Peanut Butter Added to Breakfast Meals Can Benefit Diabetic Adults
Fact checked

Nuts are widely considered beneficial for human health, with solid scientific links between their consumption and reduced morbidity.1,2 This is also includes nuts' effects on managing type 2 diabetes.

Several studies aimed at determining which nuts (and at what amounts) offer the most benefits to diabetics, including trials on peanuts whose nutritional characteristics were shown to regulate appetite and improve glycemic control.

obese women with high type 2 diabetes risk, who were assigned to the following regimens:

A breakfast meal with 42.5 grams of peanuts without skins
A breakfast meal with 42.5 grams of peanut butter
A peanut-free, 75 g carbohydrate-matched breakfast meal
Each woman went through each of the three regimes, with an eight-day washout period in between.

Postprandial (after eating a meal) blood glucose, insulin, appetite, and food intakes – among other variables – were measured after breakfast meals as well as after a standard lunch meal.

The Results
Participants eating a peanut butter breakfast showed reduced first-meal free fatty acid concentrations and early glycemic responses. Peanut butter consumption also improved second-meal glycemic responses and reduced the glycemic index of breakfast meals

Tamarind
Tamarind has been used since ancient times for both its flavor and medicinal benefits, which include lowering blood pressure and relieving constipation

Stimulating bowel movements. The fruit of tamarind acts as a mild laxative because it contains high levels of organic acids.

Lowering blood pressure. Research has shown that extracts of tamarind can lower blood pressure.

Additionally, some studies have suggested that tamarind extract may help lowering harmful cholesterol levels, thus preventing arteries from clogging.

How It Works
Tamarind benefits can be attributed to its content of tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric acid, responsible for the famous laxative properties of this African fruit. The combined action of these acids helps lubricate the intestines, facilitating bowel movements.

Although its exact mechanisms of action are yet to be understood, tamarind fruit has been shown to lower blood pressure and is thought to reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the body.

IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE, TAMARIND IS ALSO USED TO FIGHT FEVER, REDUCE ABDOMINAL PAIN, AND TREAT WOUNDS.
Other herbs that help regulate bowel movements are psyllium and senna.

Tamarin Side Effects
Tamarind fruit is likely safe for most people when taken by mouth. However, very little research has been done regarding its medicinal uses, so the potential side effects are unknown.

Cautions
While tamarind fruit is safe for most people, those who have diabetes should consume it with caution since it can lower blood sugar levels. Care must be taken when taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and tamarind, since this fruit may increase the absorption of the drug.1 It is also recommended that anyone who are scheduled for surgery should avoid using tamarind. For women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, very little is known regarding its potential side effects, so consulting a doctor before taking tamarind is recommended.

Natural Forms
Raw. Tamarind pods can be eaten fresh, mixed into smoothies, or prepared into other medicinal preparations for the relief of constipation.

Paste. When consumed as a paste, tamarind works best as a mild laxative because of its combination of nutrients and active compounds.

Herbal Remedies & Supplements
Liquid extract. Tamarind's extract works as a mild laxative because of its high concentration of tartaric, malic, and citric acids.

Syrup. When consumed as a syrup, tamarind works to regulate cholesterol levels.

Additional medicinal uses of pomegranate include preventing an treating diabetes, as well as infections such as herpes simplex, flu, and gum disease.

How It Works
The two compounds largely responsible for pomegranate's antioxidant activity are ellagic acid and punicalagin. Flavonoids also play an important role in pomegranate's antioxidant activity because of their effect in eliminating free radicals.

Pomegranate's strong antioxidant and antiseptic properties are due to the combined action of tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Together, these compounds work to protect cells from oxidative damage. The tannins in pomegranate not only help stop diarrhea and alleviate hemorrhoids, but also also inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus.

Antiseptic properties can be found in cardamom and eucalyptus, whereas olive and tomato boost cardiovascular health.

Pomegranate Side Effects
Dietary consumption of pomegranate has been deemed generally safe. However, the fruit can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. Symptoms include skin rash, hives, and bronchospasms.

Cautions
Pomegranate can negatively interact with certain medications, such as over-the-counter painkillers and anti-depressive drugs, reducing their pharmacological action and potentiating their side effects.

Mango
This tropical fruit is rich in nutrients, which is perhaps why it has been used for thousands of years across the world for medicinal ends. Learn more about its history and uses.

Speeding up tissue regeneration. Mango's antioxidant content improves the health of soft body tissues and promotes proper skin hydration, also aiding in the recovery of wounds.

Promoting eye health. Due to their high levels of carotenoids, mangoes help maintain and improve eye health, preventing vitamin A deficiency and age-related diseases, such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

Additionally, some studies suggest that mango may help lower blood sugar levels, thus being effective in the complementary treatment and prevention of hyperglycemia and diabetes.

How It Works
Mangoes are best known for their nutritional value, but their therapeutic prowess lies in the rare phytocompounds present: the main active ingredient in the mango fruit is mangiferin, which is presently undergoing extensive research. It seems to act in combination with over 25 different carotenoids, as well as polyphenols, gallic acid, caffeic acid, catechins, and tannins, in order to promote eye health and wound healing, as well as contributing to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Rhubarb
Rhubarb has been used for 3,000 years in dishes and as a medicinal remedy. Learn more about its history, biology, and health benefits.

Health Benefits of Rhubarb
While rhubarb is more popular as a vegetable, preliminary research has revealed its has hypoglycemic and laxative properties. Rhubarb is commonly used for:

Lowering blood sugar. Due to its hypoglycemic properties, rhubarb has been shown to be useful in the treatment of diabetes.

Treating constipation and diarrhea. Rhubarb possess both astringent and laxative actions, which help regulate intestinal transit.

Rhubarb also has anti-inflammatory properties and is often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of fever, ulcers, headaches, and toothaches.

How It Works
Rhubarb stalk contains two main active constituents, anthraquinone - also found in cascara sagrada and cascara sagrada - and glycoside rhaponticin. These components are thought to be partly responsible for the anti-inflammatory and laxative actions of rhubarb.

Rhubarb's laxative effect is linked to its high fiber content as well as to the compound aloe emodin. Fiber assists stool formation in the intestine, while aloe emodin stimulates the bowels and decreases pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Rhaponticin, one of rhubarb's phytonutrients, can help reduce blood sugar levels and improve other markers of diabetes. In addition, rhubarb's insoluble fiber can help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.

RHUBARB'S LAXATIVE EFFECT IS LINKED TO ITS HIGH FIBER CONTENT

Over consumption of rhubarb can aggravate existing gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea, upset stomach, or intestinal pain.

Cautions
Rhubard leaves contain oxalic acid, which is fatal in large dosages. Children should be monitored when consuming rhubarb leaves, and those who have kidney stones or other kidney diseases should either avoid rhubarb or consume it in small quantities.

While more research needs to be conducted, rhubarb's high levels of oxalic acid may be unsafe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) should not take rhubarb in medicinal doses, since it can irritate their sensitive gastrointestinal tract.

Nutritional Facts of Rhubarb
In terms of nutrition, rhubarb is regarded as a low-calorie food, with a minimal fat and sugar content but a significant amount of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber.

Additionally, rhubarb provides large amounts of B-complex vitamins, such as B2 (riboflavin) and B9 (folate). It also possess a high concentration of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, copper, calcium, and potassium

Natural Forms
Raw. While fresh rhubarb stalks are tart and sometimes bitter, but they can be consumed in small doses as an astringent, and in larger amounts as a laxative. To be used as a mild laxative, one rootstock should be soaked in cold water for eight to ten hours before consumption.

Powder. Rhubarb root powder can be mixed with water, juices, smoothies, or even morning cereal for treating both constipation and diarrhea, as well as other gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers. It also lowers blood sugar in people with hyperglycemia or diabetics.

Herbal Remedies & Supplements
Liquid extract. While rhubarb stalk's extract is marketed as a flavoring agent, for culinary purposes, rhubarb root extract have only medicinal uses, and it is often consumed for treating diabetes and digestive complains.

Capsules. Rhubarb root capsules, whether from turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) or garden rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum), can be taken for short term relief of constipation and come often mixed with other laxative herbs, such as cascara sagrada, senna, aloe vera, barberry and slippery elm.

When it comes to laxative supplements, it is recommended not to take them for more than eight days, as they can cause upset stomach and other forms of gastrointestinal distress

Stonebreaker
Stonebreaker is a seemingly unassuming herb, used for millennia to treat a variety of health conditions in both South American and Indian traditional medicine. Learn more about stonebreaker benefits and properties, as well as how it earned its descriptive name.

Health Benefits of Stonebreaker
The stonebreaker plant has been traditionally used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and it's still a hot subject of scientific research today. More studies are needed to ascertain the extent of the health benefits of stonebreaker, but its antilithic and antiviral properties give it the following medicinal uses:

Dissolving kidney stones and gallstones. Living up to its name, the stonebreaker herb aids the passage of stones and also prevents their formation.

Treating hepatitis B. Preliminary studies have shown that stonebreaker properties can stop this virus from replicating, along with protecting the liver.

In Ayurvedic traditional medicine, stonebreaker properties have been used for treating various ailments, from hiccups to leprosy. It is also a prominent herb in the Unani system of medicine, in which it is applied to wounds and sores as well as taken for relieving the symptoms of jaundice.

STONEBREAKER CAN QUELL FLARE-UPS OF GOUT BY REDUCING URIC ACID LEVELS.
How It Works
Phyllanthin is a major bioactive lignan in stonebreaker, and the most studied compound of this plant. It has been observed to have hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.

On the other hand, nirtetralin, another important lignan, is thought to be responsible for the antiviral properties of stonebreaker: studies have shown that it can inhibit replication of the hepatitis B virus and suppress its antigens, therefore enabling a speedier recovery. However, more research is needed before using nirtetralin to treat other viruses.

These lignans in stonebreaker have the ability of lowering the levels of uric acid in the blood stream, helping prevent the formation of crystals by altering their structure and composition.

Additionally, the anti-inflammatory activity of the stonebreaker plant can relax the urethra, aiding in the passage of stones.

STONEBREAKER LEAVES' EXTRACT HELPS PREVENT AND TREAT KIDNEY STONES, WHICH ARE MADE OF URIC ACID AND MINERALS, BY INHIBITING THEIR FORMATION

Herbal Remedies & Supplements
Liquid extract. This is a concentrated form of stonebreaker herb that needs to be diluted in water in order to reap it protective benefits.

Capsules. Taking stonebreak in this supplemental form is widely preferred to obtain all its medicinal properties avoiding its naturally bitter flavor
