Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the best drink to improve insulin resistance throughout the day, which is green tea. This is due to its ability to block the absorption of fructose, which contributes to insulin resistance. The video refers to a study showing that consuming pure fructose drinks leads to massive decreases in fatty acid oxidation, insulin sensitivity, and energy expenditure compared to glucose drinks. This leads to more fat stored in muscles, which causes insulin resistance. The video explains that EGCG, the main compound in green tea, directly blocks the transporter for fructose, meaning less fructose is absorbed. Drinking green tea on an empty stomach can stimulate metabolic processes that help burn fat, reversing the effects of fructose. Alternatively, sipping green tea alongside carbohydrates or consuming fruits such as cranberries, strawberries, cherries, and blackberries (which contain EGCG) can help mitigate fructose’s effects on insulin resistance.

1 Cup of This Drink Daily Lowers Blood Sugar
If you’re looking for a way to naturally lower your blood sugar levels, you may want to start incorporating this drink into your daily routine. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of a specific beverage and learn how it can help keep your blood sugar levels in check.
Fructose vs. Glucose Sweetened Beverages
A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that consuming green tea before sipping a fructose-sweetened beverage reduced the rise in blood glucose levels by 20 percent. This is significant because fructose is known to impact significantly blood sugar levels, mainly when consumed in high amounts.
Glucose, on the other hand, is known to raise blood sugar levels more quickly than fructose. Consuming green tea before sipping a glucose-sweetened beverage did not seem to have the same effect on blood sugar levels, according to the same study.
The Role of Green Tea
So, what makes green tea so effective in lowering blood sugar levels? The answer lies in the polyphenols found in the tea. These polyphenols help increase insulin sensitivity, which means your body can use insulin to lower blood sugar levels.
Green tea is also known to improve other markers of metabolic health, such as reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels.
Additional Foods
In addition to green tea, there are other foods you can incorporate into your diet to help keep your blood sugar levels in check. For example, cinnamon has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fasting blood glucose levels.
Berries, like blueberries and strawberries, are also beneficial for controlling blood sugar. They are low in sugar and high in fiber, making them a great snack option for those with diabetes.
The Bottom Line
Lowering blood sugar levels can be challenging, but incorporating certain foods and beverages into your daily routine can help. Green tea, cinnamon, and berries are just some foods that may help control blood sugar levels.
So, why not give it a try? Incorporating a cup of green tea into your morning routine could be just what you need to check your blood sugar levels. And be sure to use code THOMAS for 10% off Timeline Nutrition’s MitoPure to help support your overall health and wellness journey.
