Reduce Blood Glucose Throughout the Day by Drinking Milk at Breakfast
Studies show consuming milk at breakfast can help control glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Living with diabetes is a challenge most of us can't imagine, those of us who live with it daily are constantly working on keeping the levels balanced. This requires a lot of checking and rechecking levels, dietary restrictions, and exercise to remain as healthy as possible. Because more and more people are diagnosed everyday with type 2 diabetes we have to develop strategies that will aid people in living with a better quality of life.
A study published in the Journal of Dairy Science found that by adding milk to your normal breakfast routine can not only help balance glucose levels but help you feel fuller longer. Researchers found that by increasing proteins in combination with a high carbohydrate breakfast could help control the glucose levels even after their second meal of the day. The whey and casein proteins naturally found in milk released a hormone slowing the digestion of food causing the patient to feel more satiated after a meal. This just helps further the belief that a healthy breakfast is an important start to any day, especially those with type 2 diabetes.
