How should I eat if I have diabetes? Please keep this food guide
Diabetes, a high incidence of this modern society, has become more and more common in our lives. In the face of this disease, in addition to the necessary medicines**, we cannot ignore the importance of dietary conditioning.
As an experienced doctor, I would like to share some in-depth insights on diabetes diet, hoping to help the majority of sugar friends.
First of all, we need to be clear: diabetes is not a "taboo" in the full sense of the word. Sugar friends don't have to worry too much about the food, but should arrange their diet scientifically and reasonably. Here, the concept of diet and health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine can be perfectly combined with modern nutrition to escort our health.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, food has five tastes: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty. These five flavors correspond to the five elements and the five internal organs, which directly affect the health of the body. For diabetics, they should try to choose sweet and salty foods, such as green leafy vegetables, legumes, lean meats, etc. These foods are rich in dietary fiber and high-quality protein, which helps regulate blood sugar and maintain good health.
In TCM theory, the traits of food are also very important. Cold food helps to clear away heat and reduce fire, quench thirst and generate energy, while warm food can warm the yang and dispel cold, nourish qi and nourish blood. Therefore, when choosing food, sugar friends should make a reasonable combination according to their own physique and condition.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes "food nourishment". Food is not only nutritious, but also a nourishing agent for the body. Diabetic patients can eat more foods that have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing yin, such as lily, white fungus, yam, etc. These foods help improve the body's internal environment and regulate blood sugar levels.
