This sugar often comes from sugar substitutes like sucrose, which could increase blood sugar levels. However, since iced tea is made using tea leaves \u2014 a rich source of polyphenols with antioxidant properties, it can boost your heart health and enhance your immunity. Keep in mind a few things, and you can enjoy it worry-free. <\/p>\n<p>Making iced tea better for sugar control<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider having a sugar-free or no-sugar iced tea; it\u2019ll keep you hydrated without causing a spike in your blood glucose levels.<br \/>\n\u2022 Iced tea mixes have a high sugar content, so consider swapping them for a light iced tea at home; it\u2019ll help you control the sugar you consume.<br \/>\n\u2022 Try a sugar-free alternative to iced tea. Sugarless lime with soda, cold herbal teas, and kombucha are equally good and do not cause blood sugar spikes.<br \/>\n\u2022 Having it with a few nuts or protein-rich snacks will help to control sugar spikes. Healthy fats and proteins will slow down the release of glucose in the bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p>Iced tea is a great way to hydrate yourself. Iced tea is rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and catechins. This helps to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicles. It also improves your immune system. You can enjoy all these benefits without causing a sugar spike by choosing a healthier version of the iced tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cool Down with Iced Tea, Minus the Sugar Highs!
