This tea protects against diabetes. Drink a glass a day, and you will quickly observe the effects

We'll read about the whole issue in the "Daily Mail". Research conducted by scientists from the University of Adelaide in Australia and Southeast University in China suggests that drinking a glass of black tea every day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 28 percent, as well as reducing the chance of a pre-diabetic condition by 15 percent. It turns out that this drink increases the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Two groups participated in the study: people who regularly drink tea and those who prefer other beverages. The results were clear: drinking this beverage makes insulin resistance decrease, and glucose excretion increase. These two things reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.

"Our findings suggest a protective effect of regular tea drinking on blood sugar control through increased glucose excretion in urine, improved insulin resistance, and therefore better blood sugar control," said Professor Tongzhi Wu from the University of Adelaide, as quoted by the "Daily Mail".
