Green leafy veg may cut diabetes risk
www.gdaguru.com today reports that a diet rich in green leafy vegetables may reduce the risk of developing diabetes, UK research says. 27-08-2010
In an analysis of six studies into fruit and vegetable intake, only food including spinach and cabbage was found to have a significant positive effect. A portion and a half a day was found to cut type 2 diabetes risk by 14%, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) reports. It is not clear why green leafy vegetables may have a protective effect but one reason may be they are high in antioxidants, such as vitamin C and another theory is that they contain high levels of magnesium. But experts urged people to continue to aim for five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. In 2008/09, the National Diet Nutrition Survey showed that, although fruit and vegetable intake has risen over the past decade, only a third of men and women eat the recommended five-a-day.
