New study confirms that eating more fruits and vegetables can help prevent diabetes

Can eating more fruits and vegetables really prevent diabetes? The latest scientific research has the answer

The reporter learned from Westlake University that Professor Zheng Jusheng from the School of Life Sciences and more than 40 nutritionists in Europe, after five years of teamwork, proved from the perspective of blood nutritional markers that more intake of fruits and vegetables is conducive to the prevention of diabetes ( This article refers specifically to type 2 diabetes)

The study concluded that eating an extra 66 grams of fruits and vegetables a day could reduce the risk of diabetes by 25%

"We tracked and recorded more than 10,000 diabetes cases in 8 European countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Denmark, and compared more than 13,000 healthy people to find more fruits and vegetables from the perspective of nutritional markers.

In the study, the research team recorded seven nutrients in the initial blood of the experimental population, including vitamin C and six carotenoids

Through regular measurement and tracking, the research team found that the higher the nutritional markers in the body, the lower the risk of developing diabetes, which means that eating more fruits and vegetables can effectively reduce the risk of diabetes

According to reports, the more than 10,000 diabetes cases and the healthy control group of more than 13,000 people were selected from more than 400,000 people after nearly 10 years of tracking, so there are long-term data to support the reliability and stability of the conclusions

"Many teams have done similar studies before
