In this post, we are publishing revival recipes that can help to fight diabetes.Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It is one of the most common diseases of the endocrine system. According to National Diabetes Statistics Report, 37.3 million people, or 11.3% of the U.S. population, have diabetes. An even worse situation is with prediabetes. 96 million people aged 18 years or older have prediabetes (38.0% of the adult US population). Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the body's organs. Possible long-term effects include damage to large (macrovascular) and small (microvascular) blood vessels, leading to heart attack, stroke, and problems with the kidneys, eyes, gums, feet, and nerves. The good news is that you can reduce the risk of the long-term effects of diabetes by keeping blood glucose levels within the recommended range. Strategies to achieve this may include monitoring blood sugar, limiting the intake of carbohydrates, and maintaining a moderate weight. Using natural medicines and food as medicine can also be an effective way to complement your diabetes treatment.  Here, we are providing information on vegetables, legumes and herbs that were used to treat diabetes for generations, including revival recipes to use them. However, we do not recommend starting any new treatments without consulting your healthcare provider.

Beans are a diabetes superfood

The American Diabetes Association advises people with diabetes to add dried beans or no-sodium canned beans to several weekly meals. Kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans and chickpeas are all great for blood glucose control, as they are very high in fiber and take a long time to digest. On a note, dried beans are a better choice than canned, as they are less expensive and contain less sodium.A study published in the journal JAMATrusted Source found that eating more beans, lentils, and other legumes helped people with type 2 diabetes gain better glycemic control and lower their risk of heart disease. Kidney beans are prone to inhibit α-amylase activity and show resistant properties during digestion and can be categorized as low glycemic index (GI) foods that have been considered as a strategy for type II diabetes patients. 

Crunchy and delightful walnuts could do wonders

The uniqueness of the Walnut plant lies in the fact that almost all components of this tree have healing properties: fruit kernels, fruit partitions, leaves and roots.The advantages of walnut are that the kernels can be eaten during a diet, and the shell jumpers can be used to prepare natural medicine for treating diabetes. Walnuts are known to help build resistance to insulin, control blood glucose levels, and lower the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. They are rich in dietary fiber. Fibers take a long to break down and digest, which ensures a slow release of sugar in the bloodstream. Studies showed that frequent intake of walnuts was associated with a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes in women; the association persisted after adjustment for other lifestyle factors. The findings from this study and others support the benefits of incorporating nuts, including walnuts, as a component of a healthy diet for diabetes prevention. Below, we are publishing a revival recipe for diabetes from walnuts.
