Diabetes is a common disease around the world, so neuroscientist Nick Lesica from University College London spoke about an effective diet for this disease..

According to him, people with diabetes should adhere to intermittent eating, which will also be an excellent prevention of type 2 diabetes..

The scientist analyzed two studies:.

- the first described a diet that was tested on laboratory rodents that could not produce leptin on their own - this is a hormone involved in the regulation of satiety. Animals constantly overate and suffered from diabetes since childhood. After a few months of intermittent feeding - this is an alternation of seven days of normal food and four days of a low-carbohydrate diet, the mice showed no symptoms of the disease, and also decreased body weight..

- in the second study, intermittent eating was tested on people who followed the diet for 30 days: 25 days of unlimited eating and five days of restricted. As a result, all respondents had a decrease in blood sugar levels..

Of course, more research is needed for more detailed conclusions, but given these two experiments, intermittent dieting helps with type 2 diabetes..
