In the summer season, a glass of sugarcane juice gives you instant energy. Sugarcane juice has a cooling effect. It keeps the body cool. This protects you from heat stroke in summer. That is why people consume more sugarcane juice during the summer season. But there are some people for whom consumption of sugarcane juice can be harmful for their health. Let us know from experts what are the benefits and disadvantages of consuming sugarcane juice.
Benefits of sugarcane juice
Dr. Saurabh Singh (MBBS), Medical Officer of CHC Shivgarh, Rae Bareli, says that consumption of sugarcane juice is very beneficial for us during the summer season. Zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium and many other nutrients are found in abundance in it, which are very beneficial for our health. If your digestive system is weak, then you should drink sugarcane juice. The potassium present in sugarcane juice balances the pH level in the stomach. Sugarcane juice keeps people hydrated and provides relief from the problem of constipation.
Will have adverse effect on digestive system
Dr. Saurabh Singh said that policosanol present in sugarcane juice also has a bad effect on the digestive system. Due to which, along with stomach ache, problem of diarrhea can also occur. If your digestive system is weak then it would be better if you avoid sugarcane juice. Policosanol prevents blood clotting in the body. Sometimes this can prove to be very harmful for you. Because the risk of excessive bleeding increases due to injury. Therefore its consumption should be avoided.
Controls bilirubin level
Dr. Saurabh Singh says that consumption of sugarcane juice is beneficial for people who suffer from jaundice. Sugarcane juice contains antioxidants, which protect the liver from getting infected. These help in keeping the bilirubin level under control. Jaundice breaks down large amounts of protein in the body and increases bilirubin in your blood. Sugarcane juice helps in replacing the lost protein amount rapidly.
Dangerous for diabetic patients
Sugarcane juice contains about 270 calories i.e. 100 grams of sugar which is harmful for obese people and diabetes patients. Sugarcane juice has a very high glycemic load. Due to which it affects your blood sugar level. Therefore diabetic patients should not consume it.
