Mango juice contains mainly sucrose, a sweet natural sugar, but is also rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and some antioxidants.
Thanks to that, it not only provides quick energy but also helps balance electrolytes, reducing fatigue.
According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, phenolic compounds in sugarcane water can help reduce oxidative stress, one of the factors that increase the risk of complications in diabetics.
Strawberry juice has an average glycemic index (about 43), much lower than industrial soft drinks. This means that when consumed properly, sugarcane juice does not cause a sudden increase in blood sugar as many people mistakenly believe.
Natural sugars from plants such as sugarcane juice, if used in combination with fiber or protein, will slow down the absorption of glucose, helping to maintain more stable blood sugar.
To take advantage of the benefits and limit risks, people with blood sugar problems need to pay attention to some principles:
Don't drink when hungry
Drinking sugarcane juice on an empty stomach can easily cause blood sugar to rise rapidly. It is best to eat after meals or with fiber-rich foods such as green vegetables and whole wheat bread.
Combined with lemon or ginger
Adding a few drops of lemon juice or fresh ginger slices not only enhances the flavor but also helps improve the ability to metabolize sugar, reducing the feeling of sweetness.
Drink enough
Each time, you should only take about 100-150 ml, up to 2-3 times/week. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar after taking it to adjust the appropriate dosage.
Avoid sugar or syrup with sugarcane juice
Adding sweeteners will increase the glycemic index, causing counterproductive effects.
