TEQUILA FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Consumption of alcohol is harmful to health, but recent research concluded that drinking tequila can help in weight loss. You must be wondering this as a joke but it is not so. Read for the details given below:

Overview:

Tequila is made from blue agave, a plant found in in the sandy soils of Mexico which contain sugars called agavins. This sugar agavins is non-digestible thereby not raising your blood sugar when you consume. This drink is named after the city Tequila which develops a large quantity of agave.

Agavins: How does it help in weight loss:

According to research conducted by American Chemical society in 2014, a sugar found in agave plant lowers blood sugar. This research was conducted on mice as you are aware that most of the researches are tried on the creatures first before moving on to human beings.

During the study, researchers found that the mice with standard diet and water with agavins sugar  ended up eating less and lower blood sugar as compared to the ones without agavins.

They also found that the agavins produces a hormone called GLP-1, which keeps the stomach full and produces insulin which can help type 2 diabetes patients or the ones who have weight loss related issues.

Why Tequila aids weight loss:

The reason behind is that the agavins are not absorbed by the body like the other types of sugars such as fructose or sucrose. As you know sugar raises blood sugar level but in this case, it doesn’t. And note that this is only true with straight tequila.

So the lab research indicates that a shot of tequila not only lowers blood sugar level but acts as an appetite suppressant. The fiber in tequila makes you feel a full stomach for a longer time.

How much tequila you should take:

Tequila is made for agavins, a non-digestible sugar product, which helps in weight loss.  The point over here is how much this sugar, agavin, is found in the finished product called Tequila. None as the agavins are converted to ethanol during the process in making tequila.

Now the question is how a shot of tequila can help in weight loss when there are no agavins in it. Most of the tequila made as per US regulations have 51% agave and some other sugars which causes a hangover. For weight loss benefits the agave content has to be 100% and this tequila is made in Mexico as they have regulation to make from agave only.

Research shows that a shot of tequila with dinner keeps glucose level low in blood and acts as an appetite suppressant.

Conclusion:

It is not necessary to drink each day with supper for weight loss results you’re searching for but you can also enjoy a shot of tequila with your friends. Or maybe this study reveals that the individuals who need weight loss doesn’t need to surrender the enjoyments for achieving this weight loss.
