Effective blood sugar control with garlic oil
Garlic oil is a potent, concentrated oil derived from garlic cloves through processes such as steam distillation and soaking garlic in a carrier oil. Garlic oil has many health benefits, contributing to effective blood sugar control.
Research published in the Journal of Medicinal Plant Research has shown that garlic oil can improve insulin sensitivity, meaning that the body’s cells become more receptive to insulin. Improved insulin sensitivity allows for more efficient absorption of glucose from the bloodstream, helping to control blood sugar levels. This can be especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as it can help control blood sugar fluctuations and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
How to use garlic oil to control blood sugar?
(1) Cooking: Garlic oil is commonly used as a flavoring agent in a variety of dishes. Garlic oil can be drizzled over vegetables, pasta, banh mi, or used as a cooking agent for stir-fried, sauteed, or grilled dishes.
(2) Salad Dressing: Garlic oil adds richness to salad dressings. Mix garlic oil with olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and a little salt and pepper. Garlic oil in salad dressings not only adds flavor, but also supports heart health and the immune system.
(3) Add to soups: Garlic oil is a great seasoning for soups and broths. Garlic oil can be drizzled over hot soups just before serving.
Although garlic oil has many health benefits and can help control blood sugar, it should be used in moderation to avoid side effects such as irritation of the digestive system, leading to heartburn, bloating, flatulence, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea...
