Eating at regular intervals essential to good health and less diabetes
There are so many diets and crazy plans out there to lose weight. You know the cabbage soup diet, the Adkins diet, the peanut diet- yes that is real- and they all say when to eat and how often. What we need to remember is that how frequent we eat is almost as important as what we eat.
People who eat at irregular times run a greater risk of developing insulin resistance and ultimately diabetes. Metabolic syndromes also can be triggered by such intake. Here is what one study found…
The participants that said that they rarely ate a regular breakfast, lunch and dinner had, on average, a larger waist size and more blood lipid disorders than people who ate more regularly. They also tended to exhibit more signs of insulin resistance, which is thought to be an underlying cause of metabolic syndrome. The scientists believe that the results can help to improve dietary advice regarding the prevention or treatment of metabolic syndrome.
Do you eat at regular intervals? I need to work at eating breakfast on a more regular basis- I know that.
