Don’t Want Metabolic Syndrome? Then Not Eating Nuts is Nuts!

In some ways, metabolic syndrome is the disease of our age. It is diagnosed in the presence of any 3 of the following 5 symptoms: abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose. It is heavily influenced by our bad diet. Help that should no longer be surprising, but is, may come from eating nuts, help that may be especially important if you have diabetes.

Nuts still struggle under the underserved reputation of being fattening. They’re not. Shaking that bad rap is important because eating nuts may actually help with overweight conditions like metabolic syndrome.

The most recent proof of the benefits of eating nuts comes from a study of type I diabetics and their risk of metabolic syndrome. There were 1058 people in the study.

Those who ate more nuts had lower metabolic syndrome scores, smaller waist circumference, lower body mass index and lower HbA1c, which is the most important marker of long term blood sugar and diabetes control.

They were less likely to have metabolic syndrome or any of the high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol or poor blood sugar control that come with it.

People who ate nuts at least twice a week—an easy target—were 51.8% less likely to struggle with blood sugar control, 33.4% less likely to be overweight and 51.8% less likely to have metabolic syndrome, 37.3% less likely to have abdominal obesity, 44.5% less likely to have high blood pressure, 37.7% less likely to have elevated triglycerides and 36.2% less likely to have low HDL cholesterol.

The researchers conclude that eating nuts at least twice a week improves all the components of metabolic syndrome in type I diabetics.

Though this may be the first study of nuts and type I diabetes, it is not the first study to find that nuts benefit diabetics. An earlier study found that eating nuts is associated with preventing death from many causes, including diabetes. And the reward is large: eating nuts reduces the risk of dying from diabetes by 39%. In type 2 diabetics, eating nuts has been shown to significantly improve fasting blood glucose and HbA1c.

So don’t listen to the gossip about nuts. If you have diabetes, then not eating nuts is nuts!
