Your health is being destroyed by chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. Big Pharma led you to believe engineered medications were the only answer. Here’s 7 natural herbs and spices to fight inflammation and improve your sugar levels:
1) Turmeric Turmeric’s active component is curcumin a powerful antioxidant. Curcumin helps to eliminate molecules called free radicals that damage cell membranes and your DNA leading to inflammation. Curcumin works to reduce free fatty acids and glucose improving sugar levels.
2) Ginger Gingerol the active ingredient in ginger promotes insulin sensitivity by making muscle cell receptors more easily available. With more receptors able to grab sugar it improves sugar uptake out of the blood and into muscle cells reducing blood sugar.
3) Fenugreek Seeds Fenugreek are high in soluble fiber which slows digestion and the body’s absorption of carbohydrates and sugar, stabilizing blood sugar. Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants, which protect the body’s cells and reduce inflammation.
4) Cinnamon Cinnamon increases insulin sensitivity by helping glucose receptors on muscle cells become more available and efficient at transporting sugar into cells. Cinnamon may even mimic insulin and act directly on cells.
5) Garlic Garlic contains diallyl disulfide an anti-inflammatory compound that limits the effects of pro-inflammatory molecules.. Garlic has also been shown to improve insulin secretion and overall insulin sensitivity. Raw garlic seems to show the greatest health benefits.
6) Ginseng Ginseng contain natural components called ginsenosides. These have shown to help: -Improve the transport of glucose into cells -Regulate insulin secretion and the uptake of glucose -Reduce free radicals, insulin resistance and overall inflammation
7) Green Tea Green tea contains the antioxidant catechin. This compound helps to prevent the sharp rise in blood sugar after a meal. Green tea has been shown to decrease fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels and reduced fasting insulin levels.
