Green Tea and Papaya could prevent Diabetes

Green tea & fermented papaya are preventive means for diabetes, researchers have concluded.
The Mauritius Green tea prevents an increase of sugar levels in blood while the fermented papaya helps positively to reduce the level of the reactive protein C & the uric acid.

The researchers said, that the results are very significant because they show a reduction of risk factors for diabetes & cardiovascular diseases without medical intervention.

The researchers asked 77 participants, who had reached a pre-diabetic stage to drink 3 cups of green tea before meals for 14 weeks. Apart from this, 78 participants took 3 cups of hot water everyday for the same period, followed by a 2 week weaning period.

Later, all the participants were tested for the bio-markers such as rate of glycemia & lipid, immune system, functioning of liver & kidneys, inflammation & ferrous toxicity.

It was discovered that green tea reinforced the anti-oxidant defences of those who had reached the prediabetic stage. And most importantly, the tea didn't have any negative impact.

Another group of 127 participated in the study on the impact of fermented papaya on diabetes.

Out of these, 50 consumed 2 packets of fermented papaya per day for a period for 14 weeks & 77 others took 2 glasses of hot water each day for the same period, followed by a 2 week weaning period.

Then, they were tested for glycemia, cholesterol, urea, creatinine & uric acid.

Those who consumed 2 packets of fermented papaya showed several positive changes vis a vis the diabetes risk factors. The results further showed that when taken in small doses, the fermented papaya could help in the promotion of oral hygiene.
