The food we eat consists of carbohydrates and sugar, which is
metabolized by the body to produce ‘Glucose’, the glucose level in blood is
maintained by Insulin hormone produced by the β –cells of pancreas which
further provides energy as and when required.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease which is most prevalent health
problem worldwide. It decreases the ability of body to use energy found in
food. Patients suffering from higher blood sugar level may encounter symptoms
like:
·
poly urea (frequent urination)
·
polydipsia (feel thirsty)
·
polyphagia (hungry)
·
Blurred vision
·
Extreme tiredness
·
Slow healing of wounds
·
Weight loss
Causes of diabetes:
· One of the major causes of diabetes is
impaired production of glucose metabolizing enzymes i.e., decrease in production
of Hexokinase enzyme in liver and increase glucose-6-phosphatase activity.
· Inadequate production of Insulin from
damaged pancreatic cells.
· When body cells do not respond to
insulin.
· Improper diets are also responsible for
diabetic complications.

| Spirulina in Diabetes |
Potent anti-oxidant property
of Spirulina prevents free radical induced cell- damage to beta cells of
pancreas, which helps in proper production of Insulin from pancreatic cells.
Diabetic patients have critical lipid profile. Spirulina has the ability
to decrease the blood lipid level by reducing the bad cholesterol LDL, which
prevents heart diseases and reduces the oxidative stress.
The calorie-cut diet regime of diabetic patients causes deficiency of
various nutrients. Adding Spirulina in diet provides complete nourishment and
act as immunomodulator too.
Therefore, Nutraculture Spirulina provides complete nourishment as well
as an efficacious treatment for diabetes by working on the root cause of
problem and providing all the nutrients whose deficiencies can increase the
risk of diabetes.
