Moringa - The Natural cure for Diabetes
Diabetic mellitus
is a syndrome characterized by disordered metabolism and abnormally
high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) resulting from insufficient levels of
the hormone insulin.
The
characteristic symptoms polyuria, polydipsia, glucoseuria, unexplained
weight loss, and lethargy. There are two types of diabetes, diabetes I
and diabetics II.
Diabetes I may
also known as Insulin dependent diabetes where insulin therapy is
needed as the beta cells cant synthesis insulin. Diabetes II may refer
to as Insulin non dependent diabetics as insulin is produced by the
body but in lower amount or it becomes insensitive to act on glucose.
It is possible for us to treat diabetes II through proper dieting,
medication and regular exercise. The food which is ingested is
converted to glucose for the cell function.
Glucose
cannot enter the cells alone. It needs assistance from insulin in
order to penetrate the cell walls. Insulin therefore acts as a
regulator of glucose metabolism in the body. If insulin is lacking or
it becomes insensitive it will lead to diabetes.
Untreated
diabetes will lead to complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy,
nephropathy, cardiovascular problems etc. Most of the people suffering
from diabetes were unaware of the disease, when they recognized the
disorder it becomes more complicated. A great way to get all of the
important nutrients you need is to eat a diet high in raw fruits and
vegetables, or to supplement the gaps in your diet with products that
contain all of the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs to
function properly.
The
nutritional density and diversity of Moringa has deemed it the "Miracle
Tree" or nature’s most nutritious food. The nutrients in this miracle
from nature have been reported to treat over 300 different diseases and
disorders of the body.
Moringa
leaves have 4 times more Beta-Carotene than that of carrots, 17 times
more calcium than that of milk and 25 times more iron than that of
Spinach. Moringa Leaves and pods contain 90+ nutrients and 46
antioxidants.
Moringa leaves have
more antioxidants than the green leaves. Moringa contains all the
essential nutrients needed for the biochemical reaction to perform
regularly. Researchers in London recently reported that vitamin D is
essential for the islet cells in the pancreas to be able to secrete
insulin properly.
The studies
have shown that individuals with the lowest vitamin D levels
experienced the worst blood sugar-handling problems and had a greater
risk of developing diabetes. Moringa as a rich source of ascorbic acid
helps in insulin secretion. It is interesting to note that certain
nutrients like vitamins B1, B2, B12, pantothenic acid, vitamin C,
protein and potassium - along with small frequent meals containing some
carbohydrate - can actually stimulate production of insulin within the
body. Vitamin A as an antioxidant helps convert beta-carotene
efficiently, which reduces the risk of blindness in diabetics. Vitamin B
12 supplementation has been used successfully to treat diabetic
neuropathy. High dose supplements of vitamin C have been shown to
prevent sorbitol accumulation and glycosylation of proteins, both of
which are important factors in the development of diabetic
complications such as cataracts. Studies have shown that a low vitamin-E
concentration was associated with a 3.9 times greater risk of
developing diabetes. Vitamin E reduces oxidative stress, thus improving
membrane physical characteristics and related activities in glucose
transport.
This antioxidant
promotes healing of diabetes-related lesions. Magnesium helps in the
metabolism of glycogen, Mg works closely with vitamin B 6 to help the
metabolic process with in the cell. Moringa all these nutrient and
helps the diabetic patient to control their blood glucose level.
