Eating with someone you love could help your body regulate blood sugar, Israeli study finds
A Hebrew University study finds that eating with someone close may reduce blood sugar spikes and help the body regulate itself more efficiently
Assessment
A Hebrew University study suggests that the company you keep at mealtime may directly affect your metabolism. The finding that eating with a loved one reduces blood sugar spikes adds a social dimension to glucose regulation that is rarely studied. If replicated, this could shift dietary advice beyond what you eat to who you eat with. Watch for follow up research on whether the effect holds with different relationships or in larger groups.
