Grandma?s recipes may not be wrong after all. New scientific evidence suggests that some vegetables help in keeping diabetes at bay.
In studies carried out by researchers from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), the juices of 13 commonly available vegetables were found to be inhibiting the activity of an enzyme associated with development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
Ashok Kumar Tiwari, principal scientist and his group carried out the research whose findings were published recently in ?Pharmacologia?, an international scientific journal of Science Reuters, U.K.
Talking to The Hindu, Dr. Tiwari said the phenomenon of insulin resistance was generally more in South Asians than other ethnic groups. As a result, although South Asians secrete more insulin than others, glucose uptake by tissues was less and it remains in the blood causing hyperglycaemia.
He said the juices of the 13 vegetables were evaluated separately in vitro and it was found that they displayed varying levels of anti-insulin resistance properties.
