World Diabetes Day - Why You Should Include Almonds In Your Diabetes Diet
It is
the World Diabetes Day today 14.11.2018. This year the theme of World Diabetes
Day is 'The Family and Diabetes'. Diabetes is one of the
leading causes of disability across the world. Diabetes currently affects over
425 million people worldwide, with more than 72.9 million cases of diabetes in
India in 2017. World Diabetes Day is an initiative to spread awareness about
the condition. Lack of awareness, late diagnosis and myths often make it
difficult for people to manage the condition. Diabetes has been linked with
increased risk of obesity,
kidney failure
and heart complications. While experts around the world are still working on
ways in which the condition can be reversed completely, fortunately there are
many natural ways through which you can control blood sugar
fluctuations. Studies say that almonds may come in handy to improve metabolic
risk factors associated with type-2 diabetes.
Diabetes Management: Why Are Almonds
Helpful In Managing Diabetes
Several studies funded by the Almond Board of California demonstrate the potential cardiovascular benefits of including almonds in healthy diets among those living with type-2 diabetes. A study of 50 Asian Indians with type-2 diabetes and elevated cholesterol levels found that substituting whole, unroasted almonds for 20% of calories in a well-balanced diet significantly improved measures of heart health that are linked to type-2 diabetes, including waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and total cholesterol.
Here's How You Should Eat Almonds To Manage Diabetes?
Too much of anything would only cause harm in the long run. Moderation is key for an ideal diabetes diet plan. Ideally, 1 ounce of almonds in a day is a fair amount. You can also mix almonds with other nuts and seeds like walnuts and flaxseeds and snack into them whenever cravings kick in. Choosing soaked almonds over raw almonds is said to be a better bet. The brown peel of almonds contains tannin, which inhibits nutrient absorption.
Another
study among 33 Chinese participants with type-2 diabetes, who ate a
heart-healthy diet, looked at the effect of including 60 grams of almonds a day
on maintenance of blood sugar levels and cardiovascular disease factors. The
almond diet lowered fasting serum glucose level (which measures blood sugar
levels after fasting) by 6% and HbA1c (which
measures average blood sugar levels over a two or three month period) by 3%.
