Can drinking a gallon of water a day cure diabetes? |
I have type 2 diabetes and I have eliminated all sugar, flour and salt products. I am now a transitioning to become a raw foodist. I currently drink a gallon of water per day...is it safe? I am not over weight, I am 5'10" and weigh 198 pounds. A gallon of water will NOT cure diabetes. For someone your height you should be closer to 170 pounds by my charts.......You can try raw foods if you like but the food you eat is converted to lipids, proteins,and sugars regardless of the source your body can and will convert lipids, and proteins to sugar to maintain a blood sugar level You cna help your self best by consulting with a good nutritionist and working closely with your doctor. No it will not cure it. Also you can actually overdose on water if you get really extreme with it. You can flush out bacteria needed in your liver and kidneys for them to properly work and cause serious problems. It will not cure it. There is no cure for diabetes; there are only controls. It sounds like you are trying to control diabetes with diet. good luck There is no cure for Diabetes and I think if drinking a gallon of water a day were a cure they would have already found that one by now. Not only will it not cure your diabetes, it is unsafe and could kill you by screwing up your electrolyte balance. Going to raw foods, or particular foods, won't help, although you will need to follow your physician's advice with respect to foods that contain sugars. By my reckoning, you are overweight by about 20 pounds, but again check with your physician. Bottom line: it's insulin shots and blood tests from here on out. No cure for Diabetes you can only manage Diabetes. Life style correction is what you need along with controled diet. No, drinking water will not cure diabetes..A gallon of water per day at your weight is safe..the main thing with drinking to much water is flushing out potassium..something needed to make organs function properly..That's why some diuretic pills that doctors give patients contain potassium..But if you think it's to much water, eat a banana or potato every day.. both are loaded with potassium. Diabetes is a tough thing to deal with just try and eat right..And make sure to exercise daily you would be surprised the difference it can make in your glucose levels!! Also losing 10% of your total body weight can help.. Good luck.. |
