Delicious Fatty Food FIGHTS Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are getting a lot of attention these days.
And it’s about time!
After all, both conditions have exploded in recent years. And both have devastating health consequences.
Diabetes and obesity are complex issues with lots of contributing factors. But the best fixes are simple yet effective ones. And it’s even better when you can kill two birds with one solution.
That’s why I want to share the inside scoop on a single intervention that fights BOTH.
If someone told you that eating MORE fatty food could solve your weight AND blood sugar problems, you’d probably look at them like they had two heads.
Well, I need someone to hand me two hats because I’M that guy. And it’s absolutely TRUE.
A new study confirmed that eating ONE fatty food, in particular, can tackle BOTH of these major health issues.
I’m talking about significant reductions in folks:
- body weight
- body mass index (BMI)
- waist circumference
PLUS:
- reduced insulin resistance
- improved pancreatic function
- better blood sugar control
What is this miracle cure?
Almonds!
Don’t worry. You don’t have to eat a truckload – just 1.5 ounces of this tasty nut daily for 12 weeks led to these remarkable results.
Even more impressive was that these improvements happened in those who needed them MOST. The study volunteers were all overweight or obese.
Plus, they had imbalanced blood lipids, a family history of diabetes, and in some cases, hypertension.
In other words, these folks were swimming upstream in their battle against weight AND blood sugar problems.
The almond eaters experienced enhanced functioning of the insulin-producing beta cells in their pancreas.
This means regularly eating healthy and satisfying almonds could help those with prediabetes put the brakes on full-blown disease.
So, instead of choosing a handful of potato chips or a cookie for an afternoon snack, reach for a fistful of delicious almonds instead.
P.S. Recent research has uncovered a surprising solution to rising glucose levels. Downing a mug of THIS delicious drink can reverse those damaging blood sugar spikes. CLICK HERE for the whole story.
