Understanding Diabetes: A Lifestyle Disorder
Not Hereditary
Diabetes is NOT a hereditary condition. It is a Disease of Habits, resulting from Wrong Lifestyle Habits developed over time.
Affecting Young People
Young people today are affected by Inactivity, Junk Food and Internet Addiction very early in life, leading to diabetes at younger ages.
Gradual Development
It takes years to weaken our Natural Glucose Absorption Function and get to Insulin Resistance or High Diabetes stage.
What is Diabetes: The Car Analogy
Understanding diabetes is easier when we compare it to something familiar like a car's fuel system:
The Car Engine Analogy
Your car's engine needs fuel (petrol or diesel), but if the fuel leaks everywhere else and hardly reaches the engine, the car becomes sluggish, slow and corrosive.
A mechanic fixes this by managing the leakage so that the flow of petrol reaches the engine, ensuring a smooth drive.
The Human Body's Process
Similarly, our body needs a key called Insulin to drive the Energy (Glucose) created through the food we eat.
When there's an imbalance, glucose isn't unlocked by Insulin, causing excess glucose to leak around the body, making it slow, sluggish and vulnerable to inflammations.
Factors for Optimal Functioning
The tyres need to have balanced inflation of air
Just as a car needs properly inflated tires for smooth operation.
The driver needs to drive efficiently
Similar to how we need to manage our lifestyle choices.
The roads need to be smooth
Representing a balanced environment for our body systems.
The engine needs to be well maintained
Like our body's metabolic systems requiring proper care.
The quality of the petrol needs to be of prime quality
Comparable to the nutritional quality of our food.
The Fuelling station needs to ensure good quality tested fuel
Similar to ensuring we have access to proper nutrition sources.
Body's Optimal Functioning Requirements
Balanced Lifestyle
Digestion, sleep and activity in harmony
Adequate Food Quantity
Eating the right amount
Healthy Food Quality
Nutritious and wholesome
To have an Optimally functioning body we have to keep in mind that the quality of food we eat is healthy and Nutritious, the Quantity of food we eat is adequate, and our lifestyle is Balanced in lines of digestion, sleep and activity. When there's an imbalance, the fuel of the body which is glucose isn't unlocked by its Key which is Insulin, causing excess glucose to leak around the body.
The Spread of Diabetes
Intestines
Excess glucose damages digestive function
Kidneys
Filtering systems become compromised
Lungs
Respiratory function can be affected
Heart
Cardiovascular health deteriorates
Sleep & Digestion
Overall bodily functions become disrupted
With Diabetes we start attracting other inflammations. In our schools we were taught "where is air" and the answer was "Air is everywhere." Similarly within our body "Blood is almost everywhere" and if the blood is carrying excess glucose or sugar then it will slowly damage the Intestines, the kidneys, the lungs, the heart, digestion and sleep because that's not the place that glucose needs to be in. It's almost like a stranger in a wrong place.
Understanding Nutrition and Glucose
Brain Requires Glucose
Our brains require a lot of attention and acknowledgement which requires a lot of glucose
Carbohydrates Create Glucose
Glucose is created by the food Nutrition type called carbohydrates
Higher Carbs = Higher Insulin Demand
The higher is the carbohydrate intake, the higher will be the amount of glucose released in our blood and the higher will be the demand for insulin
Healthy vs. Unhealthy Carbs
The body can utilize glucose from healthy carbohydrates but cannot utilize it if the food choices are Unhealthy
The Problem with Processed Foods
Unhealthy Carbohydrates
Come from Packed, Junk and Processed foods
Dairy Contribution
Dairy and milk solids contribute to processed foods
Dependency and Addiction
Creates unhealthy food habits with no scientific basis
In India this is where starts our dependency and addiction for unhealthy food which we have been taught as saatvik and pure for no scientific reason. Unhealthy carbohydrates come from Packed, Junk and Processed foods, and dairy and milk solids contribute to a huge amount of processed foods.
Reversing Diabetes: A Holistic Approach
Lifestyle Disorder
Please understand that diabetes is a Lifestyle disorder which means it's coming from our habits that stem from weak mental routines, Imbalanced Emotions which is a culmination of habits we have been nurturing for decades.
Natural Method of Living
In Short if we have to reverse this disorder we have to understand and embrace a more Natural method of living, drop our resistances towards Ayurveda and creates patterns that can help the coming Generations stay healthy Physically, Mentally and Emotionally.
