Helps Manage Type 2 Diabetes
Worldwide, more than 1 in 10 people have diabetes, and 90% to 95% have type 2 diabetes. It is characterized by insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels, which also cause several complications that could lead to an untimely demise. For example, people with type 2 diabetics typically develop nervous, circulatory, and immune conditions. In addition, when the body cannot use glucose properly, certain body functions become impaired, leading to different complications that hinder people’s lifestyles.
Studies have shown that drinking kombucha slows the digestion of carbohydrates, leading to lower blood sugar levels. As a result, researchers believe that regular intake of kombucha coupled with the proper diet could help control the onset of complications brought about by the condition. They also determined that people who drank kombucha made from green tea had an 18% lower chance of becoming diabetic.
Other studies have shown that lactic acid bacteria and other probiotics in kombucha improve overall gut health. Better gut health means the body can use carbohydrates properly, leading to a more stable blood sugar level.
