Natural Beverage for diabetics

It’s well known that dark, mellow Pu'er tea reduces blood fat, lowers cholesterol, aids in weight loss and assists digestion.
Research shows that regularly drinking Pu'er, made from broad leaf tea in southwest China, has additional health benefits.
Experts at the recent China Pu'er Tea Festival in Shanghai reported that to some extent, Pu'er can work as secondary therapy for certain disease conditions caused by diabetes.
To find out more about Pu'er's effectiveness, research was carried out in Pu'er city in Yunnan Province, where virtually all China's Pu'er tea is grown.
Professor Sheng Jun, vice president of Yunnan Agriculture University, said at the festival in Shanghai that for one year 520 patients drank 1g "instant" Pu'er with 200ml water three times a day, half an hour before meals.
Results showed drinking the tea helped relieve symptoms of more than 70 percent of patients with dyslipidemia, an abnormal amount of lipids (cholesterol and/or fat) in the blood, which usually leads to diabetes.
