Drinking more green tea has the opportunity to help gut health! Drinking green tea helps maintain cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar. According to the latest research, green tea also benefits the gut.
Taipei, TAIWAN (Merxwire) - Do you like drinking tea? Whether it is to help digestion after a meal or to cool off in hot weather, tea has become one of the most popular beverages for modern people. But tea is more than just a drink. According to a new study, drinking 5 cups of green tea a month can reduce high blood sugar and improve intestinal inflammation and Leaky Gut Syndrome.
In a study published in Current Developments in Nutrition, Ohio State University invited 40 people to conduct a 3-month randomized, double-blind clinical trial, including 21 patients with metabolic syndrome and ten healthy individuals. During the experiment, the subjects took catechin-containing gummies for 28 consecutive days; the daily dose was equivalent to 5 cups of green tea (approximately equal to 1200ml green tea), then stopped for one month, and then retook the placebo for 28 days.
The experimental results showed that both groups had symptoms of lowering fasting blood sugar and intestinal inflammation, indicating that catechins are helpful for patients with metabolic syndrome and healthy adults. The research team believes that compared with taking a placebo, the fasting blood sugar of all subjects after taking catechin gummies was significantly lower, and the level of pro-inflammatory proteins was found to decrease through stool examination, indicating that green tea can improve fasting blood sugar, reduce Intestinal inflammation.
Not only that, after ingesting green tea, the permeability of the small intestine of the participants decreased, indicating that green tea has the opportunity to help patients with metabolic syndrome (Metabolic Syndrome) reduce symptoms. Because gut bacteria often enter the human bloodstream through gut permeability or leaky gut and stimulate chronic inflammation in the body, the research team found that all participants had a reduction in gut inflammation after taking catechins.
Currently, more than 1/3 of Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, facing the crisis of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. One of the study members, Richard Bruno, a professor of human nutrition at Ohio State University, pointed out that as early as 2019, experimental rodent studies had found that catechins have beneficial effects on gut health and are speculated to slow cardiometabolic diseases. This study goes a step further to illustrate the benefits of green tea on the gut.
