Health benefits of sugarcane.

The simple sucrose in sugarcane juice gives an instant energy boost, doesn't cause tooth decay, and is beneficial for diabetics too. Sugarcane juice can also serve as a sports drink, thanks to its minerals. The iron in it can prevent iron deficiency anemia. On top of that, sugarcane juice has antioxidants that fight free radical damage in the body and slow down the spread of cancer cells.

If you’ve ever spent a hot day outdoors and been handed a glass of freshly pressed sugarcane juice, you know what heaven feels like! Rarely is something so delicious and good for you at the same time, but that’s exactly what a glass of sugarcane juice serves up!

1. Gives An Energy Boost
The long fibrous stalk of the sugarcane plant is rich in sucrose, a simple form of sugar. Sugarcane is integral to making many food items like molasses and jaggery, apart from being consumed as a juice, usually freshly pressed in small hand mills. Being sucrose-rich, it is easily absorbed by the body and can give an instant boost when you’re low on sugar or if you’re dehydrated.

2. Has Antioxidants
Sugarcane juice is a go-to beverage in the tropics and sub-tropics. But it can be more than just a refreshing drink – thanks to its significant antioxidant properties. The phenols and flavanols allow sugarcane juice to scavenge free radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation. Studies show that these properties make it efficient in fighting jaundice and liver disorders and protecting against DNA damaged by radiation.

3. Slows Down Cancer
In the fight against cancer, anything that acts as an antiproliferative agent –working to prevent or retard the spread of cells, especially malignant ones, into surrounding tissues – is a useful ally. Turns out sugarcane juice has a flavonoid (tricin-7-O-β-(6″-methoxycinnamic)-glucoside) that can help do just that. Its antioxidant strength helps it to slow down the spread of malignant cells and fight several cancer cell lines.

4. Prevents And Treats Anemia
Sugarcane juice is also full of iron-rich sugar. This opens up the possibility of using it as a sweet substitute that can also raise iron levels, especially among children. Iron deficiency anemia is the most widespread nutritional problem in the world, with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) stats showing that more than 750 million of the 2 billion who are impacted are children. Studies across tropical countries with plenty of access to sugarcane juice, like Brazil and India, have shown that diet fortification using sugarcane juice as a sweetener brings about statistically significant improvements in hemoglobin levels in the kids. This can be a practical and low-cost solution in the global fight against anemia.
