Even to a small extent, processed meats can cause diabetes
A recent study, presented by the British The Guardian, draws attention to the fact that eating two slices of ham a day can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 15%. The research conducted by the University of Cambridge and involving nearly 2 million people in 20 countries worldwide provides the most comprehensive evidence to date of the connection between meat consumption and diabetes.
Processed meats and diabetes: the connection
Based on the results of the research, regular consumption of processed and red meat significantly increases the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Analyzing the data, it was found that even two slices of ham per day are enough to increase the risk of the disease by 15%. This is of particular concern as more than 400 million people worldwide already suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is a leading cause of many serious health problems such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and limb amputation.
The role of diet in prevention
Scientific evidence suggests that a proper diet is key to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. In addition to a healthy diet, regular exercise and weight loss are also essential methods of preventing the disease. According to the researchers, reducing meat consumption, especially avoiding processed meats, can make a significant contribution to reducing the risk of diabetes.
