Around 8.4% of India’s adult population will have Diabetes by 2030, as estimated by a research by the International Diabetics Federation. More than 60 million people in India have been diagnosed with diabetes and as per the Public Health Foundation of India, nearly 52 per cent of Indians, who are diabetic, are not aware that they may be suffering from this condition. If you have type 2 diabetes, eating almonds as part of a healthy diet may help improve glycemic and cardiovascular measures and lead to better health. Those are the findings in the journal Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders and funded by the Almond Board of California. Almonds add protein, fiber, “good” monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, vitamin E, potassium and magnesium to the diet, and are low on the glycemic index. Previous studies have shown the benefits of almonds in improving the quality of the diet without increasing caloric intake, as well.
