\u00a0A nutritionist, Ms Abigail Akintola, said on Tuesday in Jos that stress could trigger diabetes in an individual.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n

Akintola made this known in an interview with our correspondent<\/p>\n

`The more the stress in an individual, the more the body produces glucose, if the glucose builds up in the blood<\/a> stream this could lead to glucose rise in the body.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce a person is stressed, the body naturally produces more glucose (high sugar level) to help reenergise the body, after a while, the body system may not be able to covert the glucose into energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, if the body can no longer control the sugar level, there is tendency that such people might start developing diabetes.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Akintola, however, advised that people should always make out time to rest and limit the stressors in their lives to help keep their health<\/a> in check.<\/p>\n

She further advised that people should pay more attention to what they eat as most ailments were linked to what people consume and their lifestyles in general.<\/p>\n

She said that Nigerians should inculcate the act of eating healthy and drinking healthily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
