Exercise Coupled With Vegetarian Diet For Black People

Black population is at the double risk to be diagnosed with diabetes than the non-Hispanic whites. In order to cure the problem and to avert the risk, it is very important that the African Americans should opt for vegetarian diet over non-vegetarian diet and be physically fit.

Lead researcher Serena Tonstad from Loma Linda University has concluded that vegetarian diet would make prevent them from diabetes but it is equally important that they should exercise three times a week.

Not only African American people, but this recommendation could be extended to Black Americans living in the US, said Tonstad. The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services report also supports the findings of the research.

As per them, black people due to weak immune system are at greater risk, and could be diagnosed with end-stage renal cancer or with lower-extremity amputations. Prevention gap is quite high in vegetarian blacks than in no- vegetarian blacks.

Tonstad said black people, who take relish vegetarian diet, are at 70% reduced risk to acquire diabetes and those who take dairy products but not meat they are at an upper edge by 53%.

The link between vegetarian diet and reduced chances of type 2 diabetes as per Tonstad is that vegetarian diet is rich in fibres and pulses, grains helps to improve glycemic level in the body and also slows down the absorption rate of carbohydrate.

Study which was being funded by the National Institutes of Health and by the School of Public Health has also affirmed that those, who perform exercise three days, a weak are at 35% reduced rate to acquire diabetes than those, who do exercise once a week or miss out completely.

Nutrition, Metabolism Cardiovascular Diseases journal published research has tried to promote vegetarian diet, and Tonstad affirmed, “These findings are encouraging for preventing type 2 diabetes in the black population, which is more susceptible to the disease than other populations”.
