Why is this? Health experts explained that the glycemic index of food is affected by many factors, such as the type of food, raw and cooked, processing methods and so on. The longer the processing time, the higher the temperature and the higher the glycemic index. However, the processing time of rice porridge is longer than that of rice, the particles become smaller and easier to absorb, and the glycemic index is higher, so the blood sugar rises rapidly after eating porridge. Therefore, diabetic patients should not only pay attention to the intake of total calories, but also pay attention to foods with low glycemic index. Only in this way can we ensure nutrition and calories and control blood sugar at an ideal level.
However, this does not mean that diabetics cannot drink porridge. Health experts remind diabetics that when drinking porridge, it is best to mix dry and thin, and eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber. This can reduce the glycemic index, not only satisfy the taste, but also better control the blood sugar. If you are not used to dry rice for breakfast, you can choose "Ten Millet Porridge" to cook porridge, that is, brown rice, black glutinous rice, millet, buckwheat, Euryale euryales, oats, lotus seeds, cereal and red barley. If you want to taste better, you can add longan and raisins. Cooking porridge with this coarse grain can make you feel full and absorb it in your stomach for a long time to keep your blood sugar stable.
