SHARAN

Testimonial of Kalpana Shah

Kalpana Shah or Kala as she likes to be called had diabetes, high BP and chronic kidney disease and as a result of these, she had swellings in her feet which resulted in difficulty in walking. Kala came all the way from the UK for our Sept 2016 21-day Health Retreat and improved dramatically during that time. We were able to reduce medicines and insulin to a large extent. But more importantly she and her husband persisted and got better and better after the program. The testimonial above is of the end of the program. Her husband recently (June 2017) sent a short clip about her transformation too.​

Diabetes is Reversible

Diabetes like most lifestyle diseases is reversible, just by changing the lifestyle. In order to get rid of any problem, we should think about the cause of the problem and remove it. While most people are told to stop sugar, and carbohydrates, the truth is no one gets well from this advice. Read on to understand some of the changes that you can make to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes and to greatly improve type 1 diabetes.

You will see the results on your glucometer when you make these changes…

1. Start the day with green smoothies and fruit Interestingly you can eat any fruit, even in large quantities, and yet not see your blood sugar rise.

2. Eat plenty of organic vegetables Fruits and vegetables are high sources of phyto nutrients. Nutrients are the spare parts for healing.

3. Eat whole grains and beans These fill you up without raising your blood sugar.

4. Eat for fibre Fibre cleans our body, and provides bulk. Animal products are completely devoid of fibre. Plants contain a lot of fibre. Avoid refined and packaged  products where the fibre has been removed.

5. Consume organic foods Pesticides are known to cause diabetes.

6. Avoid fat Fat is found in oil, ghee, butter, as well as all animal products including dairy. Avoid fried foods, and cooking with fat. Avoid all animal products.

7. Avoid dairy Dairy contains a host of elements that promote diabetes. Like all animal products, dairy contains fat without fibre. Being the natural secretion of a lactating female mammal, it’s also flooded with hormones that disturb the hormonal balance in our body. Since diabetes is a hormonal problem, avoiding dairy completely goes a long way in reversing diabetes.

8. Avoid tea, coffee, colas and addictive substances Tea coffee and colas raise the blood sugar.

9. Avoid artificial sweeteners They never help reverse diabetes but are harmful in other ways. The best sweeteners are dates and raisins. Yes, these are allowed.

10. Make sure vitamin D levels are normal Low vitamin levels can cause diabetes. Supplementation may be required.

11. Exercise, go to bed early, and minimise stress. SHARAN has a variety of ways to help you get rid of diabetes. We have a 21 day online program, we have seminars in Indian metros, London and Dubai. We have consultations that are done on phone and Skype so that we can help anyone anywhere. We have cooking classes, a new book, etc.. Don’t wait to disease proof yourself!
