Thanks to this amount of nutrients, sugarcane juice helps replenish energy quickly, improve skin health, boost immunity and aid digestion. For healthy people, drinking a moderate amount of sugarcane juice is a nutritious thirst quencher, especially when made from fresh sugarcane, without added artificial sugar or chemicals.
Sugarcane juice has many benefits but you should not drink too much.
Although sugarcane juice has many benefits, drinking too much, especially in summer, can lead to many health problems. Sugarcane juice contains a very high amount of natural sugar, averaging about 13-15 grams of sugar per 100 ml.
Drinking too much sugar will cause a calorie surplus, causing weight gain and excess fat accumulation. This condition, when combined with a sedentary lifestyle, will increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the long term.
In addition, drinking too much sugarcane juice at once also causes a sudden increase in blood sugar, putting pressure on the pancreas and negatively affecting people with diabetes or prediabetes. Drinking sugarcane juice that is too sweet also increases the risk of tooth decay.
Moreover, some people experience bloating and indigestion after drinking sugarcane juice. The reason is that the high sugar content in sugarcane juice stimulates intestinal bacteria to overgrow, causing an imbalance in the microflora.
Experts recommend that people with diabetes, obesity or at risk of metabolic diseases should be especially careful when drinking sugarcane juice. Due to its high sugar content, sugarcane juice can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, causing adverse health fluctuations.
Children and the elderly should also limit their intake of sugarcane juice. Their digestive systems are not or are no longer functioning optimally, which can easily lead to blood sugar and digestive problems.
In addition, people with liver, kidney or cardiovascular problems should consult a doctor before drinking sugarcane juice regularly.
How much sugarcane juice is enough?
To enjoy the benefits of sugarcane juice without causing negative effects, experts recommend drinking sugarcane juice in moderation, about 200-250 ml per day and avoid drinking too much at one time. Prioritize choosing fresh, clean sugarcane juice, without added sugar or preservatives, according to Medical News Today.
