AHI HEALTH TIP FOR FEBRUARY 2015

DIABETES ?

FACT : Did you know " If you rely only on the health-care system to manage your diabetes, you will fail. You need to be empowered ; you need to be empowered ; you need to take charge of your own diabetes health "  READ ON AND DECIDE ISN'T WORTH TO TAKE CHARGE?  

Diabetes is one of the major chronic diseases in modern society. Nine out of ten cases are type 2 diabetes which develops primarily in adults over 40’s and is strongly associated with obesity. Type 1 diabetes typically appears in young people under 30. 

What causes diabetes?

• The dynamic of pancreas produces sufficient insulin to neutralize excess blood sugar.  However, after years of excessive consumption of refined sugar, fruit, dairy, chemicals and other highly yin substances, the islet cells in the pancreas become expanded and lose their ability to secrete insulin. Sugar begins to appear in the urine, the body loses water, and reserve minerals are depleted. The overproduction of insulin attracts fatty acids and may coagulate into tumors in the bile duct or the islets of Langerhans.

• Anti-oxidants such as alpha lipoic acid – helps control blood sugar levels, and helps reduce the damage caused by the sugar binding to the nerves
• B-vitamins – helps reduces stress levels and thusly prevents the body from producing more glucose to help deal those stressors.
• Cinnamon – 1 tsp of cinnamon in warm water has the ability to maintain your sugar levels at consistent level
• Bitter melon has also been shown to help with regulated sugar levels
• Chromium – improves the insulin’s efficiency

Ways Massage Can Be a Wonderful Complement to Diabetes Management 

1. Relaxation & Stress Management
   The stress reducing and relaxation response that massage therapy provide can have a profound effect on preventing blood sugar surges.
   Massage can also give a psychological boost to someone who is living with diabetes and striving to balance all factors involved in maintaining
   a healthy lifestyle.
2. Circulation
   Massage increases the circulation of the blood and lymph, facilitating the transport of 02 and nutrients throughout the body. Improved circulation,
   in turn, improves the cell's insulin uptake.
3. Tissue Flexibility
   Massage therapy can significantly help with the increase of mobility, elasticity, and reversing the thickening effect on connective tissue from uncontrolled
   glucose levels.

Acupuncture can assist in lowering glucose levels and improve peripheral neuropathy, minimize nerve pain and facilitate faster healing. Adults who develop diabetes later in life typically have a pattern of long-standing heat in the Stomach coupled with Spleen deficiency. The heat may come from over-eating hot, spicy, greasy, fatty rich foods or alcohol or from depressive heat of the Liver affecting the Stomach; this causes a large appetite and rapid hungering after meals. The Spleen deficiency may be due to over-eating sugars and sweets or fatty, rich food, as well. It could also be from over thinking, too little exercise, or over taxation of the body. Spleen deficiency allows for the accumulation of dampness in the body causing obesity. Long-standing Spleen deficiency also accounts for the emaciation and muscular atrophy later in the progression of the disease.

Chinese herbs have been used safely to treat many symptoms and are effective in the right body at the right time. There are several traditional formulas that help metabolize and utilize glucose effectively. Chinese formulas are generally 10-12 herbs in total and will have several purposes to assist the internal climate of the body.

In TCM specific foods are thought to create transformational healing and facilitate harmony amongst the body meridians. Understanding how and which of these foods relate to diabetes is also a functional treatment for it
