28 g any yogurt daily can protect you from diabetes.
To this conclusion came a group of scientists, analyzing the results of several large-scale medical research, the number of participants which ranged from 40 to 120 million Americans aged 25 to 75 years
Among the analyzed data were the results obtained by experts at the Harvard School of Public Health in a lengthy study of the dynamics of changes in the health status of more than 120 thousand Americans: 51 529 men, whose professional activity was connected with medicine (dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, chiropractors) aged 40 to 75 years in a study called the Health Professionals’ Follow-up Study (HFPS), and 116,671 women (nurses, aides) in the subsequent Nurses’ Health Study II (NHS II), began in 1989..
Before beginning each phase of the study participants took the survey with questions pertaining to their daily life style, preferences, food and nutrition, sleep, leisure etc. In the questionnaire also indicated the occurrence of chronic and acute pathologies, including diabetes.
It should be emphasized that participation in the study was allowed only to those candidates who at the start of the experiment were not suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular or cancer, thus all the chronic or acute pathology in the course of the experiment occurred in a patient for the first time, allowing to estimate influence of factors of lifestyle and nutrition on the development of a particular disease.
Throughout the study period there were 15 156 cases of development of subjects of diabetes of the 2nd type. After a thorough comparison of the data from their diaries power and the regime of patients, it became evident that a correlation between quantity and frequency of consumption of milk products and the risk of developing diabetes of the 2nd type.
To be more precise, a daily serving (28 g) fresh plain yogurt reduced the risk of diabetes by 18%. Is not a convincing argument, once and for all to love yogurt and other dairy products?
Recall that at the moment in the world estimated at about 366 million patients with diagnosed diabetes mellitus of the 2nd type and even the most optimistic forecasts, by 2030 this figure will reach 552 million.. the cause is poor diet, low physical activity, the prevalence of food additives, dyes, uncontrolled and chaotic hormonal drugs.
