If you’ve got diabetes, you’re probably doing everything in your power to get rid of it.

And if you don’t have diabetes, you’re probably doing everything in your power to NEVER get it.

No matter what your situation, I’ve got great news for you! There’s a safe, easy and inexpensive way to sink high blood sugar levels that’s often overlooked by doctors. All you have to do is drink more tea…

Addressing high blood sugar is not only essential to heart health, but it’s critical to your longevity. Especially since people with Type-2 diabetes have a shorter lifespan than those who don’t suffer from high blood sugar. Research reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows that diabetics lose at least six years off their lifespan when compared to non-diabetics.

While blood sugar-lowering medications have their place, there are also a number of natural solutions to high blood sugar. One of them is tea.

How Tea Can Lower Your Blood Sugar 

Numerous studies suggest that drinking tea can lower blood sugar. But if you want to get the maximum effects, you have to be sure to drink the perfect amount. How much is just right?

New research from Wuhan University in China gives us the answer. For the study, researchers analyzed the health of more than one million participants from 19 studies looking for a connection between tea consumption and diabetes.

At the end, the scientists found that folks who drank one to three cups a day lowered their diabetes risk by just four percent.

But when people drank just one more – for a total of four – the diabetes protection level rose to a whopping 17 percent. This means drinking four cups of tea daily – one at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and before bed, for example – could help beat back one of the world’s deadliest diseases.

And there’s more good news!

The research team reports that these diabetes-defeating powers apply to black, green or oolong varieties. This means no matter your favorite type of tea, you’re still getting the same health benefits.

“Our findings suggest drinking tea is beneficial in reducing the risk of Type-2 diabetes, but only at high doses — at least four cups a day,” says lead author Xiaying Li, of Wuhan University of Science and Technology in China. “It is possible that particular components in tea, such as polyphenols, may reduce blood glucose levels, but a sufficient amount of these bioactive compounds may be needed to be effective. It may also explain why we did not find an association between tea drinking and Type-2 diabetes in our cohort study, because we did not look at higher tea consumption.”1

Lower Blood Sugar is Only the Beginning… 

Tea has been touted for centuries for its wide variety of health benefits. Studies show that drinking tea can help you fight cancer, boost immunity, and even help you live longer.2

In fact, back in April of this year, tea was hailed as “the world’s greatest health drink.” New findings showed that drinking two to four cups of tea daily could reduce the risk of a number of serious illnesses.3

This means that if you’re not already drinking tea, now is the time to start.

You can get tea at your local grocer or through online retailers. Be sure to select organic varieties so that you’re getting the maximum level of health benefits without pesticides or other dangerous chemicals.

If you think drinking four cups in a day will be a challenge, there’s another way to take tea – supplement form. Supplements of green tea extract are widely available online and in health food stores.
