Discover more easy ways to prevent diabetes
New research presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2024 annual meeting has found another way you can reduce your risk of diabetes by almost 50% from your sleep habits.
Scientists from Leiden University (Netherlands) studied the link between sleep duration, diabetes and body fat distribution in more than 5,000 participants, mainly in their mid-50s.
Participants reported their usual wake-up and sleep times.
Staying up late can lead to circadian rhythm imbalance - which can lead to metabolic disorders and eventually type 2 diabetes.
From there, the authors divided the participants into three groups:
- Group 1 - late chronotype, includes people who go to bed the latest.
- Group 2 - early chronotypes, which include the % of people who go to bed early.
- Group 3 - intermediate chronotype, includes people who go to bed neither too early nor too late.
During nearly 7 years of follow-up, 225 people developed type 2 diabetes.

3 types of green vegetables that people with cardiovascular disease should prioritize eating
Green leafy vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. The nutrients in green vegetables provide many benefits. One benefit that not everyone knows about is that they help improve heart health.
Research shows that green vegetables are one of the best sources of nitrates in the daily diet. Nitrates in green vegetables are natural compounds that bring many benefits to the heart, according to the health information website Everyday Health (USA).
Spinach is not only rich in vitamins A, C, K but also a quality source of iron.
In a study published in the European Journal of Epidemiology , Danish scientists analyzed data collected from more than 50,000 people. They found that eating just one cup of nitrate-rich vegetables a day can reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 26%.
Nitrates, when entering the body, have the effect of dilating blood vessels, helping to increase blood circulation. Thanks to that, oxygen and nutrients from the blood will reach the organs in the body more effectively. Some research evidence also shows that people who consume enough nitrate will have stronger motor function in the legs and walk faster than people who consume less nitrate.
