About Nutrition
• A high-fiber diet can help patients with type 2 diabetes reduce blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. In this study, patients ate a Mediterranean-style diet high in fruits, vegetables, and grains. The diet provided 50 grams of fiber per day.
New England Journal of Medicine
• Eating a wide range of foods may be your best defense against colon cancer. One study looked at the diets of 1,225 men and women over a two-year period. Those who ate the widest variety of foods, particularly vegetables, had the lowest risk of colon cancer.
Preventive Medicine
• A healthy, low-fat diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and grains may help you live longer. A six-year survey of 42,254 women ages 35 to 74 compared food intake with death rates. Women who ate the healthiest diets had a 30% lower risk of death from any cause, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
