A diet centered on fruits and vegetables is associated with lower 2-hour plasma glucose levels and may attenuate higher levels seen with prolonged sitting, such as when watching TV, according to study data.
“Lifestyles are most likely to interact with each other,”
Tina Cao, MD, PhD, a research fellow at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and the University of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, told Healio. “With more convenient modern lifestyle, it is inevitable sometimes to have increased sitting time. We already know that prolonged sitting time is harmful to your glucose metabolism, but it is not the end of the world. If you can improve your diet to be healthier, it might alleviate the adverse effect on glucose with sitting time.”
