VIVA – Sufferer diabetes is increasing at a very rapid rate, in part because the condition is closely linked to obesity. Health institutions around the world have made it clear that a good diet can provide the best protection against this disease.
While some foods are discouraged, other foods can help lower blood glucose. One of which is ginseng, which can be consumed in various forms and can reduce blood sugar in just 30 minutes.
The root, which is said to have anti-diabetic properties, has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in just half an hour.
One study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, noted a significant reduction in blood glucose levels 30 minutes after a group of subjects with impaired fasting glucose consumed a variety of Korean red ginseng.
This study is one of many confirming that Asian and American ginseng can lower blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes.
