6 Foods that Heal Diabetes
Hiya Beauties!
The rate of diabetes worldwide has reached pandemic proportions. According to International Diabetes Federation, over 380 million people worldwide are living with diabetes.
46 percent of people are undiagnosed, and the total number of cases will increase by 55 percent within the next 20 years.
Diabetes is a degenerative disease signified by a higher concentration of glucose levels in the blood, because the body is unable to utilize sugar due to a deficiency of insulin. In healthy, non-diabetic individuals, food is broken down to glucose with the aid of insulin, which is used to bring blood sugar to the body’s cells for energy.
According to allopathic medicine, diabetes is caused by the failure of the pancreas. If the pancreas stops the production of insulin hormones, glucose cannot enter the body cells where it must be converted into the more acceptable substance of glycogen (energy).
Heal Diabetes – Type I and Type II
Let’s further explore the true causes and cures of two main diabetes types.
Heal diabetes – Type I
Type I is called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, it must therefore be injected daily. According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Type I arises from exposure to viruses. These viruses cause an autoimmune response that destroys the beta cells that produce insulin in infants and children. Exposure to a protein in cow’s milk in infancy can also trigger the autoimmune response. Type I diabetes is often referred as juvenile-onset diabetes, but it can affect people of any age.
Heal Diabetes Type II
Type II is often called non-insulin dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes, and it can occur at any age. Ninety percent of diabetics are type II; they produce insulin, but the cells are unable to use it properly. Although genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to diabetes, the true causes are lifestyle and diet. A diet high in refined carbohydrates such as white sugar, white flour, and cooked animal saturated fats, and a lifestyle that includes coffee, smoking, and television are all factors to trigger diabetes.
Diabetes
“Diabetes has no cure, it can only be managed”, states much of the medical establishment; but in 1920, Dr. Max Gerson healed Dr. Albert Schweitzer of diabetes with live food.
The living food lifestyle has proven itself to be a powerful approach in the amelioration of many health issues. Such as diabetes, depression, osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, weight problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, mood disorder, low energy levels etc.
To heal diabetes naturally, it is important to incorporate at least 80 % of organic, fresh living (raw) plant food. These are fresh green-leafy vegetables, fatty plant foods (no animal fat), raw and sprouted nuts and seeds and sea vegetables. So as sprouts, high quality oils, and high-fibre, low-glycemic, and low insulin-index food.
What are phytonutrients and antioxidants
Phytonutrients are naturally occurring substances that plants create for their own protection. They give plants their color, flavour, taste and resistance to disease. First of all phytonutrients are beneficial for us, as they boost immunity, fight disease and turn on the anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory genes. But the most important fact is that these phytonutrients turn off the diabetes-causing genes and turn on the anti-diabetic genes.
6 Foods That Heal Diabetes
♥ Eat a variety of red and orange organic vegetables that are high in carotenoids such as raw carrots, red and yellow peppers. Carotenoids destroy free radicals before they do any cell damage, reduce inflammation, decrease heart disease, prevent cataracts and support the immune system. You can eat all of the vegetables except those with a high-glycemic index, such as cooked carrots, cooked beets, cooked yams, parsnips and white potatoes.
♥ Eat only low-glycemic fruits such as pomegranates, goji berries, grapefruit, lemons, cherries. Also eat unsweetened cranberries – a rich blend of phytonutrients that fight disease. In addition add non-sweet fruits such as tomatoes, avocados, and cucumbers.
♥ The best oils to use are those high in omega 3 and cold-pressed such as walnuts, flax seed oil, and hemp. You can also add coconut, sesame and avocado oil for variety.
♥ Garlic, onions, leeks, radishes, brussels sprouts, watercress, arugula, and spirulina are sources of sulfur, which is very important for insulin function. Sulfur is anti-inflammatory; it detoxifies your body and balances blood sugar.
♥ Fiber slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream and prevents insulin from spiking above the normal levels. It improves the transit time and lowers the glycemic index of food. Fibre makes you feel full when eating, and therefore it is very useful for weight management. Also eat cucumbers, celery, flaxseeds, lentils, beans, apples, nuts and seeds to balance blood sugar and relieve constipation. And lignans in flax improve the metabolism of estrogen and testosterone.
♥ And use only stevia, cinnamon and cardamom as a sweetener for the first six months. Then you can add bee pollen granules, mesquite powder and carob.
What we think, believe and do is a reflection of our internal balance and harmony with ourselves.
In conclusion the healing of diabetes requires personal awareness, world equilibrium, and environmental consciousness. As we achieve this level it becomes easier to make proper food choices.
Love and Light
