Sometimes, keeping your blood sugar balanced is as simple as staying hydrated with the right ingredients. This cool and refreshing cucumber-mint detox water isn’t just delicious—it’s loaded with compounds that may help lower glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Why It Works
This drink is packed with nutrients and natural compounds that work together to support better metabolic health:
- Cucumber: Hydrating and rich in fiber, cucumbers help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
- Fresh Mint: Calming to the digestive system and may help regulate insulin levels.
- Fenugreek Seeds: Long used in traditional medicine, fenugreek may help improve insulin function and lower fasting glucose.
- Lime Juice: Like lemon, lime is high in antioxidants and can aid in reducing post-meal blood sugar spikes.
- Chilled Water: Keeps you hydrated and helps flush excess sugar from the body.
Cucumber-Mint Glucose Support Water
Ingredients:
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- A handful of fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (optional, but powerful)
- Juice of ½ lime
- 2–3 cups cold filtered water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Add cucumber slices, mint leaves, and fenugreek seeds to a large mason jar or pitcher.
- Pour in the lime juice and cold water.
- Let it steep for at least 1 hour in the fridge (or overnight for a stronger infusion).
- Stir or shake before pouring. Strain if desired.
- Serve over ice and sip throughout the day.
When to Drink It
This is a great all-day hydration drink. You can refill your pitcher with water once or twice more using the same ingredients. Drinking it consistently may help support better glucose control over time.
Bonus Tip
If you’re not a fan of fenugreek’s earthy flavor, try adding a cinnamon stick instead for a hint of sweetness and additional blood sugar support.
