Type Two Diabetes Diet and Gymnema, a Destroyer - How They Relate


By James Boulay

When looking at Americans from the outside inwards, you may notice we are a very odd set in the way we go about things. For instance the New England area is fast paced while the Southern states are more laid back in their ways. You may also notice we fancy, as a country, the type two diabetes diet. I am not saying we go out of our way to induce or increase our chances of getting type two diabetes, it seems as if we simply push it to the back of our minds. I am not sure that there is a specific type two diabetes diet, but leave it to us to create one. We live off fast and processed foods and exercise, especially in the North East takes a backseat to an active work lifestyle. That is a very strong reason we should look into Gymnema as an additive to our diets. There has to be a case being made for Gymnema, and here I will point out a few of the stronger reasons.

What is so special about gymnema, that is a good argument to continue ignoring it. However gymnema actually acts as your Swiss army knife, as it has multiple uses. Gymnema manages and stabilizes blood sugar which will be the focus of this article. However gymnema does far more than that including helping to fight viruses. It has, along with antiviral properties, the ability to help lower cholesterol levels. For a curveball, gymnema has been known to reduce the effects of some snake bites in its home countries.

Any halfway decent nutritional supplement store carries this item. Normally it is available in a pill form that you can supplement or complement your health routine with. The plant is normally grown and cultivated in Central and Southern India, but has also been known to be found in various smaller areas of Africa. It is not a new phenomena that is quick to come and even quicker to go. In fact, Gymnema has been used in India for over two thousand years for various conditions. In India, gymnema has been used mainly as a cure (over there they call it a cure, in the states it is NOT a cure and you should not consider it to be, yet) for India's version of the type two diabetes diet. India's working class is catching up to the US' obesity rate at a slow, yet noticeable pace and one of the attributes to this is an increase in diabetes among other things.

Gymnema has been getting noticed by some pretty large groups in the United States lately. It has been a treasure for herbologists and holistic healers, and pretty much every other alternative medicine practitioner for decades, but there is a new expert added to the mix. The popularity of this plant has caught the attention of Harvard Medical School, which is a pretty enormous deal for the plant. Alternative medicine fights and normally loses to pharmaceuticals, however with Harvard Medical School now investigating the effects of gymnema that could be changing. It should not be taken as a political or anti-pharmaceutical stance, however alternative medicines are difficult to give attributable effects for conditions. An odd occurrence with alternative medicine can be compared to the lottery. Although there are known benefits for certain herbs and the like, they normally act in different ways in different people. Green tea for example helps some lose weight through thermogenic properties while it does not help others lose weight, instead bettering their immune system. An easy way to explain this occurrence is the fact that we are not robots and are individually unique in a multitude of areas.

Where does destroyer, as mentioned in the subject, come in? When you consider destroyer you may think of Alexander the Great, maybe George Patton, possibly a mammoth army. You could even when asked what a destroyer is respond that it is a warship in the United States Naval fleet. In fact it is all the previously mentioned items, but would you consider a simple small plant to be a destroyer? If not you answered the same way I had and we are both wrong. The Hindu language attributes the power of one plant those of the battleship and legendary warriors. Gumar means "sugar destroyer" in Hindu. How does sugar Destroyer relate to type two diabetes diet and gymnema?

The type two diabetes diet is known to cause insulin to have an inability or a lack of effectiveness to process sugar, thus giving the body higher blood sugars. Gymnema is used to treat, as previously mentioned, diabetes by helping to make the cells in our body more receptive to insulin in turn lowering our blood sugar. What about the destroyer, Gumar? That is simply another name for Gymnema. Although they do not say it Directly, Harvard Medical School apparently believes the type two diabetes diet can be eased by allowing gumar (gymnema) to act as the" sugar destroyer".
