The Most Affordable Product For Lowering Blood Sugar
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
Eating onions can significantly lower blood sugar levels and fight type 2 diabetes. This conclusion was reached by endocrinologists as a result of a study presented at the 97th annual meeting of the Endocrinological Society in San Diego.
Scientists have found that Allium cepa onion extract can reduce high blood sugar levels when taken with the drug metformin, which is the main drug in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. So, at a dose of onion extract of 400 and 600 milligrams, blood sugar levels in experimental rodents decreased by 50 and 35 percent, respectively.
“Onion is a cheap and affordable product. It has the potential to be used in the treatment of patients with diabetes,” said lead researcher Anthony Oji.
In addition, this vegetable is able to reduce high cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart disease. So far, researchers cannot describe the exact mechanism why this vegetable acts in this way on the body.
Earlier, nurse Sean Marchese said that exercising, introducing fiber-rich foods and probiotics into the diet will help reduce blood sugar levels. Food portions, Marchese explained, are better to reduce, since bulky meals can cause a spike in blood sugar. He also advised to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the diet and, in particular, products from starch.
