Grapefruit can help lower blood sugar

Grapefruit can help lower blood sugar:

According to the British "Daily Telegraph" reported that Israeli
scientists have discovered that eating grapefruit can help
hypoglycemic. Naringenin is an antioxidant, which makes grapefruit has
a unique bitter taste. Studies have shown that it can improve the
body's sensitivity to insulin, but also to diabetic patients to
maintain weight within the normal range. People after eating,
naringenin allow the liver to burn more fat, not storing too much fat.
Finally, you can play a similar naringenin fenofibrate (a lipid
lowering drug) and rosiglitazone (a hypoglycemic agents) role. The
researchers believe that naringenin for the development of diabetes
drugs has brought new hope.
