Diabetes has become a true epidemic in our society worldwide. Diabetes now affects 425 million adults worldwide and continues to spread rapidly. And the WHO projects that by 2030, diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death in the world. However, 80% of the increase in cases in recent years has been related to our way of life; risk factors that, therefore, are modifiable. Here are 5 natural tips to prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications
1. LET YOUR DIET BE YOUR FIRST MEDICINE
EAT SLOW
It takes 20 minutes for the brain to fully receive the satiety messages. A 2013 Japanese study showed that the risk of obesity is 3.93 times higher in men who eat quickly than in those who eat slowly. And that the proportion of the waist circumference of the participants gradually increases with increasing feeding speed.
In addition, eating quickly increases the concentration of calories in the blood.
In order to reduce this concentration of calories rapidly, the metabolism has lip genesis as its preferred mode of action and, therefore, the transformation of calories into fatty acids in adipocytes.
The WHO has defined that a maximum of 10% of daily calories should be consumed in the form of sugar; or 25 g / day; which is equivalent to 5 pieces of sugar. For comparison, a fast food meal contains 20 pieces of sugar.
EAT SOLUBLE FIBRE
Consuming viscous water-soluble fibres reduces hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes after meals and on an empty stomach. Soluble fibres include mucilage, pectin, gums, but also cereals, legumes, algae. They are found in fruits and vegetables rich in pectin (apple, orange, asparagus, beans and green peas, carrots). Chia seeds, flaxseed and blond cilium integuments are a very interesting source of fibre.
2. RESUME REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Physical activity increases insulin sensitivity. Also, physical activity requires energy; the cells will use more sugar than circulating in the blood. Therefore, all activity has a favourable effect on the glaciated haemoglobin results. It is recommended to practice a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity each day. Regularity is essential because the benefits on glycaemic control and insulin sensitivity wear off after just one week of stopping sports training.
3. REGULATE YOUR STRESS
The insulin secretion curve follows that of cortisol (stress hormone) with a delay of ten minutes. The higher the cortisol, the more insulin is needed to carry glucose into the cells. Chronic stress, by causing a lasting increase in the level of cortisol in the blood, induces insulin resistance with its consequences, among which is the storage of fat.
Take care of yourself! Give yourself a regular activity just for you, to disconnect from the mental load and let yourself go. Yoga, Do In, relaxation, reflexology, massages, try to find the one that suits you best.
4. FULL OF VITAMINS AND TRACE ELEMENTS
Micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies are a risk factor for diabetes and chronic diseases in general.
Chromium improves insulin sensitivity and optimizes its action. Lack of magnesium and zinc promotes insulin resistance. These two micronutrients enhance the activation of cell receptors that allow the penetration of glucose. Calcium enhances insulin production and release. Potassium also helps decrease insulin resistance. And manganese acts on the metabolism of glucose.
B vitamins (B6, B3) increase insulin production and improve glucose metabolism and nerve function. Vitamins E and C reduce glycosylation and increase antioxidant activity. Therefore, a varied and healthy diet is the cornerstone of a balanced metabolism and recovered health. In the case of a proven and significant deficiency, supplementation may be worth considering.
5. BLACK CUMIN SEED OIL
Still called black cumin oil or pharaoh oil, it was already used in Egyptian times. Hippocrates advised her for digestive disorders. A study published in 2017 in the Korea Pharmacopuncture Institute review showed that taking black seed oil (3 g / day) in 72 people with type 2 diabetes had significantly reduced BMI, insulin resistance, and regulate blood pressure. If you are diabetic, it is probably type 2, since 95% of diabetes cases are type 2.
If you are in the small group of type 1 diabetics and your case is autoimmune, this article is also for you, and whatever your health problem is: autoimmune, nutritional, nervous or multifactorial, the most important thing will be that you become aware and aware of what is happening in your body in order to participate actively in your recovery.
