Scientists at the University of Sydney (Australia) found that the substances gingerols, which are part of the spicy root, improve the uptake of glucose by muscle cells without the use of insulin and, therefore, can help manage high blood sugar levels. that ginger has a low glycemic index (GI). Low GI foods break down slowly and don't spike your blood sugar. Such products are an important part of a healthy balanced diet, scientists say.
