Many friends with hyperglycemia and diabetes may ask first: oranges are really sweet. Can we sugar friends eat oranges? Sugar friends with high blood sugar and diabetes can also eat oranges. Oranges taste sweet, but they are mainly fruits containing fructose. The metabolic process of fructose is different from that of glucose, and it will not significantly increase blood sugar. For people who love sugar, fructose is a kind of "safe sugar", and its sweetness is several times higher than sucrose and glucose. So oranges really taste sweet, but they are not fruits with high sugar index, sugar friends.
Sugar friends dare not eat fruit, because they think it is sweet and afraid of affecting blood sugar. In fact, sugar friends don't have to reject foods containing natural sugar. Eating a little properly will not have much impact on blood sugar, and they can completely stabilize blood sugar through exercise and other means. Of course, the premise is still appropriate. Not if you eat it in public. What should be avoided is that foods containing "refined sugar", such as artificially added sucrose and glucose syrup, are the chief culprit of soaring blood sugar.
Oranges are rich in many minerals, such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other elements that people often need. Oranges also contain many vitamins, such as carotene and vitamin B (B 1, B3 B2). Oranges are rich in vitamin C. 100g contains about 50mg of vitamin C, which is 65438+ higher than that of apples, pears, bananas and other fruits. Oranges contain a variety of organic acids, such as citric acid, malic acid and succinic acid, which can promote gastric acid secretion, digestion and appetite. It is also rich in pectin, which has a certain effect on preventing constipation.
Oranges still have some value in Chinese medicine. They taste sour and refreshing, and have good anti-vomiting, anti-hangover and neutralization effects. Can help digestion, promote fluid production and quench thirst. Making oranges into orange cakes is sweet, so it has the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen. However, oranges should not be eaten more, which is easy to hurt the liver qi. Eating more oranges will stimulate the stomach and secrete too much stomach acid; It may also lead to yellowing of the skin due to excessive intake of carotene. Oranges are rich in antioxidant elements and water-soluble vitamins, so eating oranges directly is the best choice. But many friends like to make oranges into orange juice, and the value will be greatly reduced. After juicing, fruits lose high dietary fiber, and the sugar in fruits is generally high. Drinking fruit juice is easy to make blood sugar soar, and minerals and antioxidants may be lost during juicing.
I belong to people who prefer to eat oranges. Basically, I often buy this kind of fruit at home all year round. Fresh oranges are not only delicious, but also have the taste and fragrance of oranges. I like them very much. If I buy more oranges, there will be a faint orange fragrance in the room, which will make people relaxed and happy.
Oranges are rich in vitamin C. Regular consumption can not only supplement vitamins, but also help to maintain beauty. Vitamin C can help our body to resist oxidation, remove free radicals in the body, and also help to whiten and remove spots, making the skin more white and tender.
As we all know, if the human body lacks vitamin C, it will also lead to diseases, namely scurvy. People who lack vitamin C for a long time have gum bleeding, skin bleeding, oral ulcers and so on. Eating oranges regularly can provide our body with the necessary vitamin C.
In addition to being rich in vitamin C, oranges also contain many other nutrients, such as rich minerals, such as potassium, phosphorus and calcium, which are all elements that our human body often needs. Oranges are also rich in B vitamins and carotene, which is also good for our eyesight. Organic acids in oranges can also promote gastric acid secretion, and rich pectin and dietary fiber can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help relieve constipation.
Therefore, eating oranges can be said to have many benefits to our health. In addition to nutrition, I still think the smell of oranges is also a benefit, which makes people feel happy and relaxed. No wonder orange essential oil is the favorite of many people.
There are many kinds of oranges, such as navel orange, sweet orange and blood orange in Ganzhou. Different kinds of oranges and oranges produced in different regions have great differences in taste and slightly different nutritional components, but they are basically the same. Eating oranges is good for our health. What are the specific benefits? Let's look at the conclusions of various studies.
First, anthocyanins contained in blood oranges have multiple benefits to our human health.
Blood orange contains a substance called anthocyanin, which can make the pulp look like blood.
According to scientists' research, this substance has a good antioxidant effect, which can prevent our cells from being damaged, reduce the risk of cancer, and at the same time reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and enhance immunity.
Oranges also contain many vitamins, especially vitamin C.
We know that vitamin C helps to improve our immunity. You can take vitamin C tablets when you have a cold to promote the cure of the cold. Insufficient vitamin C will cause scurvy, and patients will have symptoms such as oral ulcers and bleeding gums, which can be fatal in severe cases. At first, people treated and prevented this disease by eating oranges.
During the voyage in Europe, many sailors lived at sea for a long time and lacked fresh vegetables. They mainly eat bacon. Lead to vitamin C deficiency, septicemia and heavy casualties. Later, doctors found that eating oranges and lemons can prevent this disease, and then they will bring a lot of oranges when sailing.
3. Oranges are also rich in trace elements such as iron, copper and zinc, which is beneficial for our human body to supplement trace elements.
Oranges are rich in plant fiber, which helps us defecate and prevent constipation.
Oranges are very beneficial to our health. However, we do not recommend drinking oranges directly here. Because the plant fiber in fruit juice is lost, fruit juice is very easy to raise blood sugar, which is not good for our health. Once, I met a pregnant mother. In order to be healthy, she squeezed juice at home and drank a large glass of various juices every day-orange juice, watermelon juice, grape juice, passion fruit juice ... Finally, she succeeded in drinking blood sugar to an abnormal level, and finally went to the hospital, only to find that the culprit was juice.
Speaking of eating oranges, I have a say. Recently, on my way to find food, I happened to go to the Ehime jelly orange base of an ecological farm.
I tasted it and it was delicious. I ate several in a row. Let's talk about the benefits of oranges first:
First of all, oranges are very rich in nutrition, such as Ehime Jelly Orange, which has a very high vitamin content, and the vitamin C content far exceeds that of its kind. Eating these oranges regularly can effectively improve immunity.
This kind of orange juice is rich in water and high in vitamin C, so it won't get angry if you eat more.
Ehime orange is rich in vitamin C and has whitening effect. Beautiful women who like beauty must not miss it. You can squeeze a glass of juice yourself, which is nutritious, healthy and delicious.
I made some beautiful platters for the children, and the children liked them very much. Children like to drink, so I will manually squeeze juice for them, which is nutritious and healthy.
