But for a Hispanic\/Latino American adult, there is more than a 50% chance, and it is likely to develop at a younger age. Diets rich in healthy foods containing fiber, may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fiber, like that found in avocados, slows down food digestion which promotes satiety and prevents rapid rises in blood glucose following a meal,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Krista Linares<\/span>, Registered Dietitian and Saborea Uno Hoy spokesperson. &#8220;Since most adults don&#8217;t get enough dietary fiber, it is beneficial to raise awareness of easy ways to boost intake. Delicious avocados add fiber to the diet and are already a much-loved staple in Hispanic homes.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Dietary Guidelines for Americans point to strong evidence that healthy eating patterns are associated with positive health outcomes. The Hass Avocado Board&#8217;s Avocado Nutrition Center is continually studying how eating fresh avocados can have a positive effect on reducing risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
