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.
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.
