Eating with a close partner may influence the body in a surprising way, new research suggests.
uncertain
research → eat → way
While researchers say the effect varies from person to person, a recent study suggests that eating with a loved one impacts how the body regulates blood sugar after a meal.
uncertain
body → say → meal
Participants in the study were given meals containing the same amount and type of carbohydrates, and researchers measured their blood glucose after eating.
asserted
researchers → give → glucose
When participants ate together, researchers observed a smaller rise in glucose and a quicker return toward baseline compared with when they ate alone.
asserted
they → eat → baseline
The findings, however, do not mean that everyone will experience the same effect.
asserted
everyone → mean → effect
Shir Atzil, Ph.D., the study's co-author and a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, told Fox News Digital that researchers observed substantial individual differences.
"While we observe the principle of social physiology at the population level, we have seen tremendous individual differences in how much individuals benefit or even actually lose from being together — so not everyone benefits the same amount," Atzil said.
asserted
Atzil → tell → amount
"Some people gain a huge benefit from being with their partners," she said.
asserted
she → gain → partners
"Some people gain a small benefit — and some people actually regulate themselves better when they're alone."
asserted
they → gain → themselves
The research, published in the journal Science Advances in late September, was based on a concept known as social physiology, which examines how being near a close partner may affect physiological processes.
uncertain
being → publish → processes
Atzil described the theory as suggesting that "our most basic physiological processes, [our] bodily homeostasis, the process of just keeping the body up and running, is actually working more efficiently when we're in proximity with a close partner.
asserted
we → describe → partner
"
More research is needed to understand why people respond differently, Atzil emphasized.
asserted
Atzil → need → ?
She said she plans to continue testing the social physiology theory.
asserted
she → say → theory
Social setting is also only one of many factors that can affect blood glucose.
asserted
that → affect → glucose
Erin Palinski-Wade, a New York-area registered dietitian specializing in diabetes, told Fox News Digital that the amount and type of carbohydrates consumed are particularly important.
asserted
amount → register → carbohydrates
She noted that blood sugar can also be affected by factors including stress, sleep, physical activity and a person's surroundings.
asserted
sugar → note → stress
"Stress, whether you had [quality sleep] the night before, how active you were that day, even things like the temperature of the room, noise pollution — all of those things can impact blood sugar," Palinski-Wade said.
asserted
Wade → have → sugar
Persistently elevated glucose can contribute to serious health problems over time.
asserted
glucose → elevate → time
Regulating blood sugar after meals is important because persistently elevated glucose can contribute to serious health problems over time, including heart, kidney, eye and nerve damage, according to the National Institutes of Health.
uncertain
glucose → regulate → Health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) specifically recommends monitoring glucose two hours after a meal for many people with diabetes — and notes that keeping blood sugar within the target range helps prevent or delay serious health issues.
asserted
keeping → recommend → issues
