Type 2 diabetes is already one of the top five health concerns in the US and health providers classify it as a growing epidemic. It usually shows up in adults and is often linked to poor diet, insufficient exercise, genetics and other factors. With Type 2 diabetes, careful management of food and exercise to control blood sugar help prevent a person from having to go on insulin. However, natural alternatives such as dietary or herbal supplements help give a healthy boost to fight diabetes. Especially for borderline diabetics, the following natural methods are worth exploring to help your body combat the slippery slope into Type 2 diabetes.
Diet and Exercise. Choosing a diet high in non-starchy vegetables and lean protein is the beginning of smart living. Exercising three times a week helps regulate blood sugar. If a gym membership isn’t your thing, then simply get outside and take as brisk a walk as your body can handle, or pop in an exercise DVD and work out in the privacy of your own home.
Cinnamon bark. Skip the Snickerdoodles and take half a teaspoon of cinnamon every day instead. It’ll help regulate your blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, but cooking cinnamon isn’t usually the best quality for medicinal purposes. Instead, check out New Sun’s cinnamon bark capsules. It is the highest quality, to give you the best results possible.
Pancreas Balance. With diabetes, the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to bring blood sugar levels down. Think of it like the alternator in a car engine that no longer charges the battery. The car still runs, but not as well as it should and eventually it won’t start. Pancreas Balance is a product that supports pancreas health, thus is a sort of diabetes preventive supplement.
Chromium Picolinate. There are many factors that are connected to chromium deficiency, including extreme exercise, pregnancy, diabetes and even consuming highly processed foods. It’s considered the “forgotten” mineral. Chromium helps improve the insulin-blood sugar response and reduces cravings, which helps with weight loss. In the form of chromium picolinate, the mineral is absorbed better than as straight chromium. Be careful with this mineral if you have kidney disease.
Although there are many other natural remedies for Type 2 diabetes, these are some of the most popular ones, but you should consult your doctor before beginning an herbal supplement regiment.
