Diabetes is having a catastrophic impact on people in the African American community. Diabetes is the 5th leading cause of death for African Americans and their death rate is 27 percent more than whites. Let’s find out is cassava good for diabetics?
More than 2.8 million African Americans have diabetes and nearly one-third of them do not know they suffer from the condition. Additionally, twenty-five percent of African Americans between the ages between 65 and 74 suffer from diabetes, and one out of 4 African American women, over 55 have been diagnosed with the disease.
The causes of diabetes are unknown, however, researchers believe that genetics, as well as environmental factors, influence the people who develop the disease.
Heredity
The researchers believe African Americans and African Immigrants are at risk of developing diabetes. Studies suggest that African Americans and the most recent African immigrants carry a "thrifty gene" from their African ancestral ancestors.
This gene could have allowed Africans to utilize energy from food more effectively in times of Feast and Famine. In the present, with less frequent cycles of feasting and feast, this gene might make weight management complicated in African Americans and African Immigrants.
This genetic predisposition, when combined with impaired glucose tolerance is frequently linked to the genetic predisposition to high blood pressure. Patients with impaired glucose tolerance experience more than normal blood sugar concentrations and have a greater chance of developing diabetes.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes, also known in the form of "sugar diabetes", is an illness that develops when the body is not able to make or use insulin. Insulin is required by the body to transform sugar, starches, and various food products into energy. It is a chronic illness with no cure. Diabetes is a serious condition and shouldn't be overlooked.
Diabetics are often affected by low levels of glucose (sugar) that are present in the blood. Low levels of blood sugar can make you feel disoriented and sweaty. You may feel dizzy, dizzy, and hungry, experience headaches, suffer from abrupt mood swings, experience trouble paying attention, or experience discomfort around your mouth.
