Lower Your Diabetes Risk
Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and you may cut your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, say researchers ... but eating lots of red meat, high-fat dairy and refined grains turn the tables. The research published in the September issue of Diabetes Care look at the oerall diet, not just certain foods, and hint that a healthy diet benefits even those racial and ethnic groups more prone to developing type 2 diabetes. Reassearchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in Houstonlooked at 5,011 adults taking part in a long-term heart-health study. They found that people whose diets were highest in whole grains, fruits, nuts, low-fat dairy and vegetables (particularly leafy greens) were 15 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes over 5 years than those who ate the lowest amounts of these foods.
