NEERA BEST NATURAL COLD DRINK.

Health benefits of Neera

A recent study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore shows that neera can help cure liver diseases. The study proves that neera is particularly useful in treating liver diseases following consumption of alcohol. The magical property of neera to remove “acetaldehyde” (the toxic metabolic product of ethanol causing liver damage) was proven in the study. It has also been shown to boost the activity of a normally functioning liver.

Neera is safe and perhaps the best health drink for persons suffering from diabetes. This is because of it’s low glycemic index (GI). The GI is a measure of how quickly and how high a particular food item raises the blood sugar level by releasing glucose into the blood stream. The use of neera and it’s by products gives the same sweetness without causing spikes in blood sugar level compared to the traditional sweetening agents.

It has been studied for use in medical conditions like asthma, tuberculosis and urinary tract infections.

Neera is rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. The role of potassium in lowering blood pressure has already been discussed here. It can be given as a natural supplement of these minerals in conditions like iron deficiency anaemias and zinc deficiency.

Another advantage of neera is that, it’s a rich source of Vitamin B complex, Vitamin A and Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The anti-oxidant property of these vitamins and the neutral pH makes neera a natural detoxifying health drink.

Apart from the minerals and vitamins, the sweet drink is rich in glutting acid (amino acid) which is necessary for protein synthesis.
