The amount of calcium the body absorbs might depend, in part, of the amount of fiber that is consumed.

The researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center reported that patients with diabetes (type 2) excrete less calcium through your urine when they consume 50 grams of fiber a day, on the contrary when they consume only 24 grams, at a lower excretion of calcium, the greater the absorption of the same on the part of the agency.

“We already know that fiber helps improve the control of the glucose and cholesterol, in addition to improve the intestinal regularly, but our new findings suggest that the dietary fiber reduces the agency’s ability to absorb calcium,” said Dr. Abhimanyu Garg, professor of internal medicine and a researcher at the Center for Human Nutrition in the UT Southwestern.

He is lead author of a study that appears in the Diabetes Care. “Because more calcium equals better bone health, recommended that the people to the diets high in fiber should talk with your doctor about the increase in your diet of calcium and in order to get the most benefit of both”.

Dr. Garg said it was important to talk to a doctor or a registered dietician before increasing their calcium intake, due to excessive levels can cause kidney stones.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a daily intake of 24 grams of dietary fiber, but the average American consumes about 14 to 15 grams of fiber a day.

The dietary fiber is the part indigestible of plant foods that pushes the food through the digestive system, is involved in the water absorption and facilitates the defecation.

The diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism that prevents regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. We all need energy that gives us the glucose in the blood to carry out the typical activities of daily life such as walking, cycling, running the bus and sports.

From our food, the liver is responsible for producing the blood glucose, which is governed by several hormones, including the insulin.

In the first place would be good to remember that diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism, i.e. the process by which the foods they eat are converted into energy.

The insulin has a fundamental role in the process, because during digestion decompose food with the objective of creating glucose, one of the sources of energy in the body.

The glucose passes to the blood, where the insulin makes it possible to enter the cells. When people have diabetes happens that: or the pancreas does not produce insulin, or produces very little, what is known by the name of Type 1 Diabetes. AND type 2 diabetes that occurs when cells do not respond to the insulin production.

In the case of the type 1 diabetes is very difficult prevent It, however, in the case of the type 2 diabetes can take some measures to reduce the impact of the disease.
