Scientists have found that mindful people tend to maintain healthier levels of blood glucose, making it a potential determinant of diabetes risk.
Those who score high on mindfulness — the ability of being aware of one’s current thoughts and feelings — are significantly more likely than people with low scores to have healthy glucose levels, suggests new research. Elevated glucose levels may increase risk of Type-2 diabetes. The researchers also sought to identify factors that might explain the connection they saw between higher mindfulness and healthier glucose levels.
