10 Benefits of Reishi
Reishi Benefit #8: Combats Diabetes
Type II Diabetes occurs when an individual has become insulin resistant and is no longer able to produce enough insulin to bring down blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels can lead to numerous health issues such as blindness, kidney disease, and in severe cases, coma. Individuals with diabetes must watch their carbohydrate levels as they have the greatest effect on blood sugar levels.
Reishi helps combat diabetes through its inhibiting action toward the enzyme responsible for digesting starches into sugars. This inhibition is good because the spike in blood sugar levels after a meal is decreased. Reishi supplements have also been linked to wound healing in diabetics.
