People who regularly eat green leafy vegetables in their diet have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than others, according to a new British study Researchers at the University of Leicester report in a new issue of the British medical journal that they reviewed a large number of relevant studies, including the diet and health data of about 220000 people The analysis found that those who often eat green leafy vegetables in their daily diet, that is, those who eat spinach and other vegetables more than 120 grams per day, have a 14% lower risk of type II diabetes than those who do not eat green leafy vegetables This may be because green leafy vegetables contain a lot of antioxidants and magnesium, which can help reduce the risk of diabetes, the researchers said However, the researchers also said that it is not recommended to supplement these substances alone, but that they should be used as an organic part of food to reduce the risk of disease through a healthy diet According to the University of Leicester's bulletin, research shows that up to 86% of British adults eat less fruits and vegetables than recommended Researchers estimate that more than two million deaths a year worldwide can be attributed to inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables.
