Losing weight and controling the types of food eaten can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. A Health Day video clip reports on the findings of a recent Harvard Medical School study that identifies the benefits of whole grains, coffee and nuts. The reduction in risk is substantial – a diet rich in whole grains reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 40% (versus a diet rich in refined sugar?). The video also notes the importance of avoiding excessive calories. To view the video clip click on: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/videos/news/diabetes_and_food_092909.html
On the strength of this I think I’ll continue with my rolled oats, whole grain bread, coffee and almonds! Happy munching, Keith
