Walnut can prevent type 2 diabetes and many other diseases

Scientists are uprooting one or the other research every day in the university, public labs and government centres of research and development. According to the latest research,  a person who consumes 28 gms or four tablespoons of walnuts is less prone to type 2 diabetes.

Doubling walnut consumption (eating 3 tablespoons) was associated with a 47 per cent lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes, researchers said.

The study:

The university invited 34, 121 adults between the age group 18 and 85 years.
They were asked about their dietary intake, as well as if they had been diagnosed with diabetes or if they were taking medications for diabetes.
Individuals were also assessed for diabetes using common laboratory measurements including fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c.
"These findings provide more evidence for food-based guidance to help reduce the risk for diabetes," said a researcher.

Those adults who reported consuming walnuts showed a lower risk for type 2 diabetes compared to those who did not consume any nuts regardless of age, gender, race, education, BMI, and amount of physical activity.

"The strong connection we see in this study between walnut consumers and lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes is additional justification for including walnuts in the diet. Other research has shown that walnuts may also be beneficial for cognitive function and heart health," he said.

Walnut helps in lessening the risk of several diseases

Diabetic parents are vulnerable towards heart disease and stroke and walnut helps in combating cardiovascular diseases.

So, people who suffer from diabetes tends to have elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, or triglycerides which can be controlled to some extent with the consumption of walnut.

Among the numerous properties in walnuts that may be providing health benefits, walnuts are a rich source of recommended polyunsaturated fat (13 gms per 28 gms), which includes the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (2.5 gms per 28 gms).

Findings from the new study  provide additional support for the role of walnuts as part of a healthy diet that may help reduce the risk for diabetes.

Few months ago, a study proved that a handful of walnuts a day may prevent not only heart disease but also bowel cancer.

Lead author said: 'Secondary bile acids have been shown to be higher in individuals with higher rates of colorectal cancer.

In a nutshell, this nut prevents the following diseases:

  • Diabetes
  • Bowel Cancer
  • Heart Diseases

What is type 2 diabetes?

"Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease. It is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is also called type 2 diabetes mellitus and adult-onset diabetes. However, more and more children and teens are developing this condition. Since type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1 diabetes, it often is just called "diabetes"," defines a researcher.
