Antioxidants from Red Wine and Tea, Beneficial Against Diabetes

Have red wine for dinner, while you can have tea anytime of the day.

Antioxidants from Red Wine and Tea, Beneficial Against Diabetes



Both are rich in antioxidants that are beneficial against diabetes - by regulating blood sugar levels.

Such were the suggestion of a new study from the University of Massachusetts.

Red wine might inhibit the activity of alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for triggering the absorption of glucose by the small intestine, by almost 100 per cent, according to the new laboratory study (in vitro) published in the Journal of Food Biochemistry.

The researchers also note that, out of four kinds of tea tested, black tea extracts showed the highest activity for inhibiting the enzyme.

Importantly, the Massachusetts-based researchers report no effect on the activity of alpha-amylaselinks, an enzyme responsible for starch metabolism, and an undesirable effect observed with some medications used to control blood sugar.


Hmmm...that's not hard to do right? Drinking red wine and tea, I mean. ;-)
