Ayurvedic Diet Plans for Diabetes Management

Diabetes is a chronic disease where our pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin in the body. Insulin has the all-important job of regulating blood sugar levels in the body. Any trouble with this process can shoot up your blood glucose levels rapidly. Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes ensures that the core causes of your disease are addressed effectively so that you get long-lasting relief from this disease.

Diabetes: A Brief Overview

When there is a high concentration of sugar in our blood, it causes various health complications. A deficiency of insulin or our body’s inability to effectively use insulin can also shoot up the sugar levels in the blood. Insulin resistance, autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, pancreatic damage, and genetic mutations are some of the major causes of diabetes. If not treated properly, diabetes can lead to cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, strokes, neuropathy, sexual dysfunctions, etc.

Type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, prediabetes, gestational diabetes, type 3c diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), neonatal diabetes, and brittle diabetes are the major types of diabetes.

Ayurvedic Diet Plans for Diabetes

A diet that discourages a spike in blood sugar is ideal for diabetics. Ayurveda lists foods that help control blood sugar levels in the body. Below are some of the foods that are often recommended to diabetics:

• Healthy carbohydrates: Your diet should have a higher proportion of healthy carbs. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, such as beans and peas, and low-fat dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are some of the foods that are rich in healthy carbs.
• Fiber-rich foods: Dietary fiber has been linked with moderating blood sugar levels in the body. Vegetables, whole fruits, nuts, legumes, such as beans and peas, whole grains, etc., have a high concentration of fiber. Make sure to add these foods to your daily diet.
• Good fats: Foods that are rich in good fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can keep a check on cholesterol levels in the body. Avocados, nuts, canola, olive, and peanut oils are quite rich in good fats. However, these foods are also rich in calories. Try to consume them in moderation.

Foods to avoid:

• Sugar: This goes without saying. Sugar-rich foods are a huge ‘no’ to diabetics.
• Saturated fats: High-fat dairy products and animal-based proteins like butter, hot dogs, sausage, and bacon are high in saturated fats. Consume them in moderation.
• Trans fats: Trans and saturated fats are unhealthy for your heart. Processed snacks, baked goods, etc. are quite rich in trans fats; avoid them.
• The consumption of high-fat dairy products and high-fat animal proteins, such as egg yolks, liver, red meat, etc., should be limited. These foods increase cholesterol levels.
• Sodium: Consuming foods rich in sodium increases your blood pressure and complicates your diabetes symptoms further. Keep a check on processed and frozen foods.
• Alcohol: If possible, avoid alcohol altogether. Alcohol damages the liver and has a damaging effect on your heart too.
