What Are The Reasons For Diabetes
We are going to discuss about reasons of diabetes in this blog. Many people put question what are the reasons for diabetes. Diabetes risk factors include obesity, age, sedentary lifestyle and high blood pressure. Not only these, other reasons also bring danger. Pollution, insecticides, pesticides, plastic waste, heavy metals, non-stick utensils, lack of sleep, bacteria in the intestines, and internal inflammatory processes increase the threat. That is why extensive research is going on. How do these cause diabetes? How to avoid? They are looking deeply into that. In this context, a comprehensive article on unconventional diabetes risk factors is for you.
Reasons For Diabetes
We are well aware of the risk factors and reasons for diabetes. But this is not without some difficulty. Studies conducted recently in Telugu states show that diabetes is almost the same in urban and rural areas. Even if they are thin, don’t eat too much fat, and do a lot of physical activity, diabetes seems to be more common among farmers, laborers and workers. Even if obesity is taken into account – 30% of them are suffering from diabetes. Not all diabetics are obese. Hence re-examining such traditional threat factors. The time has come to focus on different threat factors. Can Madumeha be kept under control by finding ways to prevent these? Can it be avoided? Extensive research is now going on in this aspect. All these make it clear that there is a strong relationship between non-traditional risk factors and diabetes.
A Pollution Epidemic
The biggest scourge the modern world is facing Pollution. Air, water, earth… nothing is beyond it
No. It’s health like a pandemic damaging It also leads to diabetes. breathing, All the toxins that reach the intestine through water and food Manufacture of insulin directly from the pancreas Can be blocked. The immune system is your body Can trigger an attack (autoimmune). With this Cells in the pancreas that make insulin can be damaged. Adrenaline reduces the effect of insulin. They also stimulate thyroxine and growth hormone will do As a result the metabolism of carbohydrates Disorganized. Some metals remain in the body. Particles can also get stuck in the liver. breathing the nostrils that reach the lungs are there May stay. All these are direct and indirect. They cause diabetes.
1. Air Pollution Is Major
Particulate matter (PM 2.5) with fine dust particles is not only leading to lung and heart diseases, but also diabetes. Studies show that it alters the function of the protective layer of cells and increases insulin resistance. This means that the cells become less responsive to insulin. This is evidenced by the 77.5% higher prevalence of diabetes in those living in areas with high PM 2.5 as compared to low PM 2.5 areas. Post-Covid experiences can also be cited as an example. Due to this pandemic, staying indoors and wearing masks has also reduced the effect of air pollution. Due to this, the number of diabetes and diabetes deaths also decreased. So air pollution is considered to be the main cause of diabetes. 6.5 lakh people died annually due to diabetes in our country in 2019. Out of them, about 50 thousand people got diabetes due to air pollution!
Remedy: Air pollution as much as possible
Be careful not to get infected. A nose mask should be worn when going to places with high pollution. Air pollution is caused by the burning of fossil fuels like petrol, diesel, gas, smoke from industries, open burning of waste, use of firewood, coal, firewood, cow dung gas for cooking, burning of paddy and wheat stubble in the fields after harvesting. Diabetes can be prevented if these can be reduced.
2. Danger Of Pesticides
Pesticides and fertilizers (organophosphate, organochlorine) in crop fields are another problem. Type 2 diabetes is more common among farmers and agricultural laborers who have been spraying them for a long time. It has been revealed that there is a large amount of residues of these organophosphate medicines in people suffering from diabetes. In fact, all farmers do hard agricultural work. Not fat. However, a study has shown that diabetes is three times more common among agricultural laborers than non-agricultural laborers. Most of it is the residue of deadly pesticides. When spraying insecticides, their smell and smell are mixed in the air. Some medicines dissolve in water. Some are lost underground. Inhalation, ingestion of materials containing these residues, and contamination of ground water with these enter the faeces. It is noteworthy that there are traces of these in cold drinks and milk. They also disrupt the bacteria in the intestines. As a result, glucose levels increase. This not only leads to diabetes but also creates difficulties in controlling diabetes.
Prevention method: monocrotophos, chlorpyrifos,
The government has advised against the use of deadly organophosphates and chlorine pesticides like malathion. Still widely used. This should be avoided.
3. The plastic monster
Diabetes is more common among people who work in and around plastic factories. Especially in pregnant women, thyroid inflammation is more common with diabetes. There are two main types of harmful plastic. One – Bisphenol A (BPA). It is used to make hard plastic cans and as an inner coating for metal cans. Even if we eat or drink the food stored in these, they get into our body. Second- 2- Methoxyethanol (plasticizer). When it enters the gut, it turns into methoxyacetic acid and then into tiny plastic particles. At all stages of manufacturing, transportation and use of plastic materials, their waste can enter the environment. It can enter the feces in any form through air, water, crops. Gradually, they break down into smaller particles in the body and become microplastic (smaller than 5 mm in size) and nanoplastic (smaller than 0.001 in size). They are found in all kinds of body fluids like blood, urine, spit and feces. Studies show that plastic is not only responsible for obesity, infertility, heart and nerve diseases and cancer.
Remedy: Effluents from plastic industries
The waste should be kept out of the environment. Workers working in these should take proper precautions. The government should take the initiative to stick labels on the plastic items so that everyone knows what type of plastic they contain.
4. PFS Another Problem
Another nuisance is per-poly fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). We have been using these products extensively for a long time. Non-stick cookware, flame retardant foam, stain-resistant furniture are all made from it. These are chemicals that last forever. Once they reach the intestine, they remain intact without breaking down.
Remedy: Use non-stick utensils as much as possible
It is better not to use it. If used, choose good quality ones. Non-stick containers are now being designed so that PFASs do not melt when heated and do not mix with food. Similar things have become available abroad. If possible, such nonstick utensils should be used.
5. Burden of heavy metals
Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, methyl mercury, organotin in industrial wastes are also becoming dangerous. It has been found that they live in rivers, canals, ponds and groundwater. Vegetables and crops grown with this water reach our stomach. It has been found that human blood, urine, scalp hair and nails are present in large amounts (more than ten times the limit allowed by the World Health Organization).
Prevention: Heavy metals, their compounds
(salts) are dissolved in water. There is nothing individual can do about these. Government and voluntary organizations should take initiative to ensure that these do not end up in rivers, canals and ponds and take appropriate measures at industries.
Intestinal Bacteria Are A Big Problem
Studies strongly suggest that the microbes in the intestines are also involved in the development of diabetes. These germs may include viruses, but the majority are bacteria. Their genes are 150 times more than human genes! They are spread throughout the digestive tract. Otherwise there are more at the end of the large intestine. The microbes in the intestines are not the same in one person as in another. Each one is special. Like fingerprints, it can be considered as a unique identification symbol. Of these – some are good, some are harmful. Good bacteria help in the digestion of the food eaten, the absorption of the nutrients in the digested food by the intestines, and the conversion of these into energy. But harmful bacteria can damage the cells in the intestinal walls, causing gaps to form between them (leaky gut). Due to this, harmful substances are mixed in the blood. They induce low-grade inflammation in the body. It affects liver, pancreas, brain more. This indirectly causes diabetes.
Precautions to be taken
1. Right Way To Eat Food
Eating the right food improves the structure of the intestinal walls. It increases short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and promotes the growth of bacteria that help regulate glucose.
SCFA dosage also increases with exercise. It contributes to bacterial diversity. It also inhibits the inflammatory process by reducing branched chain amino acids. It also reduces the toxic levels produced in the cells.
* Diabetic medicines can also ensure that intestinal microbes are not damaged. Their diversity will also improve. As a result, SCFA production increases. So people with diabetes must take medicines regularly.
Vegetarian and Indian-style dishes support the growth of good bacteria in the intestines. It should be known that bad bacteria grow more with western foods, antibiotic drugs and excessive drinking of alcohol. Studies strongly suggest that inflammation is the root cause of chronic problems like diabetes. Obesity.. Anger, pain, depression, apathy etc. trigger it. In obese people, cytokines (adipokines) that stimulate the inflammatory process are produced from fat accumulated around the waist and in the abdomen. They arise from fat cells that accumulate in the fatty liver and around the ureters. If the dose is high, the swelling process starts. Food habits can also be the reason for this. Eating less fruits and vegetables.. Eating more meat.. Using trans fats (hydrogenated oils) like margarine.. Skimmed milk, dairy products.. Other than domestic butter and ghee, non-conventional cheeses and creams.. Bakery ingredients. .Baked and fried foods..packaged snacks (processed snacks)..all these can trigger the inflammatory process. These can start the inflammatory process without having anything to do with obesity.
Even with insomnia..
Insomnia is the second most important non-conventional risk factor after pollution. It has two types.
1. Sleeping for a short time. People who sleep less than 7 hours a night are at increased risk of insulin resistance. This increases blood glucose and leads to diabetes. Glucose control can also be difficult in people who already have diabetes. Weight and blood pressure increase with lack of sleep. Immune system function is also impaired. All these increase the risk of diabetes.
2. Sleep disturbances. Even if you sleep for 8 hours a day, some people wake up to chatter. It can be caused by emotions, anger, pain, depression, low water content in the blood, diuretics, unaccustomed physical activity, alcohol, changes in weather and artificial sweeteners. This increases the doses of hormones such as steroids and thyroxine that resist insulin in the camel. As a result, insulin resistance increases and the risk of diabetes increases.
* Make sure to sleep at least 7 hours a day. Factors that cause sleep disruption should be identified and reduced.
