DARK CHOCOLATE-- FOR DIABETES
A new research has revealed that there are powerful components
in dark chocolate, which can ward off diabetes.
Scientists have found that “superfoods”, such as dark chocolate,
red wine, tea and berries that are rich in flavanoids, offer protection from
Type 2 diabetes, the Daily Express reported.
The research, conducted on almost 2,000 people, showed that high
intakes of flavanoids are associated with lower insulin resistance and better
blood glucose regulation.
According to the study, this compound is found in plant-based
foods, and that onions, apples, berries, kale, and broccoli have the highest
concentrations of flavanoids.
Aedin Cassidy, the lead researcher from University of East
Anglia’s Norwich Medical School, said that their research looked at the
benefits of eating certain sub-groups of flavanoids.
The study also found that these bioactive compounds lower inflammation
associated with diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The study is published in the Journal of Nutrition.
