Diabetes Can be Prevented by Ayurveda Treatment

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is considered to be a group of metabolic disorder featured by high level blood sugar or hyperglycemia. It takes place due to disordering insulin secretion in the pancreas. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are classified. Insulin dependent or non dependent are another type of classification. Generally diabetes is the output of a derailed metabolism of the body. 

According to modern medicine and ayurveda it is the disorder of the digestive system. According to the common theory, the carbo hydrate breaks down to glucose in the digestive tract and enters the blood stream. Glucose is the source of energy. The body observes glucose from the blood with the help of insulin. The insulin acts like a master key that opens passage for the glucose to get absorbed by the body. The insulin is secreted from the beta cells of the pancreas. Lack of insulin in the blood circulation prevents absorption of glucose by the body. That enhances the blood glucose level. This is called hyperglycemia or high blood sugar or diabetes.

In hyperglycemia the glucose is stored in the blood circulation instead of getting absorbed by the cells. Due to low concentration of glucose inside the cells there is low concentration of energy too. That makes the patients physically weak. In a healthy person when somebody takes food the pancreas gets triggered to secret insulin. That insulin helps introducing blood glucose into the human body cell. It gives a good health and good energy. 

Ayurveda concept of diabetes

According to ayurveda, diabetes or Madhumeha comes under the group of prameha. All the three doshes Vata, Pitta and kapha are involved in the pathogenesis of prameha. According to ayurveda diabetes takes place due to very low density kapha and meda dhatu. It may be compared with very low density lipid (VLDL). The type one diabetes can be compared with madhumeha with dhatu ksya. Type two diabetes can be compared with abarana janya madhumeha.

Ayurveda says that diabetes is caused due to high calorie diet like sweets, new rice, wine, ghee, no work, day sleep, stress etc.

Ayurveda suggests some guidelines that will helps preventing ayurveda even following that guideline will help preventing complication of diabetes and keeping a diabetes patient physically and mentally fit.

Follow the Dina Charya

Dina charya teaches us to get up early in the morning after the food taken in the previous evening gets digested that means the last dinner should have been very light so that it could get digested till the morning.

After getting up from bed somebody should go for eye flushing with water, defecation, brushing the teeth, ayurveda oil massage, exercise, ayurvedic bath followed by a breakfast depending upon the season. 

Ayurveda suggests professions and professional ethics, sociability, humanity are the different way to keep mind blissful. A blissful mind secrets happy hormone that helps pancreas secret insulin in a controlled way. 

Three times food

Three times food in day is good to lead a domestic life. In Ayurveda it is told that all the diseases take place due to disturbance in the digestive system. The stomach gets upset if it is disturbed frequently. The stomach gets disturbed if we take food or drink (excluding natural water) frequently. Whenever a food or drink enters the digestive system, the pancreas gets triggered to secret insulin. The frequent trigger to the pancreas leads to its dysfunction that leads to non secretion of insulin. That lack of insulin in the blood leads to diabetes that is why food, three times a day, everyday at the same time can keep diabetes away.

Active round the day

A healthy person or a diabetes patient must maintain an active life style round the day. It is observed, many people work hard in the park or the gym during the morning. After that either they sit long on a chair or lay on the bed during the day time. Here the  benefits for diabetes management is very much limited. An active life style on regular basis will give a clear idea about the calorie input and output ratio. It makes easy for the patient and doctor to fix a dose of food and medicine. 

A Balanced Dish

Old boiled rice, husk flour from old wheat in a very little amount will be helpful in a diet. The rest of the diet should be compensated with roughage and fibre and a little bit vegetable protein. Dalma is a very popular dish in Odisha, the east coast of India. It contains a little bit green gram, water, Salt, some digestive spice and numbers of green vegetables. I believe this is the best dish in the world for a diabetes patient. 

Early to Bed

After we sleep down the metabolism inside the body gets slow down. That creates a number of metabolism disorder especially diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia or high blood sugar. That is why the dinner should be around 7 p.m followed by a sleep after two hours. 

Diabetes ayurvedic treatment is time tasted solution for diabetes patient, their disease and diabetes complication.
