What kind of juice will help you lose weight
It turned out that elderberry juice can improve metabolism. A study by Washington State University (WSU) found that drinking 340 grams of elderberry juice daily for one week can improve metabolism.
The clinical trial involved 18 overweight adults, half of whom drank elderberry juice and the other half received a placebo. All of them followed a standardized diet.
Those who consumed elderberry juice noticed positive changes in the gut microbiome, namely an increase in "good" bacteria and a decrease in "bad" bacteria.
It is a healthy gut microbiome that is necessary for the absorption of nutrients and supports physical and mental health.
In addition, the researchers found that elderberry juice reduced participants' blood glucose levels by an average of 24%.
This indicates a significantly improved ability to process sugar after carbohydrate consumption, and a 9% reduction in insulin levels.
The biggest finding of the study is elderberry's ability to help burn fat.
Those who consumed the juice "showed significantly increased fat oxidation or fatty acid breakdown after a high-carbohydrate meal and during exercise."
Researchers attribute this to the high concentration of anthocyanins in elderberries. According to the Cleveland Clinic, anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid (or plant-derived compound) with antioxidant properties that occur naturally in purple fruits and vegetables.
They can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and generally help relieve oxidative stress on cells.
