Indian Diet Reverses Type 2 Diabetes in 6 Months!
13 Nov
Summary
- 60.9% of adults with early Type 2 diabetes achieved remission.
- A six-month intervention included a traditional Indian diet.
- Consistent walking significantly increased remission odds.
A recent study involving 87 adults with early Type 2 diabetes has shown remarkable results, with 60.9% achieving remission after a six-month intervention. This program focused on a Local Healthy Moderate Carbohydrate (LHMC) diet, incorporating familiar Indian foods like chapatis, lentils, and vegetables, alongside daily physical activity. Participants experienced an average weight reduction of 4.67 kg and a significant decrease in HbA1c levels from 7.32% to 6.27%.
The study, published in Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and Reviews, emphasized the crucial role of physical activity. Those adhering to an 80% or higher walking routine showed 8.24 times greater odds of remission. Experts noted that patients did not require restrictive diets, but rather measured portions of traditional Indian meals and daily walks, demonstrating that early-stage diabetes can be managed effectively with culturally relevant lifestyle changes.
