Introduction: Diabetics are very cautious about their diet, they are worried that their blood sugar will be out of control because of improper diet, and the consequences of blood sugar loss are unbearable for all diabetics, whether serious or not, it may lead to complications. Even if it is only a mild complication, diabetics can not afford it. The most critical thing is that some complications will recur, which will bring great distress to patients.
To avoid physical problems, sugar friends will be very picky about their diet. If they hear something about diet, they act very worried, worried that they will miss an important piece of information, but they don't know that some of the statements are incorrect. For example, is it true that someone online says that drinking milk increases insulin resistance? Let's take a look.
Does regular drinking of milk increase insulin resistance?
First of all, this statement is wrong, drinking milk does not increase insulin resistance, diabetic friends do not raise blood sugar after drinking milk for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it. The main reason for this misunderstanding is that milk contains lactose, which some people believe is also sugar, and that increased intake can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar. But in fact, the effect of lactose on blood sugar can be said to be insignificant.
Unlike other sugars, it does not break down quickly after entering the body, which converts into glucose, which can cause blood sugar to rise when it enters the bloodstream. Nevertheless, in the process of drinking milk, there is still one thing to pay attention to, that is, to choose milk.
If it is low-fat or skim milk, it can reduce fat intake, after all, high fat intake can also have an impact on blood sugar. In addition, some milk is not pure enough, advertising will tell us that there are no additives, in fact, some sweeteners will be added, this milk will also affect blood sugar. In addition, lactic acid bacteria milk and some fruit-flavored yogurts are not recommended for diabetics.
Regardless of the above concerns, pure milk can still be drunk, but please note the two points mentioned above, one is to choose skim or low-fat milk, and the other is that milk with a lot of additives is not suitable for drinking. If you pay attention to these two points, you can drink milk safely.
There are many other rumors about milk, such as the fresher the milk, the more nutritious it is, and so on. In fact, it makes no difference, the shelf life of the milk is different, because the sterilization techniques used are different. Short shelf life means that pasteurized milk stored in the refrigerator is relatively strict.
Most ordinary milk with a long shelf life is sterilized instantaneously at high temperatures, both of which can ensure the freshness and taste of milk, and there is no difference in nutrition.
Rumors about milk
1. Will it be more nutritious to drink milk in the morning?
Some people think that it is best to drink milk in the morning, because the nutrients in milk are more easily absorbed by the human body and can provide more nutrients for the human body. Such an analysis seems plausible, but it turns out that milk is almost the same at all times. The nutrients contained in milk are certain, no matter how strong the ability to absorb nutrients in the morning, how much can our body absorb?
2. Can drinking milk before going to bed help sleep?
As we all know, everyone has different causes of insomnia, milk helps with sleep, mainly because tryptophan in milk can help synthesize melatonin, and melatonin can also help us fall asleep faster. In reality, however, in order to synthesize enough melatonin, we need to consume too much milk. Drinking too much milk is not only easy to flatulence, but also increases the production of urine, which is not conducive to sleep.
Conclusion: When you see these claims, please do not easily believe them.
