When it comes to treating diabetes and High blood pressure, home remedies continue to be the most efficient treatment option.

Digital Desk: High blood pressure and diabetes affect millions of people worldwide, so keeping them under control is important as the two health diseases can lead to many other problems.  

When it comes to treating diabetes and High blood pressure, home remedies continue to be the most efficient treatment option.

Here is a simple combination of three leaves that, when eaten first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, can help regulate diabetes and high blood pressure.

• Tulsi Leaves 

Tulsi is known as the "Queen of Herbs" since it protects our bodies from various ailments. Multiple studies have found that consuming Tulsi leaves on an empty stomach lowers glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Tulsi leaves are also reported to help prevent cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing hypertension, and suppressing ischemia and stroke.

Note: Tulsi has a lot of mercury and iron, both of which are released when we chew it. These minerals can cause discoloration and damage to the teeth. Tulsi leaves are acidic in nature, which can weaken tooth enamel if consumed in excessive numbers. So, it's preferable to combine these leaves with some water before consuming them. Curry Patta Leaves 

• Curry Patta Leaves

Curry patta leaves, also known as meethi neem in Hindi, are a staple in Indian cuisine. The leaves have a variety of health benefits in addition to adding aroma to your dish.

Curry leaves can help to stimulate insulin-producing cells when consumed regularly. These cells aid in the control of blood sugar levels.

• Neem Leaves 

Neem leaves have several health benefits as well. There is evidence that eating neem leaves daily can help reduce blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, keep a close eye on your blood sugar levels as, in rare cases, too much consumption can cause your blood sugar levels to drop too low. In this instance, you may need to reduce your diabetes medication.

Neem leaves' antihistamine properties might cause blood vessels to widen. This is why these leaves can assist in the reduction of blood pressure.

For a month, using neem extract or pills can help to lower high cholesterol levels.
