Insulin Resistance Herbs
Recent studies have shown that Chinese herbs have a strong anti-diabetic effect, improving the most common signs of insulin imbalance and regulating blood sugar levels. Adding specific herbs and spices to your food can reduce blood glucose, for example:
- Fenugreek seeds: These seeds are high in fiber, which helps make insulin more effective. You can eat them whole or baked into bread to decrease insulin levels and regulate blood sugar.
- Turmeric: Thanks to its active component called curcumin, turmeric has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps you regulate glucose levels by decreasing free fatty acids and sugar in the blood.
- Ginger: This spice is excellent for those with insulin resistance since its active components make the sugar receptors on muscle cells more available.
- Garlic: We might not be aware of the benefits of this everyday ingredient, which significantly reduces blood sugar levels.
- Cinnamon: Apart from being incredibly delicious, cinnamon has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help treat insulin imbalance.
- Green tea: Green tea is excellent for those with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes since it helps maintain healthy insulin levels.
