Can diabetics drink cold boiled water to lower blood sugar? Japanese research finds out the truth

The current survey data shows that more and more people suffer from diabetes in daily life. It has already exceeded 100 million in large countries, and the incidence of diabetes in the world can reach more than 400 million. Therefore, the prevention of diabetes and the control of blood sugar have received much attention.

Correspondingly, there is also a lot of talk and research on diabetes. Today, let's take a look at a very popular statement recently. Some people say that "diabetic patients can lower blood sugar by drinking cold boiled water for tea?" Is this true?

Cool boiled water, as the name suggests, refers to boiled water that is kept cool. Among various water resources, this water is the most affordable and has the best hydrating effect. As long as people with healthy stomach and intestines have no obvious digestive tract discomfort after drinking cold boiled water, they can drink it with confidence.

In recent years, tea has also been sought after by many middle-aged and elderly people. It is believed that when drinking tea, the beneficial components in tea can play a role, and even want to rely on tea to lower blood sugar and resist cancer. Most people choose hot water to make tea, or directly boil the tea leaves in the hot water and drink it.

But what is this cold boiled water brewing tea like? Scientists in Japan have done experiments and found that the tea leaves in the cold boiled water have more polysaccharides, especially rough tea (thick tea refers to tea with old leaves, such as bamboo leaves, willow leaves, pear leaves, etc. ), with the highest content of polysaccharides.

For common tea leaves, such as green tea and black tea, green tea has higher polysaccharides, followed by black tea. This substance has been found to have the ability to improve tolerance in people with diabetes and promote insulin synthesis. The reason why cold water is used to make tea is because polysaccharides do not have the ability to resist heat.

From a nutritional point of view, there are more flavonoids in various teas, as well as phytochemical components, such as catechins, various enzymes, etc., which are beneficial to delaying the aging of the body and resisting inflammation. It can be seen that tea is a healthy drink.

But on the whole, the conclusions drawn from this experiment have not been finally confirmed. At least from the current medical point of view, the most effective drugs for diabetic patients are hypoglycemic drugs, or insulin. For drinking tea, it can be used as a daily health care, but it does not have the ability to lower blood sugar.

In addition, studies have found that people who drink tea are more likely to develop esophageal cancer than people who don’t drink tea regularly. The reason for this has nothing to do with the way people drink tea, especially those who like to drink it hot.

Because the temperature of the tea exceeds 65 degrees Celsius, it is easy to burn the esophageal mucosa and increase the probability of people suffering from esophageal cancer. Therefore, people who like to drink tea should also pay attention to the temperature of the tea, so as not to cause trouble to their health.
