Lingzhi & Diabetes

Every 30 seconds, 1 diabetic patient in this world will have his or her limb(s) amputated as a result of diabetic complications. Currently, there are around 2.1 million Malaysians suffering from diabetes. Indeed, diabetes has made its presence very much felt in these modern times.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic and prolonged condition of excessively high level of blood sugar. When the blood sugar level is high, a protein hormone called insulin is secreted into the blood by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets. In the event of a deficiency or absence of insulin, or when there is an increase in the factors disrupting the activities of insulin, the level of blood sugar becomes elevated, resulting in the onset of diabetes.

What to do when suffered from diabetes?
Go immediately for a thorough medical check-up on your body, including special care to the eyes, to ensure that no other bodily organ is affected.
It is worth pointing out that about 85% of diabetic patients also experience various types of complications. These include obesity, heart trouble, hypertension and diseases affecting the blood vessels in the brain, kidneys, lower limbs, retina of the eyes and so on. As these health problems are closely linked to diabetes, they can be effectively prevented or their onset retarded if the blood sugar in our body is controlled at a healthy level.

Health management for diabetics
Dietetic therapy is all important. The control of blood sugar level should begin with observing a balanced diet and healthy living habits, apart from keeping the following in check:

• Maintain an ideal bodyweight
• Reduce the intake of food that are oily, deep fried, or high in fat (such as poultry skin) or those with high contents of cholesterol
• Avoid using animal oil for cooking purposes. Use vegetable oil instead
• Cook your food by way of steaming, stewing, making salad, braising or roasting instead of frying or deep frying
• Take more food that are rich in fibres, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains
• Take less high sugar food or beverages such as confectionery, carbonated drinks, honey, fruit juice and desserts
• Always go for dishes that are bland and low in sodium (less salty)
• Avoid alcoholic drinks

While diabetes is inherently a dreaded healh problem, a dietetic patient can however put its condition under control and continue to enjoy quality life through the consumption of certain supplementary health food.

Lingzhi & Diabetes

Actually, diabetes can be traced to problem associated with a disorder in the secretion of insulin, leading to metabolic disturbances of carbohydrate, protein, fat, water, and electrolyte. As a result, the physiological balance of the body is disrupted and this brings about the diabetic condition characterized by series of pathological changes. 

The polysaccharides in Lingzhi are known to be effective bringing down the level of blood sugar. At the same time, they also contribute to elevating the concentration of insulin in the blood. Clinical experiments have shown that Lingzhi is capable of retarding the rate at which the blod sugar level in our body rises and reducing the concentration of blood sugar after meal. Besides, it also helps exciting the secretion of insulin, thereby sustaining a stable concentration of he latter for a prolonged period. This will in effect enhance the utilization of blood glucose by our tissue cells, hence resulting in a reduction in the level of blood sugar.

The various efficacies of Lingzhi against diabetes can be broadly classified as follows:

• Elevating insulin concentration
• Promoting the utilization of glucose in the blood by tissue cells
• Enhancing glucose metabolism in the liver
• Bringing down blood sugar level
• Protecting cardiac blood vessels to prevent and alleviate the condition of arteriosclerosis or complications caused by hardening of the micro blood vessels.
