Doctors from the UK have introduced 3 drinks that help keep blood sugar levels under control.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body struggles to produce enough insulin. When this happens, blood sugar levels can rise to dangerous levels, which is ultimately associated with a number of complications.

To reduce the risks, doctors advise minimizing the consumption of salt, fatty and processed foods, and sugar in the diet. As a result of the research, it turned out that tea is a simple, inexpensive means of preventing or slowing down the development of this disease.

Scientists noted that further observations are needed to see which – black or green – is better in this regard.

The second recommended drink is unsalted tomato juice. This was proven by Japanese scientists who involved 481 participants in the experiment. Volunteers had to drink it regularly for a year.

According to the research, blood pressure decreased by an average of 3% in 94 participants with diagnosed hypertension. Improvements in blood sugar levels were also found.

Experts included kombucha in the same list, which has a positive effect on both blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Other examples of fermented foods include plain yogurt, kimchi, miso, and tempeh.

Alcohol is not a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but it can be high in calories, which can lead to weight gain, which increases the risk of the disease. Doctors advise avoiding beer, ale, and cider, and instead drinking dry wine in moderation.
