According to research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, kudzu contains isoflavone, a natural form of phytoestrogen that can regulate blood sugar, helping to prevent sudden increases in sugar after meals. Isoflavones also have antioxidant effects, protect blood vessel walls, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications in people with blood sugar disorders.
kudzu powder is also rich in resistant starch, when entering the body, it will be digested slowly, helps you feel full longer and maintains stable blood sugar levels. This is why many experts recommend that people with diabetes can supplement kudzu as part of their sugar control diet.
Dr. Mark Hyman, an American nutritionist, said: Fods rich in resistant starch such as kudzu have the effect of feeding intestinal beneficial bacteria, improving sleep by regulating the nervous system and producing serotonin, an important neurotransmitter for sleep.
For effectiveness, kudzu powder should be mixed with warm water or cooked water to cool, you can add a little honey instead of refined sugar. Elderly people or people with stomach problems should not drink it too much or on an empty stomach to avoid indigestion.
Combining the habit of drinking kudzu powder in moderation with a healthy diet, low in sugar, sleeping on time and exercising regularly will bring double benefits: both keeping blood sugar stable and improving sleep quality.
