Eat, Drink, and Make Your Blood Sugar Merry
All those holiday leftovers and New Year’s party plates can do a real number on your blood sugar. But here’s a drink that may help fix that: chamomile tea.
A Floral Phenomenon
The flower-infused brew is already credited with a catchall of remedy powers -- easing anxiety, menstrual cramps, insomnia, and skin problems. The newest potential benefit of chamomile was uncovered during animal research. Extracts of chamomile helped steady blood sugar and also guarded against enzymes involved in diabetes complications. More studies are needed to see if chamomile tea does the same for blood sugar in humans. But we already know that drinking tea is one of the best health habits around -- so it won’t hurt if you’re drinking chamomile ahead of the curve.
Blood Sugar Basics
When you’re looking for proven blood sugar control techniques, start with a balanced, portion-controlled diet that’s rich in fiber, veggies, and fruit and low in processed foods and sugars
