What kind of tea can lower blood sugar?

If a friend's blood sugar is slightly high, he or she should pay attention to regulating his or her body. If the high blood sugar condition is relatively mild, it can be relieved by drinking some ingredients soaked in water. The effect is also very good. For example, soaking dried bitter gourd in water, green poplar and coix seed tea, mulberry leaf tea, etc., all have a very significant effect on lowering blood pressure.

1. Soak bitter melon in water

Method: Take an appropriate amount of dried bitter melon slices, brew with boiling water for about 5 minutes, and then drink. Slightly bitter, but don't add sugar, just hang on.

Efficacy: Modern scientists have extracted some oral insulin drugs from bitter melon. These substances can effectively lower blood sugar levels after entering the body. For many diabetic patients, this is a very good method.

2. Cyclocarya paliurus and Job's tears tea

Preparation method: 10g of Cyperus paliurus and 15g of Coix seeds. Soak the coix seeds for 2 hours in advance, then boil them in water and drink. You can brew tea bags, one tea bag at a time, 3 times a day.

Efficacy: Cyclocarya paliurus and coix seed tea cannot directly lower blood sugar concentration, but it can repair the pancreas and promote the secretion of insulin. It can reduce medication and the number of insulin injections. It is a very practical and safe recipe.

3. Mulberry leaf tea

Method: Take an appropriate amount of old dried mulberry leaves, cut them into small pieces, add hot water and brew for drinking. Drinking it one hour after a meal can help control blood sugar levels when full.

Efficacy: The ecdysterone contained in mulberry leaves has the effect of lowering blood sugar after entering the body, and can also effectively promote the conversion of excess glucose in the body into glycogen, but it will not affect the normal blood sugar required. Regular drinking has a good inhibitory and therapeutic effect on some diseases with high blood sugar.

4. Guava soaked in water
