For many years, people have been talking about diabetes, and much of the reason is related to the diabetic diet. So far, almost all patients think that if they have diabetes, they can’t eat sugar, or they can’t eat sweet things, and they have to “control” their diet, so they can’t eat this or that, and finally the “serious ones” become malnourished. “Those who are not serious” give themselves up to indulge in diet. However, this is not the case, for “sugar”, people often say that sugar usually refers to white sugar, that is, cane sugar, or eat sweet food. The answer to the question of whether diabetes and sugar have anything to do with each other is naturally no. In fact, there is almost no causal relationship between diabetes and “sugar”! It has been proven that diabetes is a lifestyle disease that is related to both genetic and environmental factors, genetic factors we cannot change, but environmental factors can be changed. Less movement and more food are the main culprits. Eating too much is not about eating too much “sugar”, but about the amount of “calories” that enter the body through the mouth during the day. Food containing calories include protein, fat, carbohydrates, and the highest density of calories is not “sugar” but “fat”, whether it is fatty meat or lean meat, fatty meat itself is mainly composed of fat, lean meat because it contains more fat and suffer, 1 Two fatty meat to provide calories equivalent to 2 two rice cooked rice to provide calories, 2 two rice to make people feel full, and 1 two fatty meat taste good, and it is difficult to make people feel full in a short period of time, it is natural to let people eat more. There is ample evidence that the effect of total calories on blood sugar throughout the day exceeds the effect of a particular food on blood sugar, which of course refers to the bad effects. Can pumpkin cure diabetes? The answer is no! Only a proper dietary structure has a therapeutic effect on diabetes, and so far no specific food has been found to have a therapeutic effect on diabetes! Pumpkin tastes lickety-split, but is rich in dietary fiber and has low energy density. For providing calories, 7 taels of pumpkin is equivalent to half a tael of rice, so you can imagine that the satiety of half a tael of rice is less than 7 taels of pumpkin, and the rich dietary fiber in pumpkin has a benign effect on laxatives. Therefore, it is recommended to use pumpkin to replace part of the rice as a staple food is feasible and reasonable. A mouth naturally can not eat fat, but fat is a bite to eat out of yo! Some people have calculated that if you eat only one more bite a day, a year can make your weight increased by about a pound, if you eat a bite more every day, 10 years later you will have increased by 10 pounds, people in middle age to not become fat are difficult. This is when you become a risk group for diabetes. However, in fact, there is no need to be overly pessimistic, relatively speaking, “more food” and “less movement” as the 2 major “engines” of the development of diabetes, the more important is “Less movement”! What is the lack of diabetes, the lack of “exercise”! Exercise is a challenge to human physiology, specifically the challenge of muscle metabolism, exercise is muscle contraction, muscle contraction requires energy, and its main source of energy is the so-called “sugar”, that is, glucose, diabetes do not eat sugar, no! Without sugar to supply energy, the muscles will lack the main source of energy, which will make people weak and fatigue. By reducing the intake of fat to ensure the intake of carbohydrates can be a good control of the total caloric intake, is the best way to exercise well and do not let their own obesity. Therefore, diabetes is not about not eating sugar, but about combining it with exercise and eating “sugar” wisely. So, what can I eat if I have diabetes? —- can eat anything and everything! The key is to eat the science and art of eating, that is, to master the “amount” of food eaten. The right amount is only good for the body, absolutely no harm. Not the right amount – too little, too much is the culprit. Also, even if it is really too little exercise, a day of “sugar” intake of less than 25 grams, that is, half a tael, the body will not have a very bad effect. Of course, eating too much to make you fat is not good.
