Diabetes has a special relationship with salt:
However, a new study presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes found that eating too much salt increases the incidence of type 2 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults. Consuming an extra gram of sodium (or 2.5 grams of table salt) per day was associated with a 43% increased risk of type 2 diabetes and a 73% increased risk of autoimmune diabetes. The study divided the population into three groups based on different daily salt intake, namely the "low intake group" (a daily salt intake of less than 6 grams) and a "moderate intake group" (a daily salt intake of less than 6 grams). above 6 grams and below 9 grams), the "high intake group" (a daily salt intake of more than 9 grams), it was found that people in the high intake group had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those in the low intake group. 58%. People with a high genetic risk for diabetes who had uncontrolled daily salt intake had four times the risk of developing diabetes than those with a low daily salt intake. Studies have shown that additional salt intake may trigger insulin resistance , thereby increasing the risk of diabetes. Salt is the condiment of delicious food, without it, even the most fragrant food will be tasteless. But no matter how good things are, it’s not enough. As far as many Chinese people are concerned, they still do not "control" enough salt.
China people have excessive salt:
A survey data published by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 60% of the residents in my country still have excessive salt.
It should be noted that some foods contain too much salt:
Calculated on the basis of the recommended intake of 6 grams of salt per person per day in the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines", 58.2% of the residents in my country According to the 2011 WHO standard calculation of 5 grams of salt intake per day, 66.8% of residents have excessive salt intake.
The World Health Organization recommends that an adult should consume 6 grams of salt per day. At present, the average daily salt intake of Chinese residents is 12-14 grams, excluding some invisible intake of salt, such as various seasonings with high sodium and salt in life, such as soy sauce , tomato sauce , Chili sauce , etc., as well as sausage , luncheon meat , sauce beef , roast chicken and other cooked foods, and even pickles , pickles , salted duck eggs and other pickled foods. Diabetic patients have less food intake, metabolic disorders , and more cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, and should have less salt than normal people. Diabetic non- hypertensive patients should consume less than 5 grams of salt per day. Hypertensive patients and Diabetic nephropathy patients should not exceed 3 grams, and if the condition worsens, the restriction will be stricter, and the daily intake of salt should not exceed 1 gram.
Eating too much salt can easily lead to high blood pressure:
High blood pressure is directly related to excessive intake of sodium, and 60% of the sodium in the human body comes from salt, and 40% comes from the food we eat. A survey in 2010 showed that if the sodium in food is converted into salt and added together with the daily salt, then the daily salt consumption of urban residents in my country is as high as 13.5 grams. In addition to the well-known high blood pressure, too much salt can also bring a variety of diseases to the body.
For every 1 gram of table salt retained in the body, 111.1 grams of water is required to be dubbed "normal saline" and stored in the tissues. As the water in the blood vessels increases, the pressure on the blood vessel walls also increases.
diabetespatientHow to control blood sugar:
First of all, eat only one cap of salt a day, the lid of a beer bottle, remove the rubber pad, and fill it with exactly 6 grams of salt. Nowadays, the caps of many mineral water and beverage bottles have been cut in half. This kind of cap is full, which is 4~5 grams.This is enough for diabetics.
Second, pour out the vegetable soup after eating, which can reduce the intake of salt. Some people like to drink vegetable soup, or pour the vegetable soup into the rice and eat it. When cooking, a lot of salt is dissolved in the vegetable soup, so the salt content in the vegetable soup is the highest.
Third, when cooking dishes , do not put salt first, and sprinkle a small amount of salt directly on the dishes before eating, so that the taste buds can be directly stimulated by salt, and the amount of salt can be reduced.
Fourth, there are some hidden salts in life, such as soy sauce, sausages, pickles, snacks, etc., so you should also pay attention to controlling the intake of invisible salts. Do not eat or eat less salty or umami-flavored snacks, snacks, instant noodles, soda biscuits, etc. (containing a lot of sodium), especially those with hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and edema. Salt.
Fifth, using low sodium is also a good way. Low-sodium salt contains about one-third less sodium than regular iodized salt.
