In recent years, the serious problem of diabetes has been affecting our healthy life. When it comes to diabetes, many people are horrified, thinking that people with diabetes shouldn’t eat sugar.
If you consume a large amount of sugar, it can lead to excessive sugar intake, causing high blood sugar levels and the risk of complications.
Actually, for some people with diabetes, excessive sugar intake indeed leads to high blood sugar levels. However, what diabetes truly controls is not sugar but the following types of food. It is advisable for you to learn about them in a timely manner.
Diabetics shouldn’t have sugar? Repeated reminder: the most important thing to control is “It.” Read on to understand.
Animal offal: In daily life, many people enjoy eating animal offal because of its high nutritional value. When consumed in moderation, it can help replenish the body with essential trace elements and be beneficial to health.
However, for some people with diabetes, it is best to control the intake as animal offal contains excessive fat.
Long-term excessive consumption can lead to fat accumulation, converting into sugar in the body, causing high blood sugar levels, which is not conducive to health. Therefore, it is best to watch your intake.
Carbonated drinks: In daily life, many people dislike drinking water and prefer carbonated beverages. However, these beverages have high sugar content and are high-calorie drinks. Excessive consumption not only leads to obesity but also increases sugar intake, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Hence, individuals with high blood sugar levels should be cautious with such carbonated beverages to avoid compromising health and risking complications.
Food insulin, diabetes’ “opponent”, drinking a few sips might make blood sugar obediently decrease.
Bitter buckwheat: Bitter buckwheat is a common Chinese medicinal herb with high medicinal value. Regular consumption by infusing it in water can promote health and help stimulate insulin secretion in the body, thereby stabilizing blood sugar.
Therefore, bitter buckwheat can also be a natural insulin substitute. If you persist in drinking its infused water, it can help stabilize blood sugar, prevent diabetes, and be very beneficial to health.
Mulberry leaves: Mulberry leaves are also common in rural areas. However, many people believe that mulberry leaves are useless, unaware that they have a significant effect in stabilizing blood sugar.
Because mulberry leaves contain rich mulberry polysaccharides and vitamins, they can help inhibit the formation of sugar-decomposing enzymes in the body. They also promote insulin secretion, leading to a decrease in blood sugar. Therefore, mulberry leaves are also known as the opponents of diabetes. Drinking mulberry leaf infused water regularly can help stimulate insulin secretion, making blood sugar obediently drop.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a common seasoning. Adding some cinnamon while cooking can enhance flavor. Unknown to many, cinnamon is also very helpful in lowering blood sugar.
Some of its nutrients can help increase the insulin content in the blood, thereby lowering blood sugar. Therefore, for some people with diabetes, persisting in drinking a cup of cinnamon-infused water daily can help blood sugar decrease obediently.
That’s all for today’s sharing. Remember to dress warmly in cold weather, may you diligently exercise, resist the cold, stay healthy and carefree. See you next time.
