Today we will be having a look at another miracle of nature when it comes to the treatment of diabetes. This time we are having a deeper look into diabetic treatment properties of Ginger. But firstly just a little bit of insight on type 1 & 2 diabetes that everyone should know:

When the human body no longer responds to insulin; the hormone regulating the bodys blood sugar then the state of type 2 diabetes occurs.
Type 1 diabetics is when the body fails to produce the sufficient amount of insulin needed for the body to regulate blood sugar.

Ginger

• this is based on studies done by Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Iran and published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition done on patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as a study done by University of Sydney in 2012.

The tests achieved:

** Proven to increase insulin sensitivity
** Significantly lower levels of insulin
** Lower levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides
** Reduced secondary complications of type 2 diabetes
** Increased sugar uptake within the bodys cells
** Aided absorption of glucose
** Cells operated independently of insulin

The reason for this is attributed to its contents of phenols that is known as gingerols.
Gingerols act by increasing a protein called GLUT4, this protein in turn stimulates the skeletal muscles to absorb glucose freely.

There are also various other pro's for the Diabetes suffers regarding ginger such as:

• Reduced inflammation caused by diabetes
• Inhibited the action of the enzymes a-glucosidase and a-amylase, a great contributing factor to diabetes
• Stimulated the serotonin receptors
• Protects the body against developing metabolic syndrome
  

The phenomenal healing qualities of ginger however is not only limited to diabetes.

So, do yourself a favour by adding ginger to your daily diet!
