Diabetes is a disease most related to “eating”, many sugar lovers refuse to eat rice or try to reduce the intake of rice in order to make their blood sugar drop faster, some sugar lovers even shout “one less meal can be less medicine”, what is the effect of rice on blood sugar? What is the effect of rice on blood sugar? Do diabetics need to stay away from rice? In fact, rice (rice) contains about 75% carbohydrates, 7%-8% protein, 1.3% fat, and rich in B vitamins, while white sugar is completely absent. However, the “white” of white rice refers to refined white rice, which is processed rice with less fiber content and is easier to digest and absorb, so the speed of blood sugar rise after meals will be accelerated. If the body has been in a state of high blood sugar, not enough exercise to consume, it will increase the risk of diabetes. For patients who already have diabetes, it is not conducive to blood sugar control. Therefore, diabetics should eat less white rice (refined grains) and replace it with coarse grains such as mixed grains, mixed beans and whole grains. According to the nutritional value, providing the same amount of calories, the vitamin and mineral content of coarse grain porridge is more than three times that of rice, but the digestion speed of coarse grain porridge is slower than that of white rice porridge, and the post-meal blood sugar rises slowly, and the energy contained in it is released relatively slowly, so it is not easy to have the problem of difficult post-meal blood sugar control. Although the quality of protein in rice is not as good as fish, meat, eggs and milk, rice protein mixed with other sources of protein can improve the overall protein nutritional value. What is the healthiest way to eat? You may want to slow down the pace of your meals. First of all, the wolf-eating style of eating can easily lead to the accumulation of food in the body, increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines, slowing down the speed of intestinal peristalsis. In the long run, it will easily lead to various intestinal diseases due to indigestion. If you eat slowly, so that the food is better digested and absorbed, rather than staying in the intestines to cause blockages, reducing gastrointestinal damage. Secondly, eating slowly can effectively reduce the amount of food intake, to avoid overeating leading to intestinal diseases.
