On the table of Chinese, the habit of often eating high-calorie food is basically everyone, there are two types of food are the most typical, but also the most hurtful islets, diabetics should try to avoid:
1. Diabetics should avoid fried carbs
Representative Foods:
The fried dough sticks are as crispy as gold bars, the twist flowers are as light as blooming flowers, the fried cakes are like clouds falling into the oil pan, the fried vegetable boxes are like small treasure chests, the steamed dumplings are like golden threads, the oil is fragrant, and the croquettes are like golden pearls.
These delicious fried carbs are not only a pleasure for taste buds, but also a source of happiness for Chinese, but diabetics eat high blood sugar.
It is like a charismatic magician, always subtly bringing us laughter and satisfaction. However, under this veil of joy, there are some hidden health risks. Its nutritional structure is like a monotonous melody, lacking variety and depth, and its high calorie and ability to raise blood sugar quickly is like a gamble without a head, making people pay a heavy health price after a short period of pleasure.
What's more, it can easily cause the accumulation of saturated fatty acids in the body, just like the cold winter that is quietly coming, making the originally smooth blood vessels stiff and fragile, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis. And those heterocyclic amines and other substances produced in the process of high-temperature frying, like latent killers, quietly erode our health, and may even induce the evil consequences of cancer.
Damage of high-oil and high-carb foods to pancreatic islets:
In the wonderful arena of cooking, fried food has won people's love for its crispy texture and golden color. However, behind this wonderful transformation, there is a hidden "crisis". In the process of frying, the amount of free fatty acids in the food gradually increases like a beast escaping from the cage.
When these free fatty acids quietly enter our body, they begin a "covert destruction". These unrestrained molecules ruthlessly attack islet β cells, which are important guardians of our blood sugar stability. The function of the attacked β cells is gradually impaired, and the secretion of insulin is severely disrupted.
Insulin is the "commander" of blood sugar regulation in our body. When its secretion is affected, the body's ability to regulate blood sugar decreases, triggering insulin resistance. This is a silent "war", and our health is quietly becoming the "battlefield" of this war.
So, as delicious as fried food is, we need to be wary of the "health killers" behind it. While enjoying food, we should also pay attention to the health of the body, maintain a balanced and diverse diet, and make our lives better and healthier.
Suggestion:
Try to eat less or no fried food, and control the daily intake of cooking oil to 25-30 grams. If you particularly crave fried food, remember 2 points:
Savoury vegetarian meatballs, which are fried in lard, have excellent stability at high temperatures, and effectively reduce the formation of carcinogens and other harmful substances. This cooking method not only retains the original flavor of the ingredients, but also ensures the safety and health of the diet.
2. The second largest category of food that hurts the islets: pastries
Representative food: donkey rolling like a healthy shadow in the snow, pea yellow like a fresh poem in early summer, osmanthus cake like a rich poem in autumn, mung bean cake is a cool soothing in summer. Mooncakes are like the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, entrusting people's desire for reunion; Shaqima is like a wisp of sweetness, wrapped around the tip of the tongue; The jujube cake is like a touch of warm sun in winter, the pineapple cake is the sweet temptation of tropical style, and the wife cake is like love, sweet and warm, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
Pastries, like the shining pearls of Chinese cuisine, lie in their subtle sweetness. Chinese judgment of the beauty of pastries is often summed up in the most simple "not very sweet". Although no sugar is added, the pastry is converted into glucose by the action of digestive enzymes due to its delicate carbohydrate composition, which is absorbed by the body and quickly increases blood sugar levels. However, the beauty of pastries lies not only in their sweetness, but also in the clever use of fat. However, the addition of oil makes the pastry easy to produce free fatty acids during long-term storage. In the market, from time to time, some businesses have been notified by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau because the free fatty acids exceed the standard, that is, the acid price exceeds the standard. This reminds us that we need to pay attention to the health and safety of pastries while pursuing delicious pastries.
Damage to islets:
Free fatty acids flood into the human body like a tidal wave, becoming potential destroyers, eating away at the health of pancreatic islet β cells. These undesirable "guests" not only directly weaken the function of β cells, but also invisibly sow the seeds of disease. What's more, when the human body is immersed in a sea of high blood sugar for a long time, the expression of glucokinase on the cells of the pancreatic islet β is disturbed, as if it has lost its beacon of guidance. The intimate relationship between glucokinase and mitochondria was broken, the original balance of harmonious symbiosis was broken, and β cells went to the road of apoptosis in loneliness and helplessness. All this is happening quietly and silently, but it has a profound impact on human health.
Suggestion:
- Dear friends, I highly recommend that you make your own pastries at home, so that we can not only enjoy the process of making them, but also control the amount of sugar and oil used precisely for the sake of health. After all, our body is like a temple that deserves to be worshipped with the best ingredients.
- When the pastry gives off a hala flavor, it is a sign of rancid fatty acids, like fallen leaves in nature, telling us that it has passed the peak of life and is beginning to decay. At this time, please see it as a natural goodbye, let go gracefully, and no more nostalgia. Because, our bodies need fresh, healthy food, not foods that have begun to decay.
