"Nuts" to Adult-Onset Diabetes

Tens of millions of Americans will develop adult-onset diabetes after age 45. The SAD diet (Standard American Diet) is primarily responsible. But you can take a simple step to help protect yourself from developing this disease - eat a handful of nuts (or a tablespoon of peanut butter) a few times each week.

Rich in fiber, magnesium and unsaturated (good) fats, nuts help facilitate insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, and reduces cholesterol levels (all good things). Reducing simple carbohydrate intake (white breads, sugar, soda etc.) will help to almost insure that you will escape this disease.
