Sulforaphane from broccoli sprout extract improves fasting glucose and HbA1c in obese patients with dysregulated type 2 diabetes.
“At the end of the study period, the blood tests and the oral glucose challenge were repeated. The participants who took broccoli sprout extract and whose diabetes was well-controlled experienced no changes in their fasting blood sugar or HbA1c levels.”
Honey may benefit cardiometabolic health.
“Honey is a complex mixture of sugars, enzymes, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and other bioactive substances that exert antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiseptic effects in humans. Evidence suggests that honey benefits cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, and gastrointestinal health.”
Aerobic exercise counters the harmful effects of consuming regular sugar-sweetened beverages on endothelial function.
“High sugar intake is associated with several chronic diseases, including diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Some evidence suggests that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with abnormal blood lipid levels.”
Increased concentrations of sugars in the blood may lead to an inflammatory immune response & respiratory disease.
“FTA: > An imbalance in our metabolism can trigger inflammatory processes in the body and activate the immune system. In a recent study, researchers have been able to show that this applies even to newborns and children under one year of age, and is correlated with the development of respiratory diseases in early childhood.”
Compounds found in insecticides mimic melatonin, disrupt circadian rhythm, and may disrupt blood sugar and insulin levels.
“Compounds in insecticides are structurally similar to melatonin and can bind to melatonin receptors. The activation of melatonin receptors tells the body that it is night and time for rest and this can potentially affect glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion.”

“‘Exercise snacks’ before meals: a novel strategy to improve glycaemic control in individuals with insulin resistance - Short, intense exercise before meals effectively improves blood sugar control in those with insulin resistance.”
Berry-derived anthocyanins reverse impaired glucose tolerance in adults with prediabetes.
“Insulin levels one and two hours after the glucose drink dropped more in the anthocyanin group, suggesting the body needed less insulin to manage blood sugar. The study's main beta-cell function measure, the oral disposition index, did not clearly differ between groups.”
Drinking more than eight sugar-sweetened drinks a week increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases by up to 31%.
“A recent study found that consuming more than eight sugar-sweetened drinks weekly increases the risk of various cardiovascular diseases by as much as 31%. Researchers investigated links between sugar intake and cardiovascular disease among nearly 70,000 people.”
