Here's to your Health: This Natural Drink Has Helped Diabetic Iranians
Health and Science Blog, Kodoom.com
According to a scientific study, a natural drink has helped many diabetic or pre-diabetic Iranians demonstrate a significant decrease in blood sugar serum levels. According to research by the University of Tabriz, Iranians who regularly drank probiotic-rich Kefir (milk fermented by mesophilic bacteria at close to room temperatures) have a lower blood sugar versus those who drink Doogh (the salty drink based on yogurt, which is milk fermented with thermophilic bacteria at 49 degrees of centigrade).
The incidence of Type 2 Diabetes around the world is on the rise and in Iran, about 7.7 percent of adults suffer from Type 2 diabetic with another 16.8 percent or 4.4 million suffering impaired fasting glucose levels. The disease is associated with long-term damage in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
As reported in the Iranian Journal of Public Health , a team of scientists from the University of Tabriz studied 60 Type 2 Diabetic patients aged 35 to 65 years. Each group drank a daily amount of 2.5 cups of Kefir vs Dough. The thinking behind the results is that Kefir, which is rich in the probiotics: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteriais may improve insulin resistance by reducing inflammation in the body.
The study also measured the effect of Kefir on cholesterol. However, no significant results were shown to improve either the serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL- cholesterol levels.
Commercial store kefir brands, while pricey, may not offer the full spectrum of benefits of home-made kefir using raw lightly pasteurized whole organic milk from free range cows. You can check HERE for more information on how to make your own healthy Kefir.
Cheers! To Your Health!
