High blood sugar irritates and damages the walls of blood vessels, which can be prevented.

In addition, the consumption of citrus-flavored beverages has been shown to have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Not only does it prevent dehydration, it also helps the kidneys get rid of excess sugar in the blood.

Observational research, cited in the National Library of Medicine, found that drinking lemon-flavored water reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Experts from Medical News Today point out that lemonade is one of the best drinks for diabetics.

Lemon water does not contain sugar, which means that the risk of high blood sugar is significantly reduced. This drink is very hydrated and you are less likely to eat unhealthy snacks, which can cause high blood sugar levels.

Health risks of high blood sugar

By maintaining a healthy blood sugar level, you are effectively improving your chances of longevity.

The NHS stressed that uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (and high blood sugar) can lead to heart disease and stroke.

And by drinking lemon water, the risk of high blood sugar is reduced, thus reducing the risk of serious stroke.

However, to properly manage blood sugar levels requires more than just drinking lemon juice.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show warning signs of high blood sugar. Which:

Feeling very tired.

Feeling thirsty.

Blurred vision.

Need to urinate frequently.

The CDC strongly recommends drinking water instead of juice or soda to help keep blood sugar levels under control.

In terms of diet, it is best to “eat at regular intervals and not miss meals”.

Also the foods you eat should be low in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and salt.

Good blood sugar control requires at least 150 minutes of regular exercise each week.
