Low Fat Yogurt Prevent Diabetes

If you want to avoid type 2 diabetes , perhaps you should increase the consumption of low-fat yogurt . So that was suggested by a new study from the UK . According to the study , the consumption of yogurt can reduce the risk of development of diabetes 28 percent more than those who do not eat yogurt .
Not only that , the consumption of other fermented milk products eg low-fat cheese can also reduce the risk of diabetes by 24 percent . " Yogurt should be part of a healthy diet , " said Nuta Forouhi , head of nutritional epidemiology program at the Medical Research Council , University of Cambridge .
Forouhi said , although the study did not directly state the nutrients in yogurt or other low-fat dairy products most useful , but the truth may be. Yogurt , he said , contains calcium , magnesium , vitamin D , and the beneficial fatty acids , as well as other dairy products in general .
" In addition, yogurt and other dairy products also contain vitamin K and the specific type of probiotic bacteria , " he added .

In a study published in the journal Diabetologia , Forouhi and his team conducted an analysis of data from 4,255 men and women . Among them , 753 people develop type 2 diabetes after 11 years followed .
Then , they evaluated the diet of the participants and found that there was no relation between the consumption of high-fat dairy products and low in fat on the risk of diabetes . Factors that play a role in determining the risk of diabetes is a healthy lifestyle , education , obesity , eating habits , and total caloric intake .
However, a different result is shown by the low-fat dairy products such as yogurt and fermented cheese . The researchers stated , the participants who did not develop type two diabetes included in the group that consumed the most low-fat yogurt and cheese .
Despite this , however, low-fat yogurt is a calorie foods so that excessive consumption is also potentially make the excess intake of calories lead to obesity , a major risk factor of type 2 diabetes . So regular exercise , multiply eat vegetables and fruits , maintaining a healthy weight are the steps that need to be done to prevent type 2 diabetes .
