To be healthy, it is important to regulate your blood sugar, especially if you have diabetes. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly helps lower blood glucose levels, but certain beverages may also be beneficial.
Okra juice
Among them, there is in particular Okra juice. According to several studies, this vegetable native to Africa helps control diabetes. And this, thanks in part to its richness in soluble fibers. These line the intestine and slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
The water
On the list of beverages to consume, there is also water. Indeed, drinking enough water – about 1.5 liters per day, or 8 glasses – prevents dehydration, cleanses the kidneys and eliminates potential excess sugar in the blood via urine.
