For how to prevent diabetes through health, we should start with "three more and three less":
1 to prevent the total calorie intake from being too high,
2, prevent the fat ratio from being too high,
3. Prevent the proportion of dietary fiber from being too low; Increase the intake of fish,
4. Increase the intake of grains, especially coarse grains,
5. Increase the intake of high-fiber food,
6, finally achieve the purpose of reducing dietary calorie density.
Behind tens of millions of diabetic patients, there stands a larger reserve army of diabetes-people with impaired glucose tolerance, and one of the keys to prevent diabetes is to prevent this group from developing into diabetic patients. Therefore, people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, obesity, smoking and over 50 years old should regularly monitor their blood sugar. Once abnormal glucose tolerance is found, intervention measures should be taken in time, combining health, rationality and drug intervention.
Introduction: Unhealthy diet, nutritional deficiency and smoking are the three behavioral risk factors of chronic diseases, and lifestyle intervention can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Because the energy supply ratio of carbohydrates in food is closely related to diabetes, diabetics and high-risk groups should reasonably allocate the ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein on the premise of ensuring that the total daily intake of calories does not exceed the standard, and the daily intake of carbohydrates should account for %-60% of the total calories.
When people at high risk of diabetes consume enough carbohydrates every day, they should choose foods with low glycemic index, increase the intake of dietary fiber, and eat foods with low glycemic index for a long time, which can inhibit the excessive rise of blood sugar after meals and reduce the workload of islet B cells, thus avoiding the damage of high glucose toxicity and hyperinsulinemia to various organs and cells of the body. Developing a low glycemic index diet is not only suitable for diabetics, but also suitable for people with impaired glucose tolerance, and even meaningful for healthy people. Because the low-glycemic index diet can reduce low-density lipoprotein and cholesterol, it can also prevent arteriosclerosis, hypertension and colon cancer.
The glycemic index is also related to cooking methods. The longer the food processing time, the higher the temperature and the higher the glycemic index, and vice versa. Such as porridge cooked for a long time, its glycemic index is quite high, while the glycemic index of rice is lower than that of porridge. After understanding the above principles, we can choose foods with low glycemic index purposefully. Adopt appropriate processing methods to realize scientific diet.
