Purifying the pancreas is very important. To maintain a good quality of life, we need to regulate the body perfectly. This is not always easy, and sometimes a poor diet can cause inflammation or overload the body. Phytotherapy and naturopathy offer effective natural remedies for disorders and dysfunctions of the pancreas.

Here's how to look after your pancreas using natural recipes. It may be advisable to consult a naturopath.

Aubergine

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends eating aubergines because of their high fibre content and low glycaemic levels. Dr Kalidas Shetty, Professor in the Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts (USA), has closely studied the effects of aubergine on human health. Aubergine extracts can inhibit the digestive enzymes that convert food into glucose.Inhibiting these enzymes could slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, reducing their absorption and thus limiting the rise in blood sugar after a meal. Anyone with type 2 diabetes would do well to follow a low-carbohydrate diet and favour foods with a low glycaemic index. Aubergines, which are low in carbohydrates and calories and have a glycaemic index of just 15 (the maximum is 100), are an excellent ingredient to incorporate into a multitude of everyday recipes. Aubergines are full of fibre and contain very few soluble carbohydrates. The large quantity of antioxidants present in aubergines helps to eliminate blood sugar produced by free radicals. Other anti-diabetes nutrients in aubergines include quercetin, beta-carotene, genistein and curcumin. Very low in calories but highly nutritious, aubergine is a satiating food, which helps prevent snacking.

Recipe for diabetic sauce : Aubergines + okra + onions + garlic + gboma + fish + tomatoes.  Make a sauce without red oil and serve with millet paste.

Mango leaves

These leaves are very beneficial to our overall health, as they are rich in vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and many minerals.A study ‘Flavonoid Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Leaves’ published in ‘Food Chemistry’ in 2019 evaluated the effects of mango leaf extracts on drug-induced diabetic rats.The results showed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels in animals treated with mango leaf extracts compared with the control group. These leaves can reduce blood pressure and strengthen blood vessels.

Recipe: First, take 10 to 15 tender mango leaves, then boil them in a glass of water and leave overnight. In the morning, filter the water and drink it on an empty stomach. For best results, this method should be used for two or three months. You can also dry the leaves in a dark place and crush them. Use half a teaspoon of this mango leaf powder twice a day.

Guava leaves

According to Hypoglycemic and Antidiabetic Effects of Psidium guajava Leaf Extract in Diabetic Rats (2020), guava leaves may also help to treat diabetes and lower levels of unhealthy fats. The study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology assessed the effects of guava leaf extract on diabetic rats. The results showed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels and an improvement in insulin sensitivity in the treated animals.A clinical study conducted in Brazil in 2019 and published in the International Journal of Food Microbiology examined the effect of guava leaf tea consumption on type 2 diabetic patients.The results showed a significant reduction in fasting glucose levels and markers of inflammation after six weeks of treatment.

In cases of diabetes, a decoction of guava leaves reduces blood sugar levels and does not stimulate insulin secretion. Drinking an infusion of guava leaves regularly can naturally help to reduce bad fats by increasing the amount of good fats in the blood.You can use fresh or dried leaves.Soak a few leaves in a saucepan of plenty of water.Leave to prepare for 5 to 10 minutes.Leave to cool and filter the infusion. Then drink.

Ginger, garlic and honey

A remedy based on ginger, garlic and honey is an excellent option if you want to regulate the levels of unhealthy fats in the blood in a short space of time.According to the study ‘Ginger: An Herbal Medicinal Product with Antiinflammatory and Antioxidant Effects’ published in the ‘Journal of Medicinal Food’ in 2005, this natural remedy strengthens the immune system, helps clean out the arteries and therefore reduces the risk of suffering from possible cardiovascular disease.

Recipe: 4 cloves of garlic, 3 centimetres of ginger root, ½ cup of lemon juice (125 ml), 8 cups of water (2 litres), 1 cup of honey (336 g). Peel the garlic very well and add it to the blender with the pieces of ginger root.Blend for a few minutes until smooth. Juice the lemon to at least half a cup and add it to the mixture with the 2 litres of water.Finally, add the cup of honey and blend all the ingredients thoroughly.Finally, filter the drink if necessary and pour it into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.Leave to stand for at least 5 days in a cool, shady place.Finally, you can use this remedy to reduce bad fats.You can also keep this preparation in a cool place in the fridge.You can take a cup of this preparation on an empty stomach or before each meal.Use this remedy for a maximum of 2 weeks.In addition, eat a healthy, varied and balanced diet and exercise regularly. Adopt a healthy lifestyle.Have an annual medical check-up with your doctor to check your fat, triglyceride and blood sugar levels.

Beetroot and carrot

This healthy juice should be drunk immediately, otherwise it will lose its vitamins.Enjoy it at breakfast over a course of several days to optimise its effects.According to the study ‘Dietary glycemic index and glycemic load and risk of type 2 diabetes in women’, this juice has a relatively low glycemic index, which means it has a moderate effect on blood glucose levels.The study published in ‘The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’ indicated that this juice can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.It may improve insulin sensitivity indexes in overweight and obese people, but the direct effect on blood glucose levels needs more research.

Recipe: 1 beetroot, 1 carrot, 5 spoonfuls of lemon juice (50 ml), 1 glass of water (200 ml). The first thing to do is wash the beetroot and carrot well. Then cut them into small pieces to make blending easier. Once the two foods have been blended, mix them with the glass of water and lemon juice. Drink in the morning. It's good for the body.

Warning

These recipes have interesting potential for helping to manage diabetes thanks to their hypoglycaemic and antioxidant effects. As always, it is advisable to consult a doctor before incorporating new supplements into the treatment of diabetes.
