600 calories of daily diet intake keeps diabetes away health insurance
from: GingerDiabetic patients who consumed just 600 calories a day were able to live without their pills at the end of a two-month trial, say experts. Eleven men and women with type 2 diabetes were put on the diet for 8 weeks. After just a week, some blood sugar readings had returned to normal.
After two months, fat levels in the pancreas returned to normal and the organ was able to pump out insulin without any problem. Some patients no longer needed tablets to control high blood pressure, it said.
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin. Diabetes is often controlled initially with a stringent diet and exercise. But many sufferers eventually need tablets or insulin injections. "We have shown that we can reverse it," the Mail said quoting Roy Taylor, the study's lead author. Three months after the end of the diet, seven of the 11 men and women were still diabetes-free.
Scientists have conducted a study which explains the cause behind the craving for high calorie pleasure foods, such as chocolates and ice creams when stressed.
A research team from the UT Southwestern Medical Center studied the impact of ghrelin - the so-called 'hunger hormone' involved in triggering such a reaction to high stress situations in mice.
"This helps explain certain complex eating behaviors and may be one of the mechanisms by which obesity develops in people exposed to psychosocial stress," said Dr Jeffrey Zigman, assistant professor of internal medicine and psychiatry. "We think these findings are not just relevant only to mice, but likely are also relevant to humans."
Scientists know that fasting causes ghrelin to be released from the gastrointestinal tract, following which, the hormone plays a role in sending hunger signals to the brain. The study on mice showed that the rise in ghrelin lead to overeating, suggesting a mechanism for the increased prevalence of weight-related issues observed in humans with chronic stress and depression.
