Ginseng: Canadian researchers found, in three experiments they conducted on animals and humans, that ginseng has a hypoglycemic effect, that is, it helps to reduce blood glucose levels, whether in patients with or without diabetes.
The first study, in which three grams of ginseng or a regular drug was given to nine people with type 2 diabetes, and ten others without the disease, followed by a solution containing 25 grams of glucose sugar by mouth, showed that the group that took the herb experienced a decrease in In blood sugar by 22-28%, compared to the group that took a regular drug.
The researchers noted that ginseng reduced blood sugar among non-diabetics when they consumed it only 40 minutes before the sugar solution, while it succeeded in reducing sugar levels in patients, whether they consumed it with or before the sugar solution.
In the second study, which was based on a comparison of different doses of American ginseng 3, 6 and 9 grams for a group of diabetics, it was found by the researchers that all doses caused the same positive effect in reducing blood sugar levels, and at any time ranging from zero to 120 minutes. Eat it before the sugar solution.
In the third study, which was conducted in the same way as the second study, but on 12 healthy people without diabetes, scientists confirmed that all doses of ginseng succeeded in reducing blood sugar by 11.4%, but it was only effective when given 40 minutes before consuming the sugar solution.
Cinnamon “students”:
Scientists say that a substance extracted from cinnamon may protect against diabetes, which affects adults. Cinnamon, which is commonly used in cooking, may help the body deal with sugary substances more effectively. One of the scientists who conducted the latest research urged people to use cinnamon more often to reap the greatest benefit. from this article.
It is noteworthy that adult-onset diabetes, which is called type-2, is more common than diabetes that appears in children, which depends on the hormone insulin. This disease affects millions of people all over the world, and leads to many early deaths. The disease results from the body's cells not responding to insulin, which is responsible for metabolizing sugars, which leads to an increase in blood sugar.
Increased blood sugar leads to many symptoms, such as feeling tired and losing weight, and leads to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. People with this disease are forced to make major adjustments in their diet and exercise to maintain their health.
Cell reactivation
But scientists from the American Agricultural Research Foundation's nutrition laboratories in the US state of Maryland found that a substance extracted from the cinnamon plant can reactivate cells that have stopped responding to insulin, making them more responsive to the aforementioned hormone.
Researchers have found that cinnamon increases sugar processing by 20 times. As for the substance responsible for this, it is called MHCB, which has been shown in experiments conducted on mice to be effective in lowering blood sugar.
The head of the research team, Richard Andersen, said that clinical trials of this substance will begin within one year, but Andersen said that he advises people to use more cinnamon in their diet.
But a spokeswoman for the charity Diabetes in Britain warned of this, and said it was too early to give such advice. The spokeswoman said that while she welcomes all the research that is being conducted on this topic, it is better to wait. It is reported that other researchers have discovered other benefits of cinnamon, as it has proven effective in treating food poisoning caused by infection with E. coli bacteria.
A handful of nuts every week protects you from diabetes:
According to a new study conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, women who enjoy eating a handful of almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or peanut butter per week are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who rarely eat these foods.
And the American researchers found that the risk of developing diabetes was about 27% lower for women who ate five ounces of nuts each week than those who ate little or no nuts, and indicated that this risk was reduced by 16% for those who ate these foods at a rate of one ounce. to four ounces each week, although there are other factors that increase the odds of disease.
The new study believes that the unsaturated fats found in nuts may improve the body's ability to use the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar, and also supports the results of previous research that showed that eating nuts may be associated with a lower risk of developing heart diseases that are also affected by insulin and blood sugar levels.
Experts advise using nuts rich in fat as alternatives to other foods such as meat and refined grain products, because adding more calories contributes to weight gain, which increases the risk of diabetes and heart injuries.
After following the eating habits of about 84,000 women in the United States, whose ages ranged from 34 to 59 years for a period of 16 years, without diabetes, heart disease or cancer at the beginning of the study, the researchers found that women who ate one-ounce portions of nuts and peanut butter were the least likely to For diabetes, while the risk did not change for those who did not eat these foods, and the risk decreased for those who ate at least five servings.of nuts each week by about 20%, and decreased by about 8% only for those who ate less than one serving per week.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, and it is usually associated with obesity. It appears in adults and the elderly, and causes a number of complications when neglected, such as blindness, amputation of limbs, kidney failure, nerve damage, and heart disease.
It is also possible to use cress, in addition to chemical medicines, to regulate sugar, then use ground fenugreek, organize meals, and gradually withdraw the chemical medicine. Because oral diabetes medications lead to pancreatic indigestion; Which turns a type 2 diabetic patient; i.e. adult sugar to the first type; That is, dependent on insulin from the outside, and to avoid this, it is possible to ration meals, and use cress with fenugreek at a rate of 3 grams before each meal. On the authority of Qais bin Rafi’ Al-Qaisi that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “What is in the two matters of healing: healing and patience?” [Abu Dawud included it in his correspondents and Al-Bayhaqi, and it was transmitted by Al-Suyuti as a symbol for him with weakness (the overflow of the Almighty)]. That the love of Rashad works to increase the effective insulin; Because it contains high amounts of sulfur.
