Super Juice to Prevent and Manage Diabetes

Add to Favorites

Diabetes is a condition in which the blood glucose (sugar) level is unnaturally high. Diabetes, as several studies have shown, is a lifestyle disorder that is manageable and also reversible. One of the primary ways to reverse diabetes is lifestyle and dietary modification. When it comes to diet, the key to preventing and managing diabetes and other lifestyle diseases is eliminating white flour, refined sugar, dairy, and processed and packaged foods from our diet. These foods are stripped of their natural essences and stand on our shelves as empty ghosts without nutritional souls.

To check how processing leaves food devoid of essential nutrients. Industrially packaged food like white flour, when left open for six months, will neither go bad nor be infected by pests. Due to industrial processing, most nutrients from flour are stripped, the bran, germ, dietary fiber, iron, and B vitamins.  Bleaching today is prohibited in Europe and Australia, but it still remains a practice to give it a pure white color in some countries. Thus, even insects do not eat it, unfortunately, people still consume it daily.

The human body is designed evolutionarily to adapt, thrive, and live at optimum levels both mentally and physically. But today, children around the world are getting sick more frequently than ever before. Kids in their early teens across Europe, and North and South America, are developing type 1 and 2 diabetes. This is not natural and is induced by an unhealthy lifestyle plus an improper diet.

Hundreds of studies have shown that by altering their lifestyle and diet, and through good nutrition, exercise, and meditation, people have reversed lifestyle diseases like diabetes and many others. Thus, preventing these diseases requires understanding how the body and mind function and what they need to function efficiently. It is imperative to be conscious about and take care of ourselves and our family’s health because there is no substitution for good health.

This all-natural juice, composed of green veggies and fruits, is rich in vitamins and micronutrients. It helps in boosting the body’s immunity and also in managing blood sugar levels naturally.

Notes

Pros and Cons of high speed liquifier and a slow juice extractor: It is best to prepare the juice fresh; however, you can also store it in a refrigerator (at 4°C) for 1-2 days. Juice extracted using a fast juicer will oxidize more quickly than the juice extracted using a slow juicer. This is because the Liquefier spins at 3000rpm, spinning at high speeds creates vortex causing a sucking of air which incorporates to the juice and hastens the oxidation process. Slow juice mastigator rotates at 80 rpm which slowly grinds and squeezes out the juice from the pulp and no air is forced into the juice which can keep longer in the refrigerator without oxidation.
