7 home remedies for diabetes

7 home remedies for diabetes

 I will not go into details explaining what this plague of a disease is. I want to point you to few home remedies for diabetes, that you may be unaware of:

1. Rose Geranium (Pelargonium roseum)

Healing part of the plant is the leaf mass, gathered when the Pelargonium blossoms actively. This herb not only lowers blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus but also lowers blood pressure and helps blood coagulation. This is awesome for diabetes mellitus, because sometimes the sufferers of this disease have wounds opening on their feet and skin ruptures.
You need to know that Pelargonium lowers VERY quick the blood glucose and need not to be overdosed, because it can lead to hypoglycaemia. Too low sugar may lead to comma.

Pick up some produce along with your patch. Eating more fruits and vegetables could help you quit smoking and stay tobacco-free for longer, finds a new study from the University at Buffalo.
Smokers who consumed the most fruits and vegetables over a 14-month period were three times more likely to have ditched their nicotine fix for at least 30 days than those who didn’t eat as much produce. Participants in the first group also smoked fewer cigarettes per day and waited longer to have their first cigarette of the day, which are both signs they were doing better and resisting the habit.Click To Read More

 Nicotine is as addictive as heroin, so quitting smoking is probably the hardest thing you will ever have to do. To fill the craving, many people eat. Eating gives you something to put in your mouth instead of a cigarette, and it temporarily satisfies a desire. Due to this desire, many people who quit smoking gain weight, and smokers often refuse to quit because they fear weight gain. However, eating certain foods can help you quit and stay thin.

Most people who smoke really wish that they wouldn't. They are well aware of the hazards of smoking and many among them really want to quit. Many of them try quitting, few are successful but a lot of them fail miserably and go back to their old habits.

How the right food can help you give up smoking

How the right food can help you give up smoking

I was the only one of eight women who didn't light up as we waited for a train last night in Paris, which rather surprised me.
That having been said, the statistics show that more and more women, including a worryingly large proportion of young girls, are now regular smokers: 26 per cent of schoolgirls and 29 per cent of 16 to 19-year-old women, the same figure as for 35 to 49-year-olds.
It appears that girls regard smoking as a diet aid, giving hardly a thought to its harmful side effects.
Yet when she's older, virtually every female smoker's habit is reflected in her appearance, the tell-tale signs being grey and wrinkled skin, nicotine-stained teeth, lack-lustre hair and tired-looking eyes.

 Quitting smoking tops the New Year’s resolution list every year.

And most people try patches, gum, prescription medicine or even apps to help them kick the habit.
But, believe it or not, changing your diet can help, too.
“There’s a Duke University study (that) shows certain foods like dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and water can worsen the taste of cigarettes,” said registered dietitian and nutritionist Patricia Bannan, based in Los Angeles.
Including foods like cheese, milk and yogurt into your diet may make it easier to stop smoking.

Munching on beautifying fruits and vegetables can help you kick this bad habit.


 When you think of the most unbeautiful thing you can do for your body, what do you imagine? For me, it’s smoking. We’ve known for years that cigarettes decrease our lifespan, increase our risk for cancer and respiratory conditions and make our skin wrinkled and dull looking. In essence, they age us. If I were to put cigarettes on a spectrum of aging, I’d have cigarettes on one end and fruits and vegetables on another.

 A new study in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research looked at fruit and vegetables consumption in relation to quitting smoking and found that eating healthy produce helped with not only quitting smoking but staying smoke-free as well.Click To Read More
