Diabetes has become a common disease all over the world including in India, which is the root of many other diseases. Because of this, there is a danger of damage to important cells and organs of the body. Today we are telling you about such a thing by which complications caused by diabetes can be avoided.
Why does the health of diabetic patients deteriorate?
The proinflammatory microenvironment is created due to diabetes and hyperglycemia, due to which complications like nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy arise in the body.
Saffron is beneficial for diabetic patients
According to research published in the January 2022 edition of the journal 'Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and Reviews', eating saffron modulates inflammatory pathways present in the body of diabetic patients. Due to this, there is stagnation in the complications related to diabetes.
Saffron has many medicinal properties
Saffron is a plant with medicinal properties that are specially grown in Eastern countries and the Middle East. In India, it is produced in Kashmir. This is also called 'Saffron' which works as a herbal medicine, it contains elements like Safranal, Flavonoids, Crocetin, and Crocin, which relieve stress and inflammation. Which is dangerous for diabetics.
There has been a lot of research on diabetes
Dr. Arezoo Moini Jazani and his team conducted a study that examined the effect of saffron on inflammation in diabetic patients through an in vitro, animal, and clinical trial. Out of 596, 20 articles were published of which 3 were in vitro, 13 were on animals and 4 were in human studies.
Facts emerging from the study
1. Research finds that inflammatory biomarkers are largely responsible for complications associated with diabetes
2. Diabetes patients can be protected from future problems by using saffron.
Diabetic patients should eat saffron
The research author said, "The results of these studies suggest that saffron supplementation and its anti-inflammatory properties can inhibit inflammatory pathways in diabetic patients."
Why is saffron so expensive?
Saffron is produced in India only in some districts of Jammu and Kashmir, the rest is exported from abroad. Because of this, its price is very high. In India, for 1 kg of saffron, a price of more than Rs 1 lakh has to be paid.
