The World Health Organization estimates that type 2 diabetes will be the seventh biggest killer in the world by mid-century.

Studies indicate that this condition, characterized by excessive thirst, blurred vision and fatigue, can be prevented with the help of a number of lifestyle habits.

Eating one food a day has been shown to increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the British newspaper Express.

The seriousness of this disease is that it is the precursor to a myriad of health problems – some of which are life threatening.

The condition occurs when cells in the body become less sensitive to the efforts of insulin to push glucose into the cells, which is known as insulin resistance, hence certain foods, which rank high on the cell. glycemic index, should be avoided at all costs.

Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population.

Research conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health assessed whether food can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

The researchers used a data set on the eating habits of 325,000 people from Japan, China, the United States and Australia.

Dietary trends were monitored over a 22-year follow-up period.

The results revealed that consuming 5.6 ounces of cooked rice was associated with an 11% increased risk of diabetes.

White rice ranks high on the glycemic index, which leads to a high level of sugar.

These findings contrast sharply with the UK National Health Service’s (NHS) suggestion that people with diabetes should continue to eat pasta, rice and bread as staple foods.

Brown rice is sometimes recommended for diabetics because of its high fiber content.

Emma Elvin, Senior Clinical Advisor at Diabetes UK, advises switching to high fiber foods such as brown rice, wholegrain bread, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, oats and barley .

“Fiber fills you up, helps control blood sugar levels, and keeps your digestive system healthy, which helps with weight loss,” she explained.
