Today, people attach great importance to health care and have all kinds of health care knowledge, such as eating whole grains. Some people think health care is harmful, others think it is harmful. What is it like? Today, we will learn from the following little knowledge whether whole grains are beneficial or harmful.

People with diabetes or pre-diabetes are harmful to health!

Although the grain powder is the same as the unprocessed grain nutrition, it has different effects on the body. The biggest difference is that the speed of raising blood sugar is much faster than that of whole grains.

Because the finer the processing, the smaller the particles of the same food, the softer the texture, and the faster the digestion and absorption. Fast digestion and absorption means high blood sugar.

For example, it has been confirmed by experiments that the glycemic index (GI) of adzuki bean cooked at atmospheric pressure is 25, while the GI of adzuki bean powder baked, ground and made into paste with boiling water has actually increased to 75, which is twice as high, and it has jumped from low-sugar (GI) food to high-sugar (GI) food.

The faster the blood sugar rises, the more insulin the islets secrete, and they will "try" to lower the blood sugar. Such people's postprandial blood sugar will rise and fall like a roller coaster, and the burden of islet will be heavy, which will lead to the decline of islet function and aggravate the condition of diabetes.

Therefore, for diabetics or friends whose blood sugar has exceeded the normal level, it is best not to eat whole grains often, but to choose whole grains.

However, if it is inconvenient for diabetics to work outside, they can't eat miscellaneous grains rice, only white rice, and may not eat miscellaneous grains powder at all. They can reduce the response of blood sugar elevation through reasonable collocation.

First of all, when buying, you need to give priority to the powder containing beans, such as adzuki bean powder, red kidney bean powder, mung bean powder and other miscellaneous beans, each accounting for half; Brown rice, millet, corn and other cereal flour shall not exceed half.

At the same time, it is suggested to blend coarse cereal paste with hot soybean milk or hot milk, which can effectively help suppress blood sugar. Studies have shown that the combination of staple foods with high glycemic index with protein foods such as milk and soybean milk can reduce postprandial blood glucose response.
