HONEY DIET

INDIBLOGGERS MEET OF 04 July 2015 AT BANGALURU

                        THE DABUR HONEY DIET

HONEY DIET is diabetic friendly. I myself am diabetic.

Hence I will concentrate on HONEY DIET and DIABETES. Let us revise the heading to HONEY DIET and DIABETES.

My diabetes problem was diagnosed in year 1993.

Doctors tell us to be away from sweet. Whereas they should distance us from sugar not sweet.

The above statement is not complete; as all carbohydrates we consume are digested after converting to sugar (sucrose). The main items in the list are wheat, rice and fat.

Over all we have to control calories produced by the meal.

Let us understand the term diabetes; the pancreas of patient is not functioning properly, hence he has problem of diabetes and is called diabetic.

The only precautions he has to take; he should not load the pancreas.

·       For that he should not consume sugar and carbohydrates; more precisely sucrose.

·       The problem becomes magnanimous as carbohydrates convert to sucrose before getting digested. They are the main content of our complete meal.

·       Do not permit increase of sugar level in the body.

Pancreas’ work is to adjust the level of sugar in blood and it handles only sucrose. Not sweets containing glucose and fructose. Hence reasonable amount can be consumed keeping the sugar level right. Pancreas does not help in digestion of these so the calories are to be burnt by physical and mental labour only.

Most of mothers feed their children glucose. The reason is the pancreas; a very sensitive organ is not loaded unnecessary.

So a diabetic can also have glucose and fructose without loading the pancreas. The only problem is, he has to digest these sweets by physical & mental labour to keep the sugar level normal in the body.

HONEY is combination of glucose and fructose; hence is an ideal diet for diabetics.

Dates also carry the same with additional quality of controlling the sugar level.

Very few fruits contain sucrose.

In a layman’s language, any sweet which

·       Crystallises is sucrose.

·       Do no crystallise are glucose or fructose.

Doctors instruct diabetics not consume most of fruits like, mango, banana, chikoo, custard apple etc. But there sweet content cannot be crystallized, hence can be consumed in reasonable quantity.

If HONEY contains glucose and fructose only, it will never crystallise. In case crystals are formed, sugar is mixed in the concoction; I will not call it HONEY. Even when it is dried or dehydrated only viscosity is increased.

Glucose and fructose do not react with each other; hence the mixture HONEY shall never crystallize.

Lots of people were looking for cure of OBESITY by consuming HONEY WITH WARM WATER. I cannot comment on that; as I do not know medicinal characteristics of HONEY, but tell a much simpler solution.

Stop consuming salt.

-       For details refer blog my next blog.

  

I myself was weighing 84 kg, now am study at 60 kg for more than 5 years.

The technical (medical) reason is, our body contains about 88% water, so we have to get rid of water in the body. The water is held in the body as compounds of salt only. Hence reduce the item which is holding water.

One person asked, can HONEY be given to child to increase his vocabulary? There is no comment on this, but it is assured, it will not harm as HONEY does not interact with pancreas.

There is not much of research on benefit of HONEY; But is benifical all the way. One may call it NECTOR.
