10 Benefits of Saffron
Saffron Benefit #6: Helps Control Diabetes
Significant levels of manganese are found in saffron. Manganese can help the body balance blood sugar levels. Maintaining the levels of blood sugar in the body can also help regulate the amount of insulin released from the pancreas. Thus, a person is less likely to develop type 2 diabetes and more likely to manage symptoms if already afflicted.
Furthermore, research suggests that saffron has possible antidiabetic properties and potential therapeutic effects on those who have diabetes. The combination of resistance training and saffron consumption significantly reduced the cholesterol levels of diabetic rats.
