Nature and Prevention

Diabetes is a disease caused by a metabolic alteration due to a decrease in insulin activity, which leads to a high concentration of glucose in the blood. Specifically, diabetes is caused by a reduced availability of insulin or by something that hinders the action of this hormone, or by a combination of the two factors.

The onset of diabetes is one of the first complications of obesity and being obese also means putting your heart, kidneys, circulatory and motor systems at risk, without considering the marked worsening of your quality of life. To underline the growing incidence of this pandemic of our times.

To effectively treat diabetes, you first need a healthy and varied diet , and to practice physical activity regularly . Below we will also illustrate 2 herbs or plants that can help treat diabetes naturally.

Ginseng:

This Chinese herb can slow the absorption of carbohydrates , promote the use of glucose in cells, and increase insulin secretion from the pancreas.

The active ingredients present in ginseng to which this property is attributed are substances called panaxans, which act on glycemia. Ginsenosides also obtain various effects that improve the body's response to the presence of glucose: they reduce glycemia and at the same time increase insulin production.

Turmeric:

Clarifying immediately that no herb or spice can be defined as "curative" and that it should absolutely not be substituted for drugs, we can however affirm that modern science is highlighting results in favor of the positive properties of the substances contained in Turmeric . In particular for the antioxidant called Curcumin .

For diabetics, one action of curcumin that has been highlighted is that of counteracting the toxic effects of certain fats, such as palmitic acid, on pancreatic cells. The chronicity of these toxic effects in a person's life could contribute greatly to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes and there are signs that Curcumin can counteract certain negative effects. A condition common to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that hyperglycemia leads to chronic inflammatory states with the activation of chronic-degenerative processes. Also in this case Curcumin and other antioxidants, such as Hesperidin and Rutin, play a protective role against inflammatory processes".

In general we can see that the greatest help in lowering the regulation of diabetes is physical activity.

Let us remember that plants, spices and flowers can bring great benefits and act as a preventative measure but they cannot replace essential drugs for the treatment of this delicate pathology.
