In a novel study researcher revealed that integrating nuts into your diet can help in treating type 2 diabetes. It is accounted in ninety-five percent of all cases. In the similar way fighting the conditions such as obesity and physical inactivity, could manage heart diseases, reported the study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
In diabetes there is shortage of insulin or diminished ability to use the hormone which allows glucose to enter cells and be converted into energy. Diabetes, when not controlled, fats and glucose remain in the blood and after some time begin to damage the vital organs of the body.
The research found that a diet which is rich in almonds can help to improve insulin susceptibility and diminish levels of LDL cholesterol in those suffering pre-diabetes, a condition people have blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough to be categorized as diabetic.
To verify the effects of an almond rich diet, the research team from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey carried a study on sixty-five adults suffering pre-diabetic condition. They were divided into two groups, one group was provided with almond rich diet and other was provided diet without almonds.
The group with almond-enriched diet showed higher improvements in insulin vulnerability and an important diminution in LDL cholesterol in comparison to those with nut free diet group. It is promising for those with danger aspects for chronic disease like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, explained study author Dr Michelle Wien.
Dietary alterations can help to improve factors that play a potential role in the disease development, added Dr Wien. According to an estimate about fifty-five million people in Europe have been diagnosed with diabetes.
