<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > nori polysaccharide has a hypoglycemic effect, but it needs to reach a certain amount</h1>
As a healthy food, seaweed has many benefits for the human body. Studies have pointed out that seaweed is rich in seaweed polysaccharides, which have the effect of significantly reducing fasting blood sugar.
Liu Min, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that there are many polysaccharides that are beneficial for lowering blood sugar, but they need to be ingested in sufficient amounts. For seaweed, it usually appears on the table as seaweed soup or seaweed soup, and people eat less, it is difficult to really play a role in lowering blood sugar, and it cannot replace hypoglycemic drugs.
However, although it cannot achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar, it is also beneficial for diabetics to eat more seaweed. In particular, the calories of seaweed are low, and the glycemic index is also very low (the glycemic index of seaweed is 11), and there is not much restriction on the consumption of seaweed by diabetics.
It is important to note that:
1. Seaweed is rich in iodine, and diabetic patients are prone to hyperthyroidism, such sugar friends should avoid eating seaweed.
2. The glycemic index of seaweed bun rice is as high as 94, and it is not recommended for sugar friends to eat.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > drinking seaweed soup before meals is good for blood sugar</h1>
Sugar friends can eat seaweed with confidence if they do not have hyperthyroid problems, but there are also some tips for eating seaweed.
Liu Min said that sugar friends must drink seaweed soup before meals, so as to increase satiety to a certain extent, avoid eating too much, and thus reduce postprandial blood sugar. If you drink soup after a meal, it will increase the glycemic index of the food you eat, which will cause the blood sugar to soar after the meal.
There are many soup dishes that usually add a lot of starch, which will increase the calories and the glycemic index of the food, so sugar friends should choose soups as much as possible when eating seaweed, and avoid soups.
Adding some dried shrimp, silver fish and lean meat to the seaweed soup can also increase the protein component, making the seaweed soup more nutritious and will not have a greater impact on blood sugar.
