Walnuts help reduce the risk of diabetes

Many people know that nuts can be a great alternative to healthy protein and fat, but a new study published in Nutrition magazine on April 1 shows that the risk of getting sick Diabetes in women who regularly eat special walnuts drops sharply by 25%.

This is a study conducted by experts from the Department of Public Health, Harvard University (USA).

Walnuts are healthy

On the basis of monitoring the eating habits of about 140,000 women aged 35-77 years in the US, scientists found that the risk of diabetes among average women ate 28 grams of small walnuts. Most twice a week decreased by 24% compared to women who ate little or no nuts.

In addition, women who eat walnuts once a month can reduce their risk of developing the disease by about 4% and if they eat twice a month, the risk is reduced by 13%.

Although this study is only done for women, experts believe that men will have similar results.

A medical survey in Canada at the end of 2012 identified more than 9 million people with diabetes, of which about 6 million are in prediabetes and about 50% of patients are diagnosed with a risk of developing disease progression to stage 2.

New research results by US scientists may help these patients.
