"You're overeating sugar!" The doctor opened his hands and looked at Cai Mingzhu who walked in the door with a surprised expression.
At this moment, Cai Mingzhu was still immersed in the afterglow of the health lecture held in the community hospital, and was a little confused by the doctor's sudden assertion.
Cai Mingzhu, a 48-year-old southern woman, makes her career a small but popular local specialty food vendor.
Today, the health talk at the community hospital made her realize the importance of daily eating habits, especially the "sugar intake and health" part of the doctor's explanation, which made her discuss with her family when she returned home.
"Do you know what happens if the doctor says you eat too much sugar today?" Cai Mingzhu shared with great interest at the dinner table at home.
During the lecture, the doctor mentioned a case of a middle-aged man who not only gained weight but also kept his blood sugar level high due to long-term excessive sugar intake.
The patient doesn't have a lot of sweets, but likes to add a lot of sugar to the cooking to enhance the taste of the food, and unknowingly eats a lot of sugar.
Eventually, he had to face warnings about prediabetes.
After hearing this, Cai Mingzhu suddenly realized something, "Am I not like this?" Every time I stir-fry, I like to put more sugar, saying that it tastes more delicious this way. She muttered to herself as she recalled her cooking habits.
In the lecture, the doctors also highlighted the dangers of too much sugar, which can affect heart health, increase the risk of diabetes, and lead to obesity.
Cai Mingzhu realized that although her daily exercise was okay, this seemingly harmless habit may be the culprit that caused her recent abnormal physical examination results.
In this physical examination, Cai Mingzhu's blood sugar level was significantly higher than the normal range.
Your doctor's advice is to immediately adjust your diet, reduce your sugar intake, monitor your blood sugar levels, and take medication if necessary.
At this moment, Cai Mingzhu sat at the dining table, thinking about how to adjust her cooking habits.
"Perhaps, I can try substituting other condiments for sugar, such as soy sauce or homemade spices, to maintain the taste and control the sugar intake." She said to her family.
To further confirm this view, Cai Mingzhu began to look up various healthy diet materials.
She learned that too much sugar can indeed interfere with the body's normal metabolism, and that using a low-sugar or sugar-free flavoring regimen can not only help control blood sugar, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of other chronic diseases.
In the following weeks, Ms. Choi began implementing her "low-sugar cooking plan."
She gradually reduced the sugar in her dishes, added more natural spices and herbs, and experimented with new dishes.
The family reacted surprisingly well to the changes, even saying that the new dishes were even more delicious than the original.
A few months later, Cai Mingzhu had another physical examination, and the results were gratifying.
Her blood sugar levels have dropped significantly, and her overall health has improved significantly.
This experience not only changed Cai Mingzhu's lifestyle, but also made her realize the importance of health knowledge.
She decided to continue her studies and explore more about healthy eating.
In response to the content of this article, a question worth exploring in depth is: how to effectively reduce the sugar intake in cooking while maintaining the flavor of traditional dishes?
We know that sugar is one of the most important factors in enhancing the taste of food, especially in some traditional dishes.
How to make healthy adjustments without sacrificing the traditional flavors of these dishes is a question that deserves the consideration of all culinary enthusiasts and healthy lifestyle seekers.
