This Guide Will Help You Detect Diabetes Before it Happens

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent new epidemics in the world, and one of the fastest-growing diseases. One of the main reasons for this is the unhealthy lifestyle and habits that are formed by modern living. 

 

It is of immense importance that everyone is aware of the signs of type II diabetes because the best way to avoid the disease is to make early detection and engage in actions that will prevent diabetes from developing. 

 

The general term for these signs is 'pre-diabetes'. The blood sugar levels are not yet on a full-blown diabetes level, and can still be reversed. 

 

So first, know the symptoms: 

* Feeling thirsty even after drinking a lot 

 

* Feeling weak even after resting for a sufficient amount of hours. 

 

* Urinating more frequently, especially at night. 

 

* Gaining weight despite no change in diet and even with exercising. 

 

* Feeling hungry again minutes after eating. 

 

* Skin infections take a very long time to heal. 

 

* Blurred night vision. young woman yawning on white background

Tests that help in early detection: 

If you recognize in yourself two or more of these symptoms, then it is crucial that you get yourself tested to see if you are indeed on the path to diabetes. There are basically 2 tests you can take: 

 

1. Fasting Plasma Glucose Test: 

 

This test requires you to fast for about 8-10 hours. It would be best to give your blood sample in the early morning before breakfast. This test checks how well your body maintains glucose levels and interacts with it. If your results show that your blood glucose levels are between 100-125 ml/dl, then you are either pre-diabetic or already suffering from early diabetes. If the blood sugar levels are less than 100 ml/dl, then you are safe from the disease.

2. Oral Glucose Test 

Two hours after your breakfast or lunch, the lab technician will take a blood sample. If the test results show your blood sugar level between 140-199 ml/dl, then you are pre-diabetic. If it is less than 140 - you are free from it. 

 

Don't panic if your test results reveal that you are a pre-diabetic, there are still ways to reverse the process. 

 

How to Reverse the Symptoms of Diabetes: 

Many will suggest you start taking medication to solve your pre-diabetes problem. While these medications will lower your blood sugar levels, they are not a long-term solution. A long-term reversal of the symptoms requires: 

 

1. Daily exercise: 

If you have pre-diabetic symptoms, it's crucial that you start exercising every day. This will help your muscles become less dependent on insulin and will help maintain your blood sugar level. Put aside 30-45 minutes a day for exercise.

2. Watch your carb consumption.  

To reverse the symptoms, cut down on your simple carbs, as the body will break them down to fats and energy that will be converted to fat. You need complex carbs like multi-grain bread, wheat bread, brown pasta, brown rice, and boiled potatoes. Exclude white bread, candy, chocolate, pasta, rice, cookies, and cakes from your daily consumption. 

 

3. Drink LOTS of water. 

I can't stress this enough - stay hydrated. You need to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day to wash the toxins from your body through urination.

 

4. Change to a high fiber diet 

Fiber doesn't only bring down your blood sugar levels but will also help you lose weight. A high fiber diet with plenty of water will make you feel full without raising your blood sugar levels. Legumes, raw fruit, and vegetables have a high amount of fiber in them. 

 

5. Don't Let Stress Get to You. 

This may be the hardest one. You must avoid high-stress levels if you wish to reverse your diabetes symptoms. Practice yoga, try meditating and get plenty of sleep.

These are the natural ways to fight early diabetes and have no side effects. So make sure you stick to a healthy diet, daily exercise and watch what you eat to keep diabetes away.

Reverse Fatty Liver Disease With Your Diet

Fatty liver disease, as the Cleveland clinic defines it, is a condition caused by the storage of extra fat in the liver. It’s usually seen in people who are overweight or obese, but most people have no symptoms. In some cases though, it can lead to liver damage. But the good news is that it’s easily reversible or even preventable through lifestyle and diet changes. We will be reviewing some of the steps you can take today. 

 

What does a liver do?

But before we begin let’s see, what does the liver do?  The liver has many different functions. First, it produces bile, which is a substance that breaks down fat into nutrients like omega fatty acids. The liver also makes proteins and glucose from fat and protein. It stores all kinds of nutrients and helps you detoxify your body. 

 

WebMD lays down some ground rules for which foods would help you reach a healthy weight and a healthy liver: “In general, foods that fight cell damage, make it easier for your body to use insulin, or lower inflammation.“ But what does all of this mean? Let’s break it down.

The good fat and bad fat

There is the fat you should consume and there is that you should avoid. In general, you do not need to consume any sugar, because your body can synthesize its own. And sugar, rather than fat, is what makes you gain weight in the long run. 

 

Consuming too much sugar can ultimately lead to a condition called insulin resistance, which most people with fatty liver disease suffer from. Insulin resistance is a condition in which your body produces too much insulin (which is responsible for the proper absorption of sugar into the cells) but can’t quite use it well. Instead, sugar builds up in your blood, rather than working into the cells, and your liver turns it into fat. 

 

But there are fats that can help the body use insulin better. These are omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats, found in:

- Fish

- Nuts (especially cc and walnuts) 

- Flaxseed 

- Leafy greens

- Olives 

- Avocados.

Many of these food staples are found in the Mediterranean diet. Consider giving it a go. If you’re looking for a massive change in your diet you could also consider taking on intermittent fasting and a ketogenic diet. Here's a guide.

On the other hand, there are fats you should avoid, which are called saturated fats. These lead to more and more buildup in your liver, and will usually be found in: 

- Red meat 

- Palm and Coconut oil 

- Everything and anything with sugar 

- Full fat cheese 

 

You may also want to consume less yogurt and poultry, unless it’s lean white meat. 

 

Antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals

In addition to antioxidants, WebMD also recommends adding potassium to your diet. These foods are good sources: 

- Codfish 

- Salmon 

- Sardines 

- Broccoli 

- Peas 

- Bananas 

- Kiwi 

- Apricots. 

 

Dr. Eric Berg recommends vitamin D as well for fatty liver disease. While you can consume it in supplement form, the best way to get vitamin D is limited and controlled exposure to the sun. Lay flat in the sun with as little clothing as possible, for no longer than 20 minutes a day, with no sunblock. 

 

Eating fiber can also help with insulin resistance. If you’re looking for natural supplements, consider curcumin and resveratrol, vitamins A and E, and choline. When choosing a vitamin E supplement, go for those containing tocopherols and tocotrienols- these are the best natural forms.

 

Cruciferous vegetables such as: 

- Arugula 

- Broccoli 

- Brussels sprouts 

- Cabbage 

- Radish 

- Swiss chard all have high fiber content, and low carbs. 

 

Garlic and onion also help remove fat from your liver. As far as drinks go, 1 cup of coffee a day could help strip your liver of excess fats, as well as green and black tea. 

 

Lifestyle changes

Changing your diet isn’t enough. This is only one part of your healing journey, which will consist of several lifestyle changes. 

 

Limit your alcohol consumption to once a month, or not at all. 

 

Lose weight. If you have a belly, you probably have a fatty liver. 

 

According to WebMD, even dropping just 5% of your body weight could lower the fat in your liver. Practicing intermittent fasting and a well-balanced ketogenic diet could help tremendously with that. 

 

Start exercising. Any and every kind of exercise will be good and beneficial for us at a later. But high intensity workouts could even help with scar tissue (cirrhosis).
