diabetic patients who want to control their blood sugar levels must first control their diet. They must know which foods cannot be eaten and which foods cannot be eaten, and also know the appropriate amount. Therefore, diet is a topic that everyone often discusses. During the discussion, there will be controversy over whether some foods can be eaten.
Some people think that diabetic patients cannot eat eggs, but is there any scientific basis for this remark? Let’s learn about it together today.
Don't you eat eggs for diabetes?
Diabetic patients can eat eggs, which can provide high-quality protein for diabetic patients. The daily intake of protein intake in diabetic patients should be between 0.8-1.2g/kg, and eggs are relatively suitable foods as high-quality protein.
Some patients are worried that the egg yolk cholesterol content is high, but cholesterol synthesis mainly relies on its own synthesis. The cholesterol consumed by diet is not the main source of cholesterol. In addition to cholesterol, egg yolk also contains lecithin , and lecithin can prevent adverse cholesterol synthesis.
Therefore, diabetic patients can eat eggs, but be careful when appropriate, do not eat too much, and eat at most one a day.
What are the benefits of eating eggs?
. Brain-enhancing and intelligence
Eggs are rich in protein and lecithin contained in egg yolks, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the brain. After these ingredients are digested and absorbed by the human body, they can promote the growth of brain nerve cells and help strengthen brain and improve intelligence.
. Protect the liver
Eggs contain rich proteins, which can repair liver tissue damage, and egg yolks contain lecithin, which can promote the regeneration of liver cells, and can also increase the amount of plasma protein in the human body, and enhance the body's metabolic and immune function. Therefore, eating eggs helps protect the liver.
. Protect the gastric mucosa
Eggs are rich in high-quality proteins, which have a certain repair effect on human tissues. Therefore, they can protect and repair damaged gastric mucosa. Eggs are also rich in various trace elements, which is conducive to enhancing the body's immunity.
. Prevent and treat arteriosclerosis
Eating eggs can effectively prevent and treat arteriosclerosis because eggs contain lecithin, which is a very strong emulsifier used to treat atherosclerosis.
. Prevent cancer
Eggs are rich in vitamin B2, which can decompose and oxidize carcinogens in the human body. The vitamins and trace elements in eggs also have the effect of preventing cancer, so eating eggs can prevent cancer.
. Delay aging
Eggs contain a large amount of antioxidant ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium. These antioxidant components can delay the aging rate of human cells, so eating eggs can help delay the aging of the body.
What are the early symptoms of diabetes?
. Polyuria
The efficiency of diabetic patients to convert food into sugar in their bodies decreases, resulting in an increase in the sugar content in the blood. In order to protect itself, the body has to excrete excess sugar through the urine, resulting in a significant increase in urine volume.
. Thirst
When blood sugar in the body increases, glucose cannot be stored or converted into energy, consume glucose to accumulate in the extracellular fluid, thereby increasing the osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid, and this signal can be directly transmitted to the hypothalamus.
At this time, the body will secrete a large amount of antidiuretic hormone . This type of hormone will cause urine to shrink and pass it to the brain, making people feel thirsty.
. Weight loss
Glucose in the body cannot be used and consumed normally. It can only consume fat and glycogen stored in the body, resulting in weight loss and rapid weight loss. Be sure to go to the hospital for a timely examination. This may be a warning signal sent to you by diabetes.
. Eat more
The sugar in the body of diabetic patients will be excreted as urine sugar , which will cause the calories in the body of diabetic patients to not be enough to maintain the normal operation of the body, and they will feel hungry. The body is in a semi-hungry state for a long time, which will lead to hyper appetite.
. Other
Hands and feet are paralyzed and trembling; fatigue, high blood pressure, white urine; eye fatigue and decreased vision are also early symptoms of diabetes.
Director of Internal Medicine: Don’t want blood sugar to "spick", these 7 things are merciful.
. Xueli Dong
Xueli Dong is rich in dietary fiber, which can delay the digestion rate of food. In theory, diabetic patients should eat more, but Xueli Dong is warm in nature. If you eat too much, it is easy to accumulate warm and mature, which will aggravate the condition of diabetic patients.
. Fried food
Too much fried food will promote the accumulation of fatty acids in the body, induce the production of atherosclerosis, and stimulate insulin resistance, damage the normal pancreatic islet function , leading to increased blood sugar.
. Melon seeds
The melon seeds contain very high fat content and also contain unsaturated fatty acids. If you eat too much melon seeds, the oil intake in the body will easily exceed the standard. Too much fat in the body can be converted into sugar, causing blood sugar to rise.
. Honey
Honey contains about 85% sugar, including glucose that can be directly absorbed without digestion and sucrose that is easily digested, which can easily lead to increased blood sugar fluctuations.
.Sauerkraut
When making sauerkraut, many nutrient elements in Chinese cabbage are destroyed, especially vitamin C, which can promote the secretion of insulin . If vitamin C is destroyed, it cannot decompose excess sugar, which is not good for stabilizing blood sugar, so it is not suitable.
.Yam
Yam contains a certain amount of carbohydrate . Carbohydrates may cause blood sugar to rise after entering the human body. Yam contains a large amount of vitamins and trace elements that can help people prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases .
. Alcohol
Alcohol will stimulate the body, causing the blood circulation to accelerate. The maltose in alcohol will decompose in the body, resulting in a temporary increase in blood sugar. People who drink for a long time will not only increase blood sugar, but also lead to the occurrence of dyslipidemia, uric acid increase, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. What to eat in
helps stabilize blood sugar?
. Bitter melon
Bitter melon is a very good health food. It contains very rich bitter melon saponins, which can help activate the insulin content in the body, reduce blood sugar, prevent diabetes complications , and help stabilize blood sugar.
. Onion
Onion not only contains substances that can stimulate insulin synthesis and secretion, but also has auxiliary therapeutic effects on diabetes. It also contains prostaglandin A and thiamine acids, which have the effects of dilating blood vessels, regulating blood lipids , and preventing arteriosclerosis. Eating onions is of great benefit to people with diabetes accompanied by dyslipidemia.
. Beans
Soybeans are rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium and B vitamins, which contain about 25% carbohydrates, half of which are dietary fiber. The carbohydrates in beans contain some starch substances. These substances are slow digestion starch, which can not only provide energy, but also not have too much impact on blood sugar.
