Living in cities with high levels of air pollution can increase insulin resistance and make people more prone to type 2 diabetes, the results of a Danish research study suggests.
A particular pollutant, known as nitric oxide, is specifically tied to increases in blood sugar levels. The study, published in Diabetes Care adds to mounting research which ties air pollution to blood glucose control and diabetes risk.
The researchers behind the study note that air pollution may increase systemic inflammation in the body, which can interfere with the action of the hormone insulin.
A natural way to heal diabetes naturally…
interesting
A very useful information which I personally feel will be of use to me by regulating my activities.
The "nitric acid" that compromises and could also cause diabetes, according to today's article, is in wood smoke–a major contributor to smog. If people would switch to gas firepits and fireplace inserts it would help all of us stay healthier. Especially kids.
Obviously, Nitric Acid is not to be confused with Nitric Oxide
I have type 2 diabetes
I’m reading a book called The Nitric Oxide (NO) Solution –
authors Bryan and Zand
It states that NO reduces the risk of suffering from several unhealthy conditions including diabetes
Please don’t confuse nitric oxide with all the other nitric and nitrate compounds.
Never heard of this before – Good information to pass along though.
Never heard of such a thing. Never lived in a big smog city and still have diabetes. What will they come up with next?
