An egg a day can keep Type 2 diabetes at bay

#type2diabetes #cholesterol #health Sunday ho ya Monday, roj khaye andey – this jingle is proving to be true because a study has established that four eggs every week can reduce the risk of Type-2 diabetes by 37 percent when compared to those men who ate only one egg a week.
It is good for health. The study has been published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and reported in zeenews.india.com dated 3 April 2015.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland – they assessed the dietary habits of 2,332 men aged between 42 and 60 years during 1984-1989. During the follow-up over the next 19-years, nearly 432 men were diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes.
The study concluded that consumption of egg was associated with a lower risk of Type-2 diabetes apart from lower blood glucose levels. The reason could be attributed to the fact that in addition to cholesterol, eggs contain many other beneficial nutrients that can have an effect on metabolism of glucose metabolism and low-grade inflammation. Thereby, the risk of Type-2 diabetes is lowered. Incidents of Type-2 diabetes is on the rise throughout the world.
Therefore, taking a cue from the famous philosophy of an apple a day keeps the doctor way, we can say – an egg a day can keep Type 2 diabetes at bay.
