Obesity is treated as a social problem in Japan because it increases the risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases, but it is regarded as an urgent issue in the United States because 70% of the population is diagnosed with obesity. Regarding such obesity, a research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign conducted an experiment to measure the effect of the habit of 'eating one avocado a day' in 155 subjects with mild obesity and obesity.
The subjects are classified randomly to groups that do not eat the group and avocado to eat one day the avocado, in the group eating the avocado, as imports avocado in Japan general Hasuabokado the men 175g, women in an amount ratio of 140g I had them eat for 12 weeks. In addition, 90% of the ingredients other than avocado are common, and the meal itself is provided in a frozen pack designed to be an 'average American meal', and about meals other than this frozen pack Is required to submit detailed records.
Analysis of abdominal fat and glucose tolerance (ability to lower blood glucose to normal when blood glucose level rises) at the start of the experiment and after 12 weeks showed that female subjects who belonged to the avocado-eating group had visceral fat relative to subcutaneous fat. Was confirmed to decrease and abdominal fat other than visceral fat increased. However, there was no change in male abdominal fat and no change in glucose tolerance in both males and females.
People with a high proportion of visceral fat are known to be at increased risk of developing diabetes. The research team commented on the results, saying that 'ingestion of avocado may help to regulate abdominal fat to a healthy ratio' and 'shows the possibility that gender is important in dietary treatment'. He said he plans to conduct experiments in the form of complete control of his diet.
