The diabetesa disease that affects millions of people around the world, is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. If not treated in time, it can lead to serious health complications. The good news is that, in addition to conventional medical treatments, certain habits and natural remedies can help prevent or control the disease.
A recent study from the University of Adelaide, Australia, has found that cRegular consumption of black or red tea could be an effective tool to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Researchers analyzed data from more than 5,000 adults and found that those who drank black or red tea daily were 53% less likely to develop prediabetes and 4% less likely to have type 2 diabetes compared to those who did not consume this drink.
The study suggests that black or red tea increases urinary glucose excretion, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, this infusion contains polyphenols, compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that could protect the body’s cells from damage caused by excess sugar.
How much black or red tea should I drink per day?
The researchers did not specify an exact amount of black or red tea to obtain the mentioned benefits. However, it is recommended to consume 2 to 3 cups of tea a day as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
Importantly, this study does not establish a direct causal relationship between black or red tea consumption and the prevention of type 2 diabetes. More research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the optimal amount of tea for the best results.
