I earnestly feel that now is the time that all of you should attach weight to the fact
that, for every disorder of your body, Mother Nature has kept numerous awesome,
exclusive and fancy natural tools of healing in her personal treasury. Moreover, Mother
Nature is bent upon providing you such benign ways of healing which do not burden
you with undue side effects. However, it is sheer shortcoming on your part that you
fail to seek them. To be very honest, you have ceased paying attention to your body
and have found the easy way of total dependence on those health professionals who
have been tutored to treat symptoms of any ailment with ruinous remedies.
I dont mean to degrade the health professionals but I earnestly feel that their
approach towards health is unwise and unhealthy. So my earnest advice is that, all of
you should give a stamp of approval to the fact that almost all the pharmaceuticals
recommended by the doctors not only have their own imminent side effects but also
harm you in the long run; as a result they keep you scapegoats for a long time.
Additionally, you should endeavor your best to hang around with all the natural healing
agents, which are not only safe but much more feasible in eradicating various ailments
from your body. Very soon, you will discover that some natural remedies will exceed
your forecasts by performing as healing miracles!
I personally desire to endorse the very own view of Benjamin Franklin that An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When you evaluate this adage, you feel that
it is only a matter of using your common sense (which unfortunately is not
common).The best policy on your part is to gain knowledge on what could be causing
your ailment; because after all Knowledge is power (Francis Bacon-----the English
Philosopher)
By the way, have you ever wondered as to why the Western world is spending loads
of money on research of various herbs and spices that are a normal daily routine in
Asian cuisine?
Well! The explanation is quite straightforward; the trash food that is in the current
fashion all across the globe (India being no exception) is in reality the garbage
thrown everywhere by the Wild West. In due time, they have realized that it is no
more than a great jeopardy to their health (on account of its high fat and sugar
content.)
As a substitute, they have started choosing rainbow colored fruits, green leafy
vegetables together with intensely hued vegetables, high-fiber snacks, whole grains,
milk, yogurt, low-fat cheese, lean meat, olive oil, nuts etc plus adoption of regular
exercise routines.
Through the years, leading edge fact finding has proclaimed that herbs and spices can
have a curative impingement on the human body when used up in huge amassing
and on a regular basis. This is the reason that so many people are now trying to focus
on herbal additives and antidotes that rehabilitate and hold the body just as well as
drugs.
Now coming to the topic of our e-book, Can you manage diabetes naturally?
The answer is a big yes!

You are not the only one who is on the surveillance for a healing agent for diabetes;
many others are doing so too.
Let me highlight the fact that being diabetic is a lifespan state of affairs, so it is
mandatory for you to adjust your lifestyle proportionately. Management of diabetes
means you teach yourself to self-control your life style towards super-vigilance and
reasonableness. This stability in lifestyle today will not only make your life wholesome
for all of your future but may even overturn your diabetese.Eating equitably is
crucial, if you are attempting to regulate or put an end to diabetese. You may be
startled to learn that your nutritive requirements are essentially equivalent to that of
every normal person who is not a known diabetic. In fact all the non-
diabetics should also consume the same diet as is prescribed for the diabetics. Rest
assured, no extraordinary foods or perplexing diets are compulsory for you.
A word of advice to assist in caring for your diabetes is that, there is no such
edible material that diabetics should not eat at all, yet moderation is your key
word. Yes! beyond doubt, a diabetic can eat many things but in moderation.
You should make it a point to consume up to six meals in addition to one or
two nibbles per day.
It is good if you maintain a food diary to write down what you eat and drink.
You should never lope your breakfast. On the contrary, you need to begin your
day with an adequate breakfast so as to empower you to have appropriate
stamina as well as uniform blood sugar levels. Eating punctually will assist you
to keep your food helpings in control.
You need to manage your intake of calories such that they stay over the same.
You should attempt to consume more or less, the same amount of calories
daily, instead of overeating one day and then with-holding subsequently. In
other words, you should learn to discipline yourself. By upholding an everyday
meal roster, not only is your body able to monitor the levels of blood sugar but
your weight also.
Diabetics should learn to eat their meals unhurriedly and cease as soon as they
have a feeling of satiety. They need not indulge in over-eating.
Eating for diabetes doesnt connote that you have to do away with sugar. To be
honest, you can take pleasure in a minor helping of your treasured sweet dish
occasionally; however, the pivotal factors to be kept in mind are balance and
moderation. With the passage of time, when you will successively merge
healthy foods in your daily diet, you will note that your strong desire for certain
foods will hurry away step by step and your inclinations for foods will naturally
get modified towards better and wholesome choices.
It is better for the diabetics to be steady with the intake of calories per day
between 1500 to 1800, the distribution should be such that
Fats=20 percent o
Proteins=20 percent. o
Fiber= 25 to
Starchy carbohydrates like polished rice, rye, bread and other food prepared
from white flour, corn, cakes, cream and creamy biscuits, candies, pastries,
pies, puddings, ice creams, chocolates, soft drinks, fried foods, thick dairy
products such as cheese, khoya(thickened milk) kheer(rice pudding) etc.
Fire foods which are low in fiber and protein and include white rice, white pasta,
white bread, white potatoes, simmered stuff, sweets, French fries, and various
refined eatables.
Food that contains or has been prepared in a medium that holds bad
cholesterol
Hydrogenated fats (which are found in junk food and various wrapped foods.)
Creamy soups
Fruit juices (on account of the fact that, they are high in the fruit sugar known
as fructose and can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly. Also they are
deficient in dietary fiber)
Alcohol
Smoking
There is no harm in tasting the aforementioned foods once in a blue moon but never
more than that.
Being a diabetic, you should punctually devour those foods which serve to regulate
your blood sugar levels. A diabetes diet is plainly a healthy eating scheme that has the
following features:
It is soaring in
nourishment o
fat o
Stunted in
Restrained in calories.
According to the latest research studies, diabetese mellitus always constitutes the
ensuing:
insulin. The edible material rich in zinc includes sardines, lamb, chicken,
almonds, ginger root and fresh oysters.
b. Manganese-----------Its deficiency occurs due to low energy and sweet
cravings
c. Chromium---------Its deficit occurs due to lack of insulins effectiveness
d. Vanadium-----------It is present in Soy, sunflower, safflower, corn, and
olive oils parsley, oats, rice, green beans, carrots, celery, aniseeds,
mushrooms, black pepper and cabbage contain righteous amounts of
vanadium.
As such, those diabetics, who are willing to incorporate the following types of natural
management, are likely to see and experience profound changes towards betterment.
3. Fresh milk
When picking out dairy, without exception, come down in favor of uncooked fresh milk
preferably that of goat.
5. Sleep
One noteworthy fact that you as a diabetic may often disregard is, how important
sufficient sleep and rest are to long term haleness and mending of the body.
Diabetics need to avail a minimum of ten hours restful and undisturbed sleep each
night. Moreover, they should develop and promote a habit of going to bed early so as
to enable them to get the most of their nights rest.
8. Eat healthy
Given that for the rest of your life, this is going to be your motto, so get it embossed
in bold words and hang it in your room. Each day, you are supposed to consume a
diet that consists of sufficient quantities of all the essential health foods.
Eat good carbohydrates such as a porridge made up of oats or barley; both are
high in soluble fiber and help regulate the blood glucose levels. Since, oats are
slower to digest hence they keep you feeling satiated for a long duration. They
are also heart-friendly. It is not a bad idea to add minced almonds or walnuts
to your oatmeal so as to increase its nutritional value and make it more
palatable.
Eat whole grains in the unrefined state e.g. whole kernel bread, brown rice,
whole barley ,millet and wheat berries. The benefit of eating whole grains in
the unrefined state is that they are an agreeable source of fiber and are
absorbed unhurriedly. According to some research studies, some types of
dietary fiber e.g. Psyllium has been exhibited to upgrade glucose tolerance.
Alpha -Lipoic acid has also been show to perk up the responsiveness of the
body to insulin. In addition to being prepared by the body, this anti-oxidant
could be acquired from various foods. This anti-oxidant has been used in parts
of Europe for certain types of nerve damage. Now various research studies
reveal that they can improve insulin resistance. Rice bran, carrots, beets,
Brussels sprouts, yams, potatoes, yeast, tomatoes etc contain this antioxidant
in low amounts.
Use whites of egg on a daily basis. Egg whites are advantageous on account of
being abundant in immense-quality lean protein; at the same time they are
stunted in carbohydrates. Thus they supervise or even avert the adult onset
diabetes by regulating the levels of blood sugar.
Take up lean meat and make sure to clean cut and trim any visible fat prior to
and after cooking. Also discard the skin from the poultry items before cooking it
so that skinless chicken is used for cooking.
Use almonds, pumpkin seeds and spinach as pleasureful sources of good fats
as well as the mineral magnesium, which is very important for those of you
who are intrigued with adult onset diabetes. Complementing this mineral
enhances the activity of insulin in your body.
Try to match baked, grilled or roasted fresh fish such as cod, catfish, salmon,
sardines, tuna, tilapia and halibut with lentils, peas, soy products or beans to
keep your blood sugar from up surging. This is because all these fish are not
only dense in omega 3 fatty acids (hence heart-friendly) but also include a
healthy unification of good fat and protein, which is gratifying for the diabetics.
Additionally, this alliance of fat and protein restricts the bodys intake of
carbohydrates thereby preserving blood sugar on a consistent slump. The
aforementioned vegetables are lean protein alternatives and are very good for
diabetics.Thus diabetics should make friends with oily fish.(Do you feel like
crying Holy Mackerel! )
Incorporate non-fat yogurt /ice-cream and custard into your daily diet. It
consists of carbohydrates and protein of an upraised quality; as a result, it
delays or holds back unsound elevations in the levels of blood sugar. Being
well-healed in calcium, these edibles are associated with a reduced risk of adult
onset diabetes.
Use skimmed milk and non fat cheese in your daily diet
Diabetics should opt for grilled, baked, roasted or steamed food so that the
usage of oil is minimal. Also the low-fat cooking methods scale down the
amount of added fat. Always discharge and wash off fat after cooking.
Decide on ten to twelve glasses of fresh and clean drinking water per day. This
amount could be increased or decreased in accordance with the severity or
mildness of the weather conditions.
Call for calorie-free diet drinks rather than customary soda, fruit mock tails,
sugary coffee, tea and other sugary drinks
Settle upon a slim-layer pizza which should have surplus vegetable garnishes.
Confine yourself to not more than one or two pieces of pizza.
Diabetics should tail-end their meals with chilled simple yogurt that does not
contain sugar/animal/vegetable fats.
Whenever you have a craving for something sweet, use honey or palm sugar
instead of white sugar which is nothing but a WHITE POISON and a source of
empty calories.
Always use good fats such as olive oil/peanut oil/cotton seed oil/sunflower
oil/safflower oil/grape seed oil/sesame oil/ canola oil/corn oil/ soybean oil/ as a
medium for cooking. Diabetics need to remember once and for all that
management of diabetese is all about learning to make healthy choice and to
replace bad fats with good ones that promote health and well-being. The
concept of good fats and bad fats should absolutely be apparent to you and once you
become aware of their significance, start cutting down the bad fats from your daily
meals. It may not be out of place to mention here that Trans fats are bad fats because
they tend to elevate the bad cholesterol while lowering the good cholesterol in the
blood. Trans fats are present in many merchandizing baked goods, various deep-fried
foods and French fries. Given that diabetics are at an increased hazard for heart
disease, so it is even more important to be astute about the use of fats. Some fats are
unhealthy and others have huge health benefits. But all fats are high in calories, so
you should always watch your portion sizes.
Exercise liberal use of condiments such as pepper, chili, mustard, herbs and spices in
your meals.
Diabetics can use coal foods in an unbiased style. What is coal food? You might ask
me. Well they are the foods that have a high content of protein as well as fibers, both
of which are good for diabetics. They entail the following:
o Seeds o Nuts
o Lean meats o
Whole grains o
Beans o Brown
rice o Whole
wheat bread o
Whole wheat
pasta o Seafood
Not less than five helpings of those fruits and vegetables which are high in fiber
content. The reason being that the more the amount of fiber in the diet, the more is
the amount of chromium, which is very helpful in the treatment of diabetes. In fact,
Diabetes has been highly affiliated with a shortage of chromium, in the top layer of soil
where our foods get ripened.

As far as vegetables are concerned, diabetics should consume raw vegetables in large
quantity because cooked food elevates the level of blood sugar swiftly.
Examples of vegetables that are good for diabetics are as follows:
Onions
Garlic
Ginger
Cucumber
Carrot
Cabbage
Tomato
Radish
Spinach
Kale
Moong
Bitter gourd
Fig Leaves
Figs leaves are more often than not utilized in dealing with diabetese mellitus. They
are considered to possess anti-diabetic features that assist them in diminishing the
levels of blood sugar. Fig leaves can either be straightly chomped on an empty
stomach, or the leaves can be stewed in water which could be consumed like tea. If a
diabetic keeps drinking this decoction on a daily basis, his or her requirement for
insulin decreases.
Fenugreek seeds
Fenugreek seeds are abundant in sugar-reducing features. The leaves of Fenugreek
plant can be eaten up in the form of curry. Fenugreek assists in diminishing the
reliance on insulin, when consumed in repeatedly.
For this purpose, you need to drench a teaspoonful of fenugreek seeds in a glass of
water for the duration of a night and drunk on an empty stomach the subsequent
morning such that it should not be followed by any food or medicine for the next half
an hour. This antidote needs to be taken twice/thrice per week.
Cinnamon
This familiar spice is not only reinforces tang and aroma but has valuable antidiabetic
features analogous to insulin in diminishing the levels of blood glucose. It is advised
to take half spoon of cinnamon powder daily to get the results yearned for.
Cinnamon could also be nibbled in its prevailing form rather than its powder.
Vitamin E
Flavonoids
Linoleic acid-------It has the following blessings for the human body:
o Escalates metabolic rate o Reduces belly
fat o Reinforces muscle growth o
Decreases the levels of bad cholesterol
o Minimizes insulin resistance
o Intensifies the immune system of bodily
resistance
Olive oil
Olive oil has the ability to turnabout the frequency of adult onset diabetese mellitus.
Bitter gourd
Juice
Braised
Fried
A point of importance is that, in order to produce the finest holdings, bitter gourd
should be consumed on an empty stomach each morning but at the same time, the
user needs to be heedful because it is so effective in decreasing the levels of blood
sugar that hypoglycemia may ensue.
Garlic
A chemical known as Allicin found in garlic is accepted to possess ant diabetic effects.
Indian gooseberry
Indian Gooseberry when taken by mouth assists in declining the blood sugar level by
triggering insulin production within half an hour of utilization.
Mango leaves
The leaves of the mango tree are assumed to have anti-diabetic features. The leaf
juice or decoction is required to be dispensed no less than one hour prior to food
intake so that its wanted effect could take place. The juice of mango leaves assists in
curtailing the absorption of glucose by the intestines and this is the logic in support
of its anti-diabetic response.
Holy Basil
It is endorsed to prepare a decoction from the leaves of Holy Basil and drink it; or
else devour fresh leaves of basil, from the garden and chew them after washing
them thoroughly in running water. You will notice a significant decline in the levels of
blood sugar.
Ladys Finger
This vegetable is not only a good source of dietary fibers but also assists in delaying
the assimilation of glucose from the intestines. Drench one lady's finger (cut open in
the middle) in a glass of water overnight and gobble up on an empty stomach. If this
practice is carried out uninterruptedly for a month, the blood glucose levels are
decreased markedly.
Soy
Soy holds isoflavones that assist in toning down the levels of blood sugar; at the same
time it keeps the body well fed. It also defends against the aggregation of adipose
tissue (fat) in the body, because it provides a minute amount of calories.
Papaya
Beans
Beans assist in bgging down the process of assimilation so that any elevation in blood
glucose levels is averted. Moreover they contribute a feeling of satiety to the stomach
so that the diabetic does not indulge in overeating at any cost.
Grape fruit
Diabetes Mellitus treatment can be achieved by using Grapefruit. Grapefruit is known
to be one of the best foods a diabetic patient can eat. If you have sugar, use three
grapefruits, three times a day. If you do not have sugar, but you have a tendency
toward it then eat three grapefruits a day
Parslane
Diabetes Mellitus treatment can be attained by using Parslane, the seeds of which have
been found to be useful antidotes for treatment of diabetese. A teaspoon of these
seeds are taken every day with a cup of water.
Apples
Take one apple and cut into pieces and place them in a pan; add four cups water and
let it boil; cook until the water is decreased to half. Drink this water every morning
and every night. The mitigation of diabetese will occur within two months.
Honey
Alfalfa
A magnificent point of supply of minerals (diabetics encounter a surplus mineral loss
due to repeated urination)
Soy Protein
Soy Protein is a wonderful source of low fat protein which is necessary for the proper
functioning of fine and fit areas of specialized insulin receptors.
Ginseng
Ginseng has been shown to improve the levels of blood sugar.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a by-product of the thorny but yummy aloe Vera plant. It has curative,
comforting and revitalizing features. Intake of aloe Vera juice can provide a helping
hand to correct blood glucose levels, lessen blood lipids levels, accelerated healing of
wounds and ulcers; the latter are among the complications of diabetese. Aloe Vera
possesses these features due to the presence of the following compounds:
Lectins
Mannans
Anthraquinones
omit the significance of performing regular physical effort to improve health and
fitness, which not only facilitates your efforts in keeping up weight loss but also in
curtailing the levels of blood sugar.
There is convincing proof that repeated exercise can upgrade your insulin
responsiveness, even if you fail to lose weight. All you need to do is to embrace a nonexhausting fitness scheme; just take it easy and keep it simple.
Aerobics is another key word, which diabetics need to keep in mind. The term
aerobics indicates in the presence of oxygen or using oxygen Strength training
aerobic exercises and a symmetrical balanced diet are what our bodies need to keep
going on a suitable and healthful lifestyle. As a matter of fact, every exercise begins
with an absence of free oxygen but as soon as our body proceeds into the portal for
the need for oxygen we automatically begin to take part in an aerobic venture. Any
aerobic exercise is most efficient at a potency of sixty-five to eighty-five percent, for
a minimum of half an hour per day. This much vigor construes to an elevated heart
rate and respiration which continues uninterruptedly for the duration of the workout.
Aerobic exercise is crucial for building resilience and cardio-respiratory robustness
but you also need strength training to recoup and cling to muscle strength. For those
of you, who are just starting to be active on a journey towards fitness, a regime or
drill of thirty minutes each day three times each week, with a target potency of sixtyfive percent is all that is required. As soon as you are a couple weeks into your drill,
you should start to expand the time span, force, and the rate of your workouts at a
slow pace.
It may not be out of place to mention here that aerobics yield up surged insulin
responsiveness and a diminution in its daily requirement. A physical activity on a
repeated basis has a defending response against vascular complications. Loss of
weight as a result of regular exercise is, beneficial for the diabetics on account of
the following benefits:
It reduces body fat which melts and gets transformed to energy en route the
muscles and wonderfully assists those with adult-onset diabetese.
Indulgence in any repetitive physical activity cuts down stress and helps
preserve the holding ability for vigor and vividity. This fact is very important for
the convenient and hassle-free life a diabetic
Those diabetics who repeatedly perform an exercise have the slightest likelihood
of being affected by any sort of heart ailment.
Redone and reworked physical actions and movements boost the working of
insulin and thus regulate the blood sugar levels. For this reason, it is crucial for
a diabetic to sustain this as a daily convention.
To tell you the truth, you dont have to be a diabetic to indulge in any sort of
regular workout. For any human being (irrespective of the fact whether he or
she is plagued with a minor of major ailment or not) repeated exercise is of
meaningful importance.
Your body has been designed by its Creator in such a manner that it needs ample
oxygen as well as nourishment (in the form of a balanced diet) on a daily basis; only
then is it able to function properly. Whenever there is surplus bulge in the body, the
oxygen as well as the nourishment finds it troublesome to reach the cells inside the
body in a smooth and steady manner; however, as soon as you initiate an exercise
programme on a daily basis, your spare body fat starts melting down and your energy
level starts to upsurge by allowing the oxygen as well as the nourishment to make an
entrance inside the body very smoothly and evenly
Good health and robustness of the body are the unparalleled and perfect institutive
actions to combat all sorts of maladies. By following fitness measures for your body,
gradually you would become healthier and attain power to shoot out all the ailments
not to mention this glucose derangement known as diabetese mellitus.
Merely by doing all these movements and actions, the glucose capacity in the body
directly get converted into stamina, without the working of insulin.
But Please For Heavens sake, I request all of you not to overdo any of these activities.
Okay!
Prior to initiating any exercise programme, there are several safety measures that
diabetics need to take.
It is compulsory for you to test your blood sugar level prior to initiation of any
exercise. In case it is sunken, you should not exercise at that time because the
exercise will make your sugar level even pared down.
stretches so that your body returns to normal activity at a slow rather than
desperately abrupt pace.
Effort and discipline is needed to stick to your exercise routine. It is easier if you
set a schedule. You can try setting specific days for your routine. Track your
workout duration and the food you eat before as well as after exercise.
The more you do, the easier it becomes.
It has been proved that introducing regular exercise into our lives can help us
live longer and greatly improve our health. Exercise stimulates the heart and
lungs, which makes them more efficient in maintaining our bodily functions.
Always warm up prior to initiation of any exercise and cool down after
culminating it.
In case the demands of the job a diabetic is indulged in, gives him or her
absolutely no time for workouts during week days then he/she should endeavor
to make weekends their workout days.
Jogging is the ideal exercise to bring about a positive change in your life
Let me highlight again that a healthy diet combined with a steady workout scheme is
indispensable to fitness of any diabetic.
Epilogue
Diabetes is not a condition that should drive us into distress as it can be managed
quite effectively if handled in the appropriate way. If supervised carefully, you can
indeed live a virtually normal life by bringing about simple modifications in your
lifestyle.
It is a fact that a thing that is not calculated cannot be upgraded. Given that
management of diabetese by oneself is an essential part of dealing with and regulating
diabetese, hence diabetics should categorically gauge their blood sugar levels to
superintend nourishment, medicaments and insulin taken into their body. If done
earnestly, any complications (such as neuropathies, blindness, and kidney failure)
occurring over a long period of time could be averted.
Diabetese Mellitus and many other diseases result from a sluggish and desk bound
lifestyle plus an unsound diet.
When it comes to the management of diabetese, the regulation of blood sugar levels is
generally the dominant matter in hand. Though healthy eating is the foundation of any
plan that deals with management of diabetese, yet much more than that what matters
the most is what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat?
Bottom line:
Managing diabetese is not only a science, it is a fine art!
