Bottle Gourd for Diabetes

The explosion of diabetes cases across the world is a matter of grave concern. India, with almost 93 million cases of diabetes, is one of the worst afflicted. Conventional allopathic treatment, which defines diabetes as an incurable disease, depends on the medication, which usually increases steadily and almost inevitably ends in Insulin dependency.

Bottle Gourd (Lauki) Health Benefits

Reduces blood sugar levels (BSL)

Bottle gourd contains a negligible quantity of glucose, and almost zero carbohydrates, making it an ideal diabetic food. It also contains ~8% fibre, which slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream and helps keep BSL stable.

Bottle gourd has diuretic properties—increases urination, which is good for diabetics, as urination is the process whereby the body disposes off excess glucose. With 90% water content, bottle gourd is also a good way to stay hydrated.

2. Reduces constipation

The high water-fibre content in bottle gourd helps avoid constipation by softening stools and regulating bowel movement.
