Nopal Cactus and Diabetes
Found to Lower
Blood Sugar Levels in People with Diabetes
Nopal Cactus has recently been the subject
of
scientific research that highlights its potential benefit to people
with diabetes and others wanting natural support in normalizing their
blood sugar level.
In
the 1991 issue of
Archives of Medicine, as reported by the Department of Internal
Medicine, Mexico, Drs. A.C. Frati, N. Diaz Xiloti, et al., state, "Diabetic
patients had a significant decrease of serum glucose reaching from 41
to 46% when taking Nopal .”
Nopal has been used in Mexico
to treat diabetes, stomach problems, fatigue, shortness of breath, easy
bruising, prostate enlargement and liver disease for over 1,000 years.
It has been thoroughly documented for over 500 years.
Legend
has it
the Aztecs consumed the "prickly pear" to control or actually cure
"sweet urine disease" (diabetes) in adults. This cactus continues to
be a traditional treatment of diabetes in Mexico and other Latin
American countries.
Nopal lowers
blood sugar levels by blocking absorption of sugar in the
intestinal tract. It lowers overall cholesterol levels, improves the
ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides by preventing
the conversion of blood sugar into fat and by eliminating excess bile
acids, which would ultimately be converted to cholesterol. It also
lowers blood pressure and curbs the appetite and facilitates the
breakdown and excretion of fat.
