Common Food is Effective for Diabetes Prevention

 

Bitter melon seeds appear to be an excellent option.  Ginseng is a bit of a challenge to obtain and use.  Otherwise cooking with bitter melon would look sound asa well.

This will obviously help and can be used safely along with other changes been made.

At least it is an excellent starting point for anyone fighting diabetes.  I have seen so many slide down that path and it is never pretty.

 Common Food is Effective for Diabetes Prevention

Based on the current basic and clinical evidence, children with a family history of diabetes and adult diabetics should really calculate their risks associated with vaccination. If they have already received the COVID-19 vaccines, it is important to minimize the damage caused by them. So what can be done to prevent the possible risks?

Type 1 diabetics have a primary lack of insulin and require insulin injections.

Type 2 diabetes are mainly treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs, but it may also require insulin supplementation depending on the situation.

Due to the poor drug therapy compliance of some patients, the limited access to conventional hypoglycemic drugs for a large population, and the inevitable side effects and drug resistance of conventional pharmaceuticals, people have been looking for effective natural foods, such as natural fruits and vegetables and herbs, to lower their blood sugar. Holistic therapies, including regular exercise, low-sugar and low-carbohydrate diets, adequate sleep and stress control, can be beneficial for type 1 diabetes and even type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, our recommended foods include ginseng, bitter gourd, and berberine. These bitter-tasting foods can be consumed more often, and there is a scientific reason behind it.

Bitter Melon Improves Insulin Function

Bitter melon is a medicinal plant of the gourd family. Scientists have found that its many components, including saponins, polysaccharides, triterpenoids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, and steroids, all have health benefits for the human body.

Scientists have also specifically studied the hypoglycemic effects of various bitter melon concentrates:

A study published in the journal Phytomedicine showed that bitter melon saponins can induce cells to produce more insulin.

Bitter melon can also enhance cellular sensitivity to insulin and reduce metabolic syndrome.

An animal study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2011 showed that bitter melon seeds can increase the sensitivity of peripheral cells to insulin, thereby reducing the symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome, which can be effective against type 2 diabetes.

Overall, bitter melon is beneficial for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes because it:promotes the secretion of insulin

improves insulin resistance

protects pancreatic cells

promotes the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids, stimulates fatty acids, and reduces metabolic syndrome

is anti-inflammatory

is antioxidant

 

A study published in Nutrition Journal in 2015 found that bitter melon has a moderate hypoglycemic effect compared to a glucose-lowering drug called glibenclamide.

Although bitter melon is not as effective as glibenclamide in lowering blood sugar, it can be more effective in improving cardiovascular risk factors associated with diabetes. Triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were significantly lower in people who received bitter melon doses, whereas blood lipids rose in those who took glibenclamide instead.

Diabetes is not simply a blood sugar symptom, but essentially a metabolic disorder. The nutrients in bitter melon can act on multiple levels, as they not only focus on lowering blood sugar, but can also lower blood lipids and help with weight loss. If the entire body’s internal environment is adjusted, and the state of metabolic syndrome is reversed, blood sugar will naturally slowly drop, which is the treatment of the fundamental cause of the disease rather than simply managing symptoms.

Oral hypoglycemic drugs may have a better effect on lowering blood sugar, but they cannot solve the root cause of the disease.

The treatment of the disease should also focus on the big picture, in order to solve the root cause of the disease.
