【菩提健康百寶箱】—糖尿病的照顧

有一種病最怕「甜蜜的誘惑」,它就是糖尿病。糖尿病由於胰島素分泌失常,免疫系統紊亂,經常會伴隨著可怕的併發症,例如:眼睛疾病、腎臟、心臟、血管、神經等…。
.
自然循環,事出皆有因。
糖尿病的成因有很多,「糖份」吃過多也是其中因素之一。
我在緬甸的時候,發現這個國家,他們的飲食習慣就是使用大量的糖,所以不少緬甸人有高血糖的現象。
.
糖尿病在「飲食」上可以注意哪些呢?
1. 盡量不吃葡萄糖、蔗糖、蜜糖等製品,例如蛋糕、糖果等。
2. 少喝果汁、沖泡式復合加工食品;主食改吃小米、小麥、糙米、蕎麥。
3. 豆類的含糖量比麵粉、大米要低許多。
4. 蔬菜中含糖少的有黃瓜、南瓜、番茄、苦瓜、洋蔥、四季豆、包菜、竹筍、白菜、芹菜、豆芽;水果則有芭樂、蘋果、梨子、草莓、木瓜、櫻桃都適合食用。
5. 堅果的含糖量也不高,能量很強,像是腰果、芝麻、核桃、榛子等,適量的食用都非常適合拿來補充營養。
6. 另外,不要飲酒,還有使用降糖藥物的人要注意預防低血糖的發生。
.
想擺脫糖尿病的糾纏,最重要的是必需多健身、運動。
我認識一位女同修,她因為患上糖尿病造成嚴重下肢癱瘓,她癱在床上已經很長時間,除了不能行動走路、眼睛也看不見了,每天只能癱在床上給人侍候,後來經人介紹菩提功法,她修練了幾個月後,竟然可以下床自己運動了,想想當初,她那個身體要是真的不動,可能二、三個月也就走了。過了十幾年,現在還在禪堂當義工服務,帶著大家一起練大光明呢。
.
我在緬甸做過試驗,發現走「八卦內功」對糖尿病,也有著非常卓越的健身效果,許多同修在堅持走八卦一段時間後,再回醫院檢查,都讓醫生非常驚訝于他們的改變,醫生慢慢減藥了,甚至不需要再吃藥,血糖幾乎恢復正常了。
.
所以,歡迎有糖尿病和高血糖的人都來走八卦吧!
願大家一起走出健康、走出快樂,走出重生的生命!
.
.

備註:
*禪修的效果會因人而異。
*菩提禪修不提倡自行停藥、減藥,請遵循醫囑。

#糖尿病、#高血糖、#八卦內功、#糖尿病、#養生、#長壽rnrn【Bodhi Meditation Health Treasure Chest】 — Diabetic Care

There is a disease that is most ‘fearful’ of “sweet temptations” – it is diabetes. Diabetes is due to defective insulin secretion and immune system disorders. It is often accompanied by adverse complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, nerves and so on.

When natural circulatory systems are disrupted, there must be a cause.
For diabetes, there are many causes – excessive sugar consumption is one of them.
When I was in Myanmar, I found that their eating habits includes a lot of high sugar content food. As a result many people of Myanmar have high blood sugar levels.

What should diabetics pay attention to and strive for in their diet?
1. Try to limit glucose, sucrose, honey and other products such as cakes, candies and the like.
2. Drink less juice, instant, re-constituted and processed foodstuffs; on staple foods, switch to millet, wheat, brown rice, and buckwheat.
3. Consume legumes that have much lower sugar content to that of flour and rice.
4. Consume suitable greens and fruits. Vegetables that contain less sugar include cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes, bitter-gourd, onion, four season beans, cabbage, bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbages, celery, and bean sprouts; fruit examples include guava, apples, pears, strawberries, papaya and cherries.
5. Supplement nutrition with appropriate amounts of nuts such as cashews, sesame seeds, walnuts and hazelnuts (except for those with nut allergies). Nuts are high in energy and have low sugar content.
6. Lastly, do not consume alcohol; people who use hypoglycemic drugs should pay attention to hypoglycemia (low sugar condition).

To steer clear of diabetes’ predicaments, it is vital that one builds up the body and also exercise regularly.
I knew a female practitioner who was paralyzed and lying on the bed for extended periods due to diabetes. She was immobile and blind due to the disease. As a result, she had to be attended to for her needs. Subsequently, she was introduced to Bodhi Meditation and after practicing for a couple of months, she could get off the bed and even exercise on her own. Thinking back, had she remained immobile, she could have departed from this world within two to three months. Now after more than 10 years, she is volunteering at Bodhi Meditation Center and also leading a group to practice the Meditation of Greater Illumination together.

I conducted an experiment in Myanmar and found that Energy Bagua has exceptional benefits against diabetes. Several Energy Bagua practitioners who had persevered with their practice for an extended period of time surprised their doctors with their physical improvements during their regular medical checkups. Gradually, their doctors reduced their prescribed medication; some no longer need medication as their blood sugar levels became normalized.

We welcome people with diabetes and high blood sugar levels to join us in Energy Bagua! May everyone practice to obtain great health, happiness, and rejuvenated life!

Note:
* The effects of meditation vary from person to person.
* Bodhi Meditation does not advocate that patients reduce or even stop taking their prescribed medication; they should follow the advice from their doctor.

立秋
──素食也能「貼秋膘」
.
.
立秋,是秋天的第一個節氣,太陽到達黃經135°,今年是陽曆8月7日,立秋意味著暑去涼來、秋天開始。
.
雖然在節氣上來講已進入了秋天,但是炎熱並未完全消退,三伏天的「末伏」就在立秋節氣裡,但往往是白天很熱,而夜晚開始變涼爽,因此要注意依時增減衣物,晚上睡覺時切莫貪涼受風。
.
立秋節,也稱七月節,古代帝王在這天會舉行祭祀儀式迎接秋天到來,民間則流行秤量體重的習俗,將體重與立夏時對比。因為人到夏天沒有什麼胃口,飲食清淡簡單,兩、三個月下來,體重一般都要減少。現在天氣轉涼爽了,胃口也好了,想增加一點營養,補償夏天的損失,這就是所謂的「貼秋膘」。
.
「貼秋膘」也不一定非要吃肉,而是通過豐富的食材,進行合理的營養搭配,彌補夏季身體虧空,儲備冬季身體能量,比如可以適當多吃些健脾益胃、強健機體的山藥,或者養陰清熱、清心安神的蓮藕,營養的豆類製品也是不錯的選擇。

Beginning of Autumn – where vegetarian dishes can ‘Add Autumn Fat’ too

The ‘Beginning of Autumn’ is the first Solar Term in the Fall season, where the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135 degree. This year the Beginning of Autumn falls on the 7th of August on the Gregorian calendar, and it signifies the end of Summer heat and the beginning of Autumn coolness.

Even though we are entering the Beginning of Autumn Solar Term, the Summer heat has not completely dissipated. Furthermore, the last period of the three hottest periods of summer falls in this solar term. Hence, the days are often extremely hot while the nights are cool and it is important not to catch a cold by adjusting the layers of clothes accordingly and keep yourself warm in bed at night.

The ‘Beginning of Autumn’ festival is also known as the 7th month festival where ancient emperors would conduct prayers and offerings session to welcome Autumn on this day. There is also a tradition of comparing one’s body weight during this time to that taken in the Beginning of Summer Solar Term. This is because during the summer months, appetite is usually compromised and people tend to eat simple light food, such that the bodyweight will drop correspondingly. When the temperature starts to drop during this period, appetites will improve significantly and it is a good time to build up one’s body weight through better nourishment so as to compensate the weight lost in summer. Hence there is this saying called ‘Adding Autumn Fat’.

‘Adding Autumn Fat’ does not necessarily mean eating meat, but it is about combining a variety of ingredients to provide sufficient nutrients to replenish the weight loss in summer and to build energy reserves for the upcoming winter season. You can consider taking an appropriate amount of wild yam, which is good for strengthening the digestive system and building a strong body. Taking lotus root is also good as it can help to clear internal heat and calm the mind. Eating nutritious beans or beans products are also good choices.

#養生、#金銀花rnrnFood for healthy living in spring season- Honeysuckle or jinyinhua (金银花)

In spring, it is common that momentary warmth is followed by a return to the cold weather. As the weather changes frequently, it is easy for one to contract respiratory diseases due to infection. Honeysuckle tea brewed with honey helps to relieve diseases due to infection of the respiratory tract, which is common during the spring season, as well as tonsillitis, influenza and other diseases. It helps to “cool the blood” and stops dysentery. It also has a diuretic effect (increasing urine production) and nourishes the liver.

Honeysuckle is a Caprifoliaceae family of dicotyledonous flowering plants (some call it snowberry). The flower of this family of plants is a “cold food” by nature, according to Chinese Medicine tradition. It has a slightly bitter taste and a light fragrance. Honeysuckle is a precious Chinese medicine. The honeysuckle tea has a bright bluish-green color with a rich fragrance. It also has a sweet taste and refreshes the lungs when consumed, with benefits of alleviation of “internal heat” and detoxification. It also has an antibacterial and anti- inflammatory function, and helps to invigorate the circulation of blood and stimulate menstrual flows.

However, one needs to take precautions so that honeysuckle tea is suitable for use at initial stage of the respective symptoms, in order to reap the intended benefits. In addition, honeysuckle tea is “cold” by nature according to Chinese Medicine tradition. This means that those who have weak spleens and stomachs and those who are having their menstruation periods should refrain from taking this tea. Finally, as with all food and beverages, the tea should only be consumed in appropriate amount and not excessively.

The following is the recipe for brewing “honeysuckle tea with honey”:

Ingredients :
Honeysuckle (sun-dried) 5 grams
Honey 5 grams
Water (boiled) 500 ml

Method :
1. Pour the honeysuckle into the teapot;
2. Add boiled water at 90-100 degC;
3. Close the lid and boil for 10 to 15 minutes;
4. Add honey gradually and stir the tea to achieve evenness;
5. The tea is now light-golden in color;
6. Pour out the tea, which is ready for serving.

【Spring Health Series ─ ─ Chrysanthemum wolf-berry tea】

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the five internal organs correspond to the four seasons. Among them, spring is categorized under the wood element, same as the liver in the human body. Thus, in spring, liver-fire is strong and so spring is also the season for frequent recurrence of liver illnesses. Therefore, to nourish the liver in spring, we need to adapt to seasonal changes to keep it in good health.

Chrysanthemum has the effect of nourishing and cleansing the liver as well as improving eyesight; both wolf-berries and hawthorn help to nourish the liver and kidney. Chrysanthemum, with wolf-berry, hawthorn, and rock sugar can be steeped into a drink which has cooling and detoxifying effect. It also helps to improve eyesight and promote younger-looking skin.

It should be noted that chrysanthemum tea is of bitter-cold nature, thus unsuitable for people with weak physical conditions. Those with stomach problems should limit the intake of chrysanthemum tea. Due to the large varieties of chrysanthemum available, many people do not know how to choose them. They tend to pick the big, white flowers. In fact, the small, unsightly yellowish chrysanthemum flowers are the best choice. The ingredients and process for making healthy wolf-berry chrysanthemum tea are as follows.

Ingredients:
Chrysanthemum, 20 pieces
Dried wolf-berries, 10 pieces
Hawthorn 3 pieces
Rock sugar 150 grams
Water 1000ml.

Methods:
1. Put chrysanthemum, wolf-berry, hawthorn and rock sugar into a teapot;
2. Pour 90-100 ℃ boiling water to it.
3. Cover and steep for about 10 minutes;
4. Enjoy.
