Balanced blood sugar levels is one of the best gifts you can give your body – and a core part of Ayurveda.
Before we jump into that, let’s take a moment to understand the importance of having healthy blood sugar levels – and how it relates to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Your blood sugar levels have an impact on your energy, concentration, ability to lose weight performance, mood and much more. ¹
Any time you chow down on sweet or starchy foods (or enjoy an adult beverage), your body breaks it down into a sugar called glucose, which your body uses for energy.
Meanwhile, your body is also producing a hormone called insulin, which it uses to balance out the glucose in your blood. The two exist in a delicate balance … and when that balance is thrown off, it leaves our bodies feeling “not so good.”
Over time, this imbalance can lead to health issues, weight gain, and Type 2 Diabetes.
It’s also treatable through Ayurveda.
Type 2 Diabetes and Ayurveda
The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes represents one of the greatest public health challenges in the 21st century. Current treatment costs for T2D accounts for 7–14% of total health care spending across all regions of the globe regardless of income (Zhang 293). And by 2035 this preventable healthcare burden is projected to affect 592 million people.
These predictions, however, are not predestined. Identifying dietary and lifestyle factors that cause Type 2 Diabetes is a priority for health professionals across the world. Prameha was the Ayurvedic discovery of diabetes mellitus (T2D) thousands of years ago. Today Ayurveda offers clearly defined guidelines for dietary therapeutics, lifestyle choices and other unique therapies to reduce the prevalence Type 2 Diabetes.
The Ayurvedic perspective on Type 2 Diabetes is complex and multifaceted. The etiology of the disease in based on the state of digestion, the presence of toxins, and the condition of the body. It views T2D as a metabolic disorder. Not one disease, but a syndrome with many interrelated diseases and comorbidities. Modern medicine shares this perspective and has recognized that the multifaceted disease process is unique to each individual and deserves a personalized approach to improve healthcare for those with Type 2 Diabetes. This concept resonates with the patient-centered approach found in Ayurveda.
Type 2 Diabetes is considered to be a lifestyle disease due to its strong links to deleterious lifestyle practices found in modern society. Research has shown that 80–90% of all cases of T2D could be prevented through a healthy lifestyle, clean diet, reducing sedentary time and increasing exercise (Ford 169) (Mozaffarian 169). Ayurveda shares this belief and offers a scientifically proven approach to reducing Type 2 Diabetes.
