"Bitter melon increases insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas,
called beta cells. These beta cells are thought ot help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of glucose, says Nancy Welliver, ND, a naturopathic doctor and director of the institute of Medical Herbalism in Calistoga, CA. You can make the biter melon juice by running the fruit through a juicer or by blending it with a little water until it is thin enough to drink. Drink 2 oz of juice twice a day. It's available in the US at Asian markets." |
