Alternative Therapy For Diabetes

Holistic Medicine and Healing

Certain foods provide alternative therapy for diabetes.

An estimated seven percent of the U.S. population has diabetes, which in recent years has been linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, due to insulin resistance in the brain.

While there's no cure for diabetes yet, doctors say maintaining a proper diet is one key to controlling the condition.

Add these tasty treatments for natural therapy.

Alternative Diet Therapy

There are alternative medicine benefits in the foods that we eat.

For alternative diet therapy, add these sugar-stompers to your shopping list:

Tea: Chemicals known as polyphenols found in black, green, and oolong teas boost insulin activity

Cinnamon: Less than half a teaspoon daily increases sugar metabolism in fat cells

Buckwheat: Traditionally used to make soba noodles, buckwheat contains chemical compounds that reduce blood sugar levels

Cherries: Contain chemicals called anthocyanins that increase insulin production

Guava: Extracts from apple guavas lower blood-sugar levels

Cocoa: Decreases insulin resistance

Better Holistic Medicine

Taking advantage of natural compounds in foods is an alternative to prescription drugs, says Richard A. Anderson, lead scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, M.D.

"We shouldn't be relying on drugs if we can alleviate or preventdiabetes simply by changing our eating habits."

Fruit juice also can be a rich source of antioxidants, but no one juice is better than another.

Even if the label reads "Grape Juice" in big letters, the product may contain precious little grape. If you look at the fine print,you might find wording such as "Contains a mixture of juice." On closer inspection, you might discover that the product contains 10 percent corn syrup.

Food plays a large part in alternative therapy for diabetes as does losing weight and getting daily exercise.
