Benefits of pumpkin for diabetic peoples


I was browsing a website in which i was interested in reading the benefits of vegetables for diabetics. I found a very interesting information about pumpkins. Following are the benefits of pumpkin. 

  • It would help in fostering good glycaemia and metabolic control
  • Prevents long term complications due to the antioxidant protection
  • It prevents the progressive destruction of pancreatic beta cells
  • Research done at East China Normal University highlights the fact that diabetic rats fed the extract had only 5 per cent less plasma insulin and 8 per cent fewer insulin (beta) cells as compared to normal healthy rats
  • The extract is good for pre - diabetic as well as those already suffering from it
  • Insulin injections still need to be taken, but the number of injections will reduce
  • It can be source of medication that can be had via the mouth
  • The pumpkin extract may promote regeneration of damaged pancreatic cells in diabetic rats and also boost the levels of insulin-producing beta cells and insulin in the blood.
  • The boosting of insulin levels lowers the blood sugar levels, which in turn reduces levels of oxidative oxygen species that damage beta-cell membranes. Further damage is prevented and there is sufficient space for regeneration
