Mediterranean diet against diabetes

    




According to a new study, people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, having a diet rich in olive oil, fish and whole grains slows progression of the disease.

Long-term study showed that adherence to the Mediterranean diet showed that such people diabetes went into remission, compared with those who had low fat diet. "Everyone thinks fat is bad, but the results show that much depends on the type of fat," said Olansky, an endocrinologist.

The study's lead author Katherine Esposito said that people diagnosed with diabetes should strive to have a healthy diet, and the Mediterranean is a good, healthy option. While reducing calories and fat, it is important to remember about the right levels of healthy fats. She and her colleagues observed the participants of the previous study, which were divided into two groups. One followed the Mediterranean diet and the other nutrition with low fat diet.

During the eight years of the experiment, almost all patients from the second group went on medication much earlier than those who followed a Mediterranean type diet.
