Bitter curry is good for health

Diabetes is the most prevalent problem in cities today. Most of the world's population is suffering from diabetes. There is no specific cure for this problem other than insulin. At such times the bitter nectar works. Patients with diabetes especially need to pay attention to their diet. Diabetic patients are well aware that controlling the disease is not easy.

As diabetic patients have to pay attention to food, karela nectar, which is considered bitter for them, works. Health food is in vogue in the markets nowadays. But this health food is also full of sugar. Diabetic patients are also at risk for obesity and stroke. At such times, Karela is said to be a handy weapon, especially for Indians.

But many are unaware of the use of karela. Bitter gourd is rich in vitamins and minerals. However, karela in particular has three elements that have anti-diabetic properties. Charanti, Visaine and polypeptide-P component in Karela have been shown to be effective against diabetes. Charanti has the property of lowering blood sugar levels while polypeptide-P is an insulin-like ingredient. These three components of karela naturally work to control the level of insulin in the body.

Bitter karela juice is the best drink for diabetic patients. This helps control blood sugar levels. Karela juice activates insulin in the body. When insulin is active, sugar is used by the body immediately and is not converted into fat. This is why curry is also useful in weight loss.

Fruit juice is also taboo for diabetic patients as karela juice is the only drink they can drink without any hesitation. To extract karela juice, first remove the karela peel. Then slice the karela in half and remove the inside with a spoon. Now cut the bitter karela into small pieces. Soak these pieces in cold water for 30 minutes. Put the karela pieces in the juicer and add half a teaspoon of salt and lemon juice. Honey or jaggery can also be added. Karela juice can also be mixed with apple or pear juice. A pinch of pepper and ginger can also add to its flavor.

Bitter gourd has been shown to be useful not only in diabetes but also in colic, fever, chronic cough, painful menstruation, skin diseases.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that the use of Karela is only a help for diabetes or any other disease. No diet can replace medicine or doctor's advice and instructions. Carella only makes the treatment more effective.
