Eating almonds daily may improve diabetes risk factors: Study

New Delhi: Eating almonds regularly may lead to improvements in both body weight and blood sugar in overweight and obese people, according to a study.

The research, published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, found that eating almonds daily for 12 weeks reduced insulin resistance, improved pancreatic



function, and helped control blood glucose levels.

The group given almonds also achieved significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference over the intervention period and lowered their total cholesterol, the researchers said.
