3 types of tea that help reduce blood sugar levels 

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.861 
The American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition published a study 

00:00:08.861 --> 00:00:10.239 
analyzing 17 clinical trials 

00:00:10.239 --> 00:00:12.919 
to evaluate the effect of
green tea on glucose control. 

00:00:13.659 --> 00:00:17.639 
Researchers found that drinking green
tea significantly reduced fasting blood sugar levels. 

00:00:17.639 --> 00:00:21.239 
and hemoglobin A1c, a protein that
carries glucose in your blood. 

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.039 
According to a study published in
the journal Preventative Medicine, 

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.867 
Participants drank black tea for 12
weeks and had their glucose and lipid 

00:00:29.867 --> 00:00:31.339 
levels tested compared to baseline. 

00:00:32.099 --> 00:00:34.399 
Black tea reduces blood sugar levels by 18%, 

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.417 
At the same time, researchers also
showed that triglycerides and a form of 

00:00:38.417 --> 00:00:41.199 
bad cholesterol called low-density
lipoprotein had a significant reduction. 

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:46.211 
The journal Diabetes Care published a
study that found that oolong tea 

00:00:46.211 --> 00:00:49.559 
significantly reduced blood sugar levels
in people with type 2 diabetes. 

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.904 
However, oolong tea consumption does not
have much effect on blood sugar 

00:00:53.904 --> 00:00:55.179 
levels in non-diabetic adults.
