“From the article: After taking account of influential factors, such as salt intake, working hours, weight and family history of diabetes, smokers were almost three times as likely to have a brain bleed as non-smokers.”

“Interestingly, participants in the high-inflammation group had higher body mass indexes, greater diabetes prevalence, and lower HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. These findings suggest that anthocyanins improve cognitive function among people with high inflammation.”

“Certain populations are at greater risk for deficiency, especially older adults, dark-skinned people (such as those of African or Hispanic descent), and people who have obesity, low education, or diabetes.”

“By contrast, sugar-sweetened beverages, which were strongly linked to a higher risk of death, can lead to fat buildup in the liver, promoting insulin resistance and increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

“The results were adjusted for many possible confounding factors including baseline age, alcohol consumption, BMI, physical exercise, socioeconomic status, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, type 2 diabetes, previous heart attack, resting heart rate and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.”

“Because growth hormone can increase insulin production to a harmful degree, the investigators used metformin, a common diabetes drug, and dehydroepiandrosterone, a steroid precursor, to control symptoms of diabetes.”

“People with sleep apnea are at greater risk of high blood pressure, stroke, abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, diabetes, weight gain, and heart attacks. This review identifies links between sleep apnea and testosterone levels.”

“This applies to meals too. Eating out of sync with the body's circadian rhythms in metabolism and melatonin release causes glucose dysregulation—a risk factor for diabetes. This is why time-restricted eating (TRE) is so beneficial.”

“Other research has shown that heavy drinking contributes to a large waist circumference, which is associated with a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Cutting back on alcohol consumption may help reduce waist circumference.”

“Beta carotene is found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Epidemiological data suggest that consumption of carotenoid-rich foods reduces the risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, macular degeneration, and prostate cancer.”
