Diabetes Diet:How Lemon and Lemon Water Can Help Cure Diabetes - I started buying fresh
lemons in my bag after I learned how they can help cure diabetes. They are
truly miracles from Nature! I always like fresh lemon, but now I'm trying extra
to eat it. In fact, I believe lemon should be an important staple food in every
diabetes diet.
Lemon Reduces
Other Food Glycemic Indices
Research has shown that lemon lowers the glycemic
index of any food added to it. And ... we don't speak a few points here. The
decline is very significant! To get the benefits of this, all you have to do is
add a little fresh lemon juice over your food. It's almost like waving a magic
wand, this will immediately reduce the glycemic index of your food. Best of
all, lemon is an excellent flavor enhancer, it makes a lot of food taste better
too.
I often add fresh lemon juice to a bowl of hot soup
(yum!), Casserole, goulash on the stove, almost all kinds of salads (including
salads containing fruit), and sauteed vegetables (especially vegetables!).
Anything with chicken or fish of course tastes very good with lemon. Please
note that it is best to add fresh lemon just before you eat food. If you cook
it with soup, for example, it can be a little bitter and the health benefits
will not be this big.
Provide one
glass of fresh Lemon Water every morning
A glass of lemon water is the perfect way for
diabetics to start the day. Most people start their day with coffee (very
acidic) and foods that shift the body's pH to the acid side. However, if you
shift the pH back to the base side, you will see your blood sugar going down.
In addition, your cell membrane will become more
sensitive to insulin - that is, you will LESS insulin resistance. In fact, this
will help your body repair the damaged cells.
Although lemons contain weak acids, when they are
metabolized by their bodies they have an alkaline effect. If in fact, they are
the strongest alkaline food you can eat! This is why adding lemon to your diet
can help restore your body's pH to the alkaline side it should.
It has been found that most diabetics have a very
acidic body pH (like cancer patients). Bringing it back to the alkaline side
will help cure your diabetes.
Making lemon water is very easy. Simply squeeze the
juice from half a lemon (or a full lemon if you are a bigger person) into a
glass of water, stir a little, and drink it. Do this first thing in the morning
on an empty stomach before you drink coffee or breakfast.
Lemon has TWO
TIMES of Vitamin C as Orange
This is a fact that surprised me because you have
always heard that orange juice is very rich in vitamin C. Yes, orange orange
cousins beat it with twice the vitamin C. Most people don't realize, but
vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant. . It is important to note that
vitamins taken in food form are far better absorbed by the body than vitamin C
taken in pill form!
Vitamin C is at least part of the reason the lemon
interacts with the cell membrane and makes it less insulin resistant. However,
vitamin C also has other benefits that are very important for diabetics. For
example, it increases collagen production which strengthens blood vessels. This
is key because many diabetics have problems with circulation and arterial
damage.
Helps In
Improving Digestion
Most diabetics have a disorder of digestive enzymes
and reduce acidity in the stomach. This means that they do not always reap the
full benefits of the nutritious food they eat. Lemon can also cure this
problem.
