It could increase the risk of diabetes
Weight gain is closely related to several health problems, among which diabetes. Eating fatty, processed, sugar-laden foods instead of fruits and vegetables is a sure way to cause spikes in your blood glucose and increase your risk of diabetes.
More and more studies show that the consumption of fruits and vegetables can help regulate the glucose level and reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Nutrient-dense vegetables such as leafy greens or cruciferous vegetables are some of the most efficient in preventing and reversing the effects of diabetes. Moreover, non-starchy foods are packed with fiber and phytochemicals and don’t affect blood glucose in any way, so they can be consumed freely.
