DIABETES AND ITS HOME REMEDY

The latest amazing news that caught my eye while reading from medindia.com was that, simple household tasks such as doing the laundry, ironing or washing up may reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. It said that light activity was associated with a lower blood glucose level. High glucose levels are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Doing light intensity activity, such as doing the ironing or folding clothes or going for a gentle walk was beneficially associated with lower blood glucose levels. It was found that every hour of light chores completed, there was a 0.2 drop in blood glucose levels. Almost everyone knows about someone or the other either family or friend suffering from diabetes.

Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism. The main source of fuel in our body is glucose, and most of the food we eat, is broken down into glucose, which after digestion passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. Insulin must be present for glucose to get into the cells. In people with diabetes, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin. In the blood the glucose builds up, that overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body in the urine. Thus the main source of fuel is lost from the body. There are three main type of diabetes: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Type 2 is the most common diabetes associated with older age, obesity, family history, previous history of gestational diabetes and physical inactivity. The fasting blood glucose test is the test for diagnosing in children and non pregnant adults. It is done in the morning. Diabetes is recognized as one of the leading causes of death and disability, and is associated with long-term complications tat affect almost every part of the body. The discovery of insulin was the first major breakthrough in diabetes treatment. Adults with diabetes are at higher risk for cardio vascular dsease.People with diabetes must take responsibility for their day-to-day care.

It is noticed that those with obesity, tension and worries, high blood pressure, hereditary, high cholesterol, insulin deficiency and insulin resistance are the cause diabetes. Those with diabetes normally complain of hunger and thirst most of the time. They do not tend to put on weight and get tired easily. Feeling very weak, looking very pale and itching around the genital organs are some of the other complains.

Today many are trying to follow home remedies for diabetes which can also bring a lot of change in their lives. Here are some diabetes cure home remedies:
Eating three grape fruits three times a day is considered most beneficial. Taking 1tbsp of gooseberry juice and mixing it with a cup of bitter gourd juice is another effective remedy. Take 15 fresh mango leaves and boil them in 1 glass of water. Keep it overnight and filter and drink the next morning. Taking ten tulsi leaves, ten neem leaves and ten belpatras with a glass of water early morning on an empty stomach works wonders in keeping the sugar levels under control. Eating 10 fresh fully grown curry leaves every morning for three months prevents diabetes due to hereditary factors and also cures diabetes due to obesity.
