The one fruit that I eat all the time and that you should try, too!
Although my favorite fruit is still available, lettuce may be long gone (or too pricey).
I believe that nutrition is more important than the price I spend for each one of these wonderful fruits, despite the fact that it is also expensive.
I consume mine with everything; I don’t require an explanation to include it in breakfast, lunch, or snacks (considering that I rarely eat dinner). My daughter also adores them.
Researchers discovered a substance that suppresses a biological mechanism that frequently results in diabetes during safety testing on people. The drug enters the bloodstream without having a detrimental effect on the kidney, liver, or muscles.
The obscure fruit I’m referring to is the beloved avocado.
Sadly, Type 2 diabetes is caused by a chronic illness that affects one in four obese Canadians.
Having insulin resistance prevents your body from properly removing glucose from the blood.
When the body’s cells’ mitochondria, which serve as our energy factories, are unable to completely burn fatty acids, complications may result.
Fatty acid oxidation is often what enables our bodies to burn fat. Incomplete oxidation can result from this mechanism being hampered by obesity or diabetes.
Researchers have discovered an avocado-only chemical called “Avocatin B” that inhibits total oxidation in the pancreas and skeletal muscle to lessen insulin resistance.
Research using mice produced some important results.
For eight weeks, mice were given high-fat diets in an effort to make them obese and insulin-resistant. Over a period of five weeks, researchers supplemented half of the mice’s high-fat meals with avocado B (avocado).
Avocation B-treated mice gained weight more slowly and weighed substantially less than mice in the control group. But even more significant than the weight gain was the discovery that those mice had higher insulin sensitivity. As a result, their bodies were able to better respond to insulin and absorb and burn blood sugar.
And all of this happened in the mice who were on a high-fat, refined diet!
People who consumed a Westernized diet and were given Avocation B supplements also experienced the same outcomes, but it’s possible that this just happened in mice. Additionally, although not statistically significant, weight losses were also noticeable.
As part of a plan for future studies on the treatment of metabolic disorders in people, researchers safely administered the correct form of avocation B in supplement form to humans.
The pill used in this human experiment was reportedly sold by SP Nutraceuticals Inc. and was given approval in 2020.
Because each avocado has a different quantity of avocado B and because it’s still unclear exactly how it is digested and absorbed when you eat an entire avocado, eating avocados alone won’t help.
This much is certain: eating avocados won’t prevent you from losing weight or impair your health or longevity.
The combination is perfect when exercise is included.
Although there is no quick fix for diabetes or obesity, diet is where it all begins and finishes.
I will keep eating avocado because I adore the flavor and realize how healthy it is.
For those who are obese and have diabetes, this discovery could be revolutionary.
Who enjoys avocado, and how frequently do you eat it each day?
