The Mediterranean Diet Improves Your Body’s Insulin Response

The more closely you adhere to the Mediterranean diet, the more effectively your body utilizes insulin. This is critical for type 2 diabetics who must make the most of the insulin they do produce. This effect of the Mediterranean diet consisting of fish, whole grains, nuts, seeds, olive oil, fruits, and vegetables was studied in a group of 62 overweight middle-aged participants by Italian public health researchers.

The subjects were divided into high and low Med Diet adherence groups. The data revealed that high diet adherence was associated with high sensitivity and low resistance to insulin. This evidence offers continued support for eating a Mediterranean diet, particularly for diabetics.
