Eating almonds daily can help control blood sugar in Asian Indians: Study

|13 MAY 2025
Consuming almonds daily can help control blood sugar levels in specific populations, such as Asian Indians, according to a research article.
-
Analysing previously published research on almonds and cardiometabolic health, an international team of researchers and physicians said almonds can help improve metabolic health by reducing 'bad' cholesterol and increasing beneficial gut bacteria.
Findings, published as a consensus article in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition, reinforce almonds' role as a heart-healthy, weight-supporting, and gut-friendly food, the team said.
The findings also reveal how almonds can potentially benefit specific populations such as Asian Indians, where rising rates of cardiometabolic diseases are a concern, study author Dr Anoop Misra, chairman of Fortis Centre for Diabetes, Obesity and Cholesterol, told PTI.
Consuming almonds was found to lower LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol by five units, and diastolic blood pressure in small but significant amounts of 0.17-1.3 mmHg.
