Green Smoothie for Diabetes

Benefits of Green Smoothie for Diabetes, BP, heart disease

We all know the importance of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables, and many of you would probably insist that you already eat vegetables with every meal. But how much nutrition are you actually getting from these vegetable dishes?

The chances are. Zero. Hard to believe?

Here’s the truth.

When we cook food, yes, even a quick stir-fry, we diminish several nutrients and destroy many others, outright. Not just vitamins and minerals but a group of nutrients known as phytonutrients— flavonoids, carotenoids, and alkaloids. You may have heard these words before.

What does a green smoothie do for your body?

All green smoothie recipes are not created equal. Some, in fact, can be harmful to your health especially if you suffer from diabetes or a similar insulin-resistance-related disorder.

It all depends on what you put into your green smoothie. A number of green smoothie recipes use milk or yogurt as their base. And this is a definite no-no. Milk and milk products, yes, including yogurt, are very high in fat. And it is the accumulation of fat that sabotages your efforts—diet and exercise.

Power-packed nutrients

As we saw earlier, phytonutrients are the body’s nuclear weapon against antioxidants. The smoothie phytonutrient-rich composition helps your body fight free radicals and eliminate inflammation in the body.

The greens in the super smoothie contain live enzymes. These are naturally present in green veggies and are necessary for the body to extract nutrition from the macro-nutrients that we consume: carbs, protein, fats. But when you cook your greens you end up completely killing all the live enzymes in the food.

So by simply blending the greens, the smoothie delivers the maximum nutrition possible from the greens. One more power-packed nutrient in the smoothie is chlorophyll.

Green Smoothie Benefits

The super green smoothie’s ingredients: greens, fruit, herbs, spices, and a group of special ingredients make it naturally alkaline. This reduces acidity in the body, which in turn reduces inflammation and improves insulin sensitivity.

1. Lowers BSL

• The alkaline nature of the smoothes reduces acid in the body, and inflammation, thus improving insulin action


• Phytochemicals in the smoothie also reduce inflammation

2. Improves BP

• Consumption of fruit and vegetables improves systolic and diastolic blood pressure


• Phytochemicals in the smoothie reduce both systolic and diastolic pressure

3. Reduces Risks from Cardiovascular Disease

• The smoothie contains flavonoids, which are proven to inhibit platelet accumulation, and inhibit LDL oxidation.


• They reduce the formation of blood clots--which are the main cause of heart attacks


• Phytochemicals in the smoothie, are anti-oxidative, i.e. they reduce/prevent damage from inflammation and free radicals

4. Enables Weight Loss

• It creates a feeling of satiety (fullness) due to the increase in fiber intake


• The sensation of fullness or satiety has been proven to reduce the consumption of undesirable food
