Diabetes is largely triggered by an unhealthy lifestyle. To prevent and control it, there are easy ways you can do, eat almonds every day on a regular basis.
"Eating almonds can reduce bad cholesterol and improve insulin sensitivity. So, it can reduce the risk of diabetes," said Ritesh Gupta, head of clinical operations of C-Doc at the Fortis Hospital, was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
Diabetes is caused by a person to lack the hormone insulin which controls blood sugar levels. Symptoms include headaches, frequent thirst, especially at night and excessive urination.
"A handful of almonds contains 164 calories and 7 milligrams of protein, which makes you full longer and help control the desire to eat. Almonds also help the formation of strong bones in children," said Gupta.
The research team from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, West Chester University, Pennsylvania, and Loma Linda University of California, also shows regular consumption of almonds can control diabetes.
"A diet consisting of 20 percent of calories, such as consumption of almonds for 16 weeks, could effectively improve insulin sensitivity and showed significant clinical improvement in LDL cholesterol levels in adults with pre-diabetes," wrote the researchers.
