Diet: Can prevent a regular breakfast diabetes? – Handelsblatt

Worldwide, around 380 million people have diabetes, a metabolic disorder that leads to increased blood sugar levels. And experts estimate that the number is likely to rise to around 600 million by 2035. This illustrates why it is primarily the prevention of diabetes is gaining in importance.

In this regard, British researchers have now made an interesting discovery. Perhaps certain dietary habits can significantly affect in childhood, the risk of developing diabetes later on. Blood tests for British school children showed that among those children who eat breakfast regularly, significantly less risk factors were detected than in those who often went in the morning to school without breakfast.

was particularly pronounced this context, if the high-fiber breakfast cereal products such as cereals were consumed. “A regular breakfast – especially with fiber-rich cereal – could help reduce the risk of developing diabetes, decrease in childhood,” wrote Angela S. Donin and her colleagues at the London St. George’s University. A causal relationship could be due to the study not yet produce, but the results look “encouraging,” the researchers write on. Even taking into account other factors such as physical activity, body fat percentage or socio-economic factors such as income, the study results have remained statistically significant.
Therefore, should now be followed by further studies to find out whether a change in the breakfast habits change the blood values ​​are positive and can reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

For their study, the researchers have a total of 4119 taken school children aged nine to ten years under the microscope. About a quarter of them said that they do not eat breakfast daily. Your blood sugar levels and their values ​​for insulin resistance were increased by over 26 percent compared to the others. Insulin resistance indicates muscle, liver and fat cells respond as sensitive to the hormone insulin to ensure a normal blood sugar level. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance is increased, which causes increased insulin is produced. The children who ate high-fiber containing cereal for breakfast, showed a lower insulin resistance than children in the morning only white bread or other low-fiber diet ate.

Top ten myths about body weight

• Everything in moderation

  Helps chocolate while losing weight or making them fat? Really clarified is not the effect of the sweet substance until today. But it is true, everything is permitted if it is enjoyed only in moderation – this applies to both lean and for somewhat stronger people

• Without dinner to bed

  There is a misconception that only thicker people get sick by Fats: You can also become fat internally. Then the fat accumulates in body regions that remain invisible to the eye. As a result, the heart and liver as surrounding fat and that can lead to diabetes or cardiovascular disease. To Losing weight, it does not help, moreover, to cancel the dinner. This tends to result in more cravings, especially at night.

• Balanced diet

  A balanced diet with carbohydrates, proteins and fats, the body does best – then causes no fat. Even people with normal Body Mass Index hide fat in their bodies. Because they feed partly too greasy or too sweet, move besides they have too little. Same time, they do not eat enough to be overweight.

• Thicker and healthier

  Longer is already known, the thick active people are often healthier than the thin, but not very active people. This is especially evident in the mortality risk. It is also a fallacy that in the sauna really weight is lost: In fact, only water was exuded. But he does the health still good.

• Metabolic

  sumo wrestler not just an example of particularly slim people, often have a better metabolic profile than those who are slim indeed, but do not play sports. The explanation is simple: the fat lies down with them not to reveal the internal organs, but remained just under the skin. Sport is so important. Does not matter, however, is with what heart rate you do sports. The main thing to do it.

• fat pad

  can through conscious diet and exercise to get rid of the fat deposits inside quickly, perhaps you should then but to a goose as shown in the image without. However, there is also a fallacy that any fat migrates immediately to the hips – that only happens if we take into our body too many calories

.

  Light Products

  Light products contain less sugar and fat. So far so good – about the calorie content says that although only slightly. Because they often contain sweeteners which stimulate the appetite and thus make the hunger only increases.

• number of meals

  It can not be said often enough: It depends on how many calories you take daily – and not how or when it is. Because to date there is no scientific study that proves that three large meals were better than five small. Obesity does not arise if you eat balanced, but in what you eat in between -., Such as chips or gummy bears

• Food

  Are there any foods that make the body less calories than the then you need in your digestive system? No, although it is supposed to be a widespread rumor and the ultimate guide to a diet, which is actually nonsense. They work at most one bit supportive.

• Jojo-effect

  Watching should People who want to lose weight like, especially on the so-called yo-yo effect. To really lose weight permanently, it is necessary that the diet is permanently changed.

Explorers of St. George’s University, therefore, made the recommendation that children should eat breakfast at least once a day . They estimate that in this case the national blood sugar levels could be reduced by four percent. In the event that children do usually have breakfast fiber cereals products, the researchers expect even with a reduction of the measured on an empty stomach blood sugar levels at eleven to twelve percent.

Some of the children who participated in the study, also gave information about their eating during an entire day. It was interesting now that the observed association between breakfast and diabetes risk remained even when the diet differences that arose from these additional data were included in the analysis.

If further investigations confirm a causal relationship, the research could make to the search for the mechanisms.
Even now, however, seems obvious that early intake of calories in the morning, a positive Effect of dietary fiber and an increased number of meals a day to play a role.
