SHELLFISH FOUND

SHELLFISH FOUND TO INCREASE RISK OF DIABETES IN A 2009 STUDY – WHY MIGHT THIS BE?

Shellfish was found to increase the risk of diabetes

Shellfish, such as shrimp contains high cholesterol levels. If you consume them excessively, your cholesterol levels may shoot and influence your blood sugar directly. High cholesterol is harmful to the body. It can risk development of other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular illnesses. Therefore, I recommend reducing your intake because limited consumption serves better for diabetes.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
