Research Now Highlights What Can Lessen the Economic Impact of Diabetes

(Newswire.net — July 5, 2022) Orlando, FL — Diabetes is one of the common chronic ailments that health authorities have been warning against. This condition is not just prevalent but also incurable. Today, there are many scientists who carry out studies to look into the factors affecting this disease.

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare carried out a study.

In this research, it has been found that increased intake of whole-grain foods could significantly lessen the incidence of type 2 diabetes and the costs linked with its treatment in Finland.

The findings of this interesting research were published in Nutrients.

“Our study shows that already one serving of full grains as part of the daily diet reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes at the population level and, consequently, the direct diabetes-related costs, when compared to people who do not eat whole-grain foods on a daily basis,” said Professor Janne Martikainen from the University of Eastern Finland.

“Over the next ten years, society’s potential to achieve cost savings would be from 300 million (-3.3%) to almost one billion (-12.2%) euros in current value, depending on the presumed proportion of whole-grain foods in the daily diet. On the level of individuals, this means healthier years,” he added.

Globally, type 2 diabetes is considered to be one of the fastest-growing chronic diseases today. While this condition is incurable, it can be managed and prevented through healthy nutrition that supports weight management. 

In numerous studies, it’s been found that there is a link between daily intake of whole-grain foods with a reduced risk of diabetes. 

“According to nutrition recommendations, at least 3-6 servings of whole-grain foods should be eaten daily, depending on an individual’s energy requirement. One-third of Finns do not eat even one dose of whole grains on a daily basis, and two-thirds have a too low fiber intake,” Research Manager Jaana Lindström from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare says.

Studies looking into the various aspects of diabetes continue to pile up. It is worth keeping in mind that when this condition is left uncontrolled, it could result in dangerous health outcomes. 

Making dietary and lifestyle improvements is vital to managing this condition. It is also important to take into account the use of certain kitchen ingredients like the medicinal mushroom called lion’s mane.

Some studies have shown that it has diabetes-fighting benefits. Today, it is obtained widely through the use of formulas like Divine Bounty Lion’s Mane. (www.amazon.com/Organic-Lions-Mane-Mushroom-Capsules/dp/B07LGR1KN7).
