Improve Your Glucose Control with Green Tea

 Don't risk poor health! Increased inflammation is a risk factor for all chronic diseases. Poor glucose control is tissue destructive and will increase low grade inflammation. You need to improve your insulin sensitivity to increase glucose control. 

 

If you want to feel great and function well, you need to do all you can to be as insulin sensitive as possible.

 

The reviewed research shows us an easy way to help improve insulin sensitivity which leads to better glucose control. These researchers looked at data from seventeen randomized controlled studies that evaluated the effects of green tea and green tea extract on glucose control and insulin sensitivity(Liu K,et.al.,2013).

 

Green tea significantly reduced fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c, a measure of long term glucose control.

 

If you don't like drinking green tea, there is an easy way to get all the benefits! Take it as a capsule in a concentrated form. Just be sure what you are taking is not contaminated from pesticides. To learn more click here.
