Mint and Spearmint Gum Fights Diabetes

One of the most popular candy flavors sold today is Mint Juleps. From strip, candy bar, mint juleps to pies, ice cream, lattes and donuts, they can be found at nearly all candy stores. The wide variety is probably because this candy is so popular and easy to use. From a simple, pure sugar syrup to a rich caramel flavor, there is little that cannot be achieved with the addition of Mint.

Mint is a Latin name meaning "mint plant". DescriptionMentha is actually a genus of herbs in the botanical family Lamiaceae. It is the most common species in the mint family, which also includes oregano and spearmint. Mint is one of the least explored herbs. Many varieties are hybrids and others have been bred to produce desirable qualities such as a sweet but bitter taste or a strong aroma. Hybridization often occurs where some native species overlap, resulting in new, desirable species.

Mint is used for a variety of medicinal purposes. Some contain antimicrobial, antiseptic and expectorants, while others are used to treat upset stomach, indigestion and heartburn. Mint is an effective digestive aid because of its acidity and sweetness. Mint tea can also be consumed as a refreshing beverage on a cold winter morning. Mint is also a good source of essential oils, which are used in aromatherapy.

The primary health benefits of Mint include an increase in blood flow and circulation, stimulation of the lymph system, promotion of urination and bowel movement, digestion and absorption, increased sex drive and a calming effect on the brain. It also has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Due to the presence of a significant amount of Vitamin C, mint is considered a powerful antioxidant that plays a role in controlling free radicals and other toxins in our bodies. The citric acid in mint assists in minimizing cholesterol levels and helps to control inflammation. Mint consumption has also been associated with reduced occurrences of arthritis and depression.

The main species in the mint plant family, the Mint family (Lamiaceae or Mintaceae), consists of approximately two hundred and twenty different species worldwide. The genus Brassicaceae also includes the plantings known as buttercup, wild Mexican mint, and the Australian meadow mallow. All the species of the Mint family (Lamiaceae or Mintiaceae) are considered ecologically important and have a direct impact on human health by affecting their pollination processes and/or preventing or reducing the intensity of post-releasing chemicals known as volatile substances (VSCs). Mint is also a major crop producer, with over five thousand varieties of this aromatic herb being harvested annually.

The Latin name of mint is Morinda Citrifolia and it was recorded by the twelfth century, based on descriptions of how the mint plant was used for cooking in Spain. Mint flavored food products include chocolates, chewing gums, sweets, teas, mint jellies, jams, peppermint candies, and ice cream. Mint tea is traditionally thought to help alleviate colds and flu symptoms. However, recent studies indicate that the flavor of mint has positive benefits for those suffering from diabetes. This is primarily due to the fact that the sweetness of mint tea is similar to that of sugar and it stimulates the body's blood circulation to aid in the digestion of glucose. Clinical research indicates that the natural ingredients found in mint have positive health benefits for individuals suffering from diabetes.
