@plantbasedrd: #Ad Getting my fiber in first thing has been one of the biggest changes I've made for my health, and this breakfast toast is how I stick to it. This is a paid partnership with @Avocados - Love One Today, and the surprising ingredient is the avocado. Most people know it for the heart-healthy fats, but it's the fiber doing the real work. Avocados are a good source of dietary fiber, and fiber slows down food digestion, which prevents rapid rises in blood glucose following a meal. So your morning starts steady. And diets rich in healthy foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. So does avocado at breakfast actually help your blood sugar? Researchers looked into exactly that. In a clinical trial that included 31 adults with overweight or obesity, scientists found that including a half or whole avocado at breakfast decreased the participants' glucose and insulin when compared to the control breakfast. In this randomized, controlled, three-arm, six-hour postprandial, cross-over study supported by the Avocado Nutrition Center, a half or whole avocado replaced carbohydrate energy in a breakfast meal. Conclusions cannot be generalized to all populations, study length, or for different amounts of avocado. The findings in this study align with a growing body of evidence supporting avocados as beneficial for a type 2 diabetes diet. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu10091287 Tap the link in my bio to learn more. #LoveOneToday
