5,000 Years of Eclipse Dear sugar friends, winter has come. This season, the earth enters a dormant period, and everything is ready for the new year's vitality. However, for diabetic patients, winter brings a lot of challenges - the problem of qi and blood deficiency. In cold weather, maintaining healthy eating Xi is crucial. Today we will talk about this issue and provide you with some practical advice and guidance.
1. Understand the causes of qi and blood deficiency.
Qi and blood are important energy elements of the human body, they are interdependent and transform each other, and maintain the normal physiological functions of the human body. For sugar friends with large blood sugar fluctuations, a long-term high blood sugar state will disrupt the balance of qi and blood in the body, resulting in weakness of qi and blood. In addition, the cold climate will also affect the body's blood circulation and metabolic rate, further exacerbating the situation of qi and blood deficiency.
2. How to adjust the dietary structure.
1.Increase your intake of high-quality protein: Protein plays a vital role in the repair and regeneration of human tissues and organs. It is advisable to choose foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish, chicken breast, tofu, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive consumption of high-fat, high-calorie meat foods.
2.Eat more foods rich in vitamin C: Vitamin C helps boost immunity and boost the body's metabolism. Fresh vegetables and fruits are the best choice, such as oranges, kiwis, grapefruits, etc.
3.Controlling carbohydrate intake: Controlling carbohydrate intake is one of the dietary principles for diabetics. Try to choose staple foods with a low glycemic index (GI), such as whole wheat bread and soba noodles. At the same time, pay attention to the total amount of staple food should not be too much.
4.Appropriate supplementation of minerals and dietary fiber: Eat more mineral-rich foods, such as black fungus, mushrooms, etc., which can improve the electrolyte balance in the body and enhance immunityDietary fiber, on the other hand, can help intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
5.Adhere to the principle of regular and quantitative diet: It is very important for people with diabetes to develop good eating Xi. Eating regularly every day and eating a variety of foods in a certain amount is conducive to blood sugar control and physical health.
