Yourwellness Magazine Investigates Ways to Eat to Beat Diabetes
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 20 July 2013 -- According to a new report, 'Eating More Red Meat Associated With Increased Risk of Type-2 Diabetes' published online June 17th 2013 by JAMA Internal Medicine, there is a link between eating more red meat over time and an increased risk of type-2 diabetes. This is based on a follow-up of three studies of about 149,000 U.S. men and women, in which diets were assessed using food frequency questionnaires. The research was led by An Pan, PhD, of the National University of Singapore. (doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2013.6633)
“Increasing red meat intake during a four-year interval was associated with an elevated risk of T2DM during the subsequent four years in each cohort,” the study authors wrote in their report. “Our results confirm the robustness of the association between red meat and T2DM and add further evidence that limiting red meat consumption over time confers benefits for T2DM prevention.” (http://media.jamanetwork.com/news-item/eating-more-red-meat-associated-with-increased-risk-of-type-2-diabetes/)
With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine investigated if it was possible to eat to beat diabetes. According to Yourwellness Magazine, “If you have type 1 diabetes, dietary changes can improve your overall health and reduce your long-term risk of complications. If you have type 2 diabetes, however, it’s often possible to bring your glucose control back to normal by losing excess weight, exercising regularly and following a ‘low-glycaemic’ diet which does not cause rapid swings in your blood glucose levels.”
Yourwellness Magazine detailed how fresh raspberry and almond porridge can help diabetes sufferers to cut back on refined carbohydrates and cook without salt, while increasing their intake of fibre. This is based on a recipe of 150g/5 ½oz oatmeal, 150ml/5 fl oz/ almond milk (or semi-skimmed cows' milk or soy milk), 600ml/1 pint boiling water, 120ml/4 fl oz low-fat fromage frais, 250g/9oz fresh or frozen raspberries, one juiced orange and a handful of flaked almonds. Yourwellness Magazine explained that this porridge has to be made the night before.
