Home Remedies for Treating Diabetes: The Power of Tea and Natural Foods

Every day a cup of tea can help reduce your risk of diabetes, don't doubt it. Diabetes, as we all know, is a chronic disease that is closely related to diet. People need to control their blood sugar through diet. So what are some home remedies for treating diabetes?

【Home Remedies for Treating Diabetes】

1. A cup of tea every day:

Tea and coffee contain caffeine, which can boost metabolism and help the body's antioxidant capacity, aiding in the absorption of sugar by cells.

2. Pumpkin:

Eating pumpkin regularly can help with weight loss and lower blood sugar. Medicinal pumpkin powder has been produced in China. Pumpkin can also be eaten as a meal. Eating 250 grams of cooked pumpkin in the morning and evening can help stabilize blood sugar.

Eating pumpkin regularly can help with weight loss and lower blood sugar.

3. Five bean soup:

Green beans, red beans, black beans, yellow beans, and mung beans, all in equal amounts (15 grams each). Boil the beans in water and drink the soup. Take once a day.

4. Mushrooms:

Mushroom cultivation has the effect of lowering blood sugar, so mushrooms are often used in cooking or boiled into juice for consumption, which can help improve symptoms of diabetes.

5. Steamed carp with green tea:

100 grams of green tea. Clean the carp and stuff it with green tea. Place it in a bowl, steam it without adding salt, and eat it once a day. Suitable for all types of diabetes patients.

【Pay Attention to Long-Term Hyperglycemia】

Due to prolonged hyperglycemia in diabetes patients, blood viscosity increases. Excessive blood sugar can cause blood vessels to become harder, more brittle, and thicker, reducing their ability to deform and supply blood adequately.

On the other hand, increased blood viscosity can also lead to vascular inflammation. These factors can cause blood clot formation, leading to blockage of blood vessels and severe lack of blood supply, resulting in organ malnutrition and poor metabolism.

If body tissues and organs are in this state for a long time, it can easily lead to organ necrosis. Since the feet are far from the heart, vascular occlusion is relatively more severe, which can easily result in swelling, darkening, rotting, and necrosis of the feet, leading to foot necrosis.

【Foods Diabetic Patients Should Avoid】

1. Avoid foods that can increase blood sugar:

White sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, glucose, maltose, honey, chocolate, milk candy, fruit sugar, preserved fruits, canned fruits, soda, fruit juice, sweet drinks, jams, ice cream, sweet biscuits, cakes, and sugar-based pastries, etc.

2. Avoid alcohol:

Alcohol contains only heat energy and no other nutrients. Each gram of alcohol produces about 7 kilocalories (29.4 kilojoules) of heat. Long-term drinking is harmful to the liver and can also cause an increase in serum triglycerides.

3. Diabetic patients should be cautious about consuming honey:

Honey contains about 85% sugars, of which about 45% is glucose that can be directly absorbed without digestion, and about 5% is easily digestible sucrose.

After consuming honey, the absorption of these sugars is fast and concentrated, leading to greater fluctuations in blood sugar.

If blood sugar and urine sugar are not well controlled, consuming honey will only further increase blood sugar and will not benefit the treatment of the disease.
