The term Diabetes is now a common word since more or less every family across the World has been impacted by it. It is supposedly a known disease that acts as a slow and silent killer, working over years in the human body. Diabetes eventually results in affecting different organs of the body, which could also cause alternative diseases that work as primordial causes of death.
However, it is interesting to know that as per Ayurveda, Diabetes is not considered a disease, but a condition of the human body caused by irregular functioning of hormones.
What is Diabetes, as per Ayurveda?
According to Ayurveda, the human body is made up of three major components:
Vata Dosha: responsible for macro and micro-movements;
Kapha Dosha: responsible for growth and strength; and
Pitta Dosha: responsible for metabolism and digestion.
Diabetes is caused due to an imbalance of Vata and Kapha Dosha in the body.
According to allopathic or general medical studies, Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
Manage Diabetes Naturally!
According to Ayurveda, a large way to manage diabetes is through proper dietary control and exercise, here are a few tips that can help manage Diabetes, naturally:
- Regular Physical Exercise
Exercise increases insulin sensitivity and helps your muscles use glucose effectively. This can lead to reduced blood sugar levels.
- Limit Carbohydrates’ Intake
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which raises blood sugar levels. Reducing carbohydrate intake can help with blood sugar control.
- Increase Soluble Fibre Intake
Eating plenty of fiber can help with blood sugar management. Soluble dietary fiber is the most effective.
- Implement portion control
Monitoring your serving sizes helps reduce calorie intake and subsequent blood sugar spikes
- Opt for foods with a low glycemic index
Eating low-glycemic-index foods has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in those with diabetes
- Get enough and good quality sleep
Sleep deprivation decreases the release of growth hormones and increases cortisol levels. Both of these play an essential role in blood sugar management
- Include the following herbs in your diet
- Gudmar– saves pancreatic cells from damage caused by free radicals and increases insulin secretion thereby lowering blood sugar
- Amla– The soluble fiber in amla dissolves quickly in the body, which helps to slow the rate your body absorbs sugar. This can help reduce blood sugar spikes.
- Daruhaldi– Berberine in Daruhaldi has blood sugar lowering effect. It improves insulin sensitivity and promotes the uptake of glucose by the cells and tissues.
- Nagarmotha– Nagarmotha has been used in the treatment of high blood sugar for ages. It helps block the excess sugar from getting absorbed by the body, thereby managing high blood sugar levels.
- Giloy– It helps to manage diabetes-related complications such as ulcers, wounds, kidney damage due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
