According to Deepti Khatuja, a nutritionist at Fortis Hospital in Gurgaon, India, diabetic patients can drink guava leaf tea. Drinking this tea helps control blood sugar levels. Guava leaves act as a tonic for diabetics, helping to improve insulin levels.
For diabetic patients, drinking guava leaf tea after meals is more effective. However, it can also be drunk in the morning.
According to India TV News , the mixing method is as follows:
Take 5-10 fresh guava leaves and rinse them under running water. Pour 1.5 cups (350 ml) of water into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Then, add the guava leaves and simmer for 5 minutes. For a more palatable drink, you can add ½ teaspoon of regular tea leaves. After simmering for 10 minutes, add more water and strain.
If you don't want to brew it like tea, you can wash 2-3 guava leaves and chew them on an empty stomach in the morning. This will be beneficial for diabetics. Alternatively, you can also consume guava leaves by drying them and making them into powder.
In addition, guava leaves have another important benefit: controlling cholesterol levels and helping to eliminate accumulated cholesterol.
