Wine is not only an essential condiment in everyday life, it is also an excellent health food. There are many folk recipes made with wine. Studies have shown that wine can help improve the condition of people with diabetes, especially for people with first-onset diabetes. People who drink 20ml of cider with food have 35% lower blood sugar than those who do not drink cider, and they feel less hungry. In 2007, a study also found that drinking two tablespoons of apple cider before bedtime lowered blood sugar by 4-6% the next morning.
Apples are the most nutritious fruit. It is rich in amino acids, vitamins, pectin, minerals and other essential elements. When it is mixed with wine, it becomes cider. Cider is rich in enzymes and citric acid, which can effectively lower cholesterol, promote fat metabolism, and prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, cider is a nutritious and effective health product for lowering blood sugar.
However, diabetic patients should pay attention to the following points when drinking cider: 1. Drink fruit wines, such as cider and wine, with an alcohol content of not less than 5%. 2.
2. Do not drink too much cider. It is advisable to limit the amount of cider to 10ml-20ml at a time. it is best to drink water before meals. If it does not contain sugar, you can drink 15ml.
3. Diabetic diet control should not be abolished. Do not stop taking other medications to treat your diabetes. After all, cider is not a medicine and cannot replace regular blood sugar medication. It is important to note that cider is only a health product or condiment and can be used as a minor folk remedy, but not as a substitute for blood sugar medication. It is irresponsible for some finished ciders to be advertised as a substitute for glucose-lowering drugs or even a complete cure for diabetes.
Now, let us show you how to make apple cider: 1. 1000g of apples, 300ml of rice wine, 50g of honey, a large glass jar or a large glass container that can be sealed. Wash and dry the apples, do not peel them, cut them with a knife into thin slices 3 mm thick, then mix the honey and wine, lay a layer of apple slices in a large glass, pour a layer of mead, then a layer of fruit slices and repeat the above steps. Seal the bottle when it’s full. Make sure you seal it well, otherwise the apples will rot. Open in a week. How to take: Drink before meals and bedtime. 10ml (a little more than a tablespoon) before meals, mix with warm water and drink directly. Because you have an empty stomach before going to bed, you should drink less to reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. You can drink about 5ml. Remember to drink it with warm water.
Other benefits: The acidic content of the cider is bactericidal and helps to eliminate toxins from joints, blood vessels and organs. Long-term consumption can regulate blood pressure, smooth blood vessels, lower blood lipids, fight cancer, lose weight, and help treat arthritis and gout. However, for people who react strongly to acidic substances, long-term consumption of cider or apple cider can cause some damage to the gastric mucosa. Contraindications: 1. Alcoholic acid promotes the secretion of stomach acid. People with weak stomach mucosa should avoid drinking it on an empty stomach.2. Some people have low tolerance to alcoholic acid, so it is best to drink it sparingly or not at all.3. Patients with potassium deficiency or osteoporosis should not drink it.4. Moderate consumption of cider has a good hypoglycemic effect, but diabetics should not drink too much. As honey contains a low concentration of simple sugars, excessive consumption can easily lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar, affecting the control of diabetes.
