Vermicelli has a history of thousands of years in China, and all parts of the country have their own unique production process, which can be divided into thin vermicelli, wide vermicelli and round vermicelli according to their shape. Vermicelli is made of sweet potatoes, peas, mung beans, potatoes, etc., washed out of pure starch with water, heated water to make it into starch paste, and finally dried vermicelli, its main ingredient is starch, the nutritional value is very single, and the content of protein, vitamins and minerals is only a handful, this is because in the process of washing starch, protein, water-soluble B vitamins, potassium, calcium and other minerals will be seriously lost, it can be said that vermicelli is a nutrient-deficient food, should not be used as a staple food.
Dry vermicelli is a low glycemic index food, but the glycemic index increases significantly after boiling soft, it is not an exaggeration to say that eating vermicelli is similar to eating white sugar, for diabetic patients, it is not suitable to eat vermicelli as a staple food, not only lack of nutrition, but also affect blood sugar control, if diabetic patients like to eat vermicelli, they should reduce the intake of staple foods accordingly, and also cooperate with some chicken, fish, beef, soy products and other high-quality proteins, as well as broccoli, rape, Eating green leafy vegetables such as bok choy together can delay the rapid rise in blood sugar and is more helpful for controlling blood sugar after meals. Vermicelli does not taste sweet, because its main ingredient is starch, such as about 80 grams of starch per 100 grams of sweet potato vermicelli, 330 kcal, sugar and calories are considerable, and protein, vitamins and minerals and other nutrients are lost, therefore, it is not recommended for diabetics to eat vermicelli regularly.
Tofu is rich in calcium, high-quality plant protein, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber and soy isoflavones and other nutrients. Sugar friends are more likely to have osteoporosis than ordinary people due to their own metabolic disorders, and eating tofu often helps to supplement calcium, which helps prevent osteoporosis and maintain bone health. Tofu is rich in protein and low in calories, and for sugar friends, protein helps to increase satiety, suppress appetite, increase muscle mass, maintain a healthy weight, improve insulin resistance, and stabilize blood sugar. Tofu is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which help regulate blood lipids, inhibit platelet aggregation, benefit cardiovascular health, and prevent diabetic vascular complications. Tofu is rich in dietary fiber and soy isoflavones, which help reduce digestive enzyme activity, delay food digestion and absorption, improve insulin resistance, and control blood sugar.
The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that you eat 20 25 grams of soybeans or corresponding soy products every day, 25g of soybeans are equivalent to 80g of northern tofu, 150g of southern tofu, and 125g of inner fat tofu. For patients with diabetic nephropathy, protein intake should be strictly limited, the consumption of tofu should be halved, and patients with severe conditions are better off eating tofu. Although dried soybeans are high-purine foods, but after being made into tofu, the water content is increased, and the purine content is greatly reduced, for sugar friends with hyperuricemia or gout, you can eat tofu in moderation, and it is recommended that no more than 60g of northern tofu, 120g of southern tofu or 100g of inner fat tofu per day.
Guidelines for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes in China ( 2020 edition) recommends that diabetic patients eat more vegetables, which is not only conducive to blood sugar control, but also beneficial to physical health, and there are many studies abroad that have found that eating more vegetables has many benefits for blood sugar control, such as eating green leafy vegetables every day can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, eat a bowl of vegetables before the main meal, and then eat the staple food, the staple food with vegetables can significantly reduce the postprandial blood sugar response, compared with rice with meat, rice and meat with vegetables together, can make postprandial blood sugar more stable, eat 2-3 servings of vegetables a day, can effectively control weight, reduce the risk of obesity, improve insulin resistance, delay the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes, such studies aboundVegetables are definitely the "good friends" of diabetic patients, and they are the "little experts" in sugar stabilization and sugar control.
Vegetables certainly help control sugar, but which vegetables are better for sugar control?Don't be in a hurry, listen to Pharmacist Sun slowly. Our common vegetables such as rape, kale, spinach, amaranth, water spinach, lettuce, chrysanthemum, fungus and other dark green leafy vegetables, edamame, young peas, tender broad beans, green beans, lentils, snow peas and other tender bean pod vegetables, eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, bell pepper and other eggplant vegetables, cucumber, winter melon, zucchini, bitter gourd, Melons such as loofah and light-colored flower vegetables such as cabbage, among which dark green leafy vegetables are rich in insoluble dietary fiber, which can enhance satiety, delay the digestion and absorption of food, and are rich in flavonoids, calcium, magnesium and other components, which are conducive to stabilizing blood sugar. Nightshade vegetables and cabbage flowers are rich in potassium and pectin, which can delay the rise of blood sugar after meals, in addition, nightshade vegetables are rich in flavonoids, and cabbage flowers are rich in sulfur glycosides, which can reduce digestive enzyme activity, delay the digestion of food, and stabilize blood sugar after meals. Although tender bean pod vegetables and melon vegetables have high potassium content, they have low dietary fiber and pectin content, flavonoids content is not high, and their sugar control ability is relatively poor.
Most vegetables are helpful for controlling blood sugar, of course, some vegetables, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, yams, taro, lotus roots, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, etc., have a starch content of about 10% 20%, theoretically speaking, it will affect blood sugar stability, and it is not suitable for diabetics to eat, but this kind of vegetables are similar to rice, Unlike staple foods such as white flour, which are rich in vitamin C and potassium, and some are also rich in dietary fiber, diabetics are not absolutely unavoidable, and replacing some rice and white flour with these starchy vegetables is also helpful for blood sugar control.
