
• Infection : Some of the staphylococci is suppose to be responsible factor for infection in pancreas.                              
• Sex : Diabetes is commonly seen in elderly especially males but, strongly in women and those females with multiple pregnancy or suffering from (PCOS) Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.                                  
• Hypertension : It had been reported in many studies that there is direct relation between high systolic pressure and diabetes.                                          
• Serum lipids and lipoproteins : High triglyceride and cholesterol level in the blood is related to high blood sugars, in some cases it has been studied that risk is involved even with low HDL levels in circulating blood.

CURE DIABETES NATURALLY

Nutrition for Diabetes

Getting a full spectrum of natural nutrition is especially important for diabetics. The current medical understanding of type 1 diabetes, which is limited at best, says that type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of insulin-producing cells within the pancreas.

                    

Your body has the blueprint for repairing and restoring these cells, and it will automatically do so if it is in the position to do so. Obviously, a degenerative diet and lifestyle does not allow this to happen. To repair and restore the pancreas, top notch nutrition is essential. In particular, superfoods will provide excellent nutrition for the pancreas and the rest of the body.

Exercise

Especially for type 2 diabetics, a regular exercise program is extremely important. Exercise helps improve the body's utilization of glucose / blood sugar. It also helps to improve the body's insulin sensitivity. Given the fact that type 2 diabetes is essentially advanced insulin resistance, you can see why exercise is important.

                     

Exercise, of course, is not just a critical part of any natural diabetes treatment, but it also comes with a whole list of other wonderful health benefits.

Make sure that 90-95% of your carbohydrates are complex carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrates are made up of individual sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complicated and often branched chains.

• Complex carbohydrates are found in whole, unprocessed foods. Examples of complex carbohydrates include whole grain bread, brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, oats, starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin and squash, beans, peas, lentils, nuts and seeds.
• Avoid simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates include added sugars like glucose, sucrose (table sugar), and fructose (most often added as high fructose corn syrup or HFCS). Consuming HFCS has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity

Increase the amount of water you drink

Water helps flush out naturally produced toxins and helps maintain mineral (electrolyte) balance. Aim for about eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day. Talk to your doctor to determine if you have any special fluid restrictions or needs that you should consider.

                                                                           

• Skip sugary beverages. Sugar by itself does not cause diabetes, but ingesting more sugar-filled beverages is linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
• Try drinking water, unsweetened sparkling water, or unsweetened iced tea instead of sugary soda.

Add flaxseeds to get more fiber in your diet 

Getting enough fiber is essential to preventing and treating diabetes. Flaxseeds are great sources of fiber and they are an excellent source of the essential omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.

                                                                   

• In addition to providing essential nutrients that may help to treat and prevent diabetes, flaxseed and the fiber they contain can help with bowel movements and can help you decrease blood cholesterol as well. Flaxseeds are also associated with decreased risk of colon, breast and prostate cancer, and they may also help with menopause symptoms.
• Try to include a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds at every meal or 3 tablespoons of flaxseed a day.
• Use a coffee grinder to grind your own flax seeds or keep pre-frozen ground seeds in your freezer.

Eat more fish and skinless poultry

Getting enough quality protein is an important component of diabetes prevention. Make sure that any poultry you eat is skinless to reduce the amount of unhealthy animal fats you consume and eat a couple of servings of wild-caught fish each week.

• Wild-caught fish such as salmon, cod, haddock and tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential to good health.
