Nuts are recommended as substitutes for less healthy snacks.
According to research, replacing a daily breakfast with a handful or two of nuts can help people with diabetes to better control their blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
The intake of fats and especially monounsaturated fats (MUFA) is allowed in diabetics in order to preserve HDL-cholesterol. This also improves glycemic control. The study evaluated the effect of mixed nuts as a source of vegetable fat on serum lipids and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes.
Of course, despite the findings, the results do not mean nuts are the key to controlling diabetes. However, they can be part of a healthy diet. Scientists believe that people should focus on their overall diet and lifestyle.
Nuts are high in fat. But it is only now that scientists are realizing that they are unsaturated, which means that they are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and other health benefits.
However, it should be borne in mind that nuts are rich in calories. People with diabetes should not just add a handful to their regular diet, but should consume them instead of less healthy snacks. But not in parallel with them.
The study was conducted within 3 months. 117 participants with diabetes were randomized to 1 of the following 3 regimens:
-475 kcal, as part of a 2000 kcal diet composed of mixed nuts (75g / day). The nuts included raw almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, macadamia and more.
-475 kcal, as a muffin with a similar protein content, without monounsaturated fats
-475 kcal - half a serving of nuts and muffins.
In the first group, after three months of consumption of mixed nuts, glycated hemoglobin decreased by 0.21%. No effects were reported in the second and third regimes.
Compared to muffins, the full dose of nuts led to a significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol levels. A moderate decrease in LDL-cholesterol was observed in the mixed regimen.
It follows that 60-70 grams of nuts per day, as a substitute for carbohydrate foods, lead to improved glycemic control serum lipids in type 2 diabetes.
For people who do not like nuts, there are alternative sources of monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and avocado.
