The benefits of  red fruits  extend beyond the prevention of cardiovascular diseases or premature aging, since their high antioxidant content is conducive to preventing and controlling  diabetes mellitus  , according to several studies.   One of the keys to the control of  diabetes mellitus  is the type of diet that is required, as well as the concern of the type of food that can increase  glucose  levels .  In this sense, the consumption of certain  fruits  is one of the most frequent doubts for a patient with diabetes.   However, a recent study by researchers at  Diabetes UK  , published in the  British Medical Journal  , shows that eating whole fruit can help prevent the risk of developing  diabetes mellitus  by up to 25%, particularly certain fruits such as blueberries , as well as the rest of  red fruits  .   Red fruits to control glucose   1.

When we talk about regulating our daily consumption of  sugar  , we believe that by lowering the usual amount we solve the problem, for example, if you drank  a liter  of soda, lower it to one can a day;  the reality is that consuming  355 ml  .  of soda, we are increasing  the risk of  type 2 diabetes  by  22% .   According to the  Center for Biomedical Research on Obesity and Nutrition  , the relationship between the consumption of sugary soft drinks and the risk of prediabetes is increasing. Those who consume at least  one can of soda  per day (not including diet or light sodas) have that 46% risk, which in a period of approximately 14 years, becomes a chronic disease.  As for  fruit juice or nectar  , there were no cases of a higher incidence of  diabetes  among its consumers, but it is important that you distinguish between  natural  and processed juices;  si...

Prediabetes  is the condition in which people have  blood  sugar levels that are higher than normal levels  , without yet  developing diabetes  .  People with  prediabetes  are at higher risk of developing this disease.  However,  it can be reversed,  we tell you what is the way!   According to the  Mexican Federation of Diabetes  ,  prediabetes  not only predisposes to the onset of  diabetes,  but also  increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.    The main causes of prediabetes and risk factors are:   have a sedentary lifestyle Being over 45 and overweight Having direct family members with  diabetes  (mother or fathers) Having had children over 4 kilos Arterial hypertension with levels above 140/90mmHg Have elevated  triglyceride levels  , greater than 250mg/dI How do I know if I have prediabetes?   Pre  diabetes   is sometimes  ...

Sometimes, or several times, we have done it with the purpose of losing weight or;  without imagining that  by fasting,  long or short, we affect not only our size but also the  health of the heart.   Because, according to recent research from the  Mayo Clinic,  regular fasting -- restricting food and drink for one or two days a week -- may improve heart health. This may be because people who regularly fast (as is the case in some religions) have greater self-control over the  amount of calories  they consume;  it is also possible that your body metabolizes cholesterol and sugar better.   Although another study presented by the  Heart Institute of the Intermountain Medical Center in the United States  suggests that the beneficial effect of fasting is that it reduces triglyceride levels in the blood, which leads to a 39% lower risk of suffering a  disease in the coronary arteries  .   This is how our body res...

Intermittent  fasting  is a "method" that is gaining popularity among women every day, as they say it is an effective way to   lose weight  .  We explain  what intermittent fasting is and how it works.   According to  the Mayo Clinic,  regular  fasting  can lower "bad" cholesterol and improve how the body metabolizes sugar, which can be good for  preventing weight gain  and  reducing risk factors for diabetes and heart disease.    This is because people who resort to constant  fasting   are believed to have greater self-control in the way they eat, drink and their calorie intake, which means they  may have more control over their weight.   Now ,  intermittent fasting  is different types of  fasting:   Intermittent fasting one:  consume few calories for a few days and then eat normally.   Intermittent fasting two:  eat only at certain times, skip som...

Lefties  make up around 10% of the world 's  population, and studies have uncovered a set of  personality  traits that  lefties  tend to have, according to the  Huffingpost  . Scientists aren't entirely sure, but research points to a complex collaboration between genes and the environment that causes a person to be left-  handed  . For this reason, we present some facts that you did not know about left-  handers  : 1. According to research published in the  Wall Street Journal  ,  lefties  are at higher risk for  brain and learning disorders  .  About 20% of people with  schizophrenia  predominantly use the  left hand  . 2. Left-  handed  people are more likely to gravitate toward more artistic or innovative pursuits or careers, according to research published in the  American Journal of Psychology  .  They are most attracted to careers in the arts,...
