The combination of sugarcane juice and winter melon helps replenish water, antioxidants and support liver function.
Winter melon contains a lot of water, vitamin C and antioxidant compounds, which help reduce the metabolic burden on the liver. Meanwhile, sugarcane juice provides natural glucose, potassium and polyphenols to help replenish energy and support mild inflammation.
According to Dr. Michael Greger, author of the book How Not to Die, foods rich in water and antioxidants from plants can help reduce oxidative stress, support liver function and the body's natural detoxification process. In addition, supplementing enough water and foods rich in antioxidants helps the liver work more effectively in detoxification.
Simple way to cook winter melon sugarcane juice:
Peel winter melon, cut into small pieces
500 ml of fresh sugarcane juice
Boil winter melon with sugarcane juice for about 15-20 minutes
Let cool, drink during the day
This drink can help cool down, support digestion and reduce the feeling of internal heat. However, sugarcane juice contains a fairly high amount of natural sugar, people with diabetes or fatty liver should use it in moderation.
Experts also recommend that sugarcane juice cooked with winter melon is only supportive. To effectively protect the liver, it is necessary to maintain a healthy diet, limit alcohol, get enough sleep and have regular health check-ups.
