Diabetes: If you give up sweets at a young age, the risk of diabetes will be reduced
In a country like India, the number of diabetes patients is increasing rapidly. The situation is such that India is now being called the diabetes capital. This condition is directly related to lifestyle and food habits. Doctors believe that both diabetes and hypertension in Indian patients are related to lifestyle issues, food habits and genetics. By the time the patient takes it seriously, it is too late.
Research on diabetes is conducted from time to time all over the world. In this context, a recent study has found that if the consumption of sweets is controlled in early life, i.e. in youth, then the chances of diabetes in life can be decreased.
Diabetes: What does the study say
A recent study conducted in the United Kingdom shows how if sugar is consumed less for the first 1000 days of life, then the risk of diabetes and hypertension can be reduced by 35 and 20 percent respectively. Scientists have drawn this conclusion on the basis of data from a 75-year-old biobank when people were given sugar on a rationed basis. Therefore, to reduce the risk of diabetes, sugar should be consumed less in early life itself.
Diabetes: Apart from this, to avoid diabetes, sleep well and eat fruits.
Poor sleep can increase the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Eat foods rich in fiber such as apples, avocados, bananas, beans, blueberries, sprouts, chia seeds, lentils, beans, nuts and oats. Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that does not let your blood sugar rise after a meal.
