Avocados: The Tasty Secret to Preventing Diabetes in Women

Daniel Kim Views  

A recent study showed the effectiveness of avocados in preventing diabetes in women.

The correlation between avocado consumption and the risk of diabetes is published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Diabetes.

In Mexico, 15.2% of the adult population, which is about 12.8 million adults, have diabetes.

Diabetes can lead to serious complications, even death, making it crucial to manage blood sugar levels from the onset. By improving diet, maintaining regular exercise, correcting lifestyle habits, and consistently taking diabetes medication, patients can lower their blood sugar levels.

Mexican researchers investigated the interrelationship between avocado consumption and the risk of diabetes based on the medical data of 25,640 adults from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). About 45% of the participants consumed avocados, with men averaging 34.7g (1.22 ounces) and women 29.8g (1.05 ounces) per day.

The study found that avocado consumption reduced the risk of diabetes by approximately 22%.

Those who consumed avocados tended to eat healthier foods and had a higher socioeconomic status. After adjusting for these factors, avocado consumption reduced the risk of diabetes by up to 29%. However, no preventative effect of avocados on diabetes was observed in men.

Based on these results, the researchers concluded that avocados have a preventative effect on diabetes in women.
