Food is one of the four imbalanced factors that lies at the root cause of diabetes. Here’s the food that works to set this right!
I’m certain that you know at least 10 people who are diabetic. It is then possible for you to imagine a diabetes-free world? We have accepted that ‘after a certain age’ diabetes is normal. What’s new, however, is that people in their 20s are diabetic and so are children!
If you are diabetic, you have probably experienced a slow increase in weight, fluctuating sugar levels, worsening lab reports, increasing doses of medicine and insulin, and complications like kidney damage, retinal damage, nerve damage, etc. Unfortunately, while doctors prescribe drugs to control diabetes and tell you to take care of ‘exercise and diet’, most don’t have the time to tell you exactly how to do this.
Reversing diabetes
Naturopathy and yoga can help you reduce weight in just a few days, stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce the need for medications and insulin. Even complications will improve if you remove the root causes of the disease. We have helped many diabetics, including doctors, reduce or eliminate their medications, even go off insulin, all while eating delicious oranges and mangoes! You can achieve this too, with the right tools.

Remove the Root Cause of Disease
Imagine driving on a highway. You suddenly hear a loud bang from the engine. What would you do? Immediately stop the car and figure out what happened, correct? Would you instead turn up your music volume and pretend you didn’t hear the noise? Unlikely. We are tuned to get to the root cause of our problems and solve them. We pull out weeds by their roots, not trim their leaves so they can grow back!
The root cause of diabetes lies in imbalances in four spheres of our life — food, mind, lifestyle, and environment.
Diet don’t work. Understanding how food influences health does. The 5-step formula for reversing diabetes through food is a ‘Whole Foods Plant Based Diet’.
Farm: Organically or naturally grown plants. No animals or animal products. Gluten free crops.
Factory: Unprocessed whole foods
Shop: Local and seasonal ingredients
Kitchen: Slow cooked in water
Dining: Three-course meals to be had in the following order: Fruits and raw vegetables, followed by cooked vegetables, then cooked pulses and cereals; two meals a day, when hungry, mindfully eaten with eyes closed, without distractions and chewed to a paste.

Here’s a Meal that can help Reverse Diabetes through Food
Many doctors advise diabetics not to consume fruits, while in fact, fruits have tremendous potential to reverse diabetes. Research conducted at Harvard Medical School have shown that fruits prevent and reverse diabetes. Their guidelines include daily fruit consumption. Fruits and cereals like millets and rice have sugars. Add fruits at the beginning of every meal and reduce cereals at the end to balance it out. Vegetables, especially green leafy veggies, and nuts are important too!
Check out the chart below. Many of us use the ingredients on the left column of the chart. Replace these with the ones on the right. Follow these recipes to easily prepare meals that heal. Our recipes show how traditional food can be easily prepared to enable healing and health. Visit www.dietfruitfully.com for all our healing recipes. Bon Appetit!
