Blood sugar is the main source of energy for our cells. It comes not only from sugar, but also from the other food we consume, mainly carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice or cereals.
The pancreas produces the hormone insulin, which transfers glucose from the blood into the cells, where it is used to produce the aforementioned energy.
How diabetes develops and what it causes in the body
If the body cannot produce enough insulin, or our cells become resistant to insulin, diabetes develops.
It is characterized by sugar not being able to get from the blood into the cells, resulting in our overall weakness (lack of energy) and at the same time a high level of sugar in the blood.
When such a situation occurs, many health problems arise in the body, for example with vision, the kidneys or even nerve damage.
According to conventional medicine, diabetes is divided into:
- type 1, which is irreversible (there has been a destruction of the beta cells producing insulin in the pancreas)
- type 2, which can be improved by changing diet and lifestyle (in it insulin is produced, but the cells are resistant to it)
Today we will show you a recipe for making a juice whose ingredients positively affect the increased sensitivity of cells to insulin. Therefore it is suitable for type 2 diabetes.
Ingredients
To make it you will need these ingredients:
- 2 carrots
- 2 stalks of celery
- 1 green apple
- 3 handfuls of spinach
Preparation method
Follow these steps:
1. First thoroughly wash all the ingredients.
2. Then peel the carrot and cut the apple, carrot and celery stalks into smaller pieces. Remove all the seeds from the apple.
3. Now place all the ingredients into a blender and blend them well. If it is too thick, add a little clean water.
4. That’s all, your drink is ready and prepared for consumption!
Usage
Drink this beverage regularly every day or at least 3 to 4 times a week, in the morning on an empty stomach, before you have breakfast.
The mineral content will thus help you lower your blood sugar level right from the morning and also any high blood pressure.
Use the drink until your health condition improves and your blood sugar level falls to normal.
How does this recipe work?
Spinach is rich in beta-carotene, calcium and vitamin C. According to one Swedish study, spinach contains substances that reduce the need for oxygen during energy production, which is very desirable in diabetes.
In addition, it also has a very low glycemic index and does not cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
Celery is extremely rich in potassium and magnesium, which prevent the development of high blood pressure.
These beneficial minerals also act against various types of inflammation in the body. In addition, consumption of celery prevents heart disease.
Carrot is rich in powerful antioxidants and helps prevent vision problems that often accompany diabetes. It is mainly beta-carotene, which the body transforms into vitamin A.
