Turmeric
Turmeric, also known as Curcuma Longa, is a traditional medicine found in many folk remedies. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric has the ability to treat certain conditions such as diabetes and cancer.
Multiple studies have shown that the compound curcumin in turmeric helps reduce blood sugar levels, effectively fights inflammation, and maintains stable blood sugar levels. Turmeric also contains compounds that have been proven to help the body decrease insulin resistance, leading to increased blood sugar levels.
Not only that, turmeric is also a good spice for the kidneys. Active ingredients in turmeric such as curcumin, curcumen, and paratolyl methyl carbinol essential oil help reduce the effects of inflammatory factors and enzymes that cause chronic kidney disease. Curcumin truly inhibits the growth and spread of all types of bacteria, reducing the danger to the kidneys.
Ginger
Ginger is not only a spice but also a medicinal herb. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger has a pungent taste and warm nature, with fresh ginger called “sheng jiang” and dried ginger called “gan jiang”.
Ginger contains many essential oils, including β-zingiberene, ar-curcumen, β-farnesene, α-camphene, β-phellandrene, eucalyptol, alcohols such as geraniol, borneol, zingerone, shogaol, and zingerol. Because of this, ginger has various benefits for health.
Research shows that supplementing with ginger helps improve insulin resistance and metabolic rate. This is especially true for type 2 diabetes patients, as ginger can help reduce fasting blood sugar levels. Gingerol compounds in ginger have inhibitory effects on the spread of bacteria, which is beneficial for the kidneys and liver, preventing them from overworking.
In addition, gingerol also supports healthy digestion, reduces inflammation, and provides strong pain relief. Increased blood sugar levels can be harmful to the kidneys. Research shows that consuming ginger powder can help control blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of kidney complications, especially in patients with diabetes.
Garlic
In the kitchens of Vietnamese households, this spice is indispensable. Raw or cooked, garlic is easily absorbed and brings many health benefits. Not only does it enhance the flavor and nutrition of dishes, but garlic is also a “magic potion” that helps prevent and treat various diseases.
Research shows that on average, each clove of garlic contains 1mg of sodium, 12mg of potassium, and 4mg of phosphorus. Garlic not only enhances the immune system but also lowers cholesterol levels in the body to limit kidney infections. Garlic also contains compounds that help reduce levels of lead and cadmium in the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, and blood.
At the same time, garlic extracts such as alliin, allicin, and diallyl disulfide have been proven to be effective in reducing insulin resistance.
Recently, it has been discovered that garlic has a very good effect on lowering blood sugar levels and can be used as a dietary treatment for diabetic patients.
