275 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 from Mumbai were divided into two groups. The participants of the first group received 56 g of raw almonds every day, which corresponds to about 5 nuts, and the control group consumed snacks made of various types of flour and spices.

These people had snacks twice a day, but otherwise maintained their usual lifestyle and regular diet and exercise regimen. It should be noted that each of the experiment participants already had metabolic markers that indicated prediabetes.

The study was conducted for three months. It turned out that it was in the group on almonds that there was a significant decrease in glycosylated hemoglobin, which indicates the ability to control blood sugar levels. in this group, the markers of the inflammatory marker Il-6 also decreased.
