Green tea may help regulate blood sugar

Green tea is a potent antioxidant, thanks to its primary active ingredient: Catechins.

In addition to helping to fight against free radical damage, green tea also shows promise in helping people with diabetes.

In a randomized crossover trial, published recently in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Japanese researchers discovered that when people with elevated blood glucose levels consumed a green tea extract, containing 456mg of catechins, daily for two months, they experienced a significant reduction in their hemoglobin A1C levels.
