Studies have shown that people who "gobble" on meals are three times more likely to develop diabetes. This is because eating too quickly causes the brain to not have time to send the signal of "full" and is prone to eating more;At the same time, eating too quickly will cause blood sugar in the body to fluctuate, damage the function of pancreatic islets, and in the long run, it is easy to develop diabetes. Therefore, it is recommended to spend at least 20 to 30 minutes per meal to eat.
In addition to eating fast and susceptibility to diabetes, there are other risk factors that lead to diabetes, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, lack of sleep, irregular work and rest, drinking sweetened drinks, smoking, etc. Ways to prevent diabetes include monitoring your blood sugar regularly, developing good Xi and avoiding excessive stress on yourself.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which often manifests as symptoms such as polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and blurred vision. The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is mainly based on blood glucose levels, fasting blood glucose 70mmol l or 2-hour postprandial blood glucose 111 mmol l can be diagnosed as diabetes mellitus. Glycosylated hemoglobin 65% can also be used as a diagnostic criterion. Poor glycemic control can lead to serious complications such as ketoacidosis, blindness, diabetic foot, stroke and kidney failure.
The prevalence of diabetes in Chinese is increasing year by year, reaching 12 in 20208%。According to the research data of Academician Ningguang, young people are also prone to diabetes, and the prevalence of prediabetes in people aged 18-29 has reached 202%, and more than 40% of people after the age of 40 are pre-diabetic. However, young people are poorly informed about their health conditions and lack effective lifestyle interventions or medications**.
Ways to prevent and control diabetes include regular work and rest, dietary modification to lose weight, smoking cessation to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and high dietary fiber intake to promote blood sugar control, weight control, and blood lipid regulation.
Bottom line: Eating too quickly is predisposing to diabetes, and there are other risk factors in addition to that. To prevent diabetes, we should develop good Xi, monitor blood sugar regularly, pay attention to diet control and weight management, avoid smoking, and consume foods high in dietary fiber.
