Winter is a great time for health maintenance, Chinese medicine says that "qi begins with the winter solstice", life activities begin on the day of the winter solstice, from decay to prosperity, from static rotation. At this time, scientific health care helps to ensure strong energy and prevent premature aging, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life. Winter diet should be diversified, grain, fruit, meat, vegetables should be reasonable matching, but for rice can not eat enough, fruit can not eat more, sweets basically do not touch the diabetics should choose?
In fact, diabetic diet is not equal to the life of an ascetic, how to eat delicious and healthy, but also to make blood sugar control smooth, which can be very exquisite. Let's talk about what details diabetic friends need to pay attention to in terms of eating.
The dietary requirements for diabetic friends are to control the intake of total calories, according to the individual's body size, fat and thin, age and activity to determine how much to eat each meal, you can also take the form of eating fewer meals, appropriately reduce the amount of food at meals, put the part of the uniform between meals or before going to bed late as a meal, so that you can avoid postprandial hyperglycemia, but also prevent hypoglycemia at night. Diabetic friends cooking methods are also very exquisite, food soft and hard, raw cooking, thin, particle size has an impact on the food glycemic index, you can take steaming, cooking, mixing methods, try not to fry, fry or braise, to avoid excessive loss of nutrients and fat, calorie intake exceeds the standard.
In addition, diabetics should also have a certain order of eating, usually soup is preferred, followed by vegetables, followed by meat and eggs, and finally staple foods, so that the blood sugar after eating can be kept at a stable level. In addition to controlling calorie intake, the diabetic diet should also take into account a balanced diet and consume various nutrients such as sugars, proteins, fats, and minerals in proportion. But it is completely undesirable to maintain blood sugar with excessive dieting or a vegan or even "valley-breaking" approach. Because although the early blood sugar will decrease with the reduction of calorie intake, but then due to insufficient nutrient intake, the energy required for human activities can only be obtained through the decomposition of body fat. Fat decomposes while producing ketones, and too much accumulation of ketones in the body can cause ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
After mastering the diabetic diet law, let's take a look at what foods are good for maintaining blood sugar! The dietary structure of diabetics should be simple, staple foods can be cereals and potatoes, coarse grains and fine grains should be ingested, coarse grains are rich in nutrients, especially dietary fiber, which can help friends effectively control the rise of blood sugar. It also contains some minerals that can keep your friend's blood sugar on a relatively stable trend.
In addition, the way grain potatoes are made is equally important, for example, whole wheat steamed buns are a good choice, but if they are made into delicate flour, they cannot be eaten more, and if they are made of butter and sugar to make biscuits, then blood sugar will have a red light. At the same time, it should be noted that compared with rice steamed buns, sticky porridge and noodles digest and absorb quickly, and the glycemic index is high, and after ingestion, the blood sugar after ingestion will be significantly increased, so diabetic friends try to eat dry and drink less thin.
Vegetables generally contain a large amount of food fiber, and carbohydrate content is very small, after eating to control diabetes is beneficial, so the intake of vegetables is generally not strictly limited, but the vegetables eaten must be low blood sugar production index, such as winter melon, cabbage, rape, spinach, celery, etc., but vegetables with a large amount of carbonaceous hydrate should be strictly limited, such as rhizome vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, lotus, broad beans, etc., if it is inevitable to eat such vegetables, Then it is necessary to calculate the nutritional composition of this part of the vegetable in detail, and at the same time reduce the amount of staple food accordingly.
When the blood sugar of diabetic friends is in a stable state, you can eat low-sugar fruits in moderation, such as watermelon, oranges, grapefruit, kiwifruit, lemons, plums, etc., and try not to eat bananas, grapes, dates, cantaloupe and other high-sugar fruits. In general, it is advisable to eat fruit between meals, or when hungry and after physical activity, as an energy and nutrient supplement, it is not recommended to eat fruit immediately before or after meals, avoid excessive intake of carbohydrates at one time, resulting in high blood sugar after meals and increasing the burden on the pancreas.
In addition, the choice of fruit should be based on their own situation, if diabetic friends have a blood glucose meter at home, you can measure your blood sugar before eating fruit and 2 hours after eating fruit, which is very helpful to know whether you can eat this fruit and whether you eat too much.
In the diabetic diet, protein foods are essential, mainly including lean meat, livestock meat, poultry, fish, shrimp and other aquatic products, eggs, milk and so on. Diabetic friends need to eat 1 egg or 1 bag of milk and an appropriate amount of lean meat every day, when eating dairy products, it is best to choose nonfat or low-fat dairy products, meat is best to choose chicken, duck, fish and cattle, you can also eat beans to replace part of the meat intake, but it is best not to eat pork, fat, animal offal and processed meat products.
In addition, it is now the season when all kinds of nuts are on the market, and diabetics must also master the amount of nuts when eating nuts, including melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, etc., and the calories and oils are very high. For sugar friends who do not like to drink water and love to drink, it should also be noted that the wine has higher calories and no nutrients, diabetic friends drinking on an empty stomach is easy to cause hypoglycemia, and drinking will often disrupt normal eating and medication and lead to blood sugar fluctuations, so, for health and safety, diabetic friends or do not drink alcohol as well, if you really can't get rid of it, in the case of the condition, you can drink a little red wine or beer.
I believe that everyone now has a certain understanding of what to eat, how much to eat, how to eat, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, "keep your mouth shut" is the key, diet treatment is the most basic in diabetes care, but also the most complex and difficult to implement one, but if there is no good diet control, the drug is in vain.
