Metabolic Syndrome Treatment in Dubai

Diabetes

In type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes), the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow glucose to enter cells to produce energy. In people with type 1 diabetes, our own misdirected immune system destroys the insulin-producing (islet) cells in the pancreas. Ayurveda treat Type 1 Diabetes as Madhumeham associated with Dhatu Kshayam. With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. Some people with type 2 diabetes can manage their blood sugar with exercise and diet alone.

Ayurvedic books describe a condition named Madhumeha under the category of Urinary disorders (diseases associated with Polyurea), which is accepted as Diabetes mellitus in the Ayurveda world. Ayurveda explains 2 types of Madhumeha, 1) due to congenital factors 2) due to improper lifestyle habits. Ayurveda does not consider diabetes as a disease that can be treated by mere medication or diet. Instead it is based on the entire change in the lifestyle of a person. Even the mental aspects of the person which trigger the disease are covered. Diabetes can cause several complications in the long run and Ayurvedic treatment approach takes into consideration all such possible complications. Ayurveda is closely knit with yoga in the treatment of diabetes. Many herbal drug combinations are being successfully used for the control of hyperglycaemia especially in non-insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus (Type 2).

Ayurveda offers effective diabetic medications; in mild to moderate cases, they can be alternative and in severe cases they act as excellent complimentary support.

High Cholesterol & Lipids

Hyperlipidaemia is an elevation of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream. These lipids include cholesterol, cholesterol esters (compounds), phospholipids and triglycerides. One can check the lipid profile to find the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) can be inherited, but it's often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices.

When you have high cholesterol, you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs, which increases the risk of a heart attack. Decreased blood flow to your brain can cause a stroke. The causative factors within your control are inactivity, obesity and an unhealthy diet. The screening test that is usually performed is a blood test called a lipid profile. The lipid profile includes:

LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called "bad" cholesterol)
HDL (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called "good" cholesterol)
Triglycerides (fats carried in the blood from the food we eat. Excess calories, alcohol, or sugar in the body are converted into triglycerides and stored in cells)

Weight loss requires, Consistency. Most of us work so hard to stick to our diet during the week that we convince ourselves that we can splurge on the weekend. Or we think that because we skipped breakfast, we can have dessert with lunch. Both are a bad choice.
Make sure you reduce the size of your portions and cut out all snacks that are not part of your diet plan
You need to make sure that the foods you do eat are the right types. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you get plenty of fruits, salads, and dark green vegetables. Stay away from refined foods and starches and eat meat in very small amounts. Crash diets to reduce calories aren't recommended because they can cut so many calories and nutrients that they lead to other health problems, such as vitamin deficiencies. Fasting isn't the answer, either.
To lose weight, indulge in 20 to 30 minutes of exercise.
Slow your exercise down to no more than 85% of your maximum heart rate (subtract your age from 220 to get your max heart rate). At this pace, your body burns fats more effectively.
Not getting enough sleep can slow your metabolism making weight loss difficult.
Make sure you're not setting yourself up for disappointment by setting a weight loss goal that is totally unrealistic.
