Mulberry leaf tea is a simple and effective way to reduce blood pressure, it does not affect the blood sugar level of diabetic patients, and can play an all-round effect of lowering blood sugar. In addition, mulberry leaf with its unique medicine, food dual-use resources, is popular with consumers, natural and non-toxic is the reason why many consumers choose it. For diabetic patients, often drinking mulberry leaf water can safely lower the blood sugar index. Experts suggest that drinking mulberry leaf water in moderation is beneficial to diabetic patients to lower blood sugar.
In ancient China, Chinese medicine took mulberry leaves as a medicine to treat diabetes. It was recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that mulberry leaves have the effects of "decocting with juice instead of tea to stop thirst" and "decocting with moxibustion instead of tea to quench thirst". In recent years, researchers have systematically studied and analyzed the composition, function and mechanism of action of mulberry leaves, and found that mulberry leaves are rich in amino acids, food fiber, vitamins, minerals and a variety of physiological active substances, which have good effects on reducing blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure, and mulberry leaves have various health care functions such as delaying aging.
Foreign experts have done such experiments: isolate six alkaloids from mulberry leaves, determine their molecular structure, and then inject these compounds into diabetic mice. The results show that these compounds have obvious hypoglycemic effect, and alkaloids and polysaccharides have the strongest effect. DNJ, an alkaloid in mulberry leaves, inhibits the activity of disaccharide decomposing enzymes, thus reducing the absorption of disaccharides by small intestine and reducing the increase of postprandial blood sugar. Moreover, mulberry leaf polysaccharides can promote pancreatic cells to secrete insulin, which can promote the utilization of sugar by cells and the synthesis of glycogen in liver, all of which are beneficial to reduce blood sugar.
Another group of experiments show that mulberry leaf tea is safe and non-toxic. If 10% mulberry leaf injection is injected into mice, the acute toxicity caused by it is very small; 10% mulberry leaf injection (60 times of human dosage) was injected into mice continuously for 21 days, which did not cause liver injury in mice; In addition, in the local experimental stimulation, such as dripping 10% mulberry leaf extract into conjunctival sac, there was no adverse reaction. These pharmacological studies have shown that taking mulberry leaf tea frequently is a safe and reliable method to reduce blood sugar.
In recent years, the number of people suffering from diabetes is increasing year by year, and its pathogenesis may be caused by unreasonable diet or insufficient exercise, obesity and stress reaction. At the beginning of illness, there may be no special reaction, but when it is serious, it will cause kidney damage, retinopathy and nerve damage. At the same time, it will be accompanied by some complications, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, which can directly cause life-threatening myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence probability of diabetic complications, diabetic patients must pay attention to it in their daily diet. Among them, mulberry leaf tea can be used as an antihypertensive drug and a daily drink, and its dual-purpose effects are conducive to lowering blood sugar. Therefore, mulberry leaf tea can be used as a diet for diabetic patients.
In addition, mulberry leaf tea not only has the effect of lowering blood sugar, but also has the effect of dispersing wind-heat and clearing liver. Mulberry leaves not only have good curative effect, but also have mild medicinal properties. Even if people with poor constitution often drink it, it is no harm, but it is not suitable for people with cold, pale mouth, cough and white phlegm.
