World Diabetes Day, held every year on 14 November, is a good time to remember that nuts are great allies in the fight against this disease.<\/p>\n
A number of scientific studies have proven that, thanks to their simple sugars, which don\u2019t concentrate in the blood, nuts can keep blood sugar levels down. The PREDIMED (Prevention with a Mediterranean Diet)<\/strong> study carried out detailed trials in several Spanish cities between 2003 and 2010: close monitoring of 7.447 people over an average period of 4.8 years revealed that a Mediterranean diet supplemented with nuts can help reduce the risk of suffering Type 2 diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n The recommended daily intake of nuts is 30\u00a0g, for diabetics and nondiabetics alike. However, some nuts are more effective than others: walnuts, for instance, help combat diabetes in people with a predisposition to suffer the disease or who are insulin resistant, whereas pistachios help keep blood sugar levels down after meals (postprandial glycaemia).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" World Diabetes Day, held every year on 14 November, is a good time to remember that nuts are great allies…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3304],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cooking-tips"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
