The answer is no, of course. Eggs are rich in protein, which is one of the few sources of high-quality protein. Especially for diabetics, eggs can not only provide protein needed by human body, but also have low fat and sugar content, which is very suitable for diabetics.
Then why do you often see suggestions that diabetics should avoid eating eggs?
In fact, there is no direct causal relationship between diabetes and avoiding eating eggs. Due to the prevalence of eating high-sugar and high-calorie foods, the number of obese people has increased and the number of diabetic patients has also increased. Most people who love sugar not only have diabetes, but also have various complications, such as hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. Eating eggs, especially yolk, is not recommended at this time, because the high cholesterol in eggs is generally concentrated in the position of yolk. Studies have shown that 50 grams of eggs contain 293 grams of cholesterol.
Is it okay to remove the egg yolk and eat only the egg white?
It doesn't make much sense, because the high-quality protein in eggs is stored in the yolk. When you only eat protein, you get very little nutrition. Moreover, egg yolk also contains a strong emulsifier, which can reduce the formation and retention of cholesterol in the blood, which is very beneficial for sugar lovers with only one disease of hyperglycemia. But there are two kinds of foods that diabetics must not eat.
1. High carbon water food
People in China have been influenced by their eating habits since ancient times. When it comes to staple food, they think of high-carbon aquatic foods such as rice, noodles or rice products. And foods with high carbon and high water content are most likely to lead to increased blood sugar. Many people feel uncomfortable without eating a meal, and they are particularly hungry without eating rice products. It is not impossible to eat rice. If you really want rice, you can add some coarse grains.
Coarse grains contain extremely high cellulose, which can not only enhance satiety, but also promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance insulin sensitivity. Moreover, the carbohydrates in miscellaneous grains are far less than those in rice flour products, which is a good staple food choice for diabetics.
2. High-fat food
For example, fried food, big fish and big meat are all high-fat foods. In our body, the intake of fat will lead to a significant increase in blood lipid content after reaching a certain level. It was found that glycerol produced after fat hydrolysis was catalyzed by glycerol kinase to form glycerol triphosphate, which was converted into dihydroxyacetone phosphate by dehydrogenase and into sugar through EMP pathway. It can be seen that the intake of a large number of high-fat foods will also lead to an increase in blood sugar content. Moreover, the blood consistency of diabetic patients is higher than that of normal healthy people. After a large amount of fat enters the blood, it will also cause the increase of blood viscosity, which will easily lead to acute cardiovascular diseases caused by blood vessel blockage such as thrombosis.
Although high-fat food is very enjoyable to eat, especially for diabetics, its adverse effects can not be underestimated, so controlling your mouth has become the top priority in controlling diabetes.
People are omnivores. According to research, people should keep more than 20 kinds of food intake every day to ensure that people can get enough kinds of vitamins and trace elements. It is undoubtedly unreasonable that Mr. Zhou only eats vegetables to treat diabetes. As long as we control the intake of various foods in our daily life and eat more foods that are conducive to lowering blood sugar, we can achieve a good effect of controlling the disease.
1. orchids
Broccoli is of great benefit to lose weight, remove substances accumulated in blood vessels and lower blood sugar. According to the American Journal of Scientific Translational Medicine, broccoli contains a substance called carotene, which has a good clinical experimental effect on controlling hyperglycemia. Moreover, this substance is being further studied by scientists, or it is expected to become the main component of new drugs for treating diabetes.
2. Black sesame
Black sesame is rich in trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus, and essential vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin E that cannot be synthesized independently by human body, especially vitamin E, which has a protective effect on pancreatic cells. Black sesame contains high fat, so although it is beneficial to diabetics, it is not suitable for eating in large quantities. Take it once every 1-2 days and keep it at about 10g.
lettuce
Lettuce is a very suitable vegetable for diabetics. Lettuce is full of treasures. First of all, lettuce is low in sugar content and high in cellulose, which is conducive to promoting intestinal peristalsis, helping digestion and enhancing patients' appetite. Secondly, lettuce is low in calories, but high in inorganic salts and trace elements. In particular, the content of nicotinic acid is high, and nicotinic acid is called the activator of insulin. Moreover, the rich potassium ion in lettuce is beneficial to regulate the ion balance in the body, thus achieving the effect of diuresis. Long-term consumption of lettuce by diabetic patients is beneficial to the control of blood sugar.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Mr. Zhou suddenly realized that his blood sugar would soon return to normal if he controlled his condition reasonably according to the doctor's instructions.
In fact, if you are diagnosed with diabetes, there is no need to imagine diabetes as horrible as Mr. Zhou, which leads to a long-term tension. Illness requires a positive and normal attitude. It is not difficult to control blood sugar at a normal level as long as you follow the doctor's advice, take medicine and change your diet, quit bad habits such as overeating and staying up late, and strengthen physical exercise.
