3. Diabetes
Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing threats to public health, especially in countries like the United States where obesity rates are rapidly rising and thus increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Dandelion is a natural diuretic which means it can help you urinate more often. It does this by helping your bladder fill up and empty out more often, thus increasing the rate at which it cycles.
By urinating more often, you’ll be able to reduce the amount of sugar in your blood which can, in turn, relieve some of the symptoms associated with hyperglycemia — also known as high glucose. You might worry that your blood sugar will drop too low if you have too much dandelion tea. However, dandelion actually helps your body regulate blood sugar meaning you’ll stay in the sweet spot rather than dropping too low or rising too high.
