Natural insulin foods that Koreans are not well aware of!

There are foods known as natural insulin that surprisingly many people are not well aware of.

It's both easy to eat and easy to find, so it's a win-win.

Among natural insulin foods, burdock is the best.

Consuming burdock effectively can greatly help in blood sugar regulation and diabetes prevention.

Inulin, a water-soluble dietary fiber abundant in burdock, is not digested directly in the stomach but fermented by microorganisms in the large intestine, leading to slow absorption. This process helps prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels and the increase of sugar in the bloodstream.

It helps to combine cholesterol and excrete it out of the body.

Then, how should I eat it?

When consumed together with shiitake mushrooms, the effects become even more powerful. It is recommended to boil half a cup of dried shiitake mushrooms and half a cup of dried burdock root in 2 liters of water for 20 minutes on low heat to enjoy as tea. It is very simple to make and consume, but the effects are said to be remarkably effective in helping with diabetes.
