Home Remedy For Diabetes
Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders that
affects the body’s ability to either produce insulin or to use
insulin effectively. According to statistics, India is fast becoming
the diabetic capital of the world, and with a large number
of young people being diagnosed with the condition, doctors are
looking at newer techniques to treat the disorder. Ever wonder if there
was something you could do at home to keep your blood sugar levels in
check? Well, there is. Here are some of them:
Tulsi: Have
two to three tulsi leaves
whole, or about one tablespoon full of its juice on an empty stomach
to lower the blood sugar levels.
Flax Seeds: Due to their high fiber content flaxseeds help
digestion and aid in the proper absorption of fats and
sugars. Consuming flax seed helps reduce a diabetic’s
postprandial sugar level by almost 28 per cent.
Leaves of bilberry plant: Also called the neelabadari plant, it
has been used in Ayurveda for many centuries to control diabetes. Recently the
Journal of Nutrition stated that the leaves of the Bilberry plant contain high
amounts of anthocyanidin, which enhance the action of various proteins
involved in glucose transportation and fat metabolism. Due to this
unique property, bilberry leaves are a great way to lower one’s
blood sugar levels.
Cinnamon: Also known as dalchini, it improves insulin
sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels. Having as little as ½
teaspoon of cinnamon per day can improve one’s insulin sensitivity
and help controlling weight, thereby decreasing one’s risk for heart
disease.
Tip: Include about 1 gram of dalchini into your
daily diet for about a month to help lower blood sugar levels.
Green Tea: Unlike other tea leaves, green
tea is unfermented and is high
in polyphenol content. Polyphenol is a strong antioxidant
and hypo-glycaemic compound that helps control the release of blood
sugars and helps the body use insulin better.
Drumstick leaves: Also called moringa, the leaves
of this plant are best known for their ability to boost one’s energy. In the case of
diabetics, the moringa leaf
increases satiety and slows the breakdown of food and lower blood
pressure.
Isabgol: Also known as
psyllium husk is often used as a laxative. When isabgol comes in
contact with water, it swells to form a gel-like substance. This slows the
breakdown and absorption of blood glucose. Isabgol also protects
the stomach lining from ulcers and acidity.
Bittergourd or
Karela: Rich
in plant insulin-polypeptide-P, a bio-chemical that is useful in reducing
blood sugar.
Tip: Have karela at least once
a week either as a subzi or
in a curry. If you want quick results, try having a glass of karela juice on an
empty stomach once in three days.
Neem: Found abundantly in
India, the bitter leaf has a number of amazing medicinal properties. Neemenhances insulin
receptor sensitivity, helps improve blood circulation by dilating the
blood vessels, lowers blood glucose levels and reduces one’s
dependence on hypoglycaemic drugs.
Tip: Have the juice of the
tender shoot of neem leaves
on an empty stomach, for best results.
Jambul or Indian blackberry: A glycoside present
in the seeds of Indian blackberry prevents the conversion of starch
to sugar. It lowers blood sugar and helps prevent insulin
spikes. Jambul also
has properties that can protect you from heart diseases and other
vascular disorders.
