Permanent CURE of Diabetes is possible......................

According to nature therapy, diabetes is the result of a problem in the
digestive system. This can be overcome easily, and within a short
duration of time, with regular practice of yoga, change in life style,
daily routine and diet control. Generally, people engaged in sedentary
work suffer from this disease. The insulin produced from the pancreas
reduces both in quality and quantity, resulting in a high sugar level,
and the excess glucose flows out through the urine.
Cure for diabetes:
The patient should be given proper rest and should take a controlled
diet. The following should be kept in mind at the time of treating
diabetes. The patient should be stress free. The digestive system should
function normally and the secondary diseases caused due to diabetes
should also be treated and controlled.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disorder characterized by excess amount of blood glucose or blood sugar. This occurs due to
lack of the hormone insulin in the body or because the insulin that is present in the body is not absorbed by

the body. There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes called insulin dependent diabetes that usually
affects children and teenagers and Type 2 that was previously called non-insulin dependent diabetes and
usually affects adults. If left untreated, high glucose levels can damage blood vessels, posing great health
problems in the long run.

Top 10 Fruits for Diabetics | Top 10 Home Remedies

Page 3 of 8

Some fruits are better than others for diabetics. Moreover, diabetics also need to consider factors like glycemic index
and glycemic load as they offer information on how different foods affect blood sugar and insulin levels.
Low glycemic index foods are believed to have a beneficial effect on blood glucose control as they do not significantly
impact blood sugar levels. Usually, foods with a glycemic index score of 55 and below are classified as low
glycemic index foods. Those with a glycemic index score of 70 and above are considered high glycemic index foods.

Here are the top 10 fruits for diabetics.

(Out of the 10, we have covered 3 highly effective home remedies in this
video as well.)

1. Bitter Gourd
Bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon, can be helpful for controlling
diabetes due to its blood glucose lowering effects. It tends to influence the
glucose metabolism all over your body rather than a particular organ or
tissue.
It helps increase pancreatic insulin secretion and prevents insulin resistance.
Thus, bitter gourd is beneficial for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However,
it cannot be used to entirely replace insulin treatment.
Drink some bitter gourd juice on an empty stomach each morning. First remove
the seeds of two to three bitter gourds and use a juicer to extract the juice. Add
some water and then drink it. Follow this treatment daily in the morning for at
least two months.
Also, you can include one dish made of bitter gourd daily in your diet.

2. Cinnamon
Powdered cinnamon has the ability to lower blood sugar levels by
stimulating insulin activity. It contains bioactive components that can help
prevent and fight diabetes.
Certain trials have shown that it can work as an effective option to lower
blood sugar levels in cases of uncontrolled type-2 diabetes.
Cinnamon, however, should not be taken in excess because we commonly
use Cassia cinnamon (found in most grocery stores) which contains a
compound called coumarin. It is a toxic compound that increases the risk of
liver damage.
There is another variety of this herb known as Ceylon cinnamon or true
cinnamon. It is considered safer for health but its effects on blood glucose
levels have not been studied adequately.
Mix one-half to one teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of warm water. Drink it daily.
Another option is to boil two to four cinnamon sticks in one cup of water and
allow it to steep for 20 minutes. Drink this solution daily until you see
improvement.
You can also add cinnamon to warm beverages, smoothies and baked goods.

3. Fenugreek
Fenugreek is an herb that can also be used to control diabetes, improve
glucose tolerance and lower blood sugar levels due to its hypoglycaemic
activity. It also stimulates the secretion of glucose-dependent insulin. Being
high in fiber, it slows down the absorption of carbohydrates and sugars.
Soak two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. Drink the water
along with the seeds in the morning on an empty stomach. Follow this remedy
without fail for a few months to bring down your glucose level.
Another option is to eat two tablespoons of powdered fenugreek seeds daily with
milk.

4. Indian Gooseberry (Amla)

Indian gooseberry, also known as Amla, is rich in vitamin C and Indian
gooseberry juice promotes proper functioning of your pancreas.
Take two to three Indian gooseberries, remove the seeds and grind it into a fine
paste. Put the paste in a cloth and squeeze out the juice. Mix two tablespoon of
the juice in one cup of water and drink it daily on an empty stomach.
Alternatively, mix one tablespoon of Indian gooseberry juice in a cup of bitter
gourd juice and drink it daily for a few months.

5. Black Plum or Indian Black Berry (Jambul)

Black plum or jambul, also known as jamun can help a lot in controlling
blood sugar level because it contains anthocyanins, ellagic acid,
hydrolysable tannins etc.
Each part of the Jambul plant such as the leaves, berry and seeds can be
used by those suffering from diabetes. In fact, research has shown that the
fruits and seeds of this plant have hypoglycemic effects as they help reduce
blood and urine sugar levels rapidly.
The seeds, in particular, contain glycoside jamboline and alkaloid jambosine
that regulate control blood sugar levels.
Whenever this seasonal fruit is available in the market, try to include it in
your diet as it can be very effective for the pancreas. Else you can make a
powder of dried seeds of Jambul fruit and eat this powder with water twice a
day. This fruit is native to India and its neighboring countries but you can find
it at Asian markets and herbal shops.

profiles.

filter the water and drink it on an empty stomach.

The aromatic seeds of cumin are a popular ingredient in North African,

Middle Eastern, Western Chinese, Indian and Northern Mexican cuisine. The
seeds closely resemble caraway seeds in appearance, but have a different
flavor and aroma.
Apart from adding flavor to a dish, cumin boasts health benefits, too. It has
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiflatulent, carminative, stimulant, and
antispasmodic properties.
It is an excellent source of dietary fiber and minerals, such as iron, copper,
calcium, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc and magnesium. It also has
E, A, C and several B-complex vitamins.
You can use both ground and whole cumin seeds to season curries, soups
and stews. Even the powder of dry-roasted cumin seeds can be added to
salads, yogurt, smoothies and juices.

It stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes that support digestion. It

even works as a great acid neutralizer to fight stomach acidity. Plus, being
carminative in nature, it reduces gas-related problems.
A 2008 study published in Food Chemistry highlighted the digestive benefits
of cumin.
Mix 1 teaspoon of roasted cumin seed powder in a glass of water. Drink it once
or twice daily.
You can even add teaspoon each of roasted cumin seed powder and black
pepper to a glass of buttermilk and drink it once daily.

2. Cures Bloating
Abdominal bloating makes the stomach feel full and tight due to gas buildup
in the small intestine. This can lead to stomach pain and abdominal
discomfort.
Bloating can occur due to a number of factors, such as constipation,
indigestion, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS).
A 2013 study published in the Middle East Journal of Digestive Diseases
says that cumin extract is effective in improving all IBS symptoms, including
bloating.
1. Bring 1 cup of water to boil.
2. Add 1 pinch each of ground cumin, ginger powder and sea salt along with
teaspoon of fennel seeds.
3. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Strain, allow it to cool and drink it.
5. Repeat as needed.

3. Eases Colic Pain

Due to its carminative and wind-relieving qualities, cumin is also good for
relieving colic pain, which is a common problem in babies.
1. Put 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds in a cup.
2. Pour hot water over it and cover it.
3. Allow it to steep for 15 minutes.
4. Strain the solution.
5. Give 1 or 2 teaspoons of this cumin water to your child once a day to soothe colic
pain.

4. Treats Anemia
Iron deficiency is one of the main causes of anemia. Being a good source of
iron, cumin can help treat this condition. Iron aids the production of
hemoglobin, a substance in your blood that transports oxygen throughout
your body. Iron also aids in energy production and metabolism.
In fact, 1 tablespoon of cumin provides 4 milligrams of iron.
Include ground cumin in your cooking to prevent iron deficiency and treat
anemia while easing symptoms, such as fatigue, anxiety, cognitive
malfunction and digestive issues.

5. Induces Lactation
As cumin is rich in iron and calcium, it is very good for lactating mothers as
well as pregnant women. It increases secretions from the mammary glands
to stimulate milk production.
Furthermore, it provides strength and energy to new mothers after delivery.
1. Mix 1 teaspoon of cumin powder in a glass of warm milk.
2. Add some honey for taste
3. Drink it daily at night (after dinner) for several weeks.

6. Aids Weight Loss

Cumin is an effective addition to any weight-loss diet. A 2014 study
published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice noted the positive
effect of cumin powder on the body composition and lipid profiles of
overweight and obese women.
It even helps reduce body fat percentage, fasting cholesterol, triglycerides
and low-density lipoproteins (LDL or the bad cholesterol).
Furthermore, it makes your metabolism work harder and also cuts down food
cravings.
Add 1 teaspoon of dry-roasted cumin seeds to 1 cup of yogurt. Eat it twice
daily.
