Tequila lovers, we have great news for you: it appears that tequila has the same feelings for you that you do. or more particularly, your well-being. Tequila has several beneficial health effects when drank in moderation, although its adverse consequences when consumed excessively have received considerable media attention. That’s good news since, without a little tequila, a hot summer day with a prickly pear margarita or a Casamigos tequila wouldn’t be the same.
If you appreciate tequila as much as the next person, create your favorite cocktail, pour yourself a drink, and enjoy these health benefits while sipping slowly.
- It Is Appropriate For Diabetics
Researchers have found that tequila has health benefits for those with type 2 diabetes. The natural sugars in agave, known as agavins, cannot be metabolized, therefore blood sugar levels won’t rise. While lowering blood sugar levels, can increase insulin production.
- The Colon Is Cleaned
Tequila comes from the blue agave plant. Non-digestible fructans are present in this plant. The fight against colon cancer is encouraged by this. In the fight against illnesses including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome, researchers have used fructans to help in the delivery of drugs to the colon.
- It May Facilitate Weight Loss
Tequila is unbeatable in both the eating and drinking categories. Even though it could be a stretch, it has been demonstrated that tequila drinking shrinks the waist. According to a report given at the 247th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, the same agavins that treat diabetes also treat obesity. According to the explanation, the agavins behave like dietary fiber, and everybody who has ever attempted to lose weight is aware that fiber promotes weight reduction. Enhance your metabolism!
- It Fights Alzheimer’s
Do you insist on singing along to an Alanis Morissette song at karaoke when you suddenly remember what happened last night? Maybe you should have stuck to tequila, and by tequila, mean one drink only. Studies show that tequila in moderation may aid in the fight against dementia. You’ll be back on stage singing who knows what the next Friday night if you go too far, though.
- It Supports Digestion
Like a fine aperitif, tequila can help with digestion. There is evidence that drinking before a meal makes people hungrier. Additionally, a drink after a meal can help with digestion. That explains why you always want to eat chips and salsa after drinking a margarita during happy hour.
- It Is Bacterial
Probiotics, which are present in foods like kimchi and yogurt, are thought to help the body’s good bacteria balance in the digestive tract. Tequila also contains probiotics due to its fructans, just like kimchi and yogurt do. To benefit from these probiotics, however, you must drink in moderation. If you overeat, you’ll need to drink kefir or kombucha the next day to help your digestive system recover.
- Cold-Buster Is It
The next time a cold start to develop and you grab an Emergen-C packet, pour one into a shot of tequila. No, this is not some fad cocktail. Tequila was advocated by medical professionals in Mexico in the 1930s as a cure for the common cold. Their version lacked Emergen-C but included tequila Blanco, lime, and agave nectar. An effective immune system emerges.
The idea behind this mixture is that the agave will soothe a sore throat, the lime will provide vitamin C, and the tequila will fight microorganisms. Since we already drink a Hot Toddy to treat a cold, why not tequila? It might be challenging to find a doctor who will prescribe it in the United States right now.
