Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Two meals a day
'effective' to treat type 2 diabetes
You might have
though the other way around to control the blood sugar level. If you don’t want
the amount of sugar in your blood too high, you probably would have been advised
not to eat too much at once, rather, eat smaller amount more frequently
throughout the day. But a recent experiment found that if the same amount of
food is given to two groups of people, those who ate the food in two times a
day, breakfast and lunch, lost more weight than those who enjoyed it in six
times a day.
This is a very
important and impactful research result to those who suffer from type 2
diabetes, which could cause heart disease, stroke or nerve damage. This disease
occurs when one’s body does not produce enough hormone insulin to control the blood
sugar level that usually rises after taking food or drink.
Then why less
frequent eating seems more effective to control the blood sugar level?
Enjoy reading and
learning about this interesting research finding.
