In China, the elderly often say that "the happiest thing for people to be old is to eat well and have a good appetite" As the saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth", if you want to live happily and long in your old age, you can't eat as you want. If you don't eat in moderation, your body is likely to cause many diseases as a result. Therefore, the older you get, the more you need to shut your mouth and spread your legs!
With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, many friends who do not care about diet may become targets for diabetes. According to modern scientific research, diabetes is indeed one of the most common diseases in modern humans. As we all know, diabetes is a chronic disease that cannot be treated with one or two doses of medication, but only through a combination of long-term medication, diet and exercise.
The diet of diabetics is more demanding, because diet is the basis of hypoglycemic reduction, and only a good diet can make blood sugar drop smoothly.
What does it mean to say that the sugar rise is high or low?
The glycemic index is actually the ratio between the effect of food on elevated blood sugar and the effect of standard foods on elevated blood sugar. This number represents the degree to which the body responds to blood sugar after ingesting a certain amount of food. Therefore, the higher the glycemic index of a food, the stronger its ability to increase sugar.
The state of illness caused by diabetes is very complex and always gives people a very difficult feeling in real life. However, we must not think of it as too complicated, because from a nutritional point of view, as long as the glycemic index is combined with the daily diet, it is very easy to achieve the purpose of diabetic diet treatment.
In our daily lives, there are many small eating habits that can help lower blood sugar in food. For example, roughage should not be grown in detail, legumes should be eaten directly as whole grains rather than ground, and vegetables should not be cut.
Of course, in addition to the dietary method, controlling the production of glucose in the blood by controlling food, the main problem is to change your dietary approach. Next, the author will introduce some vegetables that are very common in life, but they are high in sugar.
Some vegetables are still "regular customers" on many people's dinner tables
1, carrots can not be eaten in large quantities
Some people with diabetes may wonder why people with diabetes can't eat carrots. In fact, it's not because carrots are a bit sweet, but because its sugar index is 71, which is a high sugar index food.
For sugar friends with unstable blood sugar control, it is not recommended to eat a large number of carrots at a time, but carrots are a food rich in vitamins, especially carotene, which can well protect blood vessels and relieve visual fatigue. Therefore, candy friends must eat the right amount of control.
2. Sauerkraut
Northerners have a deep love for sauerkraut, but eating a lot of sauerkraut is unhealthy. Sauerkraut is a typical savory food. After processing, it contains a large amount of nitrite. Excessive dietary intake is harmful to blood glucose stability, especially in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
3. Taro
The main ingredient of taro is starch. For people with diabetes, taro should not be considered a vegetable, but as a staple food. In addition, taro is cooked at high temperatures, and its sugar content increases rapidly. Therefore, diabetics should not eat or eat less as a staple food.
4, pumpkin should not be eaten in large quantities
As a health food, pumpkin has always been loved by people. Others even say that "pumpkin can lower blood sugar". In fact, no single food has the effect of lowering blood sugar, but with proper balance and mixing, we can better control blood sugar.
Pumpkin's glycemic index is 75, higher than carrots, so patients with unstable blood sugar should pay attention to avoiding as much as possible, and a large number of pumpkins is not conducive to blood sugar control.
For the above 4 kinds of vegetables, it is recommended that sugar friends do not eat too much. If you eat root vegetables with high starch content in your life, you should reduce your rice intake for the day accordingly, increase the intake of some leafy vegetables, pay attention to cooking methods, and monitor blood sugar levels in time every day.
