Benefits of squash for lowering blood sugar and weight loss

According to scientific research, squash is not only a nutritious food but also helps lower blood sugar and lose weight.

Several medical studies from reputable medical research organizations have shown the benefits of squash in improving health, especially for diabetics and those who want to control their weight.

Luffa contains high levels of fiber, especially soluble fiber, which helps regulate digestion and reduce the absorption of sugar in the intestines. Soluble fiber can reduce blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, helping to prevent a sudden spike in blood sugar after meals. This is especially beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes, when the body cannot control blood sugar levels effectively.

Studies from the World Health Organization also show that adding high-fiber fruits and vegetables to your diet can help you lose weight effectively. Luffa is low in calories and has a low glycemic index, helping to maintain stable energy levels without increasing blood sugar. By replacing foods high in sugar and fat with luffa, you can reduce your calorie intake while still feeling full longer, thereby helping you control your weight.

Another study conducted at the US National Institute of Nutrition demonstrated that consuming hypoglycemic foods such as squash can help improve insulin sensitivity. Components in squash such as flavonoids and antioxidant compounds have the ability to protect the beta cells of the pancreas, helping to improve the body's ability to produce insulin.

Luffa is not only nutritious but also has a significant effect in lowering blood sugar and losing weight. Regular consumption of luffa, especially in dishes made from luffa such as soup, boiled luffa can help diabetics control blood sugar and help those who want to lose weight maintain a healthy, balanced diet.
