Introduction: As living standards gradually improve, the dining table is also filled with rich dishes. However, unintentionally, more and more health problems arise in the body. Currently, high blood sugar is a serious issue affecting people’s health.
Moreover, with a trend towards younger ages, unregulated blood sugar can lead to the onset of diabetes and its complications, endangering personal health.
Most people are aware that diabetes patients should reduce the intake of refined foods like white rice. Therefore, many believe that diabetes patients benefit from consuming coarse grains for good health.
Indeed, regular intake of coarse grains helps stabilize blood sugar levels to a certain extent. However, there are specific considerations when consuming coarse grains. Indiscriminate consumption of coarse grains can actually elevate blood sugar more than white rice. It is advisable to correct this habit promptly.
Is consuming coarse grains beneficial for high blood sugar? Perhaps not. Avoid these 3 misconceptions:
Overcooked coarse grains for congee.
Many individuals tend to overcook congee, believing that it aids in better digestion and absorption. However, such easily digestible foods are unsuitable for diabetes patients.
Excessive consumption of these foods can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, affecting personal health. Even coarse grains are not conducive to blood sugar control. It is recommended to correct this habit promptly.
Conversion of coarse grains into high-calorie foods.
Some coarse grains we consume have low calories, which are beneficial for health. However, by turning these foods into high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar dishes, the calorie content increases.
Overeating such dishes not only leads to obesity but also raises blood sugar levels, adversely affecting health. Hence, it is advisable to opt for reasonable cooking methods to ensure gradual blood sugar stabilization and promote overall health.
The more coarse grains consumed, the better the effect.
Regular consumption of coarse grain foods indeed has health benefits, but it is crucial to control the intake quantity. While many may think more consumption equals better health, coarse grains are relatively high in calories.
Excessive consumption can negatively impact health, raise blood sugar levels, and thus, the intake of coarse grains must be controlled and balanced. This approach might assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels gradually.
Regular consumption of coarse grains is beneficial for health, but moderation in intake quantity and consumption methods is important. Following principles like eating smaller meals frequently, engaging in moderate exercise daily is advantageous for blood sugar control.
For individuals with persistently high blood sugar levels, it is essential to learn how to regulate their diet properly to prevent complications.
