Coffee could lower diabetes risk

Engineers in Australia have discovered a way to make stronger concrete using roasted leftover coffee grounds, giving the drink additive a "second chance" and reducing waste going to landfills.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that makes it difficult to regulate blood sugar levels. For many people, the condition worsens with time, making it harder to control blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is one example of a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has given patients more control over blood sugar lowering.

Higher levels of overall physical activity, particularly moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity, was shown to have a robust connection with a decreased risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes in a study done by the University of Sydney

People with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) may be able to better control their blood sugar levels by making a small adjustment to the first meal of the day, according to an international team of researchers led by UBC Okanagan academics.

The composition of the intestinal microbiota is influenced by a variety of factors, including nutrition and the body's production of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which has been discovered by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, they discovered a potential function for these molecules in stopping blood sugar levels from rising after consuming a high-calorie "Western-style diet."

According to a study by UC Davis Health researchers, inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis may be brought on by a Western diet high in fat and sugar.

There is a mountain of evidence indicating stress is a primary cause of common and fatal diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes, asthma, cancer, osteoporosis, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, memory loss, and premature ageing.

People living with a spouse seem to have a higher likelihood of being healthy in terms of maintaining lower blood sugar levels regardless of how harmonious or acrimonious their relationship is, suggests a study published online in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.

A recent study conducted by scientists at the Universities of Arizona and Kansas suggests that working at a busy coffee shop may be healthier than doing so in a quiet office.
