Diabetic patients should avoid excess cane juice.
Excessive consumption of sugarcane juice can cause adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy and abdominal pain.
Do you frequently drink various juices during the intense heat, especially sugar cane juice, and plenty of them? In that case, you should be careful right now. According to the latest guidelines from the Indian Council of Medical Research, excessive consumption of sugarcane juice during summer can have numerous negative effects. According to recommendations, nothing else can satisfy your thirst than water.
You should reduce your sugarcane juice consumption immediately if you prefer sugarcane juice more because your body may suffer from it. How does the body react negatively to excessive consumption of sugarcane juice? To know the exact reason, News18 spoke to Dr. Priyanka Rohatgi, founder and director of an American nutrition company, focusing on this issue.
According to Dr. Priyanka Rohatgi, sugarcane juice contains natural sugar that can be beneficial for us. Apart from this, the chemical policosanol is also present in it. Policosanol is unique because it facilitates the breakdown of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), facilitating their easy elimination from the body by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. However, policosanol damages the digestive system if there is an excessive amount in the body. Therefore, consuming too much sugarcane juice can lead to adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and abdominal pain.
According to Dr. Rohatgi, diabetic patients should avoid consuming excessive amounts of sugarcane juice due to its high glycemic load. Therefore, their blood sugar level may increase if they drink too much sugarcane juice. In contrast, those without diabetes will be more likely to develop insulin resistance.
She advises those suffering from fatty liver disease to minimize consumption of sugarcane juice. Since sugarcane juice can exacerbate fatty liver. Most people in India suffer from fatty liver disease. On the other hand, the high carbohydrate content of sugarcane juice is well known. Carbohydrates make up the majority of calories. Consuming more cane juice will make you gain weight because it contains calories that you will not burn.
Since sugarcane juice draws water from the body, excessive consumption should be avoided during hot weather. Sugarcane juice has a higher sugar level, so keep this in mind if you drink too much. This implies that for cane juice to be metabolized or digested, a higher concentration of carbohydrates will be present. A deficiency of water in the body can be due to excessive consumption in summer. You will have to deal with many other problems during the summer due to dehydration.
Sugarcane juice can generate enterotoxins, so cleanliness should be kept in mind when consuming it, according to Dr. Priyanka Rohatgi. If hygiene is not maintained, bacteria can be created. This bacteria can cause staph infections when it enters the stomach. Therefore, the recommendation establishes that the consumption of cane juice should be reduced in summer. Also, limit your consumption of soda and other drinks with added sugar. Drink buttermilk, lemonade, fresh fruit juice, coconut water, etc. instead of these products.
