     Your diet plays an important role in managing diabetes. In fact, your diet and lifestyle are important aspects of diabetes management and treatment. One reason is that the food you eat on a day to day basis has a direct impact on your blood sugar levels. For instance, high carb foods raise your blood sugar levels . The digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the blood. But then again, not all carbohydrates are bad. Complex carbohydrates like whole grains take longer to digest while simple carbs like white flour and refined sugar may cause sudden spikes in your blood sugar levels.
     Diabetics tend to have high blood sugar levels due to the inefficiency of insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, to control them.

   Here are six foods that can help in controlling your blood sugar levels naturally.

1. Barley
     A study done by Lund University in Sweden states that eating a special mixture of dietary fibres found in barley can help reduce your appetite as well as high blood sugar levels. "Whole grains like oats, brown rice or millets like jowar and ragi contain both soluble and insoluble fibre that helps with sugar control," shares Consultant Nutritionist Dr. Rupali Datta.

2. Bananas
   Accordingly to a study done by the University College Dublin in Ireland, resistant starch found in foods such as bananas, potatoes, grains and legumes, may benefit your health by aiding blood sugar control, supporting gut health and enhancing satiety. This is a form of starch that is not digested in the small intestine and is, therefore, considered a type of dietary fiber.

 3. Nuts
    Nuts contain unsaturated fats, proteins and a range of vitamins and minerals that lower cholesterol, inflammation and insulin resistance. According to a study published in the journal BMJ Open, you should include at least 50 grams of almonds, cashews, chestnuts, walnuts or pistachios in your daily diet to control high levels of blood fats (triglycerides) and sugars.

 4. Bitter gourd (Karela)
     Bitter gourd contains an insulin-like compound called Polypeptide-p or p-insulin which has been shown to control diabetes naturally. A report issued in the Journal of Chemistry & Biology gives evidence that consumption of bitter gourd tends to increase the uptake of glucose and improves glycemic control.

5. Fenugreek seeds
   In his book, "Home Doctor: Natural Healing with Herbs, Condiments and Spices", Dr. P.S Phadke recommends taking a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder and amla powder in equal quantities with warm water thrice a day to control high blood sugar levels. Dr. Rupali Datta adds, "You could consume one to two teaspoons of fenugreek seeds soaked in water every morning but those who are on insulin therapy should consult their doctor before doing so."

 6. Protein rich foods
    According to Dr. Rupali Datta, "Proteins from eggs, meat fish and chicken or from vegetarian sources like dals, paneer or besa n help control blood sugar levels. Whole dals like rajma, Kabuli chana, sabut moong, and masoor are recommended at least once daily. Studies have proven that proteins have a neutral effect on blood glucose levels."

 7. Amla
   Amla is the fruit of the Indian gooseberry tree and is a traditional remedy to control high blood sugar levels. It also contains a type of mineral called chromium which regulates carbohydrate metabolism and helps in making your body more responsive to insulin. Apart from these foods, it is important to indulge in some kind of exercise daily as physical activity is known to increase insulin sensitivity. This simply means that exercising regularly helps your body to use up the available sugar in your blood stream.

      Lemon is a yellow fruit whose pulp, juice, peel and even its zest can be exclusively used in food further the sour taste of lemon is due to the presence of 5 % to 6% of citric acid in lemon juice. This distinctive taste of lemon juice also makes it one of the important ingredients either when it is used in drinks or even food like cocktails, lemonade and soft drinks.
    Lemon juice also can be made into a preservative for certain foods which oxidize and turn brown after they are sliced like apples, bananas and avocados, it is the presence of acids which denatures the enzymes which result in browning and degradation of foods.

   Unless you happen to have been very lucky in the past, the chances are that at some point in your life, you will have felt the effects of a sore throat. Sore throats and colds and flu’s go hand in hand with one another, but still, a sore throat can strike at any time, even if you haven’t been exposed to any harmful cold or flu germs. Although sore throats aren’t life threatening, they are still very painful, and can cause you a great deal of discomfort and distress. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to suffer from sore throats frequently, then this article might very well be of some significant use to you. In it we’ll be looking at seven ways to naturally get rid of your sore throat, for good!

    We’ll be looking at cheap, easy, and natural remedies that have been tried and tested over many years, that work to destroy a sore throat before it gets chance to develop into something much more serious. So without any further ado, here are seven natural remedies for getting rid of a sore throat fast.

Gargle with plain salt water –
   Simply take a glass, fill it with warm water, and add a tea spoon of salt. Stir the salt in until it’s completely dissolved in the solution, and you’re then ready to begin gargling. Ensure the liquid reaches all the way to the back of your throat, tilt your head backwards, and then gargle with the water for around thirty seconds. When you have finished, spit the water out. Make sure you don’t swallow the liquid, as although it’s completely safe, it will still taste pretty disgusting.

Suck on medicated lozenges
   – Medicated lozenges are cheap to buy, available in most stores, and can be very effective for helping to get rid of a painful sore throat. If you want to get rid of a sore throat over night, you could try sucking on these medicated lozenges in the evening, a few hours before bed time. The medicinal ingredients will help to sterilise your mouth, and prevent the germs from regrouping whilst you are sleeping.

Gargle with Cayenne pepper –
    This is one of many fantastic home remedies for sore throats, and is proven to also be one of the most effective. Much like the salt water gargle, take a glass and fill it with around 8 ounces of warm water. Once the glass is full, add a generous pinch of Cayenne pepper, and stir until it’s fully dissolved. Make sure that you add a decent sized PINCH of Cayenne pepper, rather than a spoon full. A spoon full would be way too much, and could actually burn your throat and hurt you further, rather than help you. Once the pepper is completely dissolved, simply gargle with the solution for around a minute. This solution is especially effective against nagging sore throats that just will not go away. Where antibiotics have failed in the past to kill off a sore throat after several weeks, this cayenne pepper-warm water solution has done the job on numerous occasions.

Use over the counter painkillers such as Ibuprofen –     Although these tablets and pills do not kill off a sore throat infection, what they do, do is help to reduce the pain quite dramatically. Ask anybody who suffers from sore throats, what the worst thing is about the condition, and they’ll all tell you that it is almost certainly how painful it actually is. By getting rid of the pain, we are reducing the problem quite significantly. Before you know it, you’ll be back to your old self, wondering what all the fuss was about.

Drink plenty of water and other natural fluids –              When we say drink plenty of fluids, we don’t mean go out to the shops and pick up a six pack of beer and to start drinking. No. When we say drink plenty of fluids we mean water and natural fruit juices which are rich in Vitamin C. Water helps to thin out secretions in the throat which could be causing some irritation. Not only that, but keeping your body hydrated will help it to fight off the infection much quicker.

 Get plenty of Vitamin C –
    As we mentioned above, you should also try to get as much Vitamin C inside you as possible. Vitamin C is great for the body’s immune system, which is what helps to kill of viruses, diseases and infections. The more Vitamin C you ingest, the stronger the immune system becomes, and before you know it, it will have killed off the sore throat virus for good. Vitamin C tablets are great, as well as fruit juices and fruits such as Apples and Oranges.

Drink honey and lemon juice –
    If you’re looking for natural ways to get rid of a sore throat, it doesn’t get much more natural than honey and lemons. Honey is produced by bees rather than in a factory, and lemons grow on trees. Honey and lemon juice is arguably the most popular and effective method for curing a sore throat. Simply mix a tea spoon or two of honey, with a good squeeze of lemon juice, in a glass of warm water. You could also add a pinch of Cinnamon for a more pleasant flavour. You should drink the solution as soon as you wake up in a morning, and just before you go to bed at night as well. If lemon juice isn’t your thing then you could substitute it with Apple cider vinegar. If you are using lemon juice, make sure it’s the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon, and not the juice from out of a bottle, or one of those offensive looking, plastic lemons. The juice contained in those is packed with added artificial preservatives and additives and will do you more harm than good.

Especially in the teenage years, uncleanliness can make a person seem less approachable. And let's face it, nobody likes being stuck sitting next to someone who hasn't had a shower in two weeks on the train. Staying clean, whilst it may seem like a bit of a chore, is really important and shows respect for your body. It's all about establishing a stable hygiene routine.

    Steps
    1. Maintain good oral hygiene. One of the first things people notice about someone is their teeth and mouth. As soon as all your milk teeth have been replaced with your set of permanent teeth, its important that you look after them well as they are the only ones you will ever have! Brush your teeth twice daily, in the morning and after dinner. This is important as it scrubs away sugar that could feed off the enamel in your tooth and cause cavities. Using a good fluoride toothpaste, apply a pea-sized dollop of toothpaste onto a toothbrush. Be sure to scrub in a way that would push the 'grime' away from your gums.
   Replace your toothbrush every three or so months. Select one that is best suited for your gum type. It is recommended that you use one with soft bristles as ones with hard bristles can cause bleeding gums. Try to floss from as young an age as possible. Purchase a good dental floss from a brand you trust. Flossing removes any food that gets stuck in between your teeth which a toothbrush cannot properly reach. You do not need to floss twice a day, flossing once a day after dinner would suffice. If you are over the age of 13, invest in a good mouth wash. Use this after breakfast to kill off bad breath and make you feel fresh and cleaner instantly. Bad breath is a big no-no when it comes to personal hygiene. Listerine is a well-known brand of mouthwash which does the trick well. Ask your local dentist for any recommendations on great mouth washes.

     2. This one may seem obvious, but take showers daily! When you are relaxing after a long, hard day, it can be irresistibly tempting to go to bed straight after dinner without having a shower. Not so fast! If we didn't take showers, how else would be get rid of all the dirt and grime we project ourselves to on a daily basis? Find a shampoo and conditioner that works best with your hair type. Do you find your hair is constantly frizzy, or does it break really easy? Maybe it gets very oily during the day, or maybe there isn't much wrong with it at all! There are plenty of conditioners for different hair types on the market, so read the bottle before you buy to see if it is best suited to your hair. This also requires a bit of trial and error.
   If you aren't really sure what brand or what type of shampoo/conditioner works best for your hair, shop around a bit and try different kinds until you find one which you find works for you. Ask your hairdresser for assistance. Don't forget, it is there profession! However, if they suggest you buy one of their upper-market brands, be careful. These people are also sales persons! Plus, expensive brands do not necessarily work the best. Plenty of drugstore hair shampoos and conditioners work a lot better for some people than expensive salon types. Once you have found your ideal shampoo and conditioner, Try to wash your hair every other day. Do not wash your hair every night as it will dry it out. Always wash your hair after participating in any activities such as swimming in the ocean or in a swimming pool and remember to always use both shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair, not just one of the two.
 
    3. Find a good body wash which smells good and works well for you! Even just looking for one in your chemist or drugstore will suffice. You don't need to go and spend a fortune on this! Just find something which you like the smell of. Invest in a good razor! If you are a girl over the age of 14 or so, you should definitely consider either shaving or waxing your legs! Getting a good razor and spending a little more is probably better in the long run than buying a cheap disposable razor and getting cut seven times by it! Find a face wash which works for you.
  Acne or pimples are no fun to have around, and can make your skin red and irritated. But before you Try to pop your zits (and end up with big scars on your face), try getting a good face wash. Like shampoo and conditioners, not everyone will suit the same face wash. It all depends on your skin type. Just because your friend finds a certain brand of face wash works well for them, doesn't necessarily mean it will work the same for you. However, it doesn't hurt to try. Shop around a bit until you find something your face (and your wallet!) is happy with. Wash your face every morning after you wake up. Not only will it create a stable face washing routine, it will also help you to feel more awake and alert. Just think of it as an alternative to coffee! Make sure to tie your hair out of your face when washing it. You don't want your hair falling into the water! This includes pinning back your bangs and any other wisps of hair which might fall out. Wash your face with warm water. This will open up your pores and flush out all the dirt in them which causes zits. Careful! Don't rub your face too hard, otherwise your skin and acne will become even more irritated, making the zits redder!

   4. Use a good antiperspirant! This is extremely important as nobody wants to smell bad. Let's face it, sitting next to someone who's sweating isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. There are many different scents of deodorants you can use. Most deodorants (or antiperspirants) come in either a roll-on or spray bottle. The only difference between the two is how they are applied. Apply antiperspirant in the underarms only. If using a spray bottle, spray approximately 15 centimeters (5.9 in) away from your underarm. Find one that smells good! There's no point of using a deodorant if it smells disgusting. Whilst it may seem slightly odd to go to your friends and ask them what kind of deodorant they use, you can quietly find out what brands of deodorant they like by seeing what they keep in their bags after working out at the gym etc. Try to keep a deodorant with you if you know you'll be participating in any type of physical activity or something that you know will cause you to work up a sweat! Keep a bottle in your school locker or your gym bag just to be on the safe side. Don't use too much of it! There's no need to drench yourself in it. Don't get deodorant mixed up with perfume.

    5.Remember, when it comes to makeup, less is more! Using makeup frequently clogs up your pores, which is the cause of zits and pimples! Try to stick with the fresh-faced beauty look where possible. Love the skin you're in and you will be truly beautiful! If you need to use makeup, try to avoid sticky kinds! This will double the chances of getting pimples as it is oily and will sink into your pores easier, and that is not cleanly! Keep a simple look when using makeup. Try to stick to neutral colors. They give you a more clean look! Either do something dramatic with your eyes or lips, NOT BOTH! Your goal is to look clean and simple, not transform into a clown! Always remove makeup before you go to bed to avoid it from clogging up your pores overnight.

    6. Be sure to clean your bedroom and house often! Keep a rubbish bin in any room you might do any eating or craft-type activities in so whenever you need to throw away rubbish you have a bin to use and you're not tempted to throw it on the ground.
