Foreword

I earnestly feel that now is the time that all of you should attach weight to the factthat, 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 ruinousremedies.

I don’t 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 Bac on-----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 leafyvegetables 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!

Bye -bye diabetes

The main task, while keeping an eye on diabetes is, to see that the level of blood

sugar level does not exceed beyond the normal range. Regulating blood sugar isreally a skill, which could be learnt by anybody who knows what to do and what not

to do. All you need is an earnest effort and personal determination to achieve the

target.

You are not the only one who is on the surveillance for a healing agent for diabetes;

many others are doing so too.

Diabetes is an ailment, which could only be fought by gaining appropriate knowledge

about the dos and don’ts of this malady. By eating a bonafide diet that contains

adequate amounts of all the essential nutriments and by doing regular exercises,

you can live a cheery life in good shape, very much alike that of non-diabetics.

The right diet for diabetics includes starches in the form of whole grains, bread,

cereals; fresh fruits and vegetables, some meat products, and a little of good fat

and sweets. How much you need to eat of these, may depend on your body weight

and other needs. In case, you decide to use an herbal remedy for diabetes, you

should categorically interrogate your physician to confirm that it does not interfere

with any of your current medications, in case you are using one or more of them for

the control of diabetes.

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-

Page 7: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 7/43

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 suchedible 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 beginyour 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 d iabetes doesn’t connote tha t 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.

Page 8: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 8/43

Sugar is also known as white poison

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

o Carbohydrates should comprise 60 percent

o Fats=20 percent

o Proteins=20 percent.o Fiber= 25 to 50 g fiber should be consumed each day.

The everyday menu of a diabetic should incorporate a variety of foods which

they are permitted to consume.

Diabetese does not have to be a potentially fatal sickness. By making use of the

natural remedies discretely, any patient could live a normal and healthy life.

Foods that diabetics need to avoid or limit

The four white poisons i.e.Salt,sugar,flour,Chinese salt known as Ajinomoto

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.

Very sweet fruits such as bananas, mangoes, date etc.

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.)

Anything that holds unhealthy preserver chemical compounds (preservatives)

All edible things that hold too much salt

Creamy toppings such as mayonnaise

Creamy soups

High-fat topping salads and dressings

Pre-processed junk food

Page 10: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 10/43

Say no to junk food!

Unhealthy tidbits such as chips or crackers

Ready to eat food designed for ease of consumption

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.

What should a diabetic do?

Checking blood sugar is easy

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:

o It is soaring in nourishment

o Stunted in fat

o Restrained in calories.

According to the latest research studies, diabetese mellitus always constitutes the

ensuing:

1. Deficiency of the following minerals

a. Zinc--------- Its deficiency occurs due to poor production of Insulin

because this mineral plays a critical role in the creation and stockpile of

Page 12: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 12/43

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

cravingsc. Chromium---------Its deficit occurs due to lack of insulin ’s 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.

2. Buildup of noxious metals in the pancreas and somewhere else3. Other shortcomings and pollutions

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.

1.

The significance of hydration

Imperfect hydration is a common affair in diabetics, because elevated blood sugars

can prompt the body to sweep water from the body in efforts to eliminate surplus

glucose in the blood. This is the reason why persistent discharge of urine and

uncontrolled thirst often takes place in coexistence with diabetese.

In many cases, merely the introduction of fluid into the body can literally help to

intercept insulin resistance, if not inverse the diabetic condition wholly. That’s thereason why adult diabetics should be encouraged to drink 3-3.5 Liter water/24

hours. Preference should be given to carbon-only filtered tap water (which removes

the common inorganic pollutants) or water from natural springs, which have great

mineral content. Diabetics should avoid filtered water and reverse osmosis water

because both these types fail to hydrate a person adequately.

Caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee, coke, Pepsi etc, liquor and fruit juices should

be abstained at all costs, on account of the fact that all of these accord dehydration.

Page 13: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 13/43

2. Organic meat is the best meat for diabetics

Diabetics (and as a matter of fact even those who are non-diabetics) should settle

upon only those meats, which are acquired from animals raised on natural pastures

with freedom of movement. This organic meat is good for everyone’s health

{diabetics being no exception.}

3. Fresh milk

When picking out dairy, without exception, come down in favor of uncooked fresh

milk preferably that of goat.

Raw goat milk if drunk instantly is fantastic for diabetics!

Page 14: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 14/43

4. Minerals and vitamins

It is obligatory for diabetics to take mineral and vitamin add-ons because as

mentioned earlier, diabetese is customarily related to mineral deficits. The mineralsof diabetics are further exhausted by utilization of carbohydrates. You need to

remember that in the absence of an appropriate input and assimilation of these

crucial and imperative materials of nourishment, our bodies cannot carry out the

fundamental tasks that are essential to endure life. Also a shortfall of minerals and

vitamins lowers the desirable standards of adequate management of blood sugar.

Thus, it is compulsory for all folks {and specifically for all diabetics} to consume add-

ons of the above-mentioned minerals prepared from high quality food-basedsources. Diabetics should consume calcium, magnesium, selenium, vitamin A and D,

E, C and B-complex series of vitamins, kelp etc as an obligation. More than that,

these add-ons have been exhibited in assisting the body in curtailment of wreckage

to the nerves, eyes and kidneys which are put in jeopardy, with progressive or long-

standing diabetese mellitus.

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 night’s rest.

6. The stress factor

Another factor, which matters much, is to bring about diminution of worries,

tensions and anxieties in the daily lives of diabetics. These negative features can

strain the adrenal glands of the body, triggering more sugar to be discharged into

the blood. Diabetics should never ever immolate the maintenance of their own well-

Page 15: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 15/43

being, while continuing their extensive and thoroughgoing lifestyle. This plan and

configuration, if not amended, can lead to considerable health issues.

7. Diabetics should not walk with bare feet.

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.

Page 16: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 16/43

Oats porridge serves as a good source of fiber and energy

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.

Integrate brewer’s yeast or a chromium add -on into your sequence of actions.The latter assists in enhancing glucose tolerance by elevating the

responsiveness of your body to insulin.

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

Page 17: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 17/43

studies reveal that they can improve insulin resistance. Rice bran, carrots,

beets, Brussels sprouts, yams, potatoes, yeast, tomatoes etc contain this anti-

oxidant in low amounts.

Some authentic documentation indicates that adding vitamin D to make up

for any of its deficit can elevate insulin levels in some diabetics.

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 bod y’s 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! ’)

Page 18: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 18/43

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. Beingwell-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 theusage 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.

Go for a plate of salad comprising raw, natural fruits and vegetables

recommended for diabetics.

Page 19: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 19/43

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 onceyou 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

Page 20: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 20/43

o Beans

o Brown rice

o Whole wheat bread

o Whole wheat pastao Seafood

It is mandatory for diabetics to consume the following :

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 for the herbal origins of chromium they consist of:

1.

Kelp2. Licorice

3. Spirulina

4. Guava

Sugar and processed foods drain chromium from the body.

Such types of food lower the requirement for insulin by releasing energy into the

body cells slowly. Examples of such fruits are:

Page 21: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 21/43

Guava is good for diabetese

o Indian blackberry(Jamun)

o Fig

o Kiwi

o Avocado

o Apples

o Pomegranate

o Citrus fruits

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

Page 22: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 22/43

Carrot

Cabbage

Tomato

Sprouted kidney beans Radish

Spinach

Kale

Moong

Fenugreek seeds which have been soaked in water

Bitter gourd

Juice of bitter melon.

The aforementioned nutrient-heaped vegetables have huge amounts of fiber and

diminished amounts of carbohydrates. They are low-cost, low-calorie, resourceful

and practically fat free. They could be eaten liberally.

Some natural treatments of diabetese

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 anti-

diabetic 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.

Grape seed excerpt

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 24/43

Lately research investigations have revealed that grape seeds have the ability to cut

down the levels of blood sugar.

Grape seeds are abundant points of origin of

Vitamin E

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins(these function as hunters of free radicals in the

human body)

Flavonoids

Linoleic acid-------It has the following blessings for the human body:

o Escalates metabolic rateo 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

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 25/43

Olive oil has the ability to turnabout the frequency of adult onset diabetese mellitus.

Bitter gourd

Page 26: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 26/43

Bitter gourd is an aged countermeasure to treat diabetes at home. It can be

consumed in the following styles:

Juice

Braised Fried

Stock prepared by boiling bitter gourd

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.

Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables

Guavas,oranges,peaches,lemons,pears,pineapples,peppers,parsley,kale,leeks,spinach

,Brussels sprouts etc are some examples of foods that have an abundance of

The benefits of exercise in diabetics

Are you aware of the absolute elixir for a diabetic?

No!No problem! I am just going to make you more knowledgeable and wiser for sure.

When it comes to averting, supervising, or overturning diabetese, you can’t afford to

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

non- exhausting fitness scheme; just take it easy and keep it simple.

Walking is beneficial for health

Page 35: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

The truth is that the most effortless and trouble-free exercise is to begin treading for

thirty minutes for five or more times per week. Though you can also attempt

aerobics, swimming, biking, or any other undertaking or venture that ranges fromforty to sixty percent of maximum heart rate. In other words you can indulge in any

activity of moderate power, during which you could easily carry on a talk, chat or

gossip side by side while doing a work up involving light perspiration during which

you could inhale and exhale strongly but with ease.

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 trainingaerobic 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 sixty-five 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:

Page 36: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

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 helpspreserve 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 ofinsulin and thus regulate the blood sugar levels. For this reason, it is crucial

for a diabetic to sustain this as a daily convention.

Upsurges the levels of your efficiency and power.

To tell you the truth, you don’t 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.

Why? You might ask me

Well! Put on your thinking cap!

Any guess work?

No!

OK! I’ll tell you the reason

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

Page 37: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 37/43

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 evenlyGood 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 Heaven’s sake, I request all of you not to overdo any of these

activities.

Want to know the reason?

Okay!

To be honest, any overindulgence in any of these activities can deliver opposing

detrimental effects in a diabetic by elevating the blood glucose levels.

Keep in mind once and for all that agreeable amounts of exercise assist the body

while overzealous painstaking ones bankrupt the body in a manner similar to the

manner in which famine pilfers the body of relevant health foods.

Exercise safety measures for diabetics

It is best to be physically active

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.

Don't jump into a strenuous, physically taxing routine-especially if you aren't

accustomed to exercising. This can do more harm than good; for instance, it

can put too much strain on your heart and cause problems with that. Always

warm up before initiating any exercise and cool down after completion of

Page 39: Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 39/43

exercise. Also, any time you plan on exercising, begin leisurely with

straightening your body or a part of it to its full length so as to tone up your

muscles steadily and gradually. Then continue or repeat the exercise with

stretches so that your body returns to normal activity at a slow rather thandesperately abrupt pace.

Walking is often the acclaimed exercise for diabetics because it is also heart-

friendly. Exercise could be as simple as walking the dog, climbing the stairs,

walking to the nearby shopping mall or superstore but diabetics need to do it

constantly and consistently. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you

find a routine you can stick to.

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.

The human machinery has been designed to move........act .......and........

proceed BUT for a diabetic the workout plan has to be devised very sensibly.

The focus should be to attain a lean but healthy body..

By not exercising our bodies as we should, we are actually harming them. If a

machine is not used for a long time, or used very little, it seizes up! It is a fact

that most of the health problems of heart disease and diabetes are caused by

lack of exercise coupled with a poor diet.

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.

It also strengthens the bones and muscles, making us less susceptible to

injuries and back problems. Exercise helps to reduce high blood pressure and

cholesterol. It boosts our immune systems, and makes us less likely to be laid

low by common illnesses such as colds and flu. We will have the fitness and

stamina to cope with anything our daily life throws at us.

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 shouldendeavor to make weekends their workout days.

Short burst of exercise throughout the day helps too.

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 canindeed 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!
