Nuts and type 2 diabetes
Research indicates that if you eat nuts or peanut butter, and are a woman, you have a lower risk of developing type II diabetes.
Diet and lifestyle play a major role in determining whether or not a person develops diabetes or not. People who suffer from type II diabetes show increased resistance to insulin. As a result, glucose remains in the blood and causes a host of disorders.
Researchers have now discovered that nuts and peanut butter improve insulin sensitivity and lower a person’s risk of developing type II diabetes. The beneficial affects of nuts in protecting the body against heart disease were already known. Now nut lovers have another reason to celebrate.
The catch? The study was carried out on women and researchers do not know if nuts have the same protective affect in males.
So, if you are a nut lover, then what are you waiting for? Start munching down on those nuts to protect your body against type II diabetes.
And if the thought of peanut butter drives you insane, then just consider the beneficial prospects of going nuts!
