Many netizens have such a puzzle, can't they eat leftovers? Some sugar friends usually have better blood sugar control, but after eating leftovers twice during the Spring Festival holiday, blood sugar monitoring after each meal can reach the 14th Five-Year Plan. So, is it true that diabetics can't eat leftovers?
First of all, although many leftovers are relatively high in fat content and calories, diabetics may cause blood sugar to rise after eating, but in fact, this is not very serious, and diabetics can eat leftovers. However, the choice of different kinds of leftovers is very particular. These four kinds of leftovers are really inedible!
4 kinds of leftovers must be thrown away
1.Seafood.
Uneaten seafood is also not suitable for patients to eat again, especially if they are diabetics. First of all, seafood has a high water content and rich protein; Secondly, seafood is often cooked in pursuit of freshness, so the cooking time is often short, which will cause harmful microorganisms to be removed from it. Both of these factors can make leftover seafood more likely to spoil, causing food poisoning or gastrointestinal problems, and worsening diabetes.
Another point is that seafood left at room temperature for 2 hours can easily lead to the production of a large number of protein degradants, which will damage our liver and kidney function after being ingested into the body, and then cause the aggravation of diabetes problems.
2.Mushrooms, fungus and other mushroom foods.
Mushrooms themselves are suitable for diabetics due to their rich nutrients, high dietary fiber levels, and low calorie content. However, if you don't finish a meal, these fungi will absorb a lot of fat and salt, threatening diabetics.
In addition, well-made mushroom dishes can easily breed bacteria and fungi, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and cause vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea if eaten.
3.Sautéed leafy greens.
Stir-fried fresh leafy greens are perfect for sugar lovers! Fresh green leafy vegetables are not only low in calories and low in glycemic index, but also rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and other nutrients. But if you don't finish a meal, the green leafy vegetables will absorb the fat and salt in the soup and become high in oil, salt and calories, which is not suitable for sugar friends at this time.
In addition, leftover green leafy vegetables will continue to increase harmful substances such as bacteria and nitrites, which may lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, thereby affecting blood sugar and making blood sugar fluctuations larger.
4.Coleslaw.
The crisp and delicious coleslaw makes many people want to eat it, but if you don't finish it in one meal, you must throw it away. This is because, in order to maintain the refreshing taste of cold dishes, high temperature cooking is not carried out to sanitize bacteria, and even blanched vegetables cannot be completely sterilized due to the short time. If leftovers, the bacteria in the salad will multiply rapidly, and eating it will cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, causing blood sugar to rise in diabetics.
Although leftovers are very harmful to diabetics, it is alarmist to say that eating leftovers will cause blood sugar to rise. So, which leftovers can be eaten by diabetics?
Leftovers that can be eaten by diabetics
1.Leftover rice.
Diabetic patients are less likely to have an effect on blood sugar when they consume leftover rice. But be careful, the rice must be refrigerated! Through refrigeration, the starch in it produces the phenomenon of "aging and regeneration", forming resistant starch that is not easy to digest, and the consumption of diabetic patients will not lead to a rise in blood sugar. However, it should be reminded that although leftover rice will not affect blood sugar, it should not be refrigerated for more than 2 days.
2.Leftover meat.
In addition to seafood, other meats are not easy to spoil after cooking, so if you don't eat, you can also put them in the refrigerator after sealing them to make it easier for diabetics to eat. However, be sure to warm it up well before serving
3.Refrigerate leftovers within 2 days.
In addition to the four types of inedible items mentioned above, other leftovers should also be eaten within 2 days of refrigeration, and remember to heat thoroughly and evenly, sterilize and sterilize.
Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, but in the case of taking health into account, there are some wastes that we have to do. But a good piece of advice for everyone: we cook less! This not only saves no leftovers, but also indirectly supervises the good habit of eating 8 points full, which can be described as a two-pronged approach
