First, diabetics can eat peanuts and walnuts. As the most common nut in China, peanut is rich in nutrients, such as protein, fat, sugar, vitamins A, B, E and K, and some minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. It also contains eight kinds of amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids in our body.
The main nutritional components and effects of walnuts are similar to those of peanuts, which can regulate the body, promote brain health and supplement protein, vitamins and amino acids. They are really called "longevity fruit".
However, we should know that although peanuts and walnuts are good for the body, as diabetics, controlling diet and blood sugar is the first priority.
Although the sugar content of peanuts and walnuts is not high, about 20%, their fat content is high. After all, they also squeezed the cooking oil that we often eat. The energy provided by oil is about twice that of carbohydrate and fat, which is not conducive to the control of blood sugar in the body, and may also increase the blood sugar of diabetic patients, leading to metabolic disorder of the body, thus causing various complications of diabetes.
Especially if you grab a handful and eat like a normal person, the blood sugar of diabetic patients will definitely rise, which is very dangerous.
So for diabetics, peanuts and walnuts can be eaten, but they must be eaten less. Eating less here means eating less every day, preferably not more than 20 grams. One handful of peanuts at a time, you should chew slowly one by one. If the amount of walnuts is about two or three, peanuts and walnuts can be eaten for a long time as long as the amount is small. After all, their other functions are really good.
Eating a light diet, keeping your mouth shut, eating more high-fiber foods and controlling blood sugar are the responsibilities of diabetic patients for their health!
