This chain of events may lead to diabetes and CVD (cardiovascular disease). ” While it is possible to improve oxidative balance through consumption of antioxidants, studies using supplements of specific compounds have been less conclusive than studies measuring antioxidant intake from whole foods. Franzini et al. describe many reasons why this may be so. For example, ROS have very short half-lives (on the order of fractions of seconds), and therefore total antioxidant capacity of the blood may be a better marker of oxidative stress.
Bioactive Components in Edible Nuts and Health Benefits 39 As summarized by Kendall et al. (2010b), insulin sensitivity can be increased, hyperinsulinemia can be prevented, and glycemic control improved in type 2 diabetics by consuming foods that do not dramatically increase blood glucose or insulin levels after consumption.
