Ways to avoid diabetes

Diabetes is a dangerous silent killer disease for which there is no permanent cure. This means that once a person has this disease, he has to control it to live a healthy life. In diabetes, the sugar level starts increasing due to which gradually many organs start getting damaged. To control diabetes, it is most important to take care of lifestyle and food habits. Of course, there is no cure for diabetes, but Maharishi Charak has described diabetes as a serious but controllable disease in his Ayurvedic works. He has advised to control it through lifestyle, food habits and medicine.

Control your eating and drinking

Foods with Tikta (bitter), Kashaya (astringent) and Katu (pungent) juices are beneficial in diabetes. Include wheat, barley, gram, green gram, bitter gourd, neem leaves, berries, etc. in the diet. Take honey in small quantities with lukewarm water. Avoid oily, sweet, and heavy food.

Physical activity is also important

Maharishi Charak has said that exercise is essential in the treatment of diabetes. Do light physical activity daily. Maintaining a regular routine like sleeping and waking up on time keeps the body's agni (digestive power) balanced. Apart from this, stay away from mental stress, get mental peace through meditation and yoga.

Jamun and fenugreek seeds are also effective medicines

The powder of jamun seeds is considered effective in diabetes. Take 1-2 grams every morning on an empty stomach with lukewarm water. Fenugreek seeds are also effective. Soak them overnight and consume them with water in the morning.

Bitter gourd juice in diabetes

Juice of bitter gourd and neem leaves is considered effective in diabetes. On the advice of the doctor, you can take 10-20 ml of bitter gourd juice every morning on an empty stomach. Apart from this, you can also take juice of neem leaves.

Panchakarma treatment

Charaka Samhita mentions Panchakarma treatments like Basti (medicated enema) and Vaman (therapeutic vomiting) for diabetes. These balance agni (metabolism) by removing toxins from the body.

Take care of small things

Make it a habit to take a walk after meals. Do not sleep during the day, especially diabetic patients. Apart from this, take swedana (bath or steam bath) regularly. All these remedies are from the Ayurvedic point of view and may vary according to the nature (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) of the individual. Before adopting any remedy, definitely consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or doctor.
