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-
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.

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
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
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.

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!
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-
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.
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
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! ’)
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.
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
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:
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
8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0

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
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
Vitamin C.The latter has the capability to normalize the levels of blood glucose.
Persons intrigued with long-standing diabetese mellitus should daily consume foodsrich in vitamin C.
Garlic
A chemical known as Allicin found in garlic is accepted to possess ant diabetic
effects.
Neem or Indian lilac
It has been found to reduce insulin requirements by up to fifty percent. The leaf
extracts and seeds of this naturally existing curious drug are a sure shot cure for
diabetese mellitus.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 27/43
Indian gooseberry
Indian Gooseberry when taken by mouth assists in declining the blood sugar level by
triggering insulin production within half an hour of utilization.
Mango leaves
The leaves of the mango tree are assumed to have anti-diabetic features. The leaf
juice or decoction is required to be dispensed no less than one hour prior to food
intake so that its wanted effect could take place. The juice of mango leaves assists
in curtailing the absorption of glucose by the intestines and this is the logic in
support of its anti-diabetic response.
Holy Basil
It is endorsed to prepare a decoction from the leaves of Holy Basil and drink it; or
else devour fresh leaves of basil, from the garden and chew them after washing
them thoroughly in running water. You will notice a significant decline in the levels
of blood sugar.

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
8/12/2019 Managing Diabetes Naturally 1.0
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/managing-diabetes-naturally-10 35/43
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:

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

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

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
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!
