10 Benefits of Sardines
Benefit #9: Helps Diabetics
It is important that we don’t have too much (or too little) sugar circulating in our blood. This is not a problem for most people because the body produces insulin, a hormone that helps to regulate levels of sugar in the blood. Unfortunately, though, some people have a resistance to this hormone.
Resistance to insulin is known as type 2 diabetes and it is a serious problem all over the world. Studies have shown, though, that proteins in sardines may be able to increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin, potentially allowing diabetics to regulate their own blood sugar levels.
