The Juice That Can Lower Blood Sugar Levels
Did you know blueberries may help lower your blood glucose levels and insulin resistance?
A study in Canada had overweight men that were at risk of heart disease and diabetes, drink 1 cup of wild blueberry juice daily for 3 weeks. At the end, they found their blood glucose had dropped by approximately 10% and their insulin resistance decreased, as compared to a control group that drank a placebo juice.
Researchers theorized the benefits might stem from the high levels of anthocyanins in the juice and it’s beneficial effects on the pancreas. Frozen wild berries also worked as well.
