For diabetic patients, the most painful thing is not to take medicine every day, control blood sugar, and prevent diabetes complications , but to see the delicious food and can only wait and see the portion that drools. Especially for sugary foods, you can’t even touch them. It’s also a pain to say that you suffer.
Since it is sweet, can it be eaten?
Recently, a diabetic friend posted online that he has been eating chili peppers recently. Although it is not a sweet food, he found that the blood sugar fluctuation range was a bit large after testing his blood sugar. He thought that diabetic friend could not eat chili peppers.
There are also diabetics who like to eat chili peppers that chili is not a dish with a high glycemic index at all, so where can it increase blood sugar?
In daily life, people often use green peppers to cook. only has 22 calories in every 100 grams of green peppers, and the glycemic index is indeed low. The GI value is 15 and the GL value is 0.8. In other words, if diabetics eat green peppers, will not cause excessive blood sugar fluctuations.
Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University A study on the samples of more than 1.2 billion people in my country and 3 flavors . The three flavors are "spicy, numb, sweet" . After research, it was found that for diabetics, eating more spicy food can indeed improve the blood sugar level of diabetics on an empty stomach and after meals . In addition to sweetness, although " numbness" is not helpful for diabetes prevention, it can also correct fasting blood sugar .
Since eating spicy food can control blood sugar, can you "eat spicy food as much as possible"?
Of course not, you can't think so!
Chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology of Central South University Xiangya Hospital said that for example, spicy strips are also spicy, but some studies have found that Although spicy spicy strips will not change much in a short period of time, they will gradually cause blood sugar to be at a peak. Because spicy strips are high-fat foods, eating them frequently will lead to obesity, increase the risk of insulin resistance, and be even more unfavorable to blood sugar control.
is not only spicy strips, but also hot pot, spicy hot pot, chili sauce, boiled fish and other foods. Although chili is added, it also has a lot of fat, salt, and even sugar . Diabetes often eat this food, which will not only affect blood pressure and blood lipids . Because chili is appetizing , it will also increase the intake of , and will also lead to an increase in blood sugar from the side.
Therefore, eating fresh chili does not cause blood sugar fluctuations. The reason why some people on the Internet say that eating spicy food will affect blood sugar is to see what kind of spicy food you eat and how much rice you eat when eating chili peppers.
Although peppers do not have any major actions in blood sugar, it is not recommended that diabetics often eat
First of all, peppers are not anti-sugar drugs, and there are no foods in the world that have the function of "lowering blood sugar". However, foods like peppers are much more friendly to diabetics than sweets. Regularly grasping chili food to eat is not only a single nutritional supplement, but it cannot satisfy the body's nutritional supplement, but also stimulates the stomach, causes skin diseases, and gets angry with the body.
Don’t want blood sugar to soar, how can I eat rice?
Remember these 12 words: Light diet, control calories, eat less and eat more
Light diet means stagnant from spicy, greasy, high oil, high salt, and high sugar flavors , especially sugar, needless to say. Not only taste, but also the total calories of your diet need to be carefully checked, which means you can eat fatty meat to satisfy your cravings, but you cannot have fat meat on the table for three meals a day or more than 90 meals a month.
As mentioned above, although a diet with excessive calories will not directly lead to an increase in blood sugar, it will also accumulate in the body, affecting the control and relief of diabetes.
Of course, in addition to fat meat, high-calorie diets also include some overprocessed snacks, meat , etc., and also control weight.
Finally, you need to control your appetite . Even if you don’t eat sugary foods, eating too much food at one time will also lead to an increase in body calories and will also cause blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, it is recommended to eat less and more meals, and eat every meal until you are not hungry. If you are hungry, you can eat a little more.
especially staple food , preferably coarse and fine combination , for example, fine grains are white rice, flour , etc., and coarse grains brown rice , buckwheat , buckwheat , corn slag, barley , etc. . It is recommended to choose white meat for meat, including fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, lean beef, mutton, pork, and fruits and vegetables. suggests 500-1,000 grams of green leafy vegetables per day and 200-300 fruits per day. as long as you do not eat more than this range, you can eat any fruit, but types cannot be single.
of course controls blood sugar. In addition to the convenience of diet, you should pay more attention to it. You should also exercise. You should not be less
Exercise is to consume the excess glucose in the body, helping the body regulate blood sugar. Diabetes are suitable for aerobic exercise + resistance exercise , aerobic exercise (quick walking, cycling, skipping rope, swimming, etc.), resistance exercise (squatting against the wall, open and close jumping , sit-ups, plank support , lifting dumbbells, etc.) . Note that although exercise can improve blood sugar, should not exercise excessively to prevent hypoglycemia. Exercise time can be controlled within 30 minutes , or , and the body is slightly sweating .
Finally, I want to tell my diabetics that no food in the world has the effect of "lowering blood sugar". Only when the medicine is controlled every day can the blood sugar surge and prevent complications of diabetes. It is OK to eat chili peppers, but it is best to eat fresh chili peppers, such as processed spicy flavors. Never be careless about your diet, the more you can help you with exercise.
