Stabilize blood sugar

According to some research, pecans may help with blood sugar regulation, which may be due to their high fiber content. Although nuts are mostly composed of insoluble fiber that does not dissolve in water, they also include some soluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, generating a gel-like substance that travels through your body undigested and reduces sugar absorption.

One short research of 26 overweight or obese adults discovered that eating a pecan-rich diet for four weeks enhanced the body's ability to use insulin properly. Insulin is the hormone responsible for transporting sugar from the bloodstream into the cells. Furthermore, this diet increased the activity of beta cells in the pancreas, which produce insulin. Similarly, a meta-analysis of 12 research found that including tree nuts in your diet could help lower hemoglobin A1C levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control.
