1. Curry Leaves
Till now you might have been using curry leaves, which we also call sweet neem, only to enhance the taste of sambar and poha. But you will be surprised to know that these green, fragrant leaves are no less than a boon for diabetic patients.
- How does it work?: Hypoglycemic i.e. blood sugar reducing properties are found in curry leaves. It contains abundant fiber which slows down digestion, due to which sugar does not dissolve in the blood immediately. These leaves also improve the activity of insulin in the body, which makes it easier to control sugar.
- How to eat: Every morning after waking up on an empty stomach, pluck 8 to 10 fresh curry leaves, wash them thoroughly and then chew them slowly and eat them.
2. Basil Leaves
Tulsi is not just a plant but is worshiped as a goddess here. Along with its religious importance, countless medicinal properties are also hidden in it. It is beneficial in everything from cold and cough to reducing stress. But one of its big benefits is controlling blood sugar.
- How does it work?: Antioxidants and compounds are found in basil leaves that help pancreatic beta-cells (which produce insulin) function properly. Daily consumption of basil increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- How to eat: Wash and chew 4 to 5 fresh basil leaves every morning. If you want, you can also make tea and drink it.
Important thing: It is very important to note that these natural remedies are not a substitute for your medication. Be sure to consult your doctor before including these in your daily routine and before making any changes in your medication.
These leaves play a helpful role in improving your health, which when combined with a healthy lifestyle and right treatment can do wonders for you.
